Amazing game to compare serious political issue to on Reddit
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.
I out about 23 hours into this one. Or, about 1 game.
The king of strategy games, and for good reason. It could be better about teaching concepts to new players, though.
I'd go down on Catherine the Great ngl.
I FUCKING LOVE COMITTING WAR CRIMES AND ACTS OF AGRESSION
I'm terrified of this game. I've only played it 3 times and I have 33 hours on Steam. That's 11 HOURS PER SESSION on average. It's an actual blackhole to your free time. Digital hypnosis. The second you figure out how the game works, your brain loses agency. Like I'm a 4-year-old kid watching Cocomelon. I don't want to touch Civ again because I'm too afraid. Like the game is some kind of cosmic horror beyond human comprehension.
Civilization V is more than just a strategy game, it is a display of hope to humanity's potential on achieving greatness by celebrating its monumental accomplishments through eons, and reminding us of the darkness of war, all while giving you the freedom to run your legacy in any way you desire, be it through tyranny or care.
It is as entertaining as it is educational and inspiring, I guarantee you will not put it down for several hours.

I'm not entirely sure why I bought this game in the first place; strategy games are hit-and-miss with me to begin with, and Civ never really stuck me with its claws the way it did many, many others. Great music, though.

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

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.
Bak bu oyun Hoi 4'ten daha basit ve oynanabilirliği yüksek. Ama ben genel olarak real time strategy sevmiyorum. Bu tek sevdiğim.
Great game for everyone who loves world domination!
this is actually how history happened
Dad's favourite game. Can't bring myself to go back to it, knowing his save files are on my Steam account. Miss you, old man - wish you were here to do the exact same thing you always did and refuse to turn the actual game off because "if I close the laptop lid it turns off anyway".
Only reason not 5 cuz Anthony win everytime. Assyria for the win.
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
Civilization V is a game I hope to revisit someday. I played it back in 2015 and found it enjoyable to some extent. One aspect of the game I distinctly remember disliking was the tendency for other nations to turn against us as our nation grew larger, even those we were friendly with. I believe this is an area that could be improved in the game. It doesn't make sense for players to be forced into remaining a small nation just to keep others happy. While it's understandable that some nations might be unhappy with our rise, having everyone turn against us takes away from the overall enjoyment. This was a significant issue for me back then, and I truly wish that the game could be enhanced in this regard.
Played this with a few friends one night and got my ass handed to me so bad I uninstalled the game and hid it from my Steam library.
Impose whatever personality you like onto famous leaders of the old world.
no strategy game could ever achieve what this game did
We always boot this game up every few months, play for an evening, have a lot of fun, save the game, and then make a new campaign a few months later.
This game gave me a heroin overdose
Your city is starving, and so are you. You haven't eaten in hours, but thats okay. You only need, ONE MORE TURN.
Fuck this game it sucks

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.
