The glorious open world they promised ended up feeling barren, the game never manages to play at over 30fps and the graphics are underwhelming. Last fall, Firaxis and 2K released Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, a spiritual successor to the much older Alpha Centauri and the first game in the series to not be set on planet Earth.
