Civ 6 receives ALOT of flack for whatever reason; the bugs, the leader DLC, hating the art style or being a noob.

But IMO its a great addition to the franchise. "Unstacking the cities" makes city placement more diverse and dynamic. The different leaders introduce new play styles and challenges. Mods are better suppoprted with integration meant from engine. So there's definately some great improvements to this rendition of Civ.

That being said it isn't without its quirks, bugs and issues. Finding a game that will last longer than 20 mins when people decide they hate their start is difficult and really should be addressed. I reccommend joining CPL if you're serious about playing Civ because people are less likely to leave a CPL game. Games can sometimes lose connection for no reason, personally I'd like to see the possibility for dedicated servers and good old pit boss (who knows it may come) for better flexibility when it comes to playing.

But the important thing is that the developer is continuing to improve the game! As with EVERY Civ game there were issues at launch. And there still maybe, but they're getting worked on and Mods provide great relief in the meantime.
