Populous: The Beginning was received generally favorable reviews on release. Reviewers were especially smitten with the immersive 3D graphics;[9][12] Edge stated that "previous Bullfrog games have always placed gameplay above graphical finesse, but that's no longer the case."[20] GameSpot's reviewer appreciated how The Beginning was a daring revamp of the series, instead of a safe, slightly modified sequel (like the earlier Populous II).[21] Computer and Video Games rated The Beginning as a "better play" than the original.[4]
