The graphics are stunning: cities now have distinct urban and rural centers, making them feel alive and evolving. Watching my capital grow from a village to a bustling metropolis is incredible. Diplomacy is finally meaningful. Leaders remember past actions, form real alliances, and hold grudges. Deals feel personal. The Legacy Path system adds depth, forcing long-term strategic choices in military, science, culture, or economy. It keeps each game engaging.

The religion system feels dull, lacking real impact. The new leader-civilization system is interesting but feels off—there are only four civilizations in Antiquity, which limits variety early on. Artifact hunting at the start feels redundant, and AI players still make questionable decisions, like declaring war with no army or randomly starting wars and then gifting you their cities.

I like it: it’s a new Civ, and like Civ 6, it will evolve and improve over time with updates and optimizations.

Very relaxing and cute game. I would recommend this to everyone who likes to just sit and build. <3

I'm gonestly kinda confused.

The game is great by itself. HOWEVER: In comparison with the first part of this series, it lacks so many fundamental elements. Why do I have to buy a 20€ DLC for example to get my old favorite wooden coaster? Why was it part of the base game in PC1? Weird. I don't want to spend 20€ extra on things I already had in PC1.

Also, the workshop is slow. And by slow, I mean very slow. I have to wait 5-10mins until I get it loaded.

Played through my first city after around 4hrs. It's an early access, tho. Hopefully the devs don't abandon the game. Despite this, the game is pretty nice and somewhat different to other city-building games.

The game has severe bugs; including the "rent is too high" crisis I had to deal with, except they all don't need to pay anything.

School systems don't work. I have so much empty schools near popular districts but they all decide to not get educated.

You build accidentally an extra module on your plopable building like your cementary or clinic? Have fun bulldozing the whole building because you can't get rid off the one module you want to delete.

I get graphic bugs when zooming in and out.

Have no crops export? Built many ones but game says I still have no crops despite the whole map being farmland.

Can't build a stunning bridge but the water way under that prehibit be to build it normally - it's like 90 degrees down at the cliff. Try to use "Move It"-mod to relocate the weird bridge? Doesn't work. Try to make the railway look cooler? Doesn't work.

After installing mods, game crashes every other 15min. Why even remove access to steam workshop if it worked so well?

TLDR: Don't buy the game. Get the first one and play it bugless and with mods, which are actually working.

So, it's been a week since the full release. I've been playing it since then and I gotta say - if you wanna play it, buy it on PC.

Console seems too buggy to play. People complain about sound bugs, falling out of the map, inventories being completely deleted, and so on. I haven't encountered any huge bugs yet. The biggest bug was being stuck in the underwater world and not being able to click on the "I'm stuck." button. Sometimes sounds won't be played when I click on things, etc.

What I like about the game is that it's very like Stardew but bigger and more and in 3D. The city, the people, the caves, the world - everything seems to be big and adventurous.

I'm in the winter of the first year, but there are things I disklike, like the redundancy of the dialoges.

Super relaxing, playing whilst you just want to chill, game!

I really really love this game and it's concept. I love how stuff we already had in level one, is being used in level five but looks broken or has cracks/ cuts in it. It's those details I love in games.

However, talking about level five. The game does not have that much of content and is rushable in a few hours. I thought there would be some more stuff to unpack but I guess their box ain't that big because I was done in two hours, sadly.

I mean, I played Source for over 1k hours.

Many servers died out when GO came out, and it's just sad that those times will never return, especially surf, minigame or only deagle servers, who I loved playing. However, GO isn't bad, it's just not like Source with its good old times.

Love it.

I played the first game and Rebirth seems like a new, better developed game.

If you like the first game, you'll love this.
