It’s famously addictive, as well, with a turn-based format that makes it oh-so-easy to just click that button and see what happens on the next turn. You then expand your civilization and research new technology until you’re all the way up to the modern age, crushing your opponents as the ages go on. For the uninitated, it’s essentially a history simulater: you choose a people (Romans, US, British, Chinese, etc.) and then begin in paleolithic times with a lone settler capable of founding a city. You can easily lose weeks and months of your life inside of Civilization 6, even if series fans don’t like it quite as much as past iterations.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is no special case. It’s another big one, in many different ways. Sid Meier has been making development games for seemingly forever, utilizing a proven recipe while adding advancements to each new manifestation. You stand to lose nothing by just heading over and clicking the box, so I’d highly recommend that you go do it, even if you don’t plan on playing right now. That’s thousands of hours of free entertainment, depending on how you choose to slice it. Since previous leaks have turned out to be true, we can take a pretty good guess at what’s coming next: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Ark: Survival Evolved. Just head on over to the store, where you’ll see the current free game featured front-and-center.
To download, all you need is the Epic Games Launcher, which you might have from playing Fortnite anyways.
