This is a simple review of a very very large game .

First... don't listen to all those nay-sayers complaining about bad UI... they expect a game
as deep as X4 to have a 4 button UI played with 1 hand.

Do you want to be a warlord conqueror that takes all ? - you can .
Do you want to be an industrialist that feeds the entire universe ? - you can.
Do you want to be a part of epic plots that changes the political landscape of the universe ? - you can.

I am almost 500 hours into the game, i just BARELY got finished settings up the PHQ
and with a reasonably large industrial power to back it up with materials.
I'm am in the process of building the 3rd main fleet that will consist of Argon only ships.

I haven't bought the CoH DLC yet and i just bought the Split Vendetta, which brought a ton
of new sectors to explore, reputations to build and plots to solve

The devs are constantly working on improving the game, and they pay huge attention
to player feedback on the forums. I always say that X3TC is the best 4X game ever made,
and i stand by that, but X4 Foundations with or without DLC's is close second.

To wrap it up . Did you answer yes to any of the questions at the start of the review, buy X4.
