4/10/2023 0 Comments Civilization 6 ps4![]() ![]() How you go about growing and evolving your society is completely up to you, and there is no absolutely right way to do it. Every outcome is an adventure, failure or success seldom dictates how much fun the hours or days you spent to that point have provided. Every misstep is a learning opportunity, and every defeat provides insight that can be utilized in future games. But that really is part of the fun of a 4X game, and Civ in particular. Your civilization may flourish, or stagnate and diminish, it may even die horribly, either slain by enemies, killed by incompetence, or act of God. ![]() From humble beginnings as hunter-gatherers, through advances in cultivation, and later diplomacy, warfare, trade, and scientific research. You begin proceeding in the same way you start pretty much any game in the genre by controlling a primitive tribe and slowly evolving and growing them into an advanced culture. Being essentially the Godfather of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate), it in many ways defines the genre, at least in what many purists consider the genre to be, for better or worse.Ĭiv VI is certainly no different.

Your civilization may flourish, or stagnate and diminish, it may even die horribly, either slain by enemies, killed by incompetence, or act of God.Ĭivilization is one of those titles that most gamers know about in one way or another. And while that is a substantial absence, the final product has in many ways made up for its time away by being about as good a Civilization game as it could possibly be.

Civilization has a long history on console and on the PlayStation in particular, with both Civ 1 and 2 seeing solid if somewhat clunky ports back in the 1990s. And in the case of Civilization, the perception that Civ is a PC-bound franchise has actually never been true. But the tired PC vs Console sniping is out-dated and as this exceptional console release demonstrates the distinction between platforms has very little actual meaning in modern gaming. I could start this review with a very obvious joke about the peasants being given the keys to the kingdom now that the console bound masses are finally getting a full-fat serving of the formally PC-bound Civilization franchise.
