Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™

This game is amazing. Unfortunately, the UI for newer, high definition systems is so small, it's pretty much unplayable now.

I held off on buying this when I saw the reviews saying the game wouldn't launch. It works fine for me. I am running windows on an MSI laptop and there are absolutely no problems launching the game for me at all. I guess they fixed.

Playing with just the vanilla civ experience (no mods), I can't keep to keep the game running more than a few hours. It just keeps crashing. This isn't acceptable. Happened on Windows and Linux.

Ima be real. Some of the hate is deserved, but it's a solid game. Personally, I love having an alternative to traditional civ without super modding and BE comes in clutch.

Would recommend trying if you liked Civ 5, but keep in mind it's an alien world you're on and everything about the game is new and alien too. Be prepared to relearn, decipher and use the civilopedia and search bars a lot, this is a complex game. Other than that a great new take to the series and very fun to get into. Visually vibrant

To my thinking (and I have played Sid Meier's Civ since version 2.0) this, with the Rising Tide expansion is the best yet; it's better playing on a grand scale strategy than Civ V ad Civ VI. It worked very well with some mods on Win10. As I am now on Linux Mint, I found that Aspyr's version (rework?) tends to ignore at least some mods, and it tends to crash to desktop after a while. <sad face> I have nearly 1000 hours in this Beyond Earth alone. I was nowhere near as enthusiastic about the mere base game, but the expansion really brought the game to life for me.

More customization options than classic Civ V, spy missions like Civ VI, adorable alien friends

Similar enough to the earlier versions that it's easy enough to play, but has added changes that make it interesting and challenging.

Total waste of time game crashes out midgame all the time. Cant refund cause i owned it too long before playing much. 515 turns into an Epic game, i lose a very healthy super rich town to a coup somehow. There is no cheat codes to correct the games stupid broken mechanics. Buy this game if you want to invest a bunch of time to get screwed for reasons that make no sense. I managed to roll back to an autosave and eventually derp my way through and survive, game gets super intense and then crashes out with internal civ5 errors every time on turn 693.

THE BEST CIV GAME. I don't know why but this CIV game is more enjoyable than the others. The futuristic setting is a plus. They should make a part 2 of this game :)

So from a gameplay perspecitve, I actually had a quite fun time in this Civ spin-off, but the writing is rather superficial and I always had the feeling the game doesn't take itself seriously at all. In that sense, I'm really glad the workshop offer Alpha Centauri mods ;)

Somehow, still better than Civ 7.

One of the most underrated games ever

Best game in the franchise!

pretty fun, much like civ... wish there was more

Be prepared to lose time and yourself.

Awesome game

Can get it

Ugh.
