Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Review: Yes, but do you have a flag?

Back in August, I got the chance to play the first few hours of a game of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII. At the time I said I was tremendously impressed by how the team had worked to construct the freshest Civ sequel yet. Having now completed several full games of it across both PC and Steam Deck, this sentiment remains true, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to be my new go-to entry any time I’m in a Civ mood.
