The editors didn't like
I have lost way too much sleep time playing it.
Mac version needs help
Still some AI glitches and multiplayer ‘roughness' needing a patch

New city-states feature is a double-edged sword
Games lack a sense of character
Some omissions from multiplayer hurt that experience.

Abstract: Ever since I received my preview copy of Civilization V I have been preoccupied. It’s been a bit frustrating. I just haven’t gotten anything else done. Even when I wasn’t playing the game I was thinking about it. It was just sitting there, patiently, a...

Abstract: Are you sitting there cuddling your RTX 2080 Ti, your flagship Ryzen or Intel CPU and your stunning 4K monitor? Are you then also waking up in a cold sweat at the realisation you have none of those things? I feel for you, we've all got to start our PC gam...
It's two steps forward and one step backward for this series. The graphics are better, the hexagonal tiles make sense, and the social policy system is vastly improved. But the long build times, frustrating battle mechanic (how our armoured tanks can e...
