Is Sid Meier's Civilization V Any Good

Civilization V

How turn one looks

Civilization is the epitome of a 4X game. Likely if you have know what they are you know what Civilization is. Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate, that is what 4X games are about. You start the game with a settler and a simple warrior and begin your civilization, but I'm getting ahead of myself let's start with that you load up the game and press play. You will be shown a list of leaders throughout history. Each and every one of them has a unique perk.  This can be overwhelming, as a beginner I would just pick whatever looks cool and as you play you will learn what they mean. The game does a pretty good job of explaining itself, but I would still recommend watching some videos on how at least the beginning of the game. The soundtrack fits the theme of the game very well but it does get annoying after a while. The biggest appeal to this  game in my opinion is not just that it has cool moments like medieval knights bombed by WW2 bombers, but that you get a feeling of either being the underdog or being a vast empire depending on how good you are at the game. However without the Brave new world and gods and kings expansion this game is regressive from the last game.

Platform

Later game

When you play a game of civilization you are in for a wild ride but you must be willing to wait a long time and play a game that will go on for a very long time. To cut down on the wait either play single player or pit boss mode.

Conclusion 

Civilization V is a must have for anybody that is a fan of the 4X genre and is good for anybody wanting to learn how to play 4X games wholeheartedly should you get both DLC's. In conclusion Civilization V is good if you have the DLC
