I’m a bit of a snob there because Civ hasn’t felt like Civ since IV to me. V is still fun, but it just doesn’t quite have the same vibe as the older civ games. It has felt that VI and by the looks of things VII are just chasing popular current trends in the genre instead of doing their own thing, which saddens me a lot to see. A lot of these games like Humankind or Millennia were touted as “Civ killers” but it seems like the franchise might end up killing itself due to just folding into generic games with nothing unique or noteworthy about them. I hope I’m wrong though and Civ VII is a trendsetter in the industry and not another follower.
I and II are good, III is…probably the weakest of the early civ games. IV is my personal favourite so I’m a bit biased, but it’s pretty unique, there isn’t another game like it in the series, even if it does have some major problems (like the stack of doom being pretty much mandatory).

I only played Civ V and Civ VI. I believe I have III and IV, and I played a little bit of IV iirc. I should try Civ I-III when I have the time.
