![]() A score victory – gained by an all-around performance where you have the highest score after 500 turns. A religious victory – gained by converting the entire world to your chosen religion. A military victory – gained by dominating and conquering the world with your army. I was promptly caught in a 3-front war within 120 turns, and decided I needed to give this game another try.Īfter spending the next couple of hours researching for guides online, I re-started with a much more focused attempt at playing Civilization VI. The tutorial tries to help but frankly, there’s no tutorial that can save you if you’re not a true series veteran. I chose the Vikings (because, Vikings) and was quickly making important decisions without really having a clue what to do. Honestly though, my first playthrough was a complete blur. Listening to the description of each leader as narrated by Sean Bean is an awesome experience – his voice makes every description in the game fittingly epic. With how hotly-contested and close some of the races to domination end up being, as you move from BC to AD, this initial choice can end up making a big difference between victory and defeat at the end. The Japanese, meanwhile, allow access to the Samurai unique unit, as well as the production of the electronics district – which is quite a boon in the mid-to-late game. For example, the Vikings give benefits to your naval units and production, and allow you to pillage from naval units. ![]() Each gives benefits that fit the flavour of the real-life empire they are affiliated with. Choose wisely, because this choice is not just cosmetic. It all begins by choosing your nation by way of choosing its’ leader. The early stages of the game are very familiar to anyone who has played the series before. Yes, by the time it’s time to start playing, you’re all pumped-up and ready to go. Sean Bean usually means someone’s going to die, so it better not be you. Rising above the music, the iconic voice of Sean Bean reaches into your heart and pulls it out of your eardrums. The music soars, lifting you to the peaks of humanity, and drags you down to its’ depths as it plummets down into our struggles. The beautiful visuals are paired with some of the best audio I’ve ever heard in a PC game. Upon first booting up the game (did I say boot up, does that give away my age), you’re greeted immediately with a stunningly inspiring animated short that sets the stage for the emotionally-draining journey you’re about to embark on. I didn’t manage to get into the multiplayer, so I’ll be focusing on the single player experience for this review.
