Might & Magic: Heroes VII vs Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI is what many fans have dubbed as the worst Civilization game so far. Why's that though? Well, one major concern about this game is its terrible AI system. Considering that you'll be playing with many different AIs, each controlling a different country, it can be hard to cooperate with them when they are being incredibly unreasonable when it comes to diplomacy, trade and well, basically everything really. Can you imagine an AI proposing a deal to you but ended up breaking up the deal because it didn't agree with the terms it made in the first place? Anyway, there are many other game-breaking bugs too, some of which will crash the game.However, the game does have many of the features that had made the Civilization series great as well as really appealing graphics, it's just that there are too many broken stuff that apparently won't get fixed anytime soon. If you are considering getting this game, we'd recommend you to get Civ 5 instead. It may be older but it's definitely a lot superior than this installment.
