The ultra premium all inclusive version with 7 days "early access" (paying extra to play a single player game early LMAO) is $130 and people who were grifted into buying it are not happy.
The largest map size in the game at launch is "normal."
Continent generation is broken beyond belief.
The UI was designed for console babbies and a complete mess on PC.
For a 4x strategy game there is very little info in game on how things work.
Maximum 5 human players for multiplayer.
All fixable problems tbh and I'm sure when I buy it in two years for 75% off it will be a very good game. People who spent $130 to beta test are getting exactly what they deserve.
What's funniest to me is there are very few complaints about the game itself. By all accounts it's a very fun civ game and a worthy successor to civ vi.

I never really understood the appeal of the Civ franchise. It always came off way too gamey to me and not really all that larpy. What's the point of being the germans if you can't form prussia or do a holocaust?

Civ is HOI for people with dyslexia and/or ADHD.

No Civ is EU4 for people with dyslexia and/or ADHD, HOI4 is essentially separate from the rest of the PDX games in that it's a real game, not just a larp sim.

that's because it's literally a strategy game and not a larp game. you don't play civ to larp.
actually it turns out some of the r-slurs here do which I never knew existed, but the game definitely isn't designed for larping.

Civ is a casual strategy game with just enough depth and variation to maintain interest after a few games. It's appeal is that it's NOT an neurodivergent historical grand strategy game, so it's actually playable in multiplayer and doesn't require hundreds of hours to learn.
