Game is full of softlock bugs, do NOT purchase.

This game is one of the most complex games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Makes you think, hard. Quite the intellectual workout. The systems within the game are well-implemented for the most part and there is a lot to consider when building your base.

I do not recommend this game in its current state for a few major reasons, but first I will list the pros of this game (since there are a few):

- Drastically overhauled gameplay from Civ V. Now for some this may not be a pro but for me it definitely is since shaking up the gameplay in a meaningful way is what keeps the franchise fresh, and in Civ VI the new features like district building, the two distinctly different tech trees (science and civics), the revamped and now actually dangerous barbs keep the game feeling radically different from its predecessor. Unfortunately, there's only one large problem in the way that prevents me from giving this game a thumbs up.

- AI: In a word, atrocious. Absolutely terrible even after two major patches. The tactical AI is pitifuly lacking as units are shuffled around endlessly, ranged units are put at the front lines, and naval and air units aren't even utilized whatsoever by AI players. The strategic AI isn't much better either, often asking for precious resources and not wanting to give anything in exchange, or the exact reverse situation happens where the AI will offer everything it's got after you've only razed/captured one of its two cities.

Multiplayer is existent and much more stable than Civ V, but the playerbase is dwindling. So yeah, doesn't look like I will purchasing any more Firaxis games. A lot of people play single player and don't have the time for multiplayer, and I am one of those people. I would like a competent AI that is at the very least as good as Civ V's AI, and right now that is most certainly not the case.
