Journalists shared their impressions of Civilization 7 in final previews

Author : Penelope Feb 25,2025

Civilization VII previews are generating considerable buzz! While Firaxis's significant gameplay deviations from previous installments initially drew some criticism, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Key highlights include:

Dynamic Era Focus: Each new era presents opportunities to prioritize different aspects of civilization development, while still retaining the benefits of past achievements.
Personalized Leader Bonuses: A new system rewards frequently used leaders with unique bonuses, adding a layer of personalized strategy.
Era-Specific Gameplay: The multiple eras (antiquity, modernity, etc.) allow for distinct, self-contained gameplay experiences within each historical period.
Adaptive Crisis Management: The game's flexibility allows players to effectively navigate challenges. One reviewer's experience demonstrated the ability to recover from neglecting military advancements by strategically reallocating resources.

Civilization VII launches February 11th for PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and is Steam Deck verified.
