Addictive and really fun in multiplayer but unfortunately the overall experience is somewhat shallow, and easy going. The higher difficulty levels are mostly just done by giving the AI massive advantages and making them really aggressive, instead of making the AI actually more intelligent. Thus making the repeatability a bit low.
That being said I have wasted an immense amount of my life on this game.

A perfect entry into strategy games. Not too complex, just deep enough to get you hooked.
Played it with some friends. Many things I wanted to do during those sessions. Every time those sessions ended and I accomplished nothing as I had barbarians crawling up my ass for the first couple hours.
This was my second Civilization game (first being Civ VI with no DLC) and this game just clicked for me.
Just one more turn! this is a fantastic multiplayer experience, 3-4 max.
Wide as a sea, shallow as a puddle, or whatever the saying is. Decent fun, especially if you like playing 4X's with friends, but if you want a particularly deep experience—economic management, tactical warfare, complicated diplomacy—there are other games that'll scratch your itch. Don't drink water when you really want beer.
É, de longe, o melhor jogo de estratégia e história que eu já joguei. Gastei cerca de 150 horas nesse jogo, sendo que não é exatamente do estilo que eu gosto, justamente por ele ser simples de entender, mas complicado de jogar 100%. eu amei a curva de aprendizagem, ideias gerais de progressão e método de turno, além de não ser apenas um jogo de dominação, podendo haver outras maneiras de vencer, o que o torna mais único
Esse jogo foi responsavel de me tirar MUITAS horas em uma mesma partida, mas diferente de outros jogos cada minuto compensa, porque tive que pensar muito pra cada movimento, e embora a vontade de jogar ele seja de tempos em tempos, eu assumo que é basicamente uma versão digital do que seriam os jogos de tabuleiro.
fun with friends, fun alone up to emperor difficulty, is a time sink tho
Note: USED COMMUNITY PATCH to play.
Hell of a game, very fun to play with the patch. I'd tried prior to the patch however it didn't have the same spark as Civ 4 did. This patch fixed everything. As an Ethiopian General, I played on the World Map (realistic) and started of in Eastern Russia, slowly expanding into Malaysia and Japan, taking over Oceania. After which thanks to an American ally, we invaded the Mongolians and took over cities. This provided the seed for me to conquest the entire map, by which time there were 4 super powers, Netherlands, USA, England and Me (Ethiopia). I shifted to becoming a military nation, and split the netherlands from USA, by invading unoccupied land. Using this I moved my troops to take over the Netherlands which was a nation based in Africa. After taking over the African continent, I invaded the USA which despite pleading for a peace treaty I ignored. Eventually after taking over the entire of Asia and Europe, I went to battle the Americas and the combat became very easy with more than 45 cities under my belt. My only gripe with combat is the hexagonal tiles are not conducive to combat or units, and you cannot stack units which means despite having an army of 20+, each fight is a chore. This game is a time sink- this single Ethiopian campaign took 3 days to complete.

Civ V is the definite Civ game for me. It was actually one of the first games I've ever played on PC as it came free with the laptop I bought, the greatest gift of mankind. Ultimately, I've shelved the Civ series for paradox and 4X games in general, but it holds a special place in my heart.
good, too much to read
I always think love playing this game so much, and then I need to go to war, and I am like, wow, I do not like this game actually
