Civilization 7 seems to have more and more difficult to convince the players, despite the constant flow of updates. In reality, the 4X is even at most badly on Steam.
Firaxis hoped to reverse the trend with its latest updates Civilization 7but the PC public remains generally skeptical. Despite the efforts made to correct certain faults, the reception of players on Steam Continue to deteriorate, to the point that the note of the game fell to a historically low level for the series. A real disaster for a well -established saga.
Central mechanics increasingly rejected on civilization 7
The heart of dissatisfaction seems to come from age systema novelty of civilization 7 supposed to modernize the formula. Thought as a solution to reduce microgestion at the end of the game, this mechanics partially reset the state of the game with each passage from one era to another. In theory, this would allow players to change their strategy during the game, without being locked up with a single goal.
But in practice, many people find this frustrating system on Civilization 7. Many consider that it distorts civilization experience by breaking the continuity of the development of their empire. Some go so far as to say that they no longer want to play beyond the first age, as the progression seems artificial or repetitive to them. Obviously, this is not the majority, but it remains very problematic for the strategy game. Firaxis will have to react quickly.
Numerous, but ineffective patches?
Since its launch, Civilization 7 has received several important fixes. Reworked interface, balance of leaders, new options for multiplayer … Developers do not spare their efforts. But these improvements were obviously not enough to bring the game to steam back on Steam. On Last 30 daysonly 38 % of user assessments are positive, switching to the game in the “rather negative” category. A critical threshold for such a respected series.
Even if the overall CIV 7 note remains “average”, the trend is clearly unfavorable. In parallel, other 4xs like Stellaris or Ara: History Untold attract part of the community. Civilization 7 thus becomes the The least well rated firaxis title on Steamif we exclude DLCS. And that still hurts my heart.
