Meh.

If you're happy to wait (and pay) for DLC for a decent game then the building blocks are there. Personally, I felt Firaxis rather missed the point when the followed the market trend - deliver something incomplete and have a pay-again-to-play model. Personally, I think they got it right with XCOM - DLC was either entirely very much opional (Elite Soldier Pack, Slingshot) or an out-and-out upgrade (Enemy Within). The point is that base XCOM felt like a fully fledged game in its own right. But not Beyond Earth.

Not bad, just half baked.
