Journalists shared their impressions of Civilization 7 in final previews

Civilization VII previews are generating excitement, despite initial concerns about gameplay shifts from previous installments. Reviewers praise several key aspects:

  • Dynamic Era Focus: Each new era allows players to refocus their civilization's development, ensuring past progress remains relevant.

  • Personalized Leader Bonuses: Frequently used leaders unlock unique bonuses, adding a personalized replayability element.

  • Era-Specific Gameplay: The multiple eras (antiquity, modernity, etc.) offer distinct gameplay experiences within each time period.

  • Adaptive Crisis Management: The game's flexibility allows for effective responses to challenges. One preview highlighted a scenario where neglecting military development led to a crisis, but resourceful adaptation allowed for recovery.

Civilization VII launches February 11th on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and is Steam Deck verified.
