i'm more of a scifi guy than a history guy, but one thing that makes normal civ work is that when you look at the research tree and see a node called "tank," you already know what a tank does. you just kinda by default understand that a tank is a treaded armored vehicle that has a big gun. when you look at the research tree in beyond earth and see "nanohive," you don't really have a sense of what that means for your game. so you're stuck trying to parse the already-opaque long list of traits and skills and requirements when you hover over the nanohive research node, which was already rough in regular civ but nearly impenetrable in beyond earth now that everything is funny make'em'up words. i was so excited for this one but my eyes glazed over when i realized i'd need to learn a new language to have any hope of progression. i've never been good at "winning" at civ, i always just like building everything out, and that's difficult in this one with any sort of purpose or forethought.

Незаслуженно захейченная игра. есть механики из пятёрки есть даже что-то из шестёрки, которая на момент выхода ещё разрабатывалась, есть и что-то новое для серии. Отличная игра не настолько глубокая, как номерные части, но она собственно поэтому и спин-офф. Из минусов можно выделить только поломанный онлайн ну и мб контента максимум часов на 150 (наверное маловато для стратегии), если прям ещё ачивки выбивать. Людишки как обычно захейтили что-то новое и по итогу жрут позорную седьмую часть, а могли бы получить сиквел или ещё какую-нибудь игру на тему космоса/другого сеттинга с механиками цивы.

While there's very little in the game that is wrong, there is also very little that is right: it's been completely distilled down to a "one more turn" simulator, with pretty much nothing to do besides watching timers tick down. Devoid of any character or substance, with a complete lack of any attempt at telling some sort of story, with a completely homogenous map generator, and a tech tree that allows you to just push for anything immediately, the game has essentially no variation, no challenge, and almost no roleplaying factor. There isn't really anything bad about the game, but there just isn't any reason to play this. From the same devs: Alpha Centauri does the setting much better, Civ6 polishes all the mechanics to make them actually feel complete, and Colonization is a much better base-builder. If you're looking for something similar but with more depth, Endless Legend came out a year before this and does nearly everything better (even tho the UI is equally terrible).

Civ: Beyond Earth is fun, but lacks the usual Civilization charm. The factions feel a bit flat, and diplomacy is barebones, missing the interesting choices and personality you'd expect from a Civ game. That said, I really enjoyed the wide variety of units, there’s a soldier for every situation. The research system is also a nice change, instead of a tech tree, it’s a web, which lets you focus on upgrades that match your playstyle. The visual style is also cool and underappreciated. It definitely grew on me the longer I played. It’s a bit sad that Beyond Earth was abandoned so quickly by Firaxis. With one more expansion, I think it could’ve been something truly special. Instead, it’s become the forgotten child of the Civ series, and to be fair, thats for good reason. It doesn’t reach the same level of quality as other Civ games. But that’s a high bar, and Beyond Earth is still a good, solid 4X game on its own. I do recommend trying it, especially if you can grab it on sale.

No. I can't recommend this game with the new terms and conditions as they are now. And I am very sorry because I really loved this game.

Look, is this the best Civ game? No. Not even a little bit. It has a lot of problems, such as: choice of leader doesn't really impact the game that much, wonders sort of feel meaningless and boring, it has some bugs, glitches, and performance issues that will simply never be fixed, and it is absurdly overpriced at $40-60 USD - I got it at a massive discount, and I highly recommend you do too. That being said, what is left when you move past the lack of polish is a genuinely fun game with some unique mechanics. If the leaders were more distinct, it would easily be the most replayable of the Civ games - between affinities, upgrade paths, playstyles, planet types and climates, each game actually feels different for the first dozen or so. I also find the game to be much more difficult than the mainline civ games, which is something I appreciate as a long-time strategy gamer. I will absolutely dispute what others have said about the leaders not having distinct personalities, I think the game actually does pretty good at that. Miasma, orbital units, cities on water, etc are all really unique concepts that add a lot of depth. It's a very charming game, and I feel it holds up better than many 12-year-old games. As for some niche complaints: I feel like affinities should be more exclusive, as you can pretty easily get up to max in all of them if you focus on science and culture. We should've gotten more victory types and leaders, but alas, support ended for this game pretty quickly (luckily mods exist for the leader dilemma). There are certainly UI issues and settings issues, although that's somewhat par for the course for civ games at release (still an issue though), and the game could be greatly benefitted by just being brighter and more colorful. Strategic resources need to be rebalanced; for example petroleum is fairly useless while firaxite and biomass are overused (although at least it's better than mainline civ games where resources like Horses become completely obsolete). Love the game, buy it on sale, give it a shot.

Great Game. Different enough from the other civ games to be interesting. Still playing after 12 years, my steam time covers less than half the hours spent playing. Owned the hard copy for years before adding to steam. Needless to say I don't agree with the negative comments on here.
