I found a few occasions when I felt lost in menus, but nothing I couldn’t figure out for myself.īut while I do recommend this marvelous game, I also think the price tag is too high.

I use a simple matrix of left thumbstick and main buttons for most unit movements, as well as shoulder buttons for deeper menus. This serves as a slower navigational route than using a mouse or trackpad to point and click, but it works well enough. I cross the screen by skidding along its hexagons, moving quickly and smoothly from one continent to the other via my gamepad. It’s not a natural fit for a console-style controller.Īspyr makes it feel easy to navigate the screen, move units around, and deploy orders to cities. I played the Xbox One version, and came away impressed with the job done by porting house Aspyr, which worked with original developer Firaxis.Ĭiv 6 is a complicated, turn-based strategy game, and players have to be able to click with precision, move through pages of data, and take in a large amount of information while playing. First, the good news: Civilization 6 works great on consoles.
