Continue Play's Jenna Fraser revisits Firaxis' excellent strategy game "Civ V."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.
Love strategy but your processor and graphics card doesn't love you? The best strategy games for low-end PCs have you covered.
Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
Civilization 5 was a bit weak at launch but with expansions and DLCs it has got much better.
It is nice to see how the release made SteamOS even more stronger. SteamOS has many incredible strategy/manager PC titles already; Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universalis 4, Civilization 4, Civilization 5, Football Manager 2014, OOTP15, etc.
