Replaying Civ 7 after a year
The game still not good. The IU is atrociously bad and the mechanics still well behind Civ 6
The was they divided eras with new civilizations for each era is aboherent, but aside of that it really feels like 3 entirely different rounds with your alliances to city states pretty much resetting every era
The game really wants you to do a step by step list of objectives to win each era. In the end it's simple to win by scoring
Map design is atrocious, taking an infinite amount of time to discover civilizations placed in other continents due to delayed navigation technology trees
But one thing is good, combat feels better than in Civ 6. Sleeker, quicker and less tedious
This game need at least two major expansions and a total rework on how the eras are organized to be good, and even then, I don't think it will be nearly as good as Civ 6
