Civilization VI: Rise and Fall

Paul Bellow · Feb 7, 2018

It took Civilization V two full expansions to become the classic it’s regarded as today. Civilization VI is halfway there.

While my 2016 review of Civ VI was glowing, it did come with the historical reservation that Civilization games are so big, and their design process so ever-evolving, that they’re rarely a masterpiece from the get-go. So while Civ VI should be lauded for some of its positive steps, like the intricate district system and more flexible policies design, it also shipped with (relative to the series) poor diplomacy and some terrible AI.

Rise & Fall addresses some of these issues. But for the most part, the things it introduces aren’t interested in fixes; they’re instead looking at shaping your experience into something more intimate than you may be used to with a Civilization game.

There’s lots of new stuff on offer in this expansion, from UI tweaks to new factions, but I’m not here to rattle off bullet points. I’m instead going to be talking about R&F’s three main additions, and how they all work together to change the way each game of Civ VI feels.
