X4: Foundations

C'est pas du Nintendogs.

Best use of Germany's economic incentive funds.

Been a fan since I first played X3 back in 2005. Very immersive game with so much to do. X4 has come a long way since it first launched, with Egosoft constantly updating and improving the game with free content updates and paid DLCs, all of which have been worth paying for, and they're not done yet. Put 1000 hours in and just starting a new playthrough now, game is addicting. If you're looking for a space sim where you can fly ships and also manage a galactic empire, look no further.

It's a big learning curve...but I think it will be worth it. I look forward to being good at this!!!

Not an easy game to get into, you will need some patience, but absolutely worth it.

one of those sandbox games where you ask your self, can i do this and the answer is almost always yes, and if not theres a mod for it. Worth every penny

So, X4. I have well over seven hundred hours in this game at the time of writing this review. The game itself is difficult to quantify; the learning curve can be very, very steep - but that entirely depends on how one plays the game. I've happily putted about in my little trashy ship for dozens of hours exploring. I've also gotten into dogfights with alien aggressors (in a significantly more survivable ship). I've even directed both offensive and defensive fleet engagements from the bridge of a battleship as escorting destroyers hurl death into space in desperate bids to swat down oncoming bomber wings before they cripple my ships. I have agonized over the placement of a single resource probe, and I've overseen the wholesale harvesting of entire systems. I've gone from exulting over finding a single crystal I could sell for 10,000 to building a massive self-sustaining shipyard capable of producing anything a customer with enough cash could ever want. I've witnessed battles right outside my station when two factions that hate each other discover their ships had completed at exactly the same time; which leads to yet more orders very soon after the lightshow ends. A player can go from zipping about the very detailed stations, to designing their own stations, to realizing that he's been staring at various menus for days... and are having fun the entire time. This game is from a small team, but with a gigantic passion; and it shows in every facet of the game. Both good, and bad. The gameplay loops are excellent, but the UI is clunky and initially difficult to navigate. The ships and stations are a joy to behold, but the human (and alien) character models are hysterically awful. The game does have mission trees, but the heart of the game is a sandbox - so please keep that in mind. To summarize: Over seven hundred and forty hours playing this game. X4 is not without it's faults; but I love it despite, or perhaps even for, them.

Hra je skvělá, tohle je přesně to co měl být Star Citizen už před 10 lety. Přímý potomek legendárního Freelancera. Tohle má budoucnost. Je tam neskutečné množství možností a poprvé si člověk může postavit flotilu lodí, kterou zaúkoluje a ono to funguje.
