I know Switch games rarely go on sale so it is a bit of a deal if you're going to pick it up anyway. If you can wait, it was $50 (I believe) on Boxing Day at EB and it was on sale for about the same on the eShop so it might go on sale again at some point.

This goes down to 59.99 regularly (last on March 27th) and has been seen at 49.99(March 17th) and even 39.99 before (Best Buy Black Friday), so this is a bit of a deal but it was better a week ago and likely will be next week too.

2K games drop quite fast generally, if you can wait a bit longer, you should.

I picked this up from the library to try it out. I've never played a Civilization game before and found even the tutorial a bit difficult to get through. I didn't really know what a lot of the icons on the screen were for and didn't think it explained them very well. I think I need to learn on PC before I can try the switch version again. Something like hovering tool tips would really help.

Since this isn't a 1st party game, it'll go on sale for a better price. It's already been on sale for around $50 before.

This has 0 dlc, there is a TON and a few expansions now, this price isn't hot at all.

I wanted to buy this but doing a bit of reading it sounds like there won't be any expansion on this. Not worth it? I don't have any other console or computer to buy on

I believe the switch version has 4 DLC included already but nothing else and no expansion. I'm debating still....does the expansion make the game much better?

Both expansions greatly enhance the game. Much better

$50 for a downgraded port of a near 3 year old PC game that was included in the $12 Humble monthly back in Jan 2018? Switch game prices are atrocious and this is one of the worse "deals" I've ever seen

The game was $39.99 as an unadvertised door crasher at Best Buy on Black Friday.

In terms of the two expansions, nothing official has really been said either way. This past week the game added the ability for cloud saves to move between the Switch and PC and back. That is definitely a sign that they are still working on the game and could be an early indication that the second expansion is coming.

In terms of the Civ series they release a base game, then add extra rules, units, leaders, etc in the first expansion. The second expansion then builds off the changes from the first expansion. If you have the base game and only the second expansion you play with all the rule changes but can be missing things like leaders.

In terms of porting to the Switch, the developers could focus on only the second expansion in terms of their effort and bundle in all the content from both as the only reason it gets excluded on the PC side is for marketing reasons.

I see two expansions available for purchase listed on the nintendo site:
https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/c ... -vi-switch

Are these not the DLC you were referring to?

Also the game got a 9.4 on the Switch so seems pretty good:

The last expansion on PC is Gathering Storm and it's not worth it (from a Civ fan from the first one). Too much issues right now, wait 2-3 patchs.
