You&#8217;ll be locked into the new Hive Mind archetype, but it goes far beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than build cities or worry about what your population is thinking (you know what they&#8217;re thinking, because they are all you), the Wilderness evolves new mega-flora and fauna using the new Biomass resource. And once a growing planet has stockpiled enough, it can begin launching terraforming spores to spread your direct influence to other worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the Wilderness, there&#8217;s also a couple alternative player origins. Evolutionary Predators lets you cut loose with the bioengineering side of the game, unlocking and combining perks from multiple phenotypes to create an invincible super-species\u2014or just a bunch of weird scrunkly little guys. The Starlit Citadel origin catches my eye, too: A story-focused origin where you&#8217;re trying to figure out why hordes of angry living ships are trying to destroy your shiny Deep Space Citadel.<\/p>\n<p>And if playing as a big creature or being bullied by hive-minds isn&#8217;t your idea of a fun time, Biogenesis introduces one new Player Crisis scenario for those who really want to cause trouble on a galactic scaleP layers will be able to nurture their own galactic leviathan\u2014presumably once a cute little critter that fit into a fishtank that grew up (<em>so fast!<\/em>) into a planet-smashing ultra-kaiju of questionable loyalty\u2014and unleash it upon the galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing rivalling the scale of the leviathan is the price-tag.
