One of the worst games in Steam history paid off, but Civilization VII developers will still rework the gameplay
Players actively criticized Sid Meier's Civilization VII, but still bought it.
The new installment of the Sid Meier’s Civilization VII franchise was criticized at launch. Players were dissatisfied with the small amount of content, creative decisions, and technical state. The project was actively slammed on Steam, and by user rating, the game was among the worst, but over time the situation improved.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is no longer in the "top 100 worst" anti-rating, and a series of patches have been released for the game that fixed some problems. Reviews are still "mixed," but the rating has grown since release.
Recently, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick gave an interview to Game File, and during the conversation, Civilization VII was discussed. According to the manager, the project has paid off and is already profitable. He noted that the developers strive to "push boundaries" and add something new with each new installment, but in this case, they went too far:
This game is really good. And, of course, it brings us profit. But in this case, I think that — from a consumer's point of view — we overdid it.
A major update, Test of Time Update, is planned for Sid Meier’s Civilization VII in May. The developers will introduce a feature that players have been asking for a very long time — the ability to play from start to finish as one civilization. When playing in this mode, a mechanic will be available that allows you to adopt some unique features of other civilizations.
