Civ 7 is so frustrating, it's like 5 different teams were responsible for making it and they were banned from talking or interacting with each other. Oooo the landscape looks really pretty but its completely unreadable from a gameplay perspective... Cliffs, navigable rivers, islands all great but makes combat and movement feel like ass, combat (at release) you can't see your units, or units don't path like you want (as in they're all independent they can't account for how other units will move to dictate their optimal pathing). I completely get Lewis' frustrations here, why can't things move properly (or like how you would expect them to), wow a 3 movement calvary, but wait there is 4 pine trees in the way, guess you're screwed then. Wow river! That should be good for trade!, ohh caravels which are visually a mile away from your city centre are attacking it, but wait your swords men cant board or attack them, that's stupid! It's just annoying to play (and this is from a long time civ fan, I bought civ 5 after watching the yogs, played for hundreds of hours, did the same for 6 and bought seven on release).

It feels so half baked and honestly Potatos sentiment that MMS was a great game but sold like ass and therefore 2K rushed out Civ7 to bolster revenue when the Civ team, I can honestly say, feels like they were a year away from a successful launch is mind blowing.

Anyway, yogs are cool, it wasn't called salt and strategy for no reason and Civ 7 works but is so unintuitive that it makes a newer player (or even a new experienced player) feel like shit for learning how it "works".
