Key topics include:

• What Civ 7 does differently from its predecessors.
• The gameplay mechanics, AI, and overall balance—what works and what doesn’t.
• Whether this is the evolution the franchise needed or just more of the same.

Does Civilization 7 push the 4X genre forward, or is it playing it too safe? Tune in for Joe’s verdict, Al’s grilling, and a discussion on where the Civ series stands in 2025.
