It came out on console many years later. Interesting that all versions seem to be coming out on the same day.

While away but really looking forward to it although these games always seem to take a number of DLCs to get the best experience.

It's also coming out into a crowded market. So many games in this genre are releasing. It's niche and typically performs well but you gotta think the market is a little crowded right now.

Its Civilization. Its the market leader. Really could be 100 of these games out there they'll always be pushed to the side when a new Civ arrives.

True! It's my preferred one despite all the others available.

I mean, obviously you could bump down the quality, but who wants to do that? 🙂

That's not that bad, to be honest. Although I'm still on 1080p so there that too.
