Civilization 7s multiplayer is the smoothest version Ive played across any game in the series.

But it will prove divisive.

Civilization 6 had its full-on season pass and leader releases for many years.

Civ 7 Launch Pad, horses, unique buildings and districts.

What sort of game works best for a live-service model?

A multiplayer game, where players can show off their purchases.

I wouldnt be surprised if they started releasing leader skins.

Were just a few small steps away from Gandhi hitting the griddy.

As a result, it seems like Firaxis has put more effort into its multiplayer mode than before.

I played a short game with the developers in pre-release and was shocked how smoothly it all ran.

A Lightsaber in Fortnite’s Galactic Battle season.

In the current state, Id say that the Antiquity Age is the best of the three.

It has well-balanced victory conditions that dont feel as railroaded as the Exploration and Modern Ages.

You dont need to ride out a game of Civilization for nine hours anymore.

Civilization 7 Friedrich, Baroque-1

Each Age is its own distinct game.

Much of the tedious micromanagement has gone from Civilization 7.

Less micromanagement means less pointless clicking.

Hatshepsut contemplating in Civilization 7.

Great for the health of the game, especially in multiplayer.

We never love Civ at launch, but this one has the best chance yet of going the distance.
