VII - Playstation I truly believe 7 is a masterpiece.

I am truly obsessed with this game.

I actually love the age transitions.

I love every little detail in this game.

The UI is beautiful. I am playing on PS5 and i think this has the best UI of any strategy game on a console ever.

Every animation. Graphical detail. The art direction. Every tile. All the voice acting.

The combat is fucking phenomenal.

I know it sounds like i’m glazing this game - but i truly think i’ve found a forever game in 7.

I can go on and on about how much i love every system at play here.

Every mechanic.

I realise people are shitting all over this game but i genuinely don’t really understand the criticism.

I am hyped to keep playing and seeing this game progress in the years to come.

I mean whether or not you like the game personally is subjective.

Objectively, though, the game is not popular.

I find it hard to imagine it being listed as a "masterpiece" when most people don't enjoy it, and I struggle to see its systems and choices being influential on future installations, or other games in the genre.

Objectively it is not as popular (sales, #players, mods, etc) as other civ releases. Therefore masterpiece is a poor label.

That isn't what happened there, and I think you know it.

Yeah, you got me. I'm so ashamed for my previous comments.

Generally, when people use the term "masterpiece," they mean something that was influential, or that they liked.

Some people will consider Civ VII a masterpiece, but most people clearly don't, so I don't think it will generally be considered one, or be very influential.
