"Accepting the limitations of birthform betrays a lack of imagination." - Civilization: Beyond Earth

  If only they would make a sequel! I don't understand why that game was poorly received.

    I'm a massive Science Fiction buff and bought the game, played it for a few hours and decided it was not for me. I think it's because I couldn't relate to the factions, if that makes sense.

      I don't quite remember the factions, but I do remember that like most Civilization games, it was significantly better with the expansions

    I think it was partly that you have to be quite well-read in sci-fi to know where the names for the tech, buildings, victory conditions etc. come from, so most people don't get an easy anchor to remember what benefits they're likely to get from their choices. Probably also didn't help that the first version had a very anti-climactic victory sequence; they improved it, but I do remember it being jarringly sudden the first time I played.
