I didn't think "Civilization VI" sucked. But I didn't play it very much either. Not because I thought it was bad; just because I thought earlier iterations were better. (And because I must necessarily limit my Civilization-intake for health reasons. Doctors orders. Apparently playing Civilization for days straight without break was destroying my body ;-) But that's par for the course with the Civilization series. They release a great game. Then the sequel adds mad new ideas en masse. The next game pares things down a bit. The one after that finds a new balance for all the additions, and greatness is achieved once more. Then the cycle repeats. Civilization 1: awesome Civilization 2: some really nice ideas, but messy Civilization 3: tried to clean things up, didn't quite make it Civilization 4: awesome Civilization 5: some really nice ideas, but messy Civilization 6: tried to clean things up, didn't quite make it Civilization 7: ????? Will the next version of the game be awesome? I've no idea. I've really not followed news of the game. Honestly, I don't need to. I already own so many Civilization games I could play those for the rest of my life and be satisfied. But I'm not writing off the seventh game until it comes out.
