X4: FOUNDATIONS, the long awaited sequel in the successful X series, brings our most sophisticated universe SIMULATION ever. Fly every ship, EXPLORE space or manage an empire; TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD and THINK carefully, while you embark on an epic journey.
Although X4: Foundations is more accessible than X1-X3, it is not a game for casual gamers. You'll have to work hard to learn the mechanics that underpin Foundations, but if you put in the work, you'll be rewarded with an experience that can last well over 100 hours. Where most space games see you as a lonely soul in a single ship, X4 lets you create...
An ambitious, complex sandbox space game that allows you to do almost anything from spacewalking to commanding a carrier with a fleet of ships onboard. A steep learning curve and an inconsistent interface mar an excellent return for Egosoft's flagship series.
A difficult game, slow and complex, but in which we can do practically everything to build our galactic empire. A must for veterans of the saga.
Foundations is more of the same niche-scratching space exploration from previous iterations with a more immersive feel and I can't wait to dive back into my personal galaxy. For those that have been watching the X series from the outside, Foundations is a great entry point, provided you meet the beefy system requirements.
X4: Foundations is a far superior game to the last outing and is already on the right path to success, thanks to Egosofts diligent work in fixing issue s and enhancing the game. However, in its current state, it's still lacking core elements that help to make the game what it could be.
