My philosophy is that Civ 5 and Civ 6 are just fine. My friend was going to buy 7 on release and I was like "yeah, but you can just go play Civ 6. It's not like it's a bad game just because the new one is out." And I'm glad I convinced him otherwise because of how "okay" Civ 7 has been so far. Nothing against the game, I just already have the last three Civ games with all DLC and there is still a mountain of content that we already have to play with each other.

I think a lot of people are waiting for the first Civ7 expansion pack to be released, whenever that may be.
Civ 6 without R+F, GS feels like a completely different game. As an example, in vanilla you can expand anywhere right up to someone's borders whereas with the expansion straying too far from your territory you could just lose it to influential pressure from neighbouring cities.

I'm waiting for the last Civ7 expansion pack to be released.
Civilization peaked at 2.
It peaked at 4 with the fall from heaven 2 mod
3 for me. Although I really like 4 too
I do enjoy 5. But I don't like 6
I think 6 has too much going on. I don’t care for the districts.
Me too! I think if the districts were in the city it would be great. Taking up a tile is dumb. I also hate the workers are only good for 3 or 4 tasks
