Good, but not great
Rising Tide fleshes out the game and certainly helps Beyond Earth feel more distinct from Civ 5. The new diplomacy model and the adjustments to affinities and quests are the best the features, and the new leaders do provide at least some variation to who you'll encounter on the new world, although there really should have been more than just 4. It doesn't address one of my main complaints about Beyond Earth though, the fact that the victory types are too similar and just uninteresting.
