The reviewers praised the still impending gameplay, improvement of diplomatic and military systems, a new system of eras (now there are only three of them, and each has its own set of civilizations), a pleasant visual style and soundtrack.

In disadvantages, the project recorded an insufficiently informative interface, excessive simplification of many gameplay elements, a lack of content that DLC compensate (plans already), and the inability to disable the new system of eras.

Critics agreed that the Sid Meier’s Civilization VII turned out to be a good game that offers several new ideas and simplifies the old ones or cuts out for the sake of future DLC.
