Eh?

I guess it's better than Civ 5.

One unit per tile still sucks.

It's hard to tell how much is enjoyable strategy and how much is just arbitrary gaminess.

Still plagued by not making all vital info easily accessible. Clicking on a city no longer gives you all the info and screens you need. Population assignment, production, growth info, and trade routes are all in mutually exclusive tabs now. Did Google design this fucking thing?

City districts, arguably the biggest change they were banking on to sell this, do not display ANY info in their production queue tooltip. If you want to find out all the (extremely fucking vital for long term planning) info for that, you have to back out and search for them in the Civpedia.

I'm not sure about them. They seem like they might have a strategy, but it's so ridiculously long term. Where you placed a city in the ancient era can fuck you over come the industrial era. It also seems like they just lifted the whole system from Endless Legend then made it a lot less forgiving.

The new movement system is aggravating. Cannot move into a tile unless you have the full cost (2 for hills/forest, ALL of your movement points for crossing a river). It creates even more of a traffic jam our of 1 unit per tile.

The new road system sucks. You order a new trade route to be formed from city to city, and a caravan automatically builds a connecting road via the shortest path. Units are not faster on roads until the modern era. All roads do is let you ignore rough terrain, which they won't even accomplish half the time because the automatic path the caravan laid out sucks.
