![]() Quests have become far more interesting than they once were. “Gene” can be used to describe a food-based or a health improvement building. Not much difference there.) Similar buildings share similar descriptive words as well. The only thing indicating that a building is a wonder is the smooth circle surrounding it.(Instead of a circle with points, which indicates a normal building.I can’t tell what your weird combination of arrows and squiggles is supposed to stand for as an armored troop.) (I can tell what an archer is with a tiny picture or what the Hoover Dam looks like with just a glance. When pictures were used in the older games, they were immediately identifiable. This game tries to use bright colors to create a more futuristic feel, but it also uses such a small palette that everything feels the same.While we are used to it from previous installments of Civilization, there are two things lacking from the icons: The disappointing part about the tech web is the use of iconography. (Which will save you from suffering through the choppy mess that was Civilization V’s opening.) It does mean that you will have to wait through a launch screen while the game loads, but you can still skip the movie. A huge improvement over Civilization V is that the game doesn’t try to load the game behind the cinematic, making both the intro and the game much smoother. This initial cutscene actually has a short story that leaves you with a sense of dread for what the human race had to do leaving earth. When you first open Beyond Earth, you are treated to the usual cinematic intro that graces every game in the franchise. If you expect a game that serves the franchise well by using an already proven game engine with a few tweaks, more like Colonization did, you will enjoy this new chapter. If you’re expecting Beyond Earth to resemble Alp ha Centauri or stand alone as its own game in the Civilization series, you’re going to be disappointed. This chapter effectively continues the story of the human race after building a spaceship at the end of Civilization V, much like Alpha Centauri did. Beyond Earth is the most recent chapter in the Civilization franchise that has become synonymous with turn-based strategy.
