you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
I've watched this video a couple of times trying to decide if I should get it or not, 4 days ago I did indeed purchase it, it is absolutely fantastic. This review video is everything anyone watching needs, clear,concise,informative, more importantly a genuinely pleasurable viewing experience!
As a long time fan of the series this was a day one purchase for me. If you're new to the series you should understand that early game can be slow going, you'll feel like you're cranking thru turns without really doing anything. But expansion is half the battle and to me the most fun part of the game. New cities and districts and watching them expand across the map whether by military or diplomatic conquests. This is a great game to have on the switch for a lot of reasons. I love the portability of a PC quality strategy game. Nice review switch watch. I hope they add in more multiplayer options at some point, that might get more players into the game.
As someone who deliberately has planted a city of mine in a heavily mountainous area that was almost nothing but snow beyond once before needtheless to say SwitchWatching is right. A stupid move, but it did keep three opposing Civs from easily routing my military gave me an essential choke point.
Yep i did it a few times and learned a lot from it put it that way! The choke points are good but you lose a lot too so it's one of those where you make a decision based on the map.
Just been doing the tutorial and seems ok so far... Never really got into these games before but I'm defo going to throw myself into it now I decided to try it out... Great review thank you
What did you think of the AI? The only criticism I’ve seen for this game on PC was people complaining about the AI. Granted, this was a while back and it could have gotten better via patches.
Its ok, i still think it needs work. I prefer playing with a friend but the reality is we may only have time to set up a small map as otherwise we would be on this all day. Nothing can beat playing against another real life player.
Game is under $30 physical in South Africa at two online stores. Not sure why. eShop is full price weirdly. Will be ordering one for myself. Awesome review also!!!
Just wait till the Rise and Fall expansion comes out. It almost radically changes this entire game into something much more involving. Goodbye, day, hello seemingly sudden night!
I don't believe the expansions will come out for the Switch, just new civs as dlc. I'm ok with that. Not because I don't care for the 2 expansions but because this is the best core CIV game to come out so far and and it really doesn't need the expansions to make it playable.
Okay simple question, does Sean Bean still narrate like on the PC version? Been playing Civ since II and the narrators enhance the presentation a great deal!
There are 3 levels of tutorial- for those new to Nintendo Switch, new to CIV, and new to CIV VI. I chose new to CIV VI on my first play through. The other 2 may hold your hand more but I'm not sure to what extent. On my tutorial, it went over subsystems but I still feel lost but I'm slowly learning by trial and error.
Great review Juan. Decent score. It’s a pass for me. I feel like if I bought it I would lock myself away and never stop playing it. This is one of the few games I’ll stay away from due to the addictive style.
Day 1 purchase. Best Buy GCU and a reward certificate brought it down to a more reasonable $31. Put 50 hours into it already. Was honestly regretting it because the computer was handing my ass to me. Especially frustrating since I've been playing Civilization since the first one but haven't gotten a new one since the DS version. I'm glad I stuck with it though I'm getting the hang of it now and it is absolute zen when everything starts to click.
@@SwitchWatch Yeah I just kept pouring hours into thinking I know I can do this, where am I going wrong? The wife was getting a little upset, just a bit of an addiction. I was literally playing it while walking on the treadmill lol. I lost my first game suddenly when another civ got a scientific victory just as I was thinking things were going my way. Then I tried a scenario where you have to take over the entire world in a set number of turns, I only got 1/3rd of the world conquered before running out of turns. I began getting frustrated then finally won a domination victory on my 3rd attempt and sadly on the easiest setting. Fantastic game but the learning curve was kinda steep for me and I'm in no way new to this series or genre. Those of you struggling keep trying it's so awesome once you start to figure it out.
I feel like for pc ports like this reviews should include comparisons between the 2 platforms so that the user who own the pc version or looking to purchase the copy that offers a better experience can make an informed decision re: which version to buy. unfortunately I don't think this review offers that.
really impressive that the switch can handle this kind of game.I thought that it would cause problems when u had several city’s and units all over the map doing their thing/calculations all the time.
@@nman78 ME2 when map is huge it takes a little while for the AI to have its go but nothing terrible. We have become more and more impressed with how the switch is handling these ports, makes us think almost anything is possible!
Lol same. I just finished BotW and looking for a next game to play. Im just having second thoughts with this civ 6 port on switch. Does it lag at near end or end game?
