#CIVILIZATION VI DEMO SERIES#

There were times I would just sit back and relax, looking at the individual buildings and units, zooming in up close to admire the intricacy and detail that Firaxis has poured into every single aspect of the game.

Cities look amazing too, each of them recreated with different architectural components depending on the civilisation you play as, while thereвЂ™s even a day/night cycle, which brings cities to life with twinkling lights and campfires. The game has a real sense of flair, and screenshots really havenвЂ™t done it justice-it looks beautiful in motion.ДЇrom snow-capped mountain ranges and sand dunes, to coastal oceans lapping against the shore and rivers that glint in the morning sun, Civ VI captures nature and makes it look breathtaking. The results are absolutely gorgeous, and while IвЂ™m sure the visuals will divide opinion, IвЂ™d argue Firaxis has picked the better-looking of the two aesthetic approaches. While Civ VI retains the functional hex-grid structure introduced by Civ V, developer Firaxis has dropped the more realistic look, redesigning everything with brighter colours and cartoonish characters more similar to those in Civilization Revolution. Of course, the most recognisable change is the art style. It might even be the most in-depth Civilization game to date. The good news is that in the 15 hours and several hundred turns I've poured into a pre-release version of the game-which features all of the structural and mechanical features from the retail release, half of the gameвЂ™s 20 distinct civilisations, a comprehensive list of different map types, three map sizes, and two game speeds- Civ VI is already very good indeed.

The release of Civilization VI is the next big step, and after 2014вЂ™s good-but-not-outstanding Civilization: Beyond Earth, which felt more like a spinoff than a sequel, expectations are high.

ItвЂ™s an important milestone for a series that has shaped the strategy genre in countless ways over the last quarter-century. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Sid MeierвЂ™s Civilization.
