Somehow, I finished my first session. IMHO, 10 hours for a first game is too long, but that’s not the real issue. The game just ends with a satellite, nuclear bomb, or some late-age event. Where’s the modern era?

No one more turn, nothing. Feels... incomplete.

I have mixed feelings about Civ 7. It’s that same uneasy feeling I had when I launched HoMM 7 for the first (and last) time. But, I really hope this isn’t the same case.

Fingers crossed for a worthy successor! 🤞🎮

What's your take?
