Journalists shared their impressions of Civilization 7 in final previews

Civilization VII previews are generating significant buzz ahead of its February 11th release. While Firaxis faced initial pushback for altering core gameplay mechanics, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Key highlights include:

• Dynamic Era Focus: Players can strategically refocus their civilization's efforts with each new era, building upon past successes.

• Personalized Leader Bonuses: Frequently chosen leaders unlock unique advantages, adding a layer of personalized strategy.

• Era-Specific Gameplay: The multiple eras (antiquity, modernity, etc.) offer distinct gameplay experiences within each time period.
