I have a weird relationship with this game where I really love it but at the same time it took so much time and mental energy that I’m not sure if i ever actually finished it. I would have preferred if it was a more condensed experience with the same core.
My girlfriend has a similar complaint. Hours upon hours poured into Civilization VI, but after long sessions her arms get tired from holding it up due to the weight. Haven’t heard any complaints about reach though, but maybe that’s not as big of a deal as the weight.
