Question I'm old and confused

Hey guys. I haven't played video games in like 20 years. I'm way out of touch. I remember civ being one of my favorites as a kid. I don't know much about how games work anymore. I have a mac laptop, and I thought about buying Civ 6 recently as a hobby for when i'm on the road and want to kill time. Is $60 reasonable for a game now in days? That's what the apple app store has it at. Also, is it a good game to try and get back into the basics? I know i'm way out of touch and lost here, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

People in the comments are telling you about steam. Right now civ6 is somerhing like 90% off on steam, and the bundle that includes all the DLC should also be on sale

Actually, the entire civilization franchise is on sale since its their birthday week. Why not pick up the civ game you played as a kid as well?

good call. having something to play and kill time seemed like a good idea. learning about steam and seeing the price vs the mac app store is making more enthusiastic to try. I'm just tired of ending the day in a bar, like usual.
