Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - A New Frontier for Humanity

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a strategy game that challenges players to lead an expedition to colonize an alien planet and create a new civilization in space. The game is a new science-fiction-themed entry into the award-winning Civilization series, developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games[^1^] [^2^].

The game is set in the future, after global events have destabilized the world and led to a collapse of modern society, a new world order and an uncertain future for humanity[^4^] [^5^]. As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, players must make critical decisions that will shape the destiny of their people and their new world. Players can choose from different sponsors, colonists, spacecrafts and cargo to customize their expedition. They can also explore and colonize a procedurally generated alien planet with diverse biomes, resources and mysteries. They can research new technologies, build wonders, wage wars and engage in diplomacy with other factions. They can also adapt to the new environment by developing affinities that will unlock unique units, abilities and victories[^4^] [^5^].

The game features a single-player campaign mode as well as a multiplayer mode that supports up to eight players online or via LAN. The game also includes two expansion packs: Rising Tide, which adds aquatic gameplay, hybrid affinities, new factions and diplomacy features; and Exoplanets Map Pack, which adds six custom maps inspired by real exoplanets[^1^] [^2^].

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth is a game that offers endless possibilities for players who want to create their own history in space. The game is available for PC, Mac and Linux platforms[^4^] [^5^].The game has received generally favorable reviews from critics, who praised its sci-fi theme, its gameplay innovations, its replay value and its modding potential. However, some critics also pointed out its lack of personality, its similarity to Civ 5, its technical issues and its unbalanced difficulty[^2^]. The game has a Metascore of 81/100 based on 78 critic reviews and a user score of 5.5/10 based on 1085 ratings[^2^].

Some of the highlights of the critic reviews are:

PC Gamer gave the game a score of 87/100 and called it \"a worthy successor to Alpha Centauri\" and \"a great strategy game in its own right\" [^1^].

GamingTrend gave the game a score of 90/100 and said that \"there is plenty of both new and familiar to satisfy anyone willing to hop on aboard and see where Beyond Earth is able to take you\" [^2^].

AusGamers gave the game a score of 88/100 and said that \"after you get your head around the affinities and the tech web and the dos and donts of living on an alien planet -- it becomes a gorgeous and engaging, if not revolutionary, 4X game\" [^2^].

GamesRadar+ gave the game a score of 80/100 and said that \"Civilization: Beyond Earth may seem a bit too familiar for a game supposedly set on a distant planet, but the roving packs of aliens and the new quest system make it an expedition worth embarking on\" [^3^].

Quarter to Three gave the game a score of 40/100 and said that \"all the decisions Iâve made have snowballed into a massive unwieldy clockwork of inconsequence, lumbering towards an inevitable conclusion like a giant Katamari ball consisting of all those little decisions, none of them steering it in any meaningful way\" [^2^].

The game has also received several updates and patches since its release, addressing some of the bugs, glitches and balance issues reported by players. The latest update was released on December 20, 2015, which added support for Steam Workshop, modding tools and multiplayer maps [^1^]. 061ffe29dd
