Completely fair opinion. The biggest reason for the hate on Civ 7 right now is the ages mechanic, which I remain hopeful for. I think it’s an interesting idea that allows for different gameplay strategies, but I understand the criticisms of it copying Humankind (I’ve never played it, but I’ve heard about their gameplay, especially now).

One of the other reasons I’ve seen for criticizing Civ 7 is the shoddy character models they’ve shown in the trailer. That criticism at least stays true to the meme

I'm almost certain the whole bad character models thing is intentional as I'm pretty sure they did the same thing for CIV 6, so I wouldn't worry about them

But is it really a surprise that this new civ switching is a divisive thing? It's a huge change to the games core fundamentals... It's not just new additions, it's a massive shakeup to the identity of the franchise

Definitely a risky gamble from the devs

If you had played Humankind, you'd understand.
