Nov 21, 2019Civilization VI is essential. Not only is it a game that's educational, informative, and inspirational (see my video above for more thoughts around that), but it's also deeply pertinent to today's world and gives players a way of seeing - and grappling - with the topic on their own terms. There are deeper strategy games out there (though not on PlayStation 4), but Civilization's accessibility and polish make it the perfect introduction to the genre, and while the PS4 port doesn't do anything beyond what was already on offer, this is still one of the best things released on the console this year.

Mar 9, 2020Perhaps the greatest triumph for Civilization VI on PlayStation is that it is the full, uncut, and immersive Civilization experience PC players have been enjoying for decades perfectly translated to console. A challenging, but welcoming strategy title that is either the perfect entry point for new players, or the single best reason for long-time fans who have transitioned to a more couch-based gaming lifestyle to jump back in.

Dec 30, 2019Civilization VI in its fullest ultimate form debuts on consoles strongly, transferring all of the parts of a beloved strategy franchise onto controller and TV screens. With its expansions and rich content, really well balanced learning curve and heavenly presentation, it is a must play for any strategy lover.

Nov 21, 2019Sid Meier's Civilization VI on console works perfectly and it's a pleasure to play.

Nov 21, 2019Basically, if you enjoy 4X games or are a Civilization fan, you have to pick this up. But you didn’t need me to tell you that. It’s already on your list and Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is already in the download queue. If it’s not, you’ve got time right now to remedy that.
-
Dec 30, 2019There is a wide variety of nations and leaders to choose from, as well as a variety of Victory conditions to pursue and an even greater abundance of maps randomly generated or otherwise to build your empire. There are grievances that could be improved, sure. But those are really ancillary to the the core loop you experience. A loop that is hard to break out of. Civilization VI is top-notch and feels right at home on a console.
-
Dec 19, 2019The great Civilization VI works perfectly well in Nintendo Switch. Is one of the best strategic game of the last years, and it's pure addictive thanks to portable mode.
-
Dec 2, 2019A brilliant port and a brilliant game. There aren't any real issues with the game whatsoever and nothing that would put you off purchasing it. If you are a fan of the series or even interested in the Civilization series, it is a must buy!
-
Dec 2, 2019Although it doesn’t include all the PC game’s extra content, Civ VI comes to the PS4 and Xbox with both the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions and the latter in particular is a literal game changer. I can certainly imagine using Civ VI as an engaging educational tool to consider the many competing forces around climate change. That sounds dreary. Of course, Civilization VI on PS4 remains what it has always been: addictive, accessible and fun.
-
Nov 22, 2019The already marvelous Civilization VI makes the jump to PS4 almost entirely intact, and with the addition of two meaty expansions, this is an essential title for console strategy fans. It’s a little overwhelming for newcomers, but it treats the player with respect and rewards a curious mind with an utterly absorbing experience.
-
Nov 21, 2019Absolutely recommended both to those who want to go back to rewriting the destiny of humanity with a pad in their hands and to beginners who wish to approach one of the most important fragments of gaming history ever.

Nov 21, 2019Civilization VI is a fantastic strategy game, and having it on consoles will allow plenty of newcomers the chance to experience it for the first time.
-
Nov 21, 2019Civilization VI is an excellent strategy game that offers numerous ways to play, and all of them are viable options. You can lead a peaceful nation or a war-mongering empire and still have an engrossing and rewarding experience like few others on PS4. Excessive load times, grating music, and some occasionally irksome controls are the only real downsides to what is otherwise the system's best strategy game, and a title that strategy fans can scarcely afford to skip.
-
Nov 21, 2019If you like the genre, it is absolutely essential.

Jan 6, 2020With improved graphics and very responsive control, the developer Firaxis has managed to do what few do when bringing a PC strategy game to the world of consoles.

Dec 13, 2019While the PC edition is the undisputed king, the first true, numbered console edition of the series is wonderfully designed and - much like the “chronophage” it always was - it is destined to lead unsuspecting console gamers into many sleepless nights.
-
Dec 5, 2019The quality of Civilization VI is out of doubt, and console players will be thrilled to hear it’s been successfully adapted to consoles, including to their control schemes.

-
Nov 22, 2019Even without the add-ons the console version of Civilization 6 stands for large-scale strategic entertainment.

Playstation Official Magazine UKDec 17, 2019Minor gripes aside, this is a great PS4 port of a proven game. If you’re a fan of the Civilization series or the turn-based strategy genre, prepare to move in and get building. [Issue#170, p.92]

Dec 2, 2019It's taken a while, but we've finally got a decent Civilization game for consoles. The controls are fine, the gameplay's deep and challenging, and while the graphics aren't exactly top of the bill, they won't hurt the experience either. Good job.
