Civilization VI is easily one of the best strategy titles on PS4.Īs I was served an unhealthy meal of Gunfire Anglais, I reached out to my well-toned comrade for assistance. It was all going so well until his Macedon nation overtook my healthy French one and the technologically superior English declared war on me (something I’m 80% sure wasn’t my fault).
