How Civilization 7 Destroyed 35 Years of 4X Gaming
What happened to the greatest 4X strategy game of all time? From discovering the original Sid Meier's Civilization as a Super Nintendo rental at the local video store, to the dial-up glory days of Civ II, right through to the highly controversial launch of Civilization VII—this is my personal 35-year retrospective on the franchise that invented the "just one more turn" addiction.
We explore how the game evolved through its middle eras, how it captured multiple generations of strategy gamers, and exactly how Firaxis dropped the ball with the forced era-switching mechanics and day-one DLCs in Civ 7.
