The newest giveaway on the Epic Games Store is a doozy: Civilization VI, totally free, for keepsies. I’m fairly positive some international locations think about handing out free Civ to be an act of financial terrorism, for encouraging innumerable late nights and sick days in individuals who couldn’t resist the siren name of only one extra flip. The turn-based technique game could also be virtually 4 years previous nevertheless it nonetheless has a £50 price ticket so rattling, okay Epic. This proper after GTA 5 too.
Head on over to the Epic Games Store to seize Civ 6 by 4pm on Thursday the 28th and it’ll be yours to maintain. Nice.
That is the bottom game, thoughts, with out the expansions that basically do so much to enhance it. If you need these, for £34 you’ll be able to improve to the Platinum Edition with each the Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall expansions and the six previous Civilization & Scenario Pack DLCs.
And no, this doesn’t embody the model new £33 DLC season go which launched at this time, the New Frontier Pass.
I used to be a little bit sceptical when Epic began appearing like they’d such nice weekly freebies coming throughout their Mega Sale however Grand Theft Auto V was a robust begin and Civ 6 is a superb follow-up. The GTA giveaway was so well-liked that it killed GTA Online’s servers last weekend.
Civ 6 is certainly one of the best strategy games, says us. Do see Adam, Alec, and Pip’s RPS Verdict for lots extra phrases. And if you happen to’re contemplating paying to improve, see our Rise And Fall review and Gathering Storm review. Alec mentioned, “Gathering Storm’s the best version of Civilization VI we’ve ever had, and feels a lot more like a game about civilisation rather than conquest.” But hell, you might tank a small nation with the hours stolen by the bottom game alone.
