    The game was released as unfinished half product, overly complicated, super demanding and buggy, it got forgotten as fast as it deserved. I would rather go all the way back and play X2 again.

    Au bout d'un an de patches (!), le jeu est plutôt jouable, stable mais encore buggué quoique qu'on ne sache pas si c'est en raison des mécaniques de jeu périmenazes et absconses ou simplement de purs vrais bugs résultant de l'incompétence notoire d'Egosoft qui fait pourtant le même simulateur spatial pourri depuis des années. Les deux sans doute.

    L'interface au pad 360 est bizarre mais presque correcte tout comme les menus à la fois laids et peu pratiques. En vérité, rien n'est vraiment "pratique" dans un X, tout est pensé en dépit du bon sens. Le commerce est incroyablement lourd à gérer, même l'exploitation minière est un pensum. Les combats sont moyens, on est loin des vieux standards de référence (des années 90 !) en la matière !

    Techniquement parlant, c'est toujours aussi joli (mais diablement exigeant... l'optimisation est clairement absente) sauf les personnages horriblement modélisés, un massacre ! X Rebirth est tout en français avec un doublage plutôt correct. Dommage que ça n'aide pas vraiment à jouer ce jeu kafkaïen. Je n'ai pas le temps (à perdre) pour circonvenir les limitations bordéliques d'un jeu programmé par la même bande d'incapables depuis des décennies. Egosoft, vous êtes des clowns.    … Expand

    I take it all back, this game hasn't improved anywhere near as much as I hoped it would and what we are left with is a drastic decrease in quality compared to the games preceding it.

    Despite having been released over a year ago and receiving many patches, the game still severely underperforms on high-end hardware and does not have compelling gameplay.

Expect to spend 80% of your play time flying back and forth through transparent space tubes, 10% flying around space stations within 10 meters of the hull to scan information points and giving trade orders to your ships, and the last 10% pew-pewing spaceships with one weapon at a time.

    Here are some of the game's shortcomings:

    * Boring gameplay consisting mostly of flying through space tubes, as if you're playing some sort of public transit passenger simulator rather than a space game.
    * Vastly fewer weapon options with no ability to fire multiple weapons simulatenously.
    * You can only pilot one ship unlike previous games, where you had hundreds of choices in many ship categories, from scouts to carriers to freighters.
    * All objects in space are inexplicably surrounded by protective bubbles that absorb all damage from collisions, making the few precious moments spent outside space tubes even less exciting.
    * A lot of tasks needlessly require the player's presence, such as chauffeuring ship officers from stations to the ships where they are to work.
    * When talking to NPCs, you must wait for them to finish talking before your commands take effect, given the fact that a particular zone may have dozens of NPCs of the same type offering their services, this makes finding specific goods very annoying.
    * You are forced to use a cockpit, wasting 30% of your screen on what is essentially a static model with some flashing lights here and there. A discreet HUD overlaid on an unobstructed view of space would be vastly superior for many players.
    * The draw distance is depressing, with objects conspicuously popping in as you travel inside space tubes.
    * The 4 different sectors are basically palette swaps of each other with a few cosmetic differences (a cracked planet here, some space debris there, etc).
    * The script and voiceovers quite obviously weren't done by native speakers, resulting in strange and immersion-breaking dialogue and pronunciation.
    * Character models and station interiors are very low-quality.
    * The Teladi look like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. This would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
    * Your co-pilot's jumpsuit has an embarrassing boob window that betrays a lack of respect for the playerbase.

    The game does feature a few improvements, however they hardly justify all its shortcomings:

    * Capital ship components can be damaged individually, adding depth to capital ship combat.
    * More piracy options, now you can not only extort and salvage enemy ships, but also hack them to release cargo.
    * Station complexes now exist as superstructures rather than individual stations connected by spaghetti strands.    … Expand

Unless you are in system with your ships they just sit there, waiting for you, instead of following their orders.

    I spent about 100 hours playing this game. Then returned to put in another 20 hours several months later. Then again several months after that.

    NOW, the developer is releasing an "expansion" yet the vanilla game features still don't work. Why are they developing new content instead of fixing the vanilla game? Well, the only thing I can come up with is that this game is so broken, fundamentally, that they can't fix it.

If you like a true space sandbox with good trading and exploration, the legacy X2 is still far better than this....

    Instead of a review, I'll write my experience with this game.

    I've waited a half year to try this because Egosoft usually takes this long to get a new X game running. I was eager to try my new Saitek X52 Pro on this one. First I went into options, like with any PC game to set some graphical stuff.

    I've waited a half year to try this because Egosoft usually takes this long to get a new X game running. I was eager to try my new Saitek X52 Pro on this one.

    First I went into options, like with any PC game to set some graphical stuff. I found the resolution was set to 1280 which was very odd, so I set it to my native res (usually done automatically in PC games, first fears of Consolitis surfaced in me).

    I read on the net, that the "story" mode is a big tutorial, so I went with that to get ready for free play.
    The first thing I saw was this polygon puppet that is supposed to be a woman. It looks exactly like a 3D woman looked.... back in the year 2000. I'm not exaggerating here! The character animations are on the same level and look like a mixture of zombies and robots.
    The game is (supposedly) not about character interaction though, so I thought and just ignored that and went on to fly....

    ... or not.
    The entire Joystick keybinds were completely messed up. Like this game was made for a (inferior) console and not for the PC gaming master race. So there was some Consolitis in the game. I didn't even know they released this game for a console. A space sim... really? They are MADE for PC's.
    I accepted that too, though it started to bug me...

