The verdict...

[Jeje2]

I was playing Civilization Beyond Earth and little princess (4½years) looked at the screen pointing and said:
Daddy, I think that is a booring game

So there you have it - the verdict is in.

Maybe it was boring because you were playing instead of her.

What the game needs is a good "Frozen" mod to appeal to that demographic.

"One more turn, one more turn,
my family don't know me anymore.
I don't care, Wesselton invaded me,
war never bothered me anyway ..."

Meh, if there isn't't shooting and flashing lights then kids aren't entertained.

So I finally tried it during the still ongoing Free Weekend and i'm not sold.

The GUI sadly nonconsistent, for example the button to return to the Main Map is not at the Same position from City Screen as from Tech Screen.
Also the TradeRoutesystem is nonuserfriendly in a harassing way.
The Quest System, as in Endless Legend does not scale to the Current Situation (Kill Siege Worm with pretty bad reward)
Leader Personality: lol
Victory Screen: Worst one in any Civ, no expansion map, no arbitrary Title?

I quite liked the Update System though, really reduced the Clutter of obsolete Units
