IDK what it was, but Civ 6 just didn't do it for me. Going back to 5 I'll still easily get through a 20 hour game, but something about 6 I can't get past even mid game.

I have nearly 1500 hours played in Civ V. Never completed a single Civ VI game. Hoping they rediscover whatever it was that made 5 so great!

So it's not just me. I had all Civs since Civ II and spent probably more hours in each than in any other game. Somehow I played a bit of Civ VI and gave up.

I did wonder if I just got tired of civ games.

I'm also a Civ V truther. VI never hooked me at all but I still regularly go back to V as a comfort game.

I vastly prefer the visual style of Civ 5 and find Civ 6 painful to look at

As someone who only ever played civ 6, I played one game for a whole week and never got bored.

So whatever draws you to civ 5, I am drawn in to civ 6 the same way.

I find that very interesting, considering you don't like it as much.
