Civ V is "peak civ".

Or perhaps its successor Civilization: Beyond Earth is? IDK
Either way, with the release of Old World from Mohawk, 4X is stepping back in time. Civ V is retro as hell.
If like me you like scenarios and maps, then Civ V is vastly superior to Firaxis' followup Civ VI. Scenarios Into The Renaissance and Scramble For Africa are sublime.

As for MP, Beyond Earth and Civ VI are better games. But the single player experience in Civ V considerably more challenging.

Civ V honed the addictive "One More Turn" game play. Civ VI not so much.
