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