Rage culture in gaming is such an obnoxious problem. So many people on the subreddit rag on the game and haven’t even played it.
The firaxis team took a big swing, whether or not they missed is subjective. Vote with your wallet, all the previous iterations of civ are still there to be happily played.
I think the game is not as good as Civ VI but is following the same cycle all civ games have taken since I started playing. It’s not as fleshed out as the previous entry until all the expansions land.
Personally, I will always appreciate game designers attempting to try to do something fresh over playing it safe.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

They did not attempt anything fresh. They just blatantly ripped off the mechanics from one of their competitors.
That’s not the issue with the game, at all.
