Civilization fanatics were not amused and after that misstep Firaxis has now returned to the roots with the next chapter on the PC. I'm happy to report that Civilization V, under all that fancy UI chrome and DX11 graphics, is still uniquely a PC game and still Civilization - not a consolized Civ-lite."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

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.
