On the expansive world map featuring the iconic Sechecken, you initially search for a location for your people’s inaugural settlement.
From there, you investigate your environment, meet other empires, city-states, and even outlaws.
Each of these facets influences your journey, but your political and research choices dictate your focus. Whether you aim to become a trading or military powerhouse, or establish a global religion, there are numerous strategies to achieve victory.
Civ 6 incorporates a plethora of interconnected systems. If you wish to explore the topic further, we suggest checking out our review of Civ 6. The game holds an average score of 88 on Metacritic. Upon its initial release, Civ 6 didn’t sit well with series veterans, as its deficient AI and vibrant, comic book-inspired visuals did not please longtime enthusiasts. However, over time, part 6 managed to gain traction and found success, albeit a bit late.
As per usual, you have one full week, until July 17, 2025, at 5 p.m., to claim the game for free via the Epic Games Store.
