Analysis — Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword on the Steam Machine
Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword is a 2007 release, built for PCs far older than the Machine, so frame-rate isn't the question here; controller support and text size on a TV are.
Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, Civilization IV: Warlords, lands green on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.
