One of the best for the genre

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

My wife loves this genre and this one is one of the best. Lots of actions and excitement (yes, she was excited!). She played Sid Meier's in PS3 for years and there were no new games.
If you love this genre, definitely try this one.
My only gripe is that the disc doesn't really work since Steam ignored it and download everything. It was a long install.

Again it was very difficult to install I had to take it to Best Buy to hear how and it doesn't run off the CD. So if you going to download it from Steam you want might as well buy it from Steam don't waste your money

A quick review of the boxed retail version

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

This review is specific to the boxed version of Civilization: Beyond Earth for the PC. You should be aware that even though it isn't a digital download, you will require an internet connection AND Steam client software to activate the game. The actual installation is from the DVD and not through Steam, which is great if you live in an area with a lousy internet connection. Once you activate the game during installation, you may need the internet again when you run the game for the first time. If you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, Steam will install it automatically. It's a small download and won't take much time. After you launch the game successfully one time, you won't need internet or the Steam client to play ever again. Though, you will require an internet connection and Steam to update any fixes or changes to the game.

Why buy the boxed version? Well, why not? It's the same price as the digital download and shipping is free. You'll get a DVD-ROM case that has a nice slip sleeve with a gate that opens to reveal glossy artwork. While supplies last, you get a folded poster, which doesn't suit my personal taste. The poster is a gloomy depiction of soldiers and machines on a war path. Personally, I'd rather have the lovely box art with the astronaut filling me with wonder and excitement of humankind's first real footprint in space.

There is also an 8 page booklet that includes a hot key reference chart. According to the included mini booklet, there is supposed to be a digital manual in the Steam installation directory for the game -- it is missing. That being said, the tutorials included with the game are very good. Civilization manuals tend to become outdated as the game is updated anyway, so I don't think I am missing anything by not having it.

By the way, if you have a pre-order copy, the Exo-Planets Map Pack doesn't show up as a DLC. When you are at the Choose Planet screen, click on Advanced Worlds and you will see the additional planet maps.

As for the game itself, it is enjoyable -- especially once you learn the tips and tricks of how to play (most notably how to manage colony health during expansion).

... want to compare my experience to Civ 3 (the best Civilization of all time IMO)

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

I want to compare my experience to Civ 3 (the best Civilization of all time IMO), because after I tried playing 4 for a while I never quite had as good of an experience playing a Civilization again. Sadly, this was true for Beyond Earth as well. After the game freezes at the loading screen in the beginning I have to figure out a way to move past it, but it is possible.

To start off, the factions you choose from don't really give me a "unique" game-changing vibe. Each one has certain perks that caters to a certain playstyle, but most they just seem boring and irrelevant overall, compared to being the Persians for immortals, or the Germans for their late-game Panzers that give me a sense of cultural advantage. Most of the units you end up getting depend solely on the affinity that you pick, which brings me to my next point.

The resources are so dull and unexciting. I will never forget the thrill of seeing precious iron popping up in Civ 3. It was of the utmost importance that your empire discovers and utilizes iron or else it puts you at a major set back. Several aspects of the game collapse without it. Oh, and coal and oil each had similar feelings to them. During my playthroughs of Beyond Earth the resources that popped up were mostly useless unless your affinity required them for their special units. And the more units you built the more of your special resource you needed. Honestly, that was an interesting challenge because it forced you to shape your borders a certain direction to get exactly what you needed. But the conquest aspect of the game was lackluster.

Satellites could have been more interesting. Naval battles were the most fun. The side quests too easy and repetitive. The wonders were okay, with interesting background stories, but lacked animation. Siege worms would linger around cities, get shot with city defense, leave, heal, repeat. It was an annoying, nonstop nuisance. The AI was dumb as hell and never did anything other than complain about our differences. I know I'm kind of jumping around but it's just numerous things like these that made me not really enjoy it enough to want to play countless matches like I did in Civ 3.

After all of this standard Civilization engine gameplay and I've achieved some sort of victory, I was expecting more than just a pop up with some concept art and a short text. The game would be at least replayable if each affinity had a special ending scene to watch. It totally killed any sense of accomplishment I had prior to last move.

I was hoping the game would be more than just a Civ 5 with a new theme. Hopefully in the future there will be a Civ that is more immersive, more challenging and thrilling than what they've already produced.

If you love Civ V you will enjoy playing Beyond Earth

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

It is more like an expansion pack than a new game. Diplomacy functions much the same as Civ V with the addition of exchanging "favors." . Also the spy interface is updated with more options. I like the ability to terraform the landscape and the planetary resources are new and different. Once you adjust to thelandscape you it will feel very much like you are playing Civ V. Instead of barbarians there are aliens. Instead of happiness there is health to contend with. One of my favorite aspects of this game is the automatic unit upgrades as your technologies advance. Take advantage of trade routes to have ample resources to support units and buildings. The technology "web" is somewhat confusing though well thought out. Good job overall. Four new and interesting ways to win in addition to domination victory.

Took a while getting the concept, but when I did this title became well-thought out , I was having a bad day, but when I let myself relax I found it to be quite immersive and a pleasure to play. Over all I think others will find just as enjoyable as I did, good game!
