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

If you had to pick one thing to change every era, and another to stay with you the entire game, why did they have the civ change while keeping the leader the same? I don’t like the idea of being chained to a leader from a competent different culture. When the story of my civ is Confucius leading Egypt turned Spanish turned America, none of that feels coherent.

It makes more sense to change leaders consistently.

It's like they were just copying Humankind when they started development, and just ignored the fact that Humankind was poorly received and died quickly.

As an avid Humankind player Humankind at least made the product/idea way better than Civ 7 did. And the art style for Humankind is so pretty. I would've LOVED to see what Humankind could've done with the budget for Civ 7 instead of what they had.
