10 Times Video Games Cheated To Beat You
8. A Free Monument - Civilization
A game of Civilisation that's too easy is genuinely low-key torture. Far away are the moments of challenge and quick-thinking that make the game so engaging for so many, replaced by a slow slog of continual victory. If you need a bit of an ego boost, it might just do the trick; otherwise it's one of the most supremely boring experiences a good game can present.
Now, all this said, it doesn't quite forgive a weird thing the game does, which is that it provides AI players a random chance of getting one of the Wonders of the World built every turn. Not only does this suck because you have to slave away in order to make one and the computer got it for free, but it also sucks because they get bragging right of having made something cool potentially way before it should have even gotten it.
All we're saying it building the goddamn pyramids should take a lick of work, is all.
