Steam Forum completely locked down.E: I completely missed that Firaxis gave their Steam forum multiple categories. Thanks u/Zakat for pointing this out.AndIt's getting a lot of negative reviews even from 'the industry' and Firaxis-friendly youtubers, and on the Steam forums.Every new thing I learn about this game makes me like it even less, and I've been a huge Civ fan for two decades (I've bought Civ IV complete three times.)
It's amazing that YouTubers engaged in access journalism are capable of more honest interrogation of these products than journalists engaged in access journalism because the YouTubers are actually fans who want to see good products even with their inherent bias (and slight corruption).
The real question is: "Are you an Alpha Centauri fan?"
I've played the game and it's two "spiritual sequels" (Final Frontier, and Civ:BE), but I find the dated interface/mechanics, along with the relative lack of modding capabilities detracts a bit from my enjoyment of it.
But the writing is fantastic. I'll just leave this here.
