Civilization 5 is one of those amazing games that makes you stay up till 6 in the morning, downing Red Bull, screaming when you finally eliminate that arsehole who took your tiny town over 200 turns ago, however you just tok his capital.

The game runs smoothly on basically any machine, and mine's a brick. If it doesn't run smoothly in normal mode, theres a "Tactical" mode that basically can run on a toaster. That is, if that toaster has DirectX 9.

You will play hundreds on hundreds of turns. You will stay up till the break of dawn. And you will love every second of it.

11/10 would buy again
