"The game it always should have been"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I purchased Beyond Earth originally with great anticipation and was, like many I suspect, very disappointed with what felt like a clunky half-finished game. Rising Tide has fixed that. The play-ability has increased dramatically, with cross-overs among virtues, the personality management and the interaction with other players. The expansion to the game background is also welcomed. Well done team – but please do it like this first time next time!

"This is what the game should have been from the start"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Beyond Earth was a great disappointment. The content was just not there. There was little space for strategy, and it became monotonous very quickly. However, Rising Tide certainly added a fair bit of both content as well as strategic options – the latter can to a large extent be found in the diplomacy screen, and I don't actually mean the diplomacy which is still very unsatisfactory, but the affinity screen and the personal attributes screen that can be found there are very very useful indeed and open up a host of new variation of game play. Still some broken bits. Aliens will go from friendly to savage attacks without any explanation. There is at least one quest that's broken since it depends on your building a unit that you will have upgraded in the meantime, and it does not recognize that. But, still, this dlc certainly makes the game into what it should have been at release. It's a bit of a travesty in my opinion that they put a price tag on it that is the same as the base game. They should've published it as a patch.

"Definitely an improvement"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

They have improved Beyond Earth a lot with this expansion, but it still isn't quite as good as Civ 5. The victory conditions are still weird.

Description

After the first wave of great colony ships departed Earth, the jubilation of humanity was short-lived. Those left behind fell into a violent struggle over the quickly-diminishing resources on their barren home world. From this tumultuous time, two new factions arose. These newcomers were grounded not in the idealism of their predecessors, but on opportunism, resilience, ruthlessness, and above all a commitment to their own survival.

Now, many decades after their first landfall on a new planet, the proud survivors of the first expeditions beyond Earth look up to see the skies darkened by a new breed of pioneers.

Beyond Earth extended the Civilization franchise from its historical setting into the possible futures of science fiction. Rising Tide extends Beyond Earth to new frontiers on the planet’s surface and beneath its seas, adding even more choices and diplomatic options as you continue to build “just one more turn” toward a new vision for the future of humanity.

Features:

  • Colonise the Ocean: Build floating settlements and access natural resources hidden beneath the seas of the alien planet. Alien beasts with unique abilities inhabit the water and challenge the player in new ways. The ocean provides a fully replayable map, new gameplay mechanics and strategic possibilities for players to reign supreme on their new world.
  • Dynamic Leader Traits: Players and AI Leaders alike unlock new Traits through gameplay and activate different combinations to respond to the changing world. These dynamic sets of Traits also provide benefits and add to the new Diplomacy system, governed by the new Fear and Respect attributes.
  • New, Enhanced Diplomatic Options: Shape the diplomatic landscape by using political capital to upgrade your traits, change diplomatic relationships, and leverage the benefits of your allies’ traits.
  • New Sponsors: Four new factions have been added to the game including Al Falah, nomad explorers descended from wealthy and resilient Middle Eastern states that possess a rich cultural and commercial heritage.
  • New Artifact System: Collect and combine powerful relics to unlock new perks, unit upgrades, and buildings for your faction on the new world.
  • New Hybrid Units: Affinities are competing visions for the future of humanity. By investing in multiple Affinities, rather than specialising in just one, players can unlock special hybrid Affinity units and upgrades.
  • New Biomes: Two new world types have been added. Primordial worlds are rife in volcanic activity and the chaotic landscape of a world still forming. Frigid worlds have cooled in their great age, their surfaces covered with icy oceans and frozen tundra.
