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.
