Millennia

"Millennia is a fresh take on the 4X genre that offers a reactive approach to building your nation throughout history, but a few key issues keep it from greatness."

"Millennia does try to at least partially differentiate itself from the Civilization series, but despite some good ideas and tweaks, it&s;s just another less successful clone. The transition to new periods, which may be different, is especially interesting. However, it …"

"Millennia is a good turn-based strategy experience that has the potential to become great after some updates and, possibly, expansions. The core idea of alternate historical ages is engaging but needs to be expanded on, with more options and more …"

"Millennia is an interesting, if flawed, take on the civilization-like experience that could be so much more with polish and time taken to it. It’s worth experiencing if you like these types of games, but it’s not going to revolutionize …"

"Millennia&s;s take on the historical 4X formula is fascinating, but the wonder wears off soon due to misplaced priorities and omissions that are hard to overlook."

"Millennia is a 4X strategy game that refers to Civilization, but far from being limited to copying, it seeks to innovate and provide differentiating elements within the genre. Of course, it has many things to fix, but the work of …"

"Millennia is a perfectly adequate 4X strategy game that will be easy for players to pick up and play. It does not try to reinvent the wheel, for better or for worse."

"Millennia focuses too much on the ways it wants to mix up the Civilization formula without building the base of a strong Civ-like first."

"Despite its flaws, though, Millennia’s gameplay is compelling enough to keep me coming back. It’s better than Humankind (which I say as an unapologetic Amplitude fanboy), and on par with Old World, but it doesn’t quite dethrone Civilization. However, its …"

"Truly, a game of paradox (pun intended). The concept of Ages is exciting but the way it is implemented forces players into science-focused gameplay. The system of resources is meant for hardcore player, but others like diplomacy and international economy …"

"It&s;s far from being the first game of the genre you should try. As it stands, it&s;s just a nice, temporary alternative."

"There are a lot of mechanics to discuss in Millennia, and there is too much to put into a review of the game. However, with plenty of depth on offer in Millennia it is sure to please any long-time fan …"

"A rough-edged but worthwhile spin on historical 4Xs that oddly leaves Civ&s;s greatest flaws untouched."

"Is there a single reason for playing Millennia? Except frustrating mechanic of production chains and insufficiently developed Variant and Crisis Ages, you you won’t find anything here that isn’t already in Civilization or Humankind. This game is technically weak and …"

"Millennia is a grand and demanding 4X strategy game that caters to players who crave complexity beyond Civilization. Its deep resource management, alternate historical ages, and massive scope create a rewarding experience for dedicated strategists. While AI shortcomings and shallow …"

"Millennia is a 4X game that&s;s bursting with new ideas and ways to tackle the historical strategy genre. I enjoyed how regions grow and sprawl across the map, the management that this provides, and the alt-history ages provide some fun …"
