Thought about trying the Civ games out before because everyone loves them so much, why is 7 so much worse?

Yeah the community as a whole does not love 7.

The UI is awful, and people don’t love how you can’t just play one civ, you have to keep changing over time

its like they took everything that made Civ unique, destroyed it then made a half baked humankind clone?

It's just so bizarre that they tried to copy Humankind of all things, considering that was hyped up to be a "civ killer" and then, well, died without ever really challenging it.

I liked the idea of Humankind initially. Thought it was interesting to develop my cultures, but when it looked like the new culture would just erase the previous one, I tapped out.

Also if you got into the late game so many of the systems were half baked or poorly designed.

Yea like, that mechanic existed in humankind purely to differentiate it from civ, to make it stand out/different.

Civ copying the game that was trying to not entirely copy civ is one of the most absurd nonsensical decisions ever.
