I’ve been enjoying it, although it is still unpolished. I think ultimately whether you like the new direction (changes to the age system/picking new civs mid game) is going to be a matter of personal taste. To me, I now feel like my unique civ bonuses are always relevant, instead of just in whatever specific era. I also find myself more engaged in mid to late game.
But I’ve also read a number of comments where people prioritize other aspects of the Civ experience, and those folks do NOT like the changes to game flow. Your mileage may vary.
