Civilization VII's rocky launch prompts developer response. Firaxis Games acknowledges player concerns regarding Civilization VII's less-than-stellar reception, currently boasting a 47% positive rating on Steam. Criticism centers not on core gameplay mechanics, but on a simplified and less intuitive interface, missing features, and a perceived lack of content.
In direct response to this feedback, Firaxis has prioritized interface improvements. Their roadmap includes enhancing map readability, streamlining menus, and generally improving user-friendliness.
Planned additions include:
- Multiplayer team functionality.
- New map types.
- Customization options (renaming religions and cities).
A significant update (1.1.0) is scheduled for March, focusing on balance adjustments and further refinements. The full game release is set for February 11th.
Many reviewers cite a premature release, highlighting the need for substantial improvements. The game's $70 price point has also faced heavy criticism, deemed disproportionate to its current state. The Civilization community hopes Firaxis will actively incorporate player feedback to deliver updates that restore the series' renowned quality and attention to detail. The expectation is for a polished experience, significantly improved from its current form.
