I've played the Civ series since Civ 3 as a child, and each new game has added so much to the series. But I felt like Civ 5 was weaker, and hoped Civ 6 would return to scratch that civ itch from my childhood. It did so much more than that. The gameplay was so smooth. The interface and controls were very intuitive. The new game modes, leaders, and abilities just inspired me to sink another 30+ hours each time I picked it up again. I have nothing negative to say about Civ 6. And I hope you give it a chance!
