So, the question now is: did 2K Games and Firaxis fix these shortcomings with Civ5:G&K? For the hasty the answer is yes, to a good extent. And, frankly, there was not that much to do between turns since some mechanics were taken out from the last installments (like religion and espionage) and so we could easily get bored after a while. Diplomacy didn’t feel right and combat had many shortcomings.
#Civ 5 gods and kings series#
Actually I received very positive feedback from a couple of gamers, experienced ones, that didn’t know the series until then.īut, Civ5 did have some serious problems upon release. And, to someone new to the Civilization series this was surely a great game to pick up on. Not for its brilliant balancing, AI strength or replayability factors, but for its production value (overall quality and attention to details) and above all for some of its innovation aspects, which in my opinion were quite bold and refreshing, namely the introduction of City-States and the 1UPT system (one unit per tile). I felt that Civ5 was a good game, but not that great, especially if you had in-depth experience from the series’ previous games. But, many players thought otherwise and gave this 5 th installment mixed and even negative reviews, some of which even quite violent especially from the series’ hardcore fans. When Civilization 5 came out it was highly praised by the critics from whom it received very good reviews. But, as far as I can remember, the most controversial of all Civ releases has been this 5th installment. I remember that Civ3 had many issues when it was first released and Civ4 also had a few bumps on the road upon release. The bar was very high, so, it was surely no easy task to improve a series that felt already so complete, and for many, perfect.Ĭiv’s new releases are never consensual, or smooth. Sid Meier’s Civilization 4 is considered by many as one of the best strategy games ever created, which got even better with Beyond the Sword, Civ4’s 2 nd expansion.
