If you’re dedicated to the 4X genre and enjoy Civ VI already, it’s well worth the price tag. The Gathering Storm is certainly worth the price tag to me and I’ve lost sleep and been late to work in order to squeeze a few more turns out. However, I can understand the trepidation if anyone would have it. Personally, given how much replay value and how all consuming Civ VI is when I’ve delved into it, I wouldn’t hesitate to bite the bullet. Half the price would be a no-brainer but having a DLC pack that’s 50% of the of the original game price is a bit steep. ![]() However, the $40 price tag makes it a bit of tough pill to swallow. There are so many positives that make it worth your while with new leaders, new ways to win, and new environmental challenges to test your mettle. Sid Meiers Civilization VI: Gathering Storm is the second expansion pack released for Civilization VI, following Civilization VI: Rise and Fall. Following the central theme of Man vs Environment, it will require your civilization to deal with issues of climate change in the late game, when industrialization can lead to rising sea levels and the loss of entire city districts. What it shakes down to though, is whether there’s enough bang for your buck in this DLC pack. Civilization 6: Gathering Storm, has been announced as the games second expansion. The environmental aspect of Gathering Storm certainly adds a degree of difficulty to the game that is very real world based as well as making it apparent as to why we are in such trouble in our current world. Nothing is more to the point than when I laughed all through the Medieval Age as the Sumerian’s nearest me got repeatedly flooded on their low laying terrain, only to wait until the Atomic Age when my lacklustre environmental policies ended up in rising sea levels that began to wash away whole districts I had been building for ages. While very applicable to today’s society, boy can it ever be real annoying in game. Not only are there varying degrees of natural disasters to make your life more difficult, but the way you and the rest of the world build your empires affects the global climate. ![]() There will be no additional expansions in the future Gameplay. Civilization VI: Gathering Storm introduces an active planet where geology and climatology present unique new challenges. ![]() A second expansion, Civilization VI: Gathering Storm, followed in February 2019, and a season pass, The New Frontier Pass, in May 2020. As one can imagine with a name like ‘The Gathering Storm’, the environment plays a big part in the expansion. The game received generally positive reviews upon release, and it was awarded Best Strategy Game at The Game. One of the biggest changes in the expansion is the change in the map and the weather system.
