Following a disappointing debut, the developers of Civilization 7 have committed to enhancing the game. Firaxis Games has pinpointed issues related to the user interface and gameplay, and are actively working on solutions to address these concerns.
Currently, the game holds a 47% positive rating on Steam. Feedback from buyers primarily focuses on the simplified interface, missing features, and a lack of content rather than the game's mechanics. In response, Firaxis has prioritized interface enhancements, promising to improve map readability, refine menus, and make the overall interface more user-friendly.
To enrich the gaming experience, the developers plan to introduce the following updates:
- The ability to create teams in multiplayer mode.
- New types of maps to explore.
- Enhanced customization options, including the ability to rename religions and cities.
Update 1.1.0, which will include balance adjustments and improvements, is scheduled for release in March. The full launch of Civilization 7 is set for February 11.
Many reviewers have noted that the game was released prematurely and requires substantial improvements. The $70 price point has been a point of contention, with players feeling it does not align with the current state of the game. Fans of the series are hopeful that Firaxis will take their feedback seriously and release updates that rectify the issues, restoring the game to the high standards expected of the Civilization franchise.
Supporters of the Civilization series are eager for Civilization 7 to uphold the series' legacy of excellence and meticulous detail. However, they believe significant improvements are necessary to achieve this.
