Sure, it may seem like nothing special in retrospect, but it truly stood out at the time since it featured great-looking 3D environments and placed a greater accent on storytelling than most FPS games of that time. I think the diplomatic victory changes they're making will really change this though.Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 2, Linux, macOSĭeveloped by Valve and released in 1998, the original Half-Life was quite something. it's just an annoying popup while I'm dealing with other stuff. Sometimes it's really interesting, other times. also it's really easy to build stuff to avoid flooding, so why bother? I don't know. I personally try to avoid coal to prevent it, but. The global warming stuff is a bit awkward. The civs in this expansion are all really fun. Don't build a city adjacent to a volcano and you're fine. I was pretty worried about the disasters being annoying, but they always add positive aspects as well as negative so it's more-so variation than anything. They name all the rivers and mountains and deserts and volcanoes and it sounds really superficial but it really gives a lot of personality to the game in my opinion. Makes even the tech-tree more interesting because you unlock govt promotions. They only add positive stuff in my opinion. Governors (was that added in rise and fall?) are a great add to the game. I've had some fun with the bonuses (they help you sprint towards certain objectives- prophet, wonder, expansion, etc) but generally I could do without them. Dark/Light ages I personally think are a little tedious. Whereas the AI doesn't always do a great job and it's fun to see their cities break away. It's pretty easy for a human player to avoid losing a city to loyalty and there are several ways to counter it. Generally pleased with the changes though. Originally posted by Will:It seems like they add so much tedious♥♥♥♥♥♥that you might just have more fun without them. The fact I spent £35 on DLC and don't regret it one bit may say a lot about my sanity, but I think for a product that will happily eat away your hours and give you a more enjoyable civ experience across the entire time-line, not just early and mid game, this is one I recommend. I feel they finally gave the late game in particular a purpose and now I get the enjoyable feeling that a modern and beyond-era leader should get. New victory condition (diplomatic returns from civ 5 but in an arguably more detailed format), more stuff to do late game (focus on late game fuel while monitoring climate change and ensuring your coastal tiles don't flood! Build barriers to protect otherwise!), natural disasters provide short term risk but long term reward (volcanoes fertilise land but temporarily destroy tile improvements) and future tech and civics keep the game interesting late on. I recommend Gathering Storm, as obnoxious as its price tag is! There are much worse ways to waste £35 than into an expansion pack that does add a good chunk of replayability value to the game.
