ABOUT THE GAME

X4 is a living, breathing space sandbox running entirely on your PC. Thousands of ships and stations trade, mine and produce, all realistically simulated. In this universe, you can grow from being the lone pilot of a fighter ship, to managing a vast empire, commanding your fleets and designing colossal space stations. Transition seamlessly from first-person action, boarding ships and visiting their bridges, to an expansive strategy and management simulation. Choose your own path at your own pace. The decisions are yours. Trade - Fight - Build - Think. In X4, you can start your journey from a number of different gamestarts and as a number of different characters, each with their own role, set of relationships and different ships and technologies to start with. No matter how you start, you are always free to develop in any other direction. Focus on exploration, make money with illegal trading and theft, command large battle fleets or become the greatest entrepreneur ever. It's all up to you to decide.

X4 allows you to fly all ships personally. From small scouts over a wide range of ship classes up to the biggest carrier, everything can be piloted from the cockpit or an external view. A big focus in the development of X4 has been to achieve a seamless and immersive experience when moving between ships. You can leave a ship, climb down a ladder, walk over the dock of a large space station into another ship you may have parked there and replace the pilot that was working for you just by clicking on his chair.

Decent game... if you have a very powerful PC
Getting straight to the point. the price point is okey. i managed to snag it for £28. And the deep empire and fleet driven systems and sandbox feeling to the universe is refreshing. You can trade, scavenge, salvage, fight, explore, build etc etc. think of a mix of eve and 4x elements but you actually get to see in first person in the cockpit and you controlling your ship directly.

But all this comes at a cost. The game is heavily CPU unoptimised so it means you need a BEEFY cpu in order to run effectively especially at mid and later stages of your playthrough. this is because fleets engaging other factions fleets start becoming common place. and more AI is filling the world which means more processing power. the game also needs about 32GB of ram which is completely fine but its the speed of said ram that matters. it needs a high frequency in order to run smoothly.
The Pros
- Universe is huge and expansive with plenty to do
The Cons
- Unoptimised as hell. Requires a beefy CPU and fast RAM

Good example of open world
A great example of how an open world should be with organic events happening around the player. Economy, invasions, dynamic stations being destroyed and rebuilt by ai; it's a taxing game but easy to get lost in.
The Pros
- Great open world
The Cons
- Complex
