Civilization 7 has only received 39% positive reviews since its early access release. The game is set to officially launch on February 11, but it’s unlikely that significant changes will be made by then.
Why the Bad Reviews?
Players have pointed out several issues with the game:
- Inconvenient Interface: Many users have criticized the user interface for being clunky and unintuitive.
- No Hotseat Multiplayer: The absence of hotseat multiplayer mode has disappointed fans who enjoy playing together on the same device.
- Few Leaders: The game offers a limited selection of leaders, which has been a point of contention.
- Crooked and Stupid Mechanics: Some players have found the game mechanics to be illogical and frustrating.
- Crappy Civilization Change System: The system for changing civilizations has been described as poorly implemented.
- No Optimization and DLSS: Lack of optimization and support for DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) has been another major complaint.
The Silver Lining
Despite the negative feedback, some players see potential in the game:
- Lack of Workers: A few players have appreciated the decision to reduce the reliance on workers, which simplifies gameplay.
Awaiting February 11
