Unlike its predecessor (Civ V), where I swear I started every single game the exact same way, Civ VI adds a whole bunch of depth and replayability with its districts, world-altering natural disasters, and diverse cast of characters that make every single game feel like a new and fresh attempt at building a civilization that will last throughout the ages.
Audio

6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack swells, your cities glow, and you feel like an omnipotent genius — even if your entire empire is starving because you forgot farms exist.
