    An okay addition

    Being a huge fan of the Sid Meier's Civiliization franchise, I had high expectations for this addition. However, it could definitely use some improvements. The manual is much smaller than what you would expect and it tells you to refer to the tutorial a lot. The tutorial leaves a lot to be desired. Instead of walking you through the game, it is just a series of pop ups that occur when you do something new. Also, it takes a lot longer to build everything in this game and it can get a bit tedious. There are also fewer victory types and it is extremely hard to achieve them. I do like the trade system and the professions that you can give your colonists. Overall, it is a lot of fun to try out the new features and changes, but it can get old after a while.
