How is Firaxis of all companies the one that learned the right lesson from the Switch era?

Civ7 is confirmed on the current gen Switch, right? This is really interesting. I think I have the PC Civ6 on Steam but I’ve actually been wanting to try it on my Switch instead. A couple of times it has been really cut down in price, and I passed on it. I might still have to get it (since I’ve played Civ but fairly minimally, and it’s been ages, and I probably don’t need the new one). I guess on the same token though, I also really don’t need all the DLC’s and I’m going to be overwhelmed with it and I do have Civ6 on Steam anyway, so maybe I should jump in with 7. 7 has a physical release, right?

It always baffles me how games like Battle chasers has super long load times on the switch where other games do not have these at all.

Personally, I want to see Sid Meier’s Pirates 2, though more Switch games are always good

If they could make it run well on the Switch, I would buy it immediately. Civ is such a good game to play on the go. The game is so limited on the Switch’s hardware though, makes it tough to play when you’re used to the performance on PC.

Thank goodness. Sid Meier himself proved the Civ series could be on handheld with Civilization Revolution. And with Civ6 it just cemented things.

1) this is awesome – put an insane amount of hours into this game (on switch only) and hearing the team is taking this type of approach comes by no surprise – can’t wait for Civ 7
2) never played Xcom is it worth a buy or does it pale in comparison to Civ?

I was shocked how good CIV 6 was on Switch, I must’ve spent months working on my little empires

that’s not good. when studios change development to cater to a console it NEVER results in a better game
