Sid Meier's Civilization VI: Persia and Macedon Civilization & Scenario Pack Review (Historious)
Stop making scenarios that no one plays more than once, and fix the base game please.
EDIT: I feel like this doesn't really get my point across so much as I would like, but the base game of Civ VI is probably the best in the series that I've played (Civ IV, V, BE, and VI). Why the negative reviews then? Because it has just a few terrible issues that break the entire game, which haven't been fixed after 9 months.
AI is terrible. Actually garbage. It's not just that it doesn't pose any problem whatsoever, it's primarily how illogical it is. A couple examples:
AI: "Sure, the player has no troops. I'll swoop in and take his city right now with my dozen units!" (8 turns later their entire army has been crippled, and I've just won the war.
AI: "You don't have a big military that would come to rival and threaten me? Eat shit kid, I'm declaring war on you because you need to build more units."
AI: "You don't have a large spy network that could potentially be used against me in the future, this has greatly soured the relations of our country to the point where I will declare war on you."
Not to mention the fact sometimes the AI will be spread out all over the tech tree with some being in the INFORMATION ERA while I'm in the Industrial Era, and some are just coming into the Reinassance. Not only that, but I can win with a religious victory by just spamming, and no other AI even makes an attempt to stop me.
Speaking of which, religious victory is terrible and needs to be redesigned in some way. Right now there are three religious units, only one of which is needed to win the game.
The AI can't win wars for shit.
City-states just carpet units across the fucking map, and produce more than they have tiles.
And that's just to name a few issues.
There's no randomness either, so the AI can't even put up a fight even through RNGesus.

I really want this game to be good, after all I wouldn't pay $80 for a preorder if I didn't. I love Firaxis, and I want them to succeed in making the game good. The moment they fix the glaring issues, I will instantly turn my scores to positive, and sing high praises of Firaxis once again, until then however... I'm comfortable giving the game and its slightly overpriced DLCs a thumbs down.
