Definitely a worth while DLC. If like me you found the game too easy before, this should give you a bit more of a challenge.

This helps prolong games by adding extra challenge late-game, where the old infamous "late game utopia" used to be. It's more content, it's balanced content, and it's good content.

I recommend it, especially if you thought the original game got too easy after the first 50 or so quarters. Even if you didn't, I still think it's probably worth it, because it also adds new interesting laws, and achievements - like raising overall life expectancy to 85.

Good ideas
Interesting Events
Realistic Future Problems

Poor Implementation
No options or progress towards fully solving given problems

Okay let's start with the good things, this DLC gives you more policies and events that spice up the game quite well! The give you more futuristic based things that you can look forward to solving in future. The leisure based society where robots do all the work is interesting and the progress and productivity that can be gained from such a society is truly an interesting view of the future and the way you can take your society.

Now not to jump to the bad in such a hurry but I feel that the bad does outweigh the good in this DLC... there is a problem with the given ideas and events in that they are basically unsolvable. You cannot work towards a goal to solve the crisis completely. Things like the rare earth crisis should be able to be dealt with by scientific progress in synthetic materials or creating new ones to fulfill the rare ones roles and it should be the same with the water problem, you should be able to work towards a scientific answer and solution to solve this. These are permanent unsolvable problems. No matter what you do with your society, no matter how good you are with the environment. These problems will always be here. There is also the issue of cost. Things like climate change cost billions and billions to sustain and once again will never come with a full solution or cost reductions over time as you deal with the problems.

This DLC is great if you want constant unsolvable problems that you have to accept can never be fixed regardless of the logic involved and carry on with your society while completely ignoring them regardless of how much damage it does to said society. I suppose it makes the game at the end a little bit less boring but it doesn't make it feel particularly worthwhile as I personally thought the whole point of this game was to give us the options to do with our society what we wish to solve the given problems of the day.

If you cannot solve the problems given, how can you move forward with your society?

Adds tons of end-game content, but adds events like water shortage that are impossible to fix after a point in the game due to time being an active constraint, besides the time 9/10 for the bunch of extra things to strive for.

Had to tweak the setting files to reduce the impact of year on average temperature, water supply, and food shortage. A lot of the ideas in this DLC are great but the multiplier values should be fixed to be less punitive. I still want to win the game and even playing with every environmental setting turned on from the beginning wouldn't let me avoid a punitive average temperature based on year.

I have always wanted to know what would happen if robots took over the job industry and this is an issue that is very much realistic and will happen in the future. It is interesting to see the many ways this could affect the society.

Cool new options, lots of new problems,
There is 1 MASSIVE issue,
GDP is so volitiles its INSANE, its lexes by 40% at least once a year in either direction. Its too inconsistant, I turn off this DLC when im having fun, But it is cool for a while.

Lots of fun on a Germany playthrough, however the U.S. playthrough is impossible. On turn 2-3, you'll get rare mineral shortage and be unable to counter since to keep your economy from spiralling down the drain and causing irreversible problems (at least in one election cycle). It only makes it worst that a water shortage happens around the same time which leads to food shortage which makes the playthrough even more impossible.

Every American playthrough I've done has ended with me being assassinated by fringe groups in my first term.

I'm unsure. Getting rare earth crisis and water shortage on second turn is negative, plus that cannot be solved by any means. That deserves a fix.

This dlc is amazing and very fun 24/13 a must buy
