★★★★★ When playing on maps that are standard size or larger, the app tends to crash mid to late game.
★★★★★ Game runs fine on an M1 MBP and on Intel MBPs but crashes at around 500 turns consistently on a new M4 MBA.
★★★★★ Could be a fun game but I will never know beacuse the constant crashing makes the game unplayable.
84 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ (Civ 6 stinks!) Upon loading up one afternoon I get a message to go to the APP store and load an update.
★★★★★ Randomly crashes not long after a game starts. Aspyr Media, Inc. is forcing you to get their next game and doesnt care about updating the older games. if you look online there is literally thousands of customers…
★★★★★ Ich hoffe, dass es hier irgendwann nochmal ein Update veröffentlicht wird.

★★★★★ Doesn't work from the app store or Steam.
★★★★★ Operating on a top of the line mac computer and while the game opens, the graphics are of terrible quality. The oceans are black with gold specks, versus say, blue. The devs are clearly committed to making this old…
★★★★★ Civilization V was agreat game but becem progressively more buggy and now reliably crashes system after a few turns.
47 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Applied for a refund but my advice is don't bother purchasing.
★★★★★ Not only was I charged for the update but the game had so many changes I could hardly move around.
★★★★★ Game doesnt even get past the company logos without crashing.....this needs to be fixed but for now, I'll be awaiting my refund.

★★★★★ Yeah so I loaded the game up again after the newest update, only to find that all the DLC content was gone?
★★★★★ Does not work based on App Store / Apple ID across devices. Requires you to purchase each expansion pack on every device you own..lol. #fail
★★★★★ I have the campaign edition. It had all the DLC now after the update it saying I need to buy it all ?????

★★★★★ (Civ 6 stinks!) Upon loading up one afternoon I get a message to go to the APP store and load an update.
★★★★★ Guess it works better on PC platform - seems like a poor port. Also - annoying how * focus between units shifts back and forth. * automated workers and scouts pay zero heed to barbarians - jumping in the sea right in…
★★★★★ Just downloaded the game and I can't even play because it crashes as soon as it starts loading.
19 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Support doesn't seem to exist, so purchase at your own risk.
★★★★★ I contacted Support twice and received no reply at all.
★★★★★ Hope the support team will find a fix.
9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ There are a ton of accurate reviews around regarding what is wrong with Civ V, so I won't even bother restating it all.
★★★★★ Rendered useless in MacOS Sonoma.The fullscreen is not centered leaving a couple of inches at the top to show the desktop, while cutting off the same amount at the bottom where the controls are.
★★★★★ Since Apple is a garbage company that forces constant useless updates on its customers (with the ultimate goal of making your machine obsolete), I got force “upgraded” to Brave New World from Campaign Edition.
49 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I downloaded it myself when I was a teen and I still enjoy it, perfect way to spend a slow day.
★★★★★ One fo the few strategy games that lets you customize gameplay to your playstyle and just have FUN!
★★★★★ its best to use this game on an imac everyone i had soo much fun with this game and now im playing civ 6.
10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I told the gamemakers my story with Steam and showed them the receipt of purchase and they were very kind and gave me a license to play the previous game for free, so I played that instead.
★★★★★ But it's up to you whether paying an extra 60$ for the full version is worth it.
★★★★★ I reccomend you buy it, because the 20 bucks are worth it.
9 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I've been trying to get anyone to provide support for the game but no luck after being at it for a week.
★★★★★ Nicht mehr top aktuell aber immer noch mit Support und sogar noch 64 Bit nachgereicht - Danke!
★★★★★ Aspyr Support replied to a separate support request and explained there were issues with access to DLC which had not actually been purchased.
6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ As a result many interface options and controls are completely different in Civilzation V.
★★★★★ All in all I am still getting used to the game play compared to other CIV games but the game itself looks beautiful in 4K with all the detail set to high on the video options.
★★★★★ It was a little slower on my MacBook Pro Unibody but now on my latest iMac I have the detailed graphics settings and it looks gorgeous.
5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ The first three levels are too easy and can become repetitive but going up just to the fourth level is almost impossible to beat.
★★★★★ I would highly recommend this game to anyone searching for a easy-hard strategy game worthy of forcing your head to think!
★★★★★ My large problem is simple.

WILL NOT LOAD!!!!!!!!
First, I have all DLC’s purchased / downloaded; my review is based on the entire package. Let’s get into it. First impression, I was overwhelmed, this is a good thing (reminded me of KotoR2). It took me almost 2 weeks to simply understand the basics. Every “thing” you can think of, can be done .. on a tile, to an enemy, for a rss. There are many different ways to play / approach your civilization, all possible .. be it via religion, culture, etc. It is exponentially customizable each time you start a new civilization. As one reviewer mentioned, Civ V is a great way to lose time, so be prepared to be committed, the rabbit hole is deep. I have nothing negative to say; I feel any shortcomings are because I didnt fully read instructions / make intelligent choices. Regarding the “lag” comments .. there is 0 lag. This is a turn based game, so the more NPC’s you have on the board, the more vehicles/ships on the board, the more “trades” you have, etc .. they all have to execute, which is what can be misinterpreted as lag. Running lean armies and minimal trades will keep any time to a minimum. Bottom line, for detailed oriented gamers, looking for maximum control over their game, with an infinite number of possibilities / choices .. THIS is the game for you. 9.5 / 10
My 2021 Apple M1 Pro MacBook is having difficulty running CIV 5. When playing on maps that are standard size or larger, the app tends to crash mid to late game. Rebooting the game (after allowing the Mac to cool down) doesn't return performance as the game just crashes again. I was thinking about purchasing a more recent Mac but while looking into the issue I saw lots of people saying CIV 5 runs great on an M1 Pro chip. I haven't used my laptop for anything else except college.
Anfangs interessant, nach gewisser Zeit wird das Spiel langweilig, weil sich alles wiederholt. Das passiert schon im ersten Spiel.
I have noticed some members complaining about repeated crash’s with the game. The fix is to shut down all other programs that would interfere with the game. This is an older game. CIV V has been rated the best strategy game ever made numerous times. My view is they should have stuck with and improved this games graphics and complexity instead of subsequent versions which destroyed the simplicity of the game. I have been playing CIV V since it was first introduced playing thousands of games, every game has been different. I still give it 5 Stars.
Great strategy game! I have had it since its release and added the gathering Storm. Its replay ability is incredible. Always loved it and still love it!
