Civilization VI is simply a better game. I bought both Civ 6 and 7 when they came out. This means that this is when they were new and did not have dlcs or many patches. The difference between the two cannot be clearer. Civilization VI had its detractors in the beginning, mostly in the area of it being cartoony and too impressionistic in its art style.
However, the game came out in October 2016 complete and many new features and refinements of what came before. The game was modernizing the micro which many old players enjoyed. Unlike in Civilization VII, there is a degree of control with how one runs their civilization. There is no plopping of improvements on the map, you have make to the choices for yourself and see how they affect your civilization in the game.
This is what is sorely lacking in Civilization VII. It is that choice and control which I enjoy.
It is not simply that control however, it’s the feedback one gets one playing in the game world of Civilization VII. It feels like a flat and uninteresting game. It just seems that the team that was working on it have no passion for it.
Civilization VI is clearly the one you should playing now.
