Sid Meier's Civilization VI - Nintendo Switch

Arrived in good condition. Good game, though I takes some time to lose or win. But you can save progress.

I've never played Civilization before, but for $15 I gave it a shot. Now I'm out 250 hours of my life. And an additional $50 for DLC for hundreds of more hours. Thanks 2K and Firaxis for the perfect quarantine game. Seriously, once you understand the gameplay mechanics, this game really is addictive. Since beginning to play, I've spent a lot of time on forums and watching videos to better understand options and optimize gameplay. The vanilla game is fun if you've never played before, as I hadn't. Having bought the DLC, I can say that it is certainly worth it and greatly enhances the game; I'd say the base game is about 65% of what it is with all DLC. For the base game, you start your game as a civilization in the ancient era and work your way towards the information era. The early game is mainly about exploration of land, meeting other civilizations, and slowly expanding your cities. The mid game centers around setting up your one of 4 victory conditions (culture, religion, domination, and science), and when you typically build up your cities and improve tiles. The late game is all about doing what you need to for your victory condition; you're no longer settling or building up cities and all focus is on your victory. I would say the early game is the most fun since you're about as strong, if not weaker than the AI (depending on difficulty), and the mid game is fun since everything you're doing in your cities has meaning toward your victory. The late game, I've found, becomes tedious. Most of your cities are already well developed, so managing them is pointless as well as a chore. At this point, it'll be pretty clear that you've won; it's just a matter of when. The latter stages of the game don't take away from the overall value of the game, but certainly something worth noting. For the Switch version, there is no online multiplayer and I don't think the devs are working on it. I didn't have any issues with the vanilla game as far as bugs or performance; loading times are much longer on the Switch as opposed to the PC, and it will lag during the late game, but nothing impacting gameplay. With DLC, however, I've found there to be numerous bugs and crashes.

Probably top ten best game series ever. On any platform. Dangerously addictive. Taking away one star due to switch hardware. Not great for the switch. Play on smaller maps only.

Great game! I've played the older Sid Meier Civ III game but haven't played the newer ones yet, mainly because I was so happy with the original version I had. But it was definitely time to jump back in with a new version and I decided to pick up the Switch version over the PC version. This way I can play on the go, at work (during breaks/lunch), while riding as a passenger, or on our vacations. Yes it lags a little bit towards the end when there is a lot of AI movement. But if you haven't played it on a computer you won't realize it and/or it isn't that big of a deal. Having this amazing game available on a potable format is so worth it! Graphics are great and words are readable even on the smaller handheld screen. With the Switches ability to come out of sleep mode very quickly it is easy to play a turn or two and then turn it off and then come back a little bit later and ice again pick it up quickly. Functionality is great, Nintendo did a great job at porting this game!! Recommend to anyone.

I love, love, LOVE Civilization and have owned every Civ game except for the original Civ1. I've spent countless hours on these games over the years. When I heard I can get Civ on the switch as a handheld this sounded awesome! Civ on the train! On the bus! On long roadtrips! I expected some performance issues and controls issues but I figured I could live with it. After spending days with it, I have come to the conclusion that while it's a great portable play of Civ, I'd still prefer it on the PC or even a laptop if I could do it all over again! Firstly this is a FULL Civ6 game, there's no features removed or changes to handicap the game. However the first problem I noticed is the abysmal controls. Playing Civ with joysticks and buttons is not ideal. I figured I'd get used to it over time but after several days it's still annoying and cumbersome to do even simple things like move a unit or scroll the screen around. Using touch controls is actually better than the joysticks and a bit closer to the PC experience. However scrolling with touch can be annoying and I suggest using touch to "play" and the joystick to scroll. Then there's the performance. There is laaaaaaaaaaaaagggg. There is perceivable lag with everything and the most serious is scrolling. Everything feels like slow motion as outputs are a second or slower than input. Move a unit, takes a moment for it to actually move. Scroll the screen? Slowly watch the whole view move. The whole thing feels like a slow yacht moving through the water. The performance is better docked but then you lose the touch controls and have to stick with the joysticks. Overall the mobility of the game on Switch is great but I find myself wishing I had a mouse and keyboard and a more powerful more instant playing experience all the time.

Très bon jeu. Difficile de gagner. On retrouve l’esprit des civilisations même sur switch c’est top.

The physical product is good, no issues at all, came brand new with plastic wrapping. For the game itself, I have never played Civilization at all and it took me a while to get used to how much details and functions in-game. Watched a few tutorials and learnt as I played. Very fun and interesting if you enjoy strategy games with a lot of freedom to tweak many things to affect your game. Expect to put in many hours into this.

Es ist super dass wir dieses legendaere strategiespiel nun auch fuer die switch haben!

Anothergreat civ game same as the rest of the series, works well on switch with controls suprisingly
