Civilization 6 came out last year, with developer Firaxis slowly tweaking and adding content to reach the game's full potential While the title didn't seem to bang as hotly with the community as Civilization 5 did, what's there now is a stellar 4x title It's about to get better, too.

The lead designer of Civilization V joining the developer seemed like a match made in heaven Both at the head of the 4X genre, in theory it could have produced some excellent content.
