Civ VI Huge 95% off steam deal

Civ VI is pretty cheap right now, grabbing it at the moment for 3€, but that might change from region to region.

The dlcs packs are pretty cheap too.

Was free on Epic awhile back, check to make sure you didn't get it there already

Sadly that version doesn’t work well on steamdeck.

I think there are work around to get it working, but with my regional pricing it was just like $2, so I just grabbed it.

I heard a lot of heavy Civ IV and V players criticize VI as being worse than those two (especially with mods), what is the general opinion on this?

5 is simpler, but still with a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. 6 just added more systems without much rhyme or reason. That's what I felt anyway, I also massively preferred 5's art style.

That's probably the best way to put it without writing an essay. 5 is intentional with mechanics, new ones become available as older ones become automated or less relevant. 6 is just a constant barrage of things happening, especially with gathering storm.
