Personal opinion, Civ 6 gameplay feels like it sacrificed some personality in the name of balance. Civ bonuses are more muted, so it feels like less personality. It introduced interesting new systems, but the agenda system usually feels more annoying than actually offering interesting long term strategic options. Same goes for religion, the religious combat mechanic is too fiddly, leading to me mostly just ignoring it. Civ 6 is a deeper game, but for whatever reason I can't put my finger on, it was just a bit less fun.
