Galactic Junk League vs Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Galactic Junk League
Galactic Junk League is a pretty fun and competitive MMO shooter/space simulation game that has an incredible sandbox-styled spaceship crafting aspect and a unique theme which fuses good ol’ Western with a futuristic setting. The only obvious downside to the game is its very low player base, which resulted in multiple other issues, such as being not able to get into a match or getting yourself matchmade with players who are simply too high in level or unbalanced teams for the game to be fair. Hopefully, this problem will be corrected once the game is officially released and players will be able to actually enjoy playing the game.Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth lets you play as the leader of a pioneering group of spacefarers as you set off for the stars in hopes of creating a new civilization in space. The science fiction-themed in this game is a pretty far cry from the usually historical theme in the award-winning Civilization game franchise, but the game was pretty well-done mainly because it contains many of the features that had made Civilization 5 such a resounding success while changing things up a bit, such as replacing religion with affinity, just so everything is relevant to the overall theme of the game. There are also items that you can find on the alien planet that you're trying to colonize which will unlock nice storylines and quests for you to experience. And of course, there's the epic DLC, Rising Tide, which has elevated a mediocre but interestingly-themed game into an impressive one.If you're hoping for a game that's as amazing as Civ 5, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth might end up disappointing some of you, but if you consider that this is the franchise's first attempt in doing a game that's not history-based, then well, this is a pretty good first attempt for an established, triple-A series.
