It looks like civilization 5.5 if we were to put it on a scale of civ v's realistic and civ vi's cartoonish visual style, with a bit a polish overall to make the graphics prettier. I think I like it.

Also, yeah, why is this a gameplay reveal. It's also halfway on a scale of a theatrical trailer and a gameplay trailer.

I guess the gameplay showcase is live right now: https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=Tc3_EO6Bj2M

It looks like we can mix and match leaders and civilizations now, nice!

It looks like they took a lot of ideas from Humankind.

I wonder if the pre-purchase bonuses are exclusive to preordering only or if we could still purchase them later when the game goes on sale. I hate preorder exclusive content.

Video games are presented way too seriously. They hype the shit up like the dawn after revolution is about to occur. So much hype for a game to get me addicted and waste too many hours of my life.
