Civilization 7

Genre: 4x strategy game – Developer: Firaxis Games – Price: 59 euros (discounted by 15 percent)

Civilization 7 was meant to herald the grand return of the series, but numerous fans feel let down: The new mechanics, like the mandatory civilization switch per era and substantial simplifications, have garnered widespread disapproval as they dilute the classic Civ experience.
