Several times now, actually, when Ive grown frustrated with some element or other of Civ 7.

Im more frustrated with Civ 7s half-baked disaster system, the bad UI, and lack of customization options.

Theres also a decade less of content than in Civ 6, but then we are just getting started.

The maps are in a sorry state in Civilization 7.

There is still a great community of players who only enjoy Civilization 5.

Its multiplayer scene is still functional, even though multiplayer in that game is notoriously buggy and long-winded.

The game is absolutely hideous.

I cant believe I was happily playing this game just a month ago.

All the textures are fuzzy blobs.

The UI in 6 is so snazzy.

It tells me all the information I need about everything.

What I need to do to improve that tile.

What will happen when I build this building, or that wonder.

It doesnt even do it on a grey background with small, mobile-game-tier icons.

Despite this, I just cant get back into it.
