Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0.2/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

Sounds great: build a space empire. Plays bad: horrible controls. I think I got this in some sort of bundle, so no money lost.
Schöne Fortsetzung von Teil 1. Die Neuerung in Sachen Handel und Grafik sind deutlich sichtbar. Als Vorbereitung auf X2 auf jeden Fall zu gebrauchen. Freue mich schon mein Handelsimperium aufzubauen. Einzig die Controller Steuerung könnte besser sein.

A good game if you like the X series with all its good and bad parts. Its more of an open world unscripted experiance with the ability to fly different ships compared to the original. The economy is also very much rebalanced and more expansive than the original XBtF. Consider it a slightly improved and complex version of XBtF as far as the open world and economy is concerned and a more basic early version of X2: The Threat, while the combat si more or less the same in all of them. I do prefer the original for its simplicity when buying new ships to help you out and less costly stuff all around but thats me.
Самостоятельное дополнение для X-BTF, правда полностью лишенное сюжета. Игра расширилась и стала чистым фри плеем, никакой цели, бесконечное развитие, что подойдет не многим.
Это хорошая игра, но у неё очень большие проблемы с актуальностью. Эта часть позиционируется чисто как песочница. Тут нет сюжетки. Если вы хотите проходить сюжет игр по порядку, то пройдите сначала в X:BTF, а потом X2. Если же хочется поиграть в песочницу, то лучше сразу X2 или более поздние части. QoL в X2 на намного выше X: Tension. Плохую оценку игре ставить рука не поднимается, но сейчас я посоветую её пропустить в пользу более поздних частей.
After starting X4 for the second time in many years, the complexity stopped me. So I thought it might be the best time to start from the beginnings. Beginnings that I was a little too young or uninterested in. My first game was X2 and onwards, but I didn't play those games in too much detail either. So I decided to pause or occasionally play X4 and start from 1999. After a somewhat boring XBF where I finished the story, bought several station, but didn't care about anything else, X-t hooked me. Slighty better graphic, the ability to control all ships, fun is guaranteed. True, the combat is very bad, and mouse control is impossible, but after trying a lot of things, completing a lot of missions, I started to miss that additional activities, especially the story. I know there is a small story after 100 hours of play, but it's just too time-comsuming. That's why I'm looking forward to revisit the sequel. For me, X-t is still worth the time invested.
Ох когда это было... Хорошая графика... Музыка вообще выше всяких похвал. Как раз тогда Начали практиковать записи из игры музыки покругу часами. Сайт ЭлитГеймс, (elite-games.ru)выкладывание музыки по мотивам, это 2000год... Сейчас можно запустить и на новом железе. Но у меня проблемы настроек и совместимости разрешений. 1920*1080*32 края уходят за край экрана сильно 8)) кому нужен мануал по игре объяснения и подробности по игре. добро пожаловать в elite-games.ru/x-tension/ Всё ещё живы.
i dont know how to play butt its a good game!
Ce jeu est d'un autre âge et cela se ressent dès l'intro (en buggant a moitié en se jouant dans le menu principal). Lorsque vous commencez une partie, le jeu vous abandonne sans aucun conseil ni contexte et vous laisse perdu au milieux de l'espace. L'attribution des touches est extrêmement étrange et non modifiable. Si vous voulez un jeu du même style, essayez plutôt Elite Dangerous qui est bien plus jouable et compréhensible.
