X4: Foundations

Game is neat. The ship and station designs are really cool. The physics are pretty decent, but there are some instances of jank, and the missions are interesting enough to keep me entertained. My favorite part of the game is just travelling through warp gates and on super highways because it's really fun just zipping around all over the place. The UI is what detracts the most from the game in my opinion. It can be annoying at times to navigate, and I've spent more time so far in google trying to figure out how to do something than I have actually playing, but more and more I'm figuring it out and it's somewhat exciting to have so much to learn and do. I also noticed that there doesn't seem to be any kind of atmospheric flight and no landing on planets so if you're looking for something like No Man's Sky or Star Citizen then it may not be for you. However, if you just want some good flight, decent combat, and missions that don't break any time you try to do anything like in Star Citizen, then this game should provide you with the experience you're looking for.

This game is amazing, i love the complexity of managing an economy and an empire and the fact that you arnt forced into a singular playstyle. Trader, Conqueror, Pirate, its a true sandbox experience. It isnt for the light of heart however, managing stations, fleets, other aspects of your empire requires going through a very in depth economy and management systems. If you are a boomer or a COD Kid, this game does require you to use your brain for once, however it isnt as difficult as these negative reviews are making it out to be. There is a LOT of information out there, so much in fact that i have been able to get almost all of my questions about the game answered with just a quick google search or asking gemini. If your looking for a good space sim or a single player version of eve online, this is the game for you and it is really good.

也是玩了几百个小时了，说说我自己的评价吧 优点：覆盖面真的很广，你能想到的绝大部分太空玩法都有，画面不是很好但这让我这种老电脑也能带动。可以说是太空歌剧爱好者必玩之作了 缺点：成也真实败也真实，我花了约40h才算成功上手，新手引导的作用宛如电瓶车上的拼好饭，纯粹的棍母。开局学停船研究了半个小时，主线也是又臭又长。上手成本和难度不是一般的高。

i like it is one of the best space sims around in my opinion

This game has so much potential, but it absolutely does not want you to play it. I had to run to Google for help figuring out the TUTORIALS. Barely into the "story mode" - such as it is - after constantly going back to the web to find out what to do and how to do it, the very first time the game throws hostiles at me and I'm totally overmatched and destroyed. I can't remember the last time a game tried this hard to make me quit. They've made a wonderfully complex system and refuse to tell you how to use it, or why.

The game is just horrible. Weapons on small and medium ships overheat instantly. You shoot for 5 seconds, then you wait for 15 seconds for them to cool down. In addition to overheating, most weapons also have a secondary, magazine type of reload. So, it's like: shoot for 3s - secondary reload for 5s - shoot for 2s more - overheat for 15s. This is not fun. And, while big ships don't suffer from overheat that much, they are too slow and sluggish. I tried a lot of ships and a lot of weapon combinations, but none of them felt satisfying to use. They either do no damage, overheat instantly or shoot extremely slow projectiles that can't hit anything. Why couldn't you add at least one usable weapon? Why? I just want to hit some enemy ships. Please.

This game lets you start as a solo pilot and transition to an interstellar magnate or emperor- its great!
