Rising Tide is actually meant to be set an undefined number of years after the first wave of colonists have made planetfall and consists of factions that were more focused on fixing Old Earth instead of running away from its problems (such as INTEGR and North Sea Alliance) or decided to leave too early before better propulsion technology was developed (such as Al Falah who left on generation ships instead of cryogenic "sleeper" ships). So is the expansion pack as good as the Steam user reviews make it out to be (83% of 404 reviews) or have they irrevocably ruined the original formula?
After purchasing the expansion pack and playing for about 24 hours (which consisted of a few games in single player and multi player) I am now ready to review it. So when Firaxis announced they were releasing an expansion pack called Rising Tide, I was pretty excited.
Consequently the game rated well on Choicest Games, receiving an 8/10.
Despite the game not being the next Alpha Centauri I liked the hard science-fiction backdrop, the epic soundtrack, the greater Civ customisation options and the non-linear tech tree. When the base game Beyond Earth was released the game received positive reviews from the critics but received mixed reviews from the gaming public with a 52% (Mixed) rating on Steam from over 13,000 reviews.
