Just One More Turn....
Razzek | June 16, 2013 | See all Razzek's reviews »I have found myself saying this so many times while playing this game. So much so that i glanced at the clock and suddenly it is 6 am. I have to say this is one of the most addictive games i have ever played. Also there is nothing more fun then ending up in a 10 hour game with your friends and only just entering the Medieval Era haha. Simply put well done Sid. Well done.

A Great Game
psbj129 | June 16, 2013 | See all psbj129's reviews »A great strategy game, with a very easy to use interface and multiple ways to win. The variety of civilizations offer different advantages. The AI could be stronger as it makes some silly mistakes. Though turn based strategy may not be for everyone you should try it out as it is a great game.

A civilisation game
albero78 | June 14, 2013 | See all albero78's reviews »I bought this game not being a civilization fan. I bought this game because ages ago I had fun with the first chapter of civilization and especially colonization and also master of magic. I found civilization V on sale and I bought because I was looking forward a game that would have given me the feelings of the old times with some innovations and much better graphics. To a certain extent I found this in Civ V: even if you are no expert in these games you can have fun especially in the beginning of the game when you have few cities and few units. The game is not very innovative and that surprises after such a long time. It is pretty clear that the developers tried to simplify the gameplay to get more players playing the game and that is not automatically a con. The graphics are simple and nice. The sound is OK. I give this game a 69/100.

One More Turn
Pr1mus | June 12, 2013 | See all Pr1mus's reviews »Easily one of the most addictive franchise of all time, Civilization is more accessible than ever. Civilization V is streamlined in all the right way to make it simpler and more convenient without taking away the complexity where it really matters. This game is a thing of beauty.
The only real and significant shortcoming is an AI that is utterly incapable of actually playing the game. But in a way this is a problem that has always plagued the series and is nothing that increasing the difficulty level can't fix, even if it does so by resorting to bonuses and handicaps.
Civilization V is easily the most approachable entry in the franchise, the most appealing visually and is infinitely moddable using the Steam Workshop.
