They also removed leader animations and voices, meaning your interactions with the other leaders will be a static experience rather than the somewhat manic visits from the PC/Mac’s overacting oligarchs. The graphics are definitely lower than what you’d expect on a high-end machine, but they’re not much different from what I see when I play on my Mac. This is the full game, and Aspyr did a great job making sure that the only differences between the iPad and its big brother are cosmetic. How much of that translates to the iPad? All of it. We already knew all that, however, from the brilliant PC/Mac version. There’s also 20 different civs to lead, and random map creation so there’s a good chance you’ll never tire of your adventures in Civ-land.ġ024×768 163 KB You begin to expect every discovery to end with Ned Stark’s decapitation. There’s war and science, religion and trade. ![]() By the end of the game, you’ll have several screens worth of cards to play, which becomes a game in and of itself.Īpart from those two major additions, Civ VI takes what we’ve come to know and love about Civ and polish it to a fine sheen. When a new Civics advance is researched, you can shuffle and play whatever cards you’ve earned that you have slots for with the more advanced Governments, and some Wonders, opening up more slots. You earn cards by researching on the Civics tree, using culture the same way old Civ games had you unlocking techs with Science (that still happens in Civ VI, too). Instead of a Government type automatically granting you new benefits, in Civ VI they open up new card slots. The other major update are the Social Policies. As such, I want to focus less on the game itself (did I mention that it’s pretty great?) and more on how the port–that, honestly, I never thought we’d see–holds up.ġ024×768 159 KB You say Potala, I say patella. Thus, you won’t be surprised to know I went into this review expecting to love the game. Secondly, I managed to be good enough that Santa brought me a new iPad Pro, so I spent these last two weeks breaking it in with marathon sessions of Civilization VI.Ĭivilization VI came to PC and Mac back in 2016 and I loved it enough on my Mac that it nabbed the top spot of my Best Games of 2016 list. ![]() First of all, two of my kids have seen the light in regards to Santa, so they know those Xbox games came directly from their already meager inheritance rather than an elvish sweat shop. Not only are the kids home, but they’re hopped up on gingerbread and peppermint not to mention the entitlement that comes along with being told they’re “good” based solely on presents received from a mystical fat guy. My kids had nearly two weeks off school for the holiday break, which usually translates to some of my worst headaches of the year. ![]()
