Good… Until You Finish The First Game

A couple years ago my very close friend introduced me to Civilization 5, I imediately fell in love with the game. I got all the expansion packs and everything, I loved the historical elements (A huge history nerd teenager) that came along with it, and learning about the different famous leaders, diffferent city names of each civilzation–everything. My friend, the same friend, got this game and said he played it for the frist 100 turns or so and he didn’t like it. I was determined to seek some good interest in the game. I started playing it, and it felt like all the civilisations were practically the same. They all had the same units, same look to the buildings; it is NOT original. Also, the biggest problem in this game is that theres no way to gauge how far you are in the game, because its in the future and everything, which is cool but its a game that was built around revolving history. By the time I was at 400 turns, I repeat, 400 turns, I had only conquered one civilisation, this was on the quickest speed possible to run the game. Maybe I was taking my time in the game but nonethless, by around 250-300 turns I would have conquered the world by then. I don’t know what really happened there as to why it’s so slow. Also I only played one game and lost interest pretty quickly. It wasn’t worth the $50 I paid for it, It should have been more like 10$ – 15$. Thanks for reading my review, have a great morning, day, or evening (depending on when you’re reading this)!
