Sid Meier's Civilization VII launched to a wave of criticism, with many players feeling it's unfinished and more akin to a beta test than a completed game. The premium edition's $100 price tag exacerbates this frustration, fueling significant player discontent.
Complaints go beyond simple technical glitches; gameplay mechanics, design choices, and unpolished features are all targets of criticism. The admission from developers that certain aspects were still works in progress only intensified the negative reaction.
One particularly glaring example is the advertised "unique" British unit, which turned out to be a generic model identical to standard units. While developers promised a redesign in an upcoming update, this explanation failed to appease the community.

This incident highlighted broader concerns about the game's rushed release. Potential buyers are delaying purchases, seeing the current state as confirmation of their wait-and-see approach.
Steam reviews currently reflect a "mixed" reception, separating those who appreciate the core concept from those disappointed by its execution. While patches are addressing bugs and performance issues, the update pace hasn't quelled player anger.
The $100 price point amplifies the frustration. Players feel paying this much for a game riddled with problems is unacceptable, especially when it feels like an early access title. This has sparked wider discussions about the potential for rushed releases prioritizing speed over quality.
The development team has pledged to address the most pressing issues through future patches, improving stability, refining gameplay, and resolving visual inconsistencies like the British unit problem. However, skepticism remains, with many players uncertain if these efforts will restore their faith in Civilization VII.