I like both but many don't due to differing art styles and such. I think if you are used to CIV 5 you may not like the change but I would say if you come to CIV 6 there will be things you love and things you wish were still like CIV 5. Personally, I do prefer CIV 5 style but I try to just see them as different games so I don't compare them too much. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
Excellent as always Juan I Love your reviews. 😊 Blimey Amazon are still quoting 1 to 2 Months, is Civ 6 actually released in the UK at the moment as quite a few places don’t have it for sale. I know I can grab the download but as Nin always Expensive tendo are Saying £44:99p for a flipping download I want the physical thing for that much. 🙄
For me personally. The switch collect dust with all my ps4 exclusives and games. Now with civ here, my ps4 is started to be played less. The only reason i go back to ps4 is when the battery dies on the switch. Civ is still the best strategy game out even with the crappy cartoon interface. I would actually rate it higher than 8.5. Specifically because we're scoring switch version (not PC version, switch has less options). Can't wait to see a strategy game top this one (specially for switch) .
I really can't get over the large, cheap, and extremely simplified UI. The cartoonish art style certainly isn't very favorable either. They honestly could have made a shit ton more money by porting Civ 5 (400 million times better than this). It's definitely not worth 60 dollars, I'll maybe get it on sale for a portable, watered down version of Civ 5.
On Sale now, it's had a load knocked off, check the eshop if it's still up. I like the graphics on CIV 5 but I'm is not massively bothered about it as this is still nice and playable. I prefer the realistic look though.
Game is done well, but the Nintendo switch is a sloppy floppy device to try and play on. Especially with accidentally moving units, camera auto-center trolling, and clumsy scrolling. I can’t say how many games I’ve tossed because of that one important move I contemplated.... but one brush of the screen sends those troops off elsewhere. ...or, I am centered and focused on a unit, but forgot to click the thumb stick and again, send them marching the wrong damned way. Other than that, love it.
Me parece un gran juego pero no llamará mucho la atención de los jugadores porque no es Fortnite XD, va a mí me gustó tiene ese toque que te hace que lo quieras jugar si eres fanático de juegos así, me parece una buena compra y un buen juego 10/10 :D
Tambien creo que es un gran juego me gustaría si el juego tenía "Hot Seat" pero bueno puedo jugar local con amigos. Este juego si tiene atención, por que hay muchos jugadores que le gustan. Gracias para commentar. 🦉😁
Nintendo is really dropping the ball with the online services. Honestly Nintendo must be run by retards. Playstation and Xbox have been doing it for over a decade and Nintendo's so dumb they still haven't figured it out
I know it's a "mobile" game technically, but even the PC version's UI looks like a screenshot off of a smartphone or something. It just looks like a mobile game, in my opinion. I don't know if this was intentional, or if they just thought Civ VI's UI looked better like this, but I hate it. It looks like they left out details and finesse out of the design to make it more simple. Forced minimalism, if you will. That's one of my least favorite changes to the new game.
i've been playing since civ 1. This one is just boring. i own it on my pc. And i got it on switch, not sure why i did that. Also I'm finding if I play anything bigger than a small map, it's slow. Not horribley slow, but annoyingly slow.
Good thinking but no revisionnhas been announced yet although we do believe their may be one in 2019 its by no means certain and the games right now are great like you say.
Nobody but Nintendo and 3rd party publishers really know when a Switch revision will occur. Some are speculating that it'll arrive this year but there is also the question of what kind of revision. Will it be a slim, XL, mini, or NEW (something like the" New 3DS").
Did you guys pick up Civ 6? Poll at 0:16, let us know if you have or haven't. What do you think of it?
Civilization 6
No because of no hotseat
I just picked it up, hope im not too late, is there a multiplayer here

This seems like a good game to escape to during 2020.
Great job. I got the game a couple weeks ago and i love it. I’m still learning after putting hours and hours into it. Rome is #1 😂
Thanks pal

@@SwitchWatch Okay great! Just got two new Switch games recently so I'm gonna wear them out first but Civ 6 will be down the line, for sure. Thanks!
Still have doubt though.. Wondering if expansions are coming to Switch
It's a quality game but we are not sure about the expansions in future.
its 20% off on the uk eshop now! VERY tempted to buy it, but I'm scared it'll be too complex for me.
it's a little complex but if you spend long enough on it, its easy enough to pick up. and the price is even more tempting now.

Is the largest map size on the switch the same as that on pc? And what about late game pwrformance, is it also on par?

Trying to decide on this or diablo.. i have beaten diablo on xbox multiple times so dont know if i need it for switch
Both games are excellent so you can't go wrong with either
Diablo is the obvious choice though. Way less bugs, a much better port (miles better!) and a lot more casual to pick up and play.
