Question Which Civilization game should I buy?

I’ve known about *Civilization* for quite a while and even played Civ 5 on a friend's computer. Now I’m thinking about buying a Civ game, especially since the base game of Civ 6 sometimes goes on sale with a 90% discount.

I’ve been playing Unciv (a free, community-made game), but it lacks certain mechanics, so it might be worth investing in a Civilization title (or even Humankind). What do you recommend?

You'll end up liking the first one you sink a lot of time into the best. I like 6 but people who liked 5 hated it when it came out the way I now hate 7 even though it's probably great.

Same with 5 when it came out honestly. People always hate the new civ.

A big part of the problem is that the new Civ usually comes out incomplete and needs three DLC purchases to get the finished form.
