A lot of fun, if you're into that kind of thing. I enjoy ETS2, but it's fairly 1 dimensional; with this I can trade goods, haul trailers, smuggle contraband all whilst staying alive and keeping my space truck operational. Having story elements and voice acted missions to do is what sets this apart for me.

Only a few hours in and there have been so many improvements since the first.

One of the few games I've 100%

This game and Black & White are my all-time favourite games, I've each for countless hours over the last 25 years. Come on Peter/EA, let's get some remakes please!

I am new to the series, but no stranger to X4 games especially titles like Stellaris and Endless Space 2 which are two of my favourite and most played games. I was unaware about this series until this game popped up as a recommendation, I picked it up over Christmas and I think I have fallen in love with it.

This game feels like a breath of fresh air, it feels a lot like Stellaris in many ways, there are many shared ideas but they are executed differently. In particular its nice to have a big open map to freely roam and explore. The Core World and Colony planet mechanics are great and its fun to see how the logistics of resources and production can move between your planets. The leader system is simple yet impactful. No game is perfect but there is a lot to love about this game and it may just scratch that itch like it did mine.

Fallout/Skyrim in space, what's not to like?

Amazing game, it's come a long way. There's always plenty to do and the available mods spice up the gameplay. The new Raytracing options look fantastic. A lot of playstyle variety too with numerous builds and skills.

Lots of fun, recommended.

I love balancing policies up against voters and moving around the political spectrum. There's a lot this game can teach about politics, employment, the economy and taxes but most of all how tricky it is to make ends meet despite good intentions.

Likely a lot of replayability.

Very addictive, so much attention to detail. Hogwarts is MASSIVE!
