7th Civilization Impresses in Last Previews

by Jack Feb 21,2025

Civilization VII previews are generating considerable buzz. While Firaxis's significant gameplay departures from previous iterations initially drew some criticism, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers are praising several key features:

Dynamic Era Focus: Each new era allows players to refocus their civilization's development, though past progress continues to impact future gameplay.
Personalized Leader Bonuses: A new system rewards frequently used leaders with unique bonuses, adding a personalized layer to repeated playthroughs.
Era-Specific Gameplay: The multiple eras (antiquity, modernity, etc.) offer distinct, self-contained gameplay experiences within each historical period.
Adaptive Gameplay & Crisis Management: The game's flexibility allows for effective responses to unexpected challenges. One reviewer's experience highlighted the consequences of neglecting military development, demonstrating the need for strategic resource allocation.

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