The most timeless game ever. Even after logging somewhere in the realm of 1000+ hours on this game I still come back to it, because it never seems to get old.
I do think that you need all the expansions to play this game. Without Gods and Kings/Brave New World, base Civ V kinda blows. However, with all of them, I think it's the most perfect stratgey game of all time, and beyond that, one of the greatest games ever made.
And goddamn, that soundtrack. It doesn't quite hit the heights Civ IV brought with things like Baba Yetu, but it's still got some downright gorgeous themes for each Civ, and it's intro is just so beautiful as well.
