Amplitude Studios and Microsoft release the so-called Civ killer tomorrow. It’s coming to PC, and it’ll be available on Xbox Game Pass on Day One – but is the massive and ambitious title actually worth your time? Apparently, it will be. The game – which is finally here after a healthy number of delays – seems to be impressing critics around the world, and it’s currently sitting at an impressive 80 on OpenCritic. Though some outlets say it’s a creative and interesting take on the genre, others say it doesn’t quite match the lofty heights of Amplitude’s other work. It’s safe, but is it too safe? Check out a trailer for the game below, then wrap your eyes around the collected review scores underneath.
