Not really. It's okay, but it just doesn't do enough. It's really shallow.
I really hope this bumps the game up, I know Beyond Earth is still empty just as Civ V was at launch but this is somehow less interesting, so I'm hoping the expansion makes it worth revisiting.

BE actually has better foundations than civ5 imo, but it's missing an awful lot of content and as a result it feels like a watered down base civ 5, and when civ 5 felt a little bland before the expansions it kind of makes BE a hard sale.
It needs this expansion to be good, if it's gonna be like Gods & Kings it won't be enough.

Some of us were expecting an Ocean, but we more got a pond.

Civ5 was too at launch, but then the expansions came in and now it's atleast subjectively the best game in the whole franchise.

That doesn't make it any less shallow. It has promise sure, but if they don't do anything with it it'll just be another spin-off that never really made it. I'm also hoping this expansion will be akin to Brave New World, or at least more than Gods & Kings, and bring a lot of the base work they've made to a more interesting level.

BE isn't a bad game by any means, it just really doesn't have a lot of content to it. I played one round, won, and found myself too bored to really continue on. Hopefully this fixes it, though I'm not sure if it adds new victory conditions or not.
