Civilization 7 Sells Well Despite Mixed Reviews, Will It Improve Over Time?
2025 saw the release of the seventh installment in the acclaimed 4X strategy series titled “Civilization 7” in mid-February. This game received decent reviews compared to the average game launch, but it fell short critically when compared to other games in the franchise and some other Firaxis titles. As of now, it has an average score of 79 and a 77% recommendation rate on OpenCritic. The player reception seems less favorable, as evidenced by its “Mixed” rating on Steam, based on more than 31,000 reviews. Interestingly, it’s the only “Civilization” game without a positive user score on Valve’s storefront to date.
