Following a less-than-stellar launch, the developers of Civilization 7 have committed to enhancing the game, focusing on improving the user interface and gameplay. Firaxis Games has pinpointed the issues and is diligently working on solutions to address them.
Currently, the game holds a 47% positive rating on Steam. Players have voiced their concerns, not about the game's mechanics, but rather about the simplified interface, missing features, and a lack of content. In response, Firaxis has announced that their top priority will be to enhance the interface. They plan to improve map readability, refine the menus, and make the overall interface more user-friendly.
**The developers are set to introduce the following enhancements:**
- The ability to create teams in multiplayer mode.
- New types of maps to explore.
- Customization options, including the ability to change the names of religions and cities.
Update 1.1.0, which will include balance adjustments and improvements, is scheduled for release in March. The full launch of Civilization 7 is slated for February 11.
Many reviewers have noted that the game was released prematurely and requires significant further development. The $70 price point has come under particular scrutiny, as players feel it does not match the current quality of the product. Fans of the series are hopeful that the developers will take their feedback seriously and release updates that rectify these issues, restoring the game to the high standards expected of the Civilization franchise.
Enthusiasts of the Civilization series are eager for Civilization 7 to uphold the series' tradition of excellence and meticulous detail. However, they believe this can only be achieved with the promised improvements.
