very fun very different from Civ 5

structure similar to Civ 5 but very different style of play, more immersive and in-game decisions affect the outcome… very fun and compelling story behind the game as well. Not nearly as complex as Civ 5 so a bit easier to manage things (there’s no money for example and unhappiness is more about health - which is easier to manage). The aliens are very cool.
