This is something called a "time management game". Actually you manage both time and resources. It is not an action game, and it is not an RPG. What it is basically is a nice little relaxing brain exercise. I first played Build-A-Lot on an HP laptop from around 2008-9. I was really glad to see the whole collection available here on Steam now in 2023. Definitely nostalgic and definitely relaxing. I highly recommend the whole series to anyone who wants to just kick back and zone out with something casual for a little bit. I think you will like it as long as you are not wanting something action packed or super meaningful story-wise.

Hopefully I can edit this review later when I have more hours on the game. I just finished the flight tutorial. I just want to give some first impressions, as a person with countless hours on X3, the graphics and controls in X4 have blown me away. Flying my ship is a joy in this game, and the universe appears to be quite beautiful. Being able to actually board another craft in my spacesuit is very satisfying. The menus in X4 also seem to be much more streamlined and intuitive than in X3. The weapon loadouts are certainly more intuitive. So far, the only complaint I have is the docking lights. Towards the end of the flight tutorial, the green lights I am supposed to follow would continuously have me flying headlong into the hull of the space station. I had to kind of poke around to find where I was actually supposed to dock. In X3 docking never had that issue, at least not for me. They need to fix the docking light system.

As I play more over the next few days, I will update my review if that is allowed on Steam. In the meantime, from what I have seen of X4 so far I am super stoked! I recommend it so far to fans of the X series.
