I love Civilisation III. I'm not talking about earlier ones as some of them have theirs own charm, but to me III is still the best in terms of economics management and diplomacy, while IV and V are meh.
However, I've tried to give VI a chance, especially because I've no any other game of the series on Switch. There are some improvements over V, but that's not good enough, hence 4 stars.
Pros:
- It is still Civilisation. Sure, not the best version in my opinion but still it is the same turn-based strategy with research tree and some modern gimmicks plus variations of game mechanics.
Cons:
- Controls and UI are a bit tricky on Switch.
- I've not found a schematic map instead of 3d rendered glory (V had it). Might exist somewhere, though.
If you've are not fan of Civ III or new player to Civilisation, then I guess you might find VI to be better than V and enjoy the game as overall it develops in direction set by V.
