I can't believe I just bought this now. I have no self control.

How uncivilized of you!

Steam deck installed. Benchmark tests on my device. Graphics on medium settings.

Game opens with colorblind accessibility (I’m guessing for Civ colors). The streams were so hard to work with, i feel so seen!

so, steam reviews are "Mostly Negative" rn, looking through them, while there are some people upset about the leader switching and stuff, almost all of them are all about the same exact thing, the UI.

Instead of making any progress I'm just enjoying the animations and variety on the Scout Dogs.

Hopefully this early release gets all these hot-take dorks who buy the game strictly with the intent to refund out of the way so I can download and play with people who actually care about the game.

All you lucky fellows taunting me with your early access…

You’re making it rather hard to wait until the 11th!

So far, the game is running very well on medium settings. High FPS. Very clean and beautiful game.

Game works fine in Steam Deck so far. My only problem: the UI! The selected option is not very clear and quite glitchy. Sometimes the gold border on the selected option simply disappear and there are variants of shades of gray that you would not understand what that means.

I'm sorry to say this but the bulk of reviewers on Steam are acting like a bunch of babies.

Having a great time but please Firaxis make clicking on city banners select the thing I'm trying to select.

I haven't played it yet, so I can't judge anything, but I don't really agree with that. while there is a good bit of hyperbole, and some reviews that I just dont think should be taken seriously, I do think the ones about UI do have merit, as they are accurately describing their experience with the game.

Yes but they are going far beyond that, akin to "Firaxis shattered my life with this new faux game". That is the type of reviews I'm seeing.

like I said, a LOT of hyperbole. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

By actually playing the game all I can say is that there are so many beautiful little details that never came up in any review/stream from folks with a play to conquer attitude.

I'm enjoying myself, but I feel like I'm getting a concussion banging my head against the UI for virtually every little scrap of information or clarification.
