Oh wow, didnt realize it was PC only.

In a age where Civilization and other Simulation games are coming out on consoles as well, strange choice.

*feels bad for Ara then votes for the most popular game*

Can't blame anyone though. Ara is for a very specific audience and for the time being, it's a PC-only game. It looks phenomenal though! Like a proper next-gen Sid Meier's Civilization if Firaxis wasn't used to not having any actual competition lol

Well to be honest I havent played a single City sim/strategy sim so cant say I would be excited for it lol.

It depends on what kind of simulation games they are. Civilization 6 is actually very divisive amongst the fanbase because the game was developed with console in mind. Instead of broad, realistic, life-size biomes like in previous games, Civ 6 was a flat map, almost like a tabletop game with geography layouts on top of it. That allowed the game to be nowhere near as CPU heavy for even mobile devices.

Huh? I don't understand what you mean here. How is Civ VI more flat and like a tabletop than Civ V or previous civ games? They are all tile/hex based maps. I don't think Civ VI was designed with consoles in mind. The first console version was over 2 years after the PC version.

Civ VI isn't a cpu demanding game though. It's turn based so not the same as simulation titles like Cities Skylines 2 that do need a beefy cpu to run well.
