UncategorizedNew Expansion Can’t Save A Dour Civilization Game
Time has not been kind to Civilization: Beyond Earth. I found it a passable strategy game at review, but the longer I stuck with it afterwards—particularly after I went back and remembered how amazing Civilization V still is—the more I went sour on it.
