Following a less-than-stellar debut, the creators of Civilization 7 have committed to enhancing the game, with a particular focus on improving the user interface and gameplay experience. Firaxis Games has acknowledged the issues raised by the community and is actively working on solutions to address them.
Currently, the game holds a 47% positive rating on Steam. Players have voiced their concerns not about the game's mechanics, but rather about the simplified interface, the absence of certain features, and a lack of content. In response, Firaxis has announced that their top priority will be to enhance the interface. They plan to improve map readability, refine the menus, and make the overall interface more intuitive and user-friendly.
The developers have outlined several additions to be made:
- The ability to create teams in multiplayer mode
- New types of maps to enrich the gaming experience
- Customization options, including the ability to change the names of religions and cities
Firaxis has scheduled the release of Update 1.1.0, which will include balance adjustments and improvements, for March. The full release of Civilization 7 is set for February 11.
Many reviewers have pointed out that the game was released prematurely and requires significant further development. The $70 price tag has come under scrutiny, with players feeling that it does not match the current quality of the product. Fans of the series are hopeful that the developers will take their feedback seriously and release updates to rectify the game's shortcomings.
Supporters of the Civilization franchise are eager for the seventh installment to uphold the series' renowned standards of excellence and meticulous detail. However, they believe that the game, in its current state, falls short of these expectations.
