Time to Beat: 100+ hours (and still playing!)

Did I Enjoy It?
Yes, but in small doses.

What I Liked Best:
The game is well-made and highly detailed.
Gunplay feels great.
Some interesting storylines keep things engaging.
Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun with it so far.

What I Didn't Like:
Loading Screens: There are a lot of them.
The Game is Slow: You can easily spend an hour just picking up questlines with only one combat encounter.
Space Flight: It feels shallow, offering little more than short, minor encounters. I wish they had added more exploration or meaningful space-to-space gameplay.

Would I Recommend It?
Yes, it’s been enjoyable. However, be prepared to deal with a few gameplay flaws that may test your patience.

Did I Enjoy It: Yes
What I Liked Best: X4 is a complex game that satisfies my craving for in-depth gameplay. There's a lot to learn, some of which you'll need to figure out on your own, and the gameplay evolves progressively from one stage to the next. Apart from the story missions, there's no handholding. The core sections of the game are well-made, and if you want to build empires in space, this is the game for you.
Buy it with Cradle of Humanity if you want a full taste of the game, then get the other DLC anytime you like.

So far, a respectable entry into the series.

Story is no worse than Homeworld 2 (basic space magic stuff) (unless it’s homeworld 1 the story is really never going to live up to the name)
Combat could be little more in-depth but it’s got the basics right
Atmosphere is great classic homeworld style
Some fun missions in the single player

What this game is Homeworld on Skirmish mode, fun but not impactful

Main things i liked: Dave the diver has a surprising amount of variety for such a small game, it is great at keeping you entertained and feeds you new experiences right up to the end. while still have a dependable game loop i can keep playing after the main story is over.

Best survival game i have ever played
