After playing a bit, it's clear it's only vaguely similar to civilization. Definitely more open and less inline than civ. Nice but quite frankly pretty confusing. Try it out if you can before buying.

Writing this review as of 25/06/21. I say this because CDPR has been releasing massive updates. If you can get past the poor performance and the bugs, the story is amazing and the gameplay is p solid.

Great game to really sink your teeth into for many hours. Especially good on multiplayer.

Great game.

Good game. The older games in the Yakuza entry have some pretty unfair bosses so keep that in mind if you're prone to raging.

Great game.

The game, in my experience is fun with a great selection of cars and great drifting, but the game is horribly optimized and might not run well if you have anything below a GTX 1060 or equivalent.

Really fun game with a great story to play with one of your friends.

Fairly good game.

Great game.
