Loot, escort, trade, kill, it’s all an option as the game never limits you so long as you have true grit. You are given free rein to do whatever you want, and you make your way in the universe any way you see fit. While you aren’t allowed to make your own character, there are multiple premade choices as far as race and stories to pursue from the onset.Īfter you select your character, the universe is your oyster. You are plopped into a vast universe as a character with your ship and a personal quest. Gameplay remains the same as it has ever been in the X series. On the whole, Foundations succeeds in its attempt to be more accessible, but some of the new elements show that Egosoft might have bitten off more than it could chew.īefore we set out on this, I feel the need to declare that I skipped over X Rebirth after it got savaged by critics and fans alike so my perspective on changes comes from X3: Terran Conflict.

With X4: Foundations, it’s very obvious that Egosoft has tried to alleviate some of its past mistakes of being too cumbersome for newcomers, as well as implementing newer features that other space hauling series have introduced. It has also been one of the harder series to get into with previous iterations offering little to no introduction. The X series has a storied history of being the top in the space trading and combat simulation genre.
