  Foundations is more of the same niche-scratching space exploration from previous iterations with a more immersive feel and I can't wait to dive back into my personal galaxy. For those that have been watching the X series from the outside, Foundations is a great entry point, provided you meet the beefy system requirements.

  X4: Foundations is a far superior game to the last outing and is already on the right path to success, thanks to Egosofts diligent work in fixing issue s and enhancing the game. However, in its current state, it's still lacking core elements that help to make the game what it could be. Thanks to a broken in-game economy and an almost non-existent story, it can force you down paths and become boring, quickly.

  6.0

  X4 Foundations is undoubtedly a very interesting game. But it's 2018 and the competition is so huge that the long-running X series is not at the forefront of things anymore, but is barely catching up.

   X4 Foundations is a niche title. If you dream of a single-player Star Citizen, or loved games like Freelancer, then this space sandbox will be a breath of fresh air in a much too sparsely populated genre. However, even though X4 is more accessible than X1–X3, it’s not a casual game. You have to work to figure out the mechanics behind Foundations, and if you put in the time, you’ll be rewarded with an experience that can last 100 hours or more.

  7.0

  An ambitious, complex sandbox space game that allows you to do almost anything from spacewalking to commanding a carrier with a fleet of ships onboard. A steep learning curve and an inconsistent interface mar an excellent return for Egosoft’s flagship series.

  X4: Foundations bietet unvergleichliche Freiheit in einem großen Universum, doch bei Bedienung und Abwechslung hapert es weiterhin.

  Tatsächlich fühlt sich das aktuelle X4: Foundations aber viel mehr nach einem Nachfolger des Ablegers an, als dass es die Tradition der tollen Vorgänger fortsetzen würde. Entscheidend ist: Ich hatte zu keinem Zeitpunkt Spaß dieses Abenteuer zu spielen! Und das gehört zum Schlimmsten, was man über ein Videospiel sagen kann.
