When this was released, I was so happy to have a game from Amplitude Studios, who I had followed since Endless Space, taking on the seemingly untouchable Civilization.

But somehow it never grabbed me. Typically, I can remember what happened in each game of Civ V and Civ VI when I think back, but here it just seems like a confusing swirl of "stuff happened and then it ended".

It just seems so undefined and wishy-washy and haphazardly designed, and other than the fluid cultures, I can't even put my finger on why it feels that way.

But, to highlight a positive: As always with Amplitude Studios, the UI is super polished and looks modern and understandable.

Not a bad game by any means, but I would not recommend it even to strategy fans.

Excellent Civ like strategy game. I really like the tile based tactical battle that opens up what a battle is started between two armies.

和文明六的大结构基本上是相近的，但是有它自己好玩的东西
先说问题：
1.每个时代可选不同国家这个可能会影响代入感，这个看人
2.发展路径同质化，有类似文明的多种获胜方向但是实际在游戏中不明显
3.战棋式的摇骰子随机伤害，这个也是看人喜好，在我个人角度可以接受
4.部分模块的影响比较弱，在个人体验里贸易线和间谍系统没什么感觉，基本上也没用上
5.教程引导比较一般，有些模块具体的作用如果不看那个又臭又长的内置视频就不懂，看完了上手又感觉没啥用
6.ui实用性只能说中规中矩，有些地方不太好用需要适应
7.城市数值有点不平衡，有时候要不现实地拉数值

再说优点：
1.上好的美术，各类平面设计，图标插图相当漂亮，就是冲着这个来的捏
2.和文明六不同的战斗系统，战斗单独开战场做部署的感觉比文明六要拟真也更加战斗爽
3.和文明不同的城市兼并模式（特殊情况下数值惩罚有点简单了，但是这个兼并模式我的理解而言更现实）
4.玩家角色的能力一定程度上来说还取决于游戏外的玩家成就，有点聊胜于无的养成，不同时代的玩家角色还会换衣服，做得不算特别好但是已经比文明有意思了
5.城市聚落的模型和地图缩放效果相当不错，建议鉴赏（可惜没有摄影模式，自从玩了帝国时代3之后我觉得rts给个拍照还原场景真的很好玩）

总结：勉强和文明六打平，数值和发展路径不如文明，但战斗系统（这个见仁见智）和美术比文明好，鉴定为打折购入可以当代餐，但是可能耐玩性不如文明6，美术能和文明7对垒
