Other than the Steam issue, a dynamic game

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

I purchased the DVD for the PC because I hate Steam's slow, buggy, virus-bringing, constant-update-requiring system.

Turns out I was wrong. You still need a fast (very fast) utterly reliable Net connection, the patience to wait until Steam is available (its certainly not 24/7), more patience while you inevitable are required to download Steam updates, spybots, trackers, and ads, in order to play your game until Steam drops off line or your Net connection flickers for a milli-second. Then you're back to the patience issue.

I've played and enjoyed every version of Civ to date, and I would probably enjoy this one if the game was available. As it is, this is just an opportunity for Steam to dump trackers into your system.

UPDATE: I have managed to play 40 hours of the game off-line. As CIV games go it is a huge improvement; combat is now more than just 'the biggest stack wins'. Cities can defend themselves (some), and the management system is much better. Only one combat unit per hex really alters the game.

The downside is that even with all the updates and patches it is buggy. You have to save, exit, and load the game every twenty turns or so to prevent buttons from stopping working, and even at the best of times the 'open city interface' and similar housekeeping features appear only on the second try. Leonard Nemoy did not do the voice acting which was a massive let down.

The upside is that it is much better than earlier versions while still remaining true to the 'Civ' concept. A huge improvement is that only one combat unit make be in a square or city; gone are the days when a twenty-unit stack would simply juggernaut across all foes. Now force composition, maneuver, and planning come into play.

The buildings are better explained and more dynamic.

In all a great game which would be much better if Steam was not involved.

Better than previous versions

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

Before playing this version I had always held Civ II to be the best version. It was challenging and engaging. Civ V was all of that plus the economic side of things is far more detailed. I like it that you cannot stack up units one on top of another. The game play is more realistic from that stand point. I also like how there are limited quantities of natural resources. You cannot simply build 50 tank units, you have to have enough steel and oil to do so. You cannot simply build a nuclear missile, you have to have uranium to do so. In order to obtain resources you have to trade and cajole other players or city states into providing it.

Usually game companies offer a new an improved game which is basically an easier version but with better graphics than the previous. This is not true for Civ V, its better in almost every way.

Decent game, slightly overpriced

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2011

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

I bought Sid Meier's Civilization V a couple months ago. It's fun; there's no doubt about that. I got it on sale, paid about $30. In my opinion it was worth that, but not the $50 it normally retailed for. The graphics are excellent, and if you're looking for something very similar to the earlier Civilization games but with killer graphics, then maybe it is worth $50 for you. Gameplay is more realistic than the earlier versions (I last played Civ II) so that's a plus, though naturally that makes the game slightly more complex. My disappointment stems from the fact that it was still so very similar to the earliest versions of the game. I guess all the hype I've seen over the years had me expecting more. However, I haven't even remotely played it out yet, so there are hours and hours of enjoyment left. Maybe that's worth the price.

Bottom line? If you can get the game on sale, grab it; it's worth it.

Civilization V

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2013

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

I had IV for a while and find it addictive. After getting used to the differences I'm really liking the new version. The game can get repetitive after a while, but you put it a away and find you come back to it over and over. The major problem is its now aligned with Steam, so after you install from the DVD you have to download the whole thing again. For a time I was concerned that Steam was going to ask me to pay them for it since the process of un-locking with the code provided is not clear. You might as well just buy from Steam direct. Another issue it that Steam doesn't give you an option to wait to install updates so often I have to wait hours for these to download and install. I want the option to wait until convenient to do this.

great game at a great price

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

i have been a civ fan for many many years from civ 3 to civ 5 and have recently bought civ 5 goty.
i love the new improvements and new hex tiles which have made the game a lot more realistic and require more strategy.
i run this game on my laptop which is speced much lower than the requirements and it runs perfectly without sacrificing quality.
my item got here faster than expected and is in perfect quality i would buy it again and intend on buying the expansions gods and kings and brave new world if you have been hesitating because bad reviews just give it a try and see for yourself the great game this truly is and this is coming from a guy who played and loved civ 4 1900 hours and counting

stop picking on steam

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2015

Platform: PCVerified Purchase

To start, I have played this game for hours on end sense it arrived. although this is my first civ game it is incredible. everyone is complaining about steam being used. honestly I find it to be a plus I like being able to collect achievements not only does steam give you access to achievement collection. you can also have steam backup your save files; so that when your hard drive inevitably fails you wont lose all progress. when civilization arrived it came in a British case style( seller specific) although this is only superficial for the actual game works exactly as expected. this is the first game I have found which allows the player to navigate politics with AI leaders and a combination of strategic air, land, and sea conflicts. finally, sense I got it I have played around 60 hours but there is so much variety when starting new game's that it should last for at least 120 hours.
