After all these years, the game's AI is still incredibly buggy. Owned ships randomly crash into stations without even notifying the player. Just happened to me while I didn't realize it, I docked 3 times, now I don't have an autosave to recover my very valuable ship and I basically lost many hours of play. And it happens again and again. What a sad state after all these years.
[h3]Victory or dead is dead[/h3] Immersive sand box-esque space sim, build a galactic merchant fleet or become an ace pilot hunting xenon across the known galaxy. Heavy time sink's assigned to some achievements. Dead is dead requires you to play defensively, as your save is loaded into cloud & is deleted on death. Download the free DLC is a must! 8/10 Average completion time: Your milage may vary Number of achievements: 33 Difficulty: average Replay-ability: 1 full playthrough+iron man (dead is dead) Online playerbase: None applicable

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Egosoft is 12 german dudes in a trenchcoat who love space as a concept first and design games as a distant afterthought. Lots of 'vibes' here. Cool background music and great ship designs to drool over. The actual gameplay is passable at best. Like Bethesda games you'll need to install some extra ♥♥♥♥ to make it playable: First is the bonus pack. You can find in the DLC section on steam or from the Egosoft website directly. Then there is the vanilla safe mod list: Egosoft forum topic 278257 There is a great steam guide for this game all about modding the game without getting the modded tag. To check in game you look at the bottom of your pilot stats for yellow text, if it's not there then you're good. With that said. I really cannot suggest actually trying to do the plots in this version of the game. They are like pulling teeth. Playing X without the station building script is agony. You get that script with the default bonus pack in the next game, Albion Prelude. That script alone is why I would suggest AP over TC any day. So if you're going to play TC, then forget achievements and instal the station builder script.
Игра ощущается как-то так. О Аргоняне, о Земленяне ох тыж болванки АИИ, и Бороны с щупальцами и сигма Сплиты и ваще ничо не понятно, но очень интересно
This has got to be some sort of joke. This does NOT have controller support despite literally showing a controller schematic in game. Also, no idea how to turn the music down (tried many different ways in volume music but nothing worked 🙃) which would be REALLY nice because someone decided the music is vastly more important to hear than whatever the narrator is trying to say. Literally can’t hear what they’re saying at all.
Always loved this game. one of the better space games, old but definitely good and fun for many many many many hours :)
Compared to X2-The Threat and X3-Reunion, this one is even harder than X3-Reunion, more time consuming before you hardly notice any ranking improvements necessary for buying better goods/stations/ships. In X2 you were settled after the first 4-7 plot missions, had a good view on the universe and the ship speeds and maneuvrability felt better. This one just feels vast and soo very slow to do anything, like a time trap scam even with SETA; ships and stations are even more expensive than in former games + the barrier to buy is not only money, but also reputation.
absolutely hate this game, the UI and controls are the worst I have ever seen. be it using keyboard / mouse or x box controller. flat out sucks. save your time and play something else, this game belings on the crap pile
Timeless game. Be prepared to give a lot of your time. Try not to cheat, as tempting as it is.
