It's okay I guess

I do not recommend this game BECAUSE:

Just as Civilization V, Civilization beyond earth is completely bare bones and not very fun or immersive WITHOUT THE EXPANSIONS[/b]

You should wait for the first expansion AT LEAST to come out and then it will most likely be more fun, immersive, etc.,

The first thing you will probably ask yourself when you look at this game is; "Is it really worth $15.00?"

Yes

I played The Binding of Isaac for a while after it came out. That game was fun, but even with the expansion, I got bored of it quick.

The new, remastered version of the game has so much more to offer.

Tons of new secrets, probably almost 5 times more items, tons of new enemies, bosses, a new floor, new endings.

You might also look at this game and say "The graphics look horrid compared to the original." You really do need to play this a little bit to get used to the new style, but it is so much better. The thing about this is that there is so much more that Edmund (and Nic) can offer. They are no longer limited to the little they could do in Flash. There is no longer any FPS drops due to Flash, even on a not-so-great computer, you can play this for hours on end, and still be able have decent or even great FPS.

There will be expansions to this, as Edmund has said (I don't know how many, but I know they are already planning the first), and the community will have more of a say to what is going to be added than the team actually creating the game.

This game will be played for years as its original has, and still is.

I hope you can push yourself to buy it, though I can tell a lot of you are hesitant to do so, and have a great time as I have and so many others have as well.
