Definitely buy it, and pick up the DLCs whenever you can so you have the whole world at your feet! And for everything else, there are thousands of brilliant mods for every scenario! Buy it :)

Don't get fooled by the number of hours clocked (265 hours at review) At least 90% of that "playtime" is AFK. Real playtime is about 25h. I did get my value out of this game as i paid 12€ on sale but i DO NOT recommend full price (50€). Why is that? Yes, I bought it because there's potential. X4 has some of the best-looking ships. The scale is incredible, and building out your own faction could be satisfying. It has this nice transition form worrying about personal problems, to worrying about the state of your realm. The grandeur of things you worry about changes multiple times. The problem is that the game gives you all these beautiful ships, fleets, stations, power, money… but almost no meaningful sink for it, except more of the same. So my gripe with the game is the opposite of what people praise or hate. No, the game is not complicated it's not even complex. If you play the tutorials and pay a little attention you'll be good. I rather find it TOO bland, because all factions follow the same rules, there's one type of currency, the logic / wiring behind the whole galaxy is the same. Factions only vary in ship stats, resource use, production and requirements. The reason i don't recommend it, is because of how fast you reach a point in the game where there's nothing more to do, you've seen it all, you have it all. Yes, you can probably buy content packs at that point, but that drives the "price / fun time"-ratio down further. If you find in the future, that i have clocked in 700h in this game, you can assume i actively played and enjoyed 70h, then i will update the review to recommended. But as it stands, it's feels mostly like a mix of a walking simulator and screensaver. Endgame is looking at the map and pure number-go-up fantasy with no real money sink, besides snowballing further. All it took me to get there was snowballing to the wharf, which took 25h hours active gameplay (could have been done in much less active time if i hadn't been new to the game). The other 240h are the AFK time inbetween, waiting for the game to do it's thing (generating resources). The game has been running day and night, with me checking in before and after work to spend some resources and keep the snowball going. Yes i there's missions you could do but for what? My stations are making much more money passively than i could make in those stupid hour long missions. I won't play a 1h-fetch-quest, sorry. Most manual flying was limited to playing through the main story, which is about 8h of playtime and while it was not super bad, i wasn't a lot of fun either. It felt rather forced upon me because some parts of the sandbox are plot-locked. After experiencing most of the game, partially due to it's menu-heaviness, the game eventually starts to feel like a mix of german bureaucracy and opening a folder in windows.

このゲームは合わない人はとことんあいません。自分で何がしたいか、何をしたらいいか理解出来ない人は何も出来ないからです。人生に似てますね。 しかしこのゲームを面白いと思う人は際限なくこのゲームに時間を費やす事でしょう。人によれば人生を費やす程に。ままなりませんね。 そんな私はこのゲームを愛してやみません。このゲームを作った人達に、ただ、感謝を込めて。

Very good game. But there is one thing that makes it very anoying. Its how the out of system combat works. And you want your patrols squads to do their job and not dance around enemies indefinetely when you are not looking... You are ins system the nenemy die in seconds... not in system then enemy is immortal. That is not fun when you try to focus on managing your empire... So I dont recoment it, because its just a source of flustrations...

I know there are tons of folks who love this game. I really want to, but the crap controls make that impossible. I can never make it past scanning the Scale Plate station. It's supposed to be 'easy' but there you are with no experience, a weak ship, crap controls and a swarm of enemy fighter that blow you out of the sky. Guess I wasted some money on this one.

Bestes Weltraumsim ever. Der Soundtrack ist Top. und bei jedem Durchlauf ist alles anders. Top!!!

not sure if even the developers know how to interact with this thing. its definitely not a playable game.
