Digital Spy writes: "The arrival of a new entry in the Civilization franchise has always been cause for celebration as far as turn-based strategists are concerned. The long-running series has continually provided one of the most in-depth experiences the genre has to offer, and from what we saw of Civ V at gamescom, the latest edition will be no exception. During the Cologne expo, developer Firaxis Games showcased the game's revamped combat mode, its city-states feature and the new currency system."
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

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.
