in the past


With the amount of hours I have spent in this game, it would feel wrong to rate it anything less than 5 stars. For many, myself included, this is the ultimate civilization experience.

El único videojuego que le he dedicado más de 24 horas de juego continuas. Es un peligro lo de 1 turno más. De todos los CIV creo que este es el más balanceado, divertido de crear tu imperio, expandir, avanzar en tecnología y cultura sin que todo se vuelva súper complicado.

only civ game I've played but everyone who's played more tells me this is the best. fun with friends but also the turns are sooo long

[This is being written with all the expansions/DLC included in mind]

Civilization V is probably the greatest strategy game I've ever played with how utterly addicting it is. There's a "Time Played" section down there, and yeah, I see it. But I'm not going to fill it in, because it's a bit embarrassing. I played this game so much in the past because I fell into that "one more turn" syndrome. Civlization V's systems have a learning curve, but I wouldn't say it's a steep one - but it's not easy to get a hang of either, I'll admit. But once you do get a hang of Civ V, you can get enraptured by it. There's a simplistic joy in it. The systems are just the right amount of engaging without being too overly in-depth like some other games in the series (cough, Civ VI, cough).

Civ V also has a plethora of mods on the Steam workshop. A thriving modding community has extending Civilization V's lifespan so much that various mods are even considered sub-sections/total conversions of the game itself. The No Quitter's mod, Anno Domini, Gaia's mod pack, JFD's mechanic mods, etc. Leaders and Civilizations missing from the game probably have a mod available out there by now! CPU vs CPU games are quite popular as well, and I probably inflated my hours with them.

I just can't gush enough about how good Civ V is. Sometimes less is more when it comes to game mechanics, and Civ is a staple of that in the strategy genre.

Score: 97

Awesome TBS game, one of the best CIV games!


Super fun really easy to sink a ton of hours into

I love this game so much, just building a nice civ and then nuking innocents and sending giant death robots after them and crushing there cities until its just ashes. What a sweet time.

This game gave me a heroin overdose

Loved it, can't recall much more because it has been fused with VI in my memories

a fun and difficult game that i only finished like twice

One time I panicked and nuked the Ottomans, but accidentally hit the rest of Europe in the process. Woopsie-daisy :3

A very solid, if relatively safe, entry in the Civilization series. Probably the easiest to approach as a newcomer, but lacked a lot until both expansions dropped.

Fuck this game it sucks

Your city is starving, and so are you. You haven't eaten in hours, but thats okay. You only need, ONE MORE TURN.

Lo conseguí gratis de casualidad sin conocerlo y me enganchó de tal manera que no pude evitar comprarme todos los DLC.
Es un juegazo realmente enviciante, y con los mods tienes contenido hasta donde quieras.
Si lo tocas, siempre querrás un turno más.

good if you like this type of game, i'm sure there are better options

Loving this game. Never played a Civilization game before and I wish I had; its truly a blast.

Only reason not 5 cuz Anthony win everytime. Assyria for the win.

Brave New World Theme makes me want to start a whole civilization and watch it grow and advance

I'm so bad at these kind of games, so I simple completed one single game lasted 13 hours and I'm happy with that.

Used to not like this near as much as Civ IV, but I will happily admit now that it is a terrific game in its own right that makes the Civ experience more accessible. Unit stacking is gone, city-states make diplomacy as a whole more complex, and the expansions brought back religion and ideologies in interesting ways

men lovee getting u to play this


i used to think this was better than civilization VI, but when i played it recently I realized that... it is not....

Civilization

It's really good, but after playing 6 it's hard to go back.

My favorite Civilization game of all time. This one really shook up the formula and made it fun.