    Anyway I went on to configure the joystick so that it was able to actually fly forward (strafe up/down; left/right were set as default instead of pitch and jaw) and use some of the functions that were unbound or bound to strange keys (autopilot, map, dock, targeting). I still had to choose menu options with the mouse and run around with kb+mouse setup. Strangely there were highlighted button names like they appear on game pads (A)... hmmm...
    I was kinda pissed at this time, but I still hoped the game was at least bug free, stable and that the free play mode later would offer some fun.

    After one hour I was ready to fly. Yippee! A big universe awaits!
    First mission: target practice!

    The game tutorial told me the highlighted stuff was showing me where to go. This was nice, the only downside was that there was no highlighted stuff. It also told me it would display the distance - but it didn't display anything, not even my flight speed.
    While I was still trying to get that display of normal HUD info up and running, which is to be expected in every space sim game since the most early ones, I suddenly lost all control of not only the ship, but also the HOTAS, the mouse and the keyboard too. The ship was now drifting towards some asteroids...
    So I half heartedly tried to solve this next obstacle... I even tabbed out of the game and tried to go back, but couldn't as it was "Not Responding".

    Well okay, then I'll not respond to it either.
    0 points for this epic wanna be space sim fail.
    Deleted.

    TL/DR:
    Wow! After a half year, this game is buggier than the alpha version of Star Citizen - Arena Commander, it surpasses all games I know in terms of unplayability and the character models and animations were directly sent here from 14 years in the past.

    In short: Consolitis, severe alpha bugs, stay away at all costs!

I never pre-ordered X-Rebirth or bought it due to the bad vibe that I was getting. I have played it extensively however recently on a friends computer and I have to say that all the negative reviews are generally spot-on. Does make me consider the mental health (or agenda) of any reviewer who can honestly give this game a rating above a 5...

    X-Rebirth was suppose to dress a lot of the issues present in the past series. So lets have a look at them.

    Interface: Did they address it? No! They've actually made it worse! What were they thinking? It also feels like it isn't even complete. There is no mission board so your left hunting, literally, for mission icons on stations to just pick up a job.

    AI Pathfinding/Auto-pilot: Even with the 2.0 patch lately, the AI is still horrendous and simplified compared to the previous game.

    Map Size: I've often read on the forums of a poor defense argument when it comes to the map size. Some will say that while there is less sectors (only 4) they are a LOT bigger than your average sector. True. But an easy rebuttal is that if you combine just 8-10 sectors from the previous game you would come up with one whole sector, and considering the previous game had around 199 sectors, yeah... See my point? 4x10 is just 40 sectors! Course I've not gotten my measuring tape out but it's quite obvious that the map has been downsized. I'd imagine that will increase later on with paid DLC, O YAY!... (Sarcasm)

    Graphics: Again, another area in game development that has suffered, strangely enough. You'd imagine this would be an area of development that would have improved, but no! The shaders, while the 2.0 patch has improved them slightly, are still poor. Station interiors are horrendous. NPC's still look like plastic dolls. Stations themselves look like their made out of shiny plastic and the ship designs are, well, crap...

    Player Mechanics: Ah yes, a topic that has been discussed to death on the forums prior and post release. Egosoft did their best in trying to PR this disaster in stating that the restriction on player ships would no way hamper gameplay, instead, we would have drones to make up for it! Err... Yay? Egosoft made some excuses, prior to release, that such a limitation was there because THEY decided that it be more fun that way. That's right, they figured it wasn't fun to fly other ships and instead more fun to fly just the one! Yes, Bernd did state as such on the forums. Now we know they were just trying to coddle us.

    With the arrival of the 2.0 patch, or as I call it, X-Rebirth 1.00, there has been some bug fixing, interface improvements and general across the board touch-ups. But, regardless of any future 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 patches, I can't see them fixing the core of the game which is a shoddy mess of design. No matter how many patches/dlc is released, X-Rebirth will still be X-Rebirth at the end of the day, and that's a bad thing.

    I love the X-Series. X3TC is by far my favorite (along with some mods) so I had high hopes for X-Rebirth despite my misgivings about the 1-ship deal. Unfortunately X-Rebirth is one of those rare games in which there is nothing in it that I can honestly say I like. That's an achievement for someone like myself who loved the series.    … Expand

    This is an absolutely terrible game. As in, really bad. The 2.0 update doesn't really fix it, instead I found it even less playable. If you get a free copy and your time is worth nothing, then this is probably a game to pick up. Otherwise you are better off staring at your bedroom walls. The only reason I give it one point is that there is still Garry's Incident.

    X Rebirth? More like X Stillbirth. This isn't a game, it's a waste of your money. Technically the game is horrid, grinding to 10-15fps on high end machines. Gameplay-wise the game is horrid with early 2000's style wooden npcs and horrific off-ship play. Did I mention the bugs? You'll spend more time trying to figure out how to work around bugs than you will actually playing the game.

    If, however, slamming your dick in a car door for an afternoon sounds appealing then this just might be the game for you.    … Expand

    The only thing this game shares with the legendary X series is the name. A more appropriate title would have been X - Stillbirth. Practically everything that made the previous X games great is missing.

    Garbage. I've played ALL the previous games in the series, i have a few hundred hours in X1 and X2, and a few THOUSAND in X3, X3 AP and X3 TC, in this game I have a little over 20 and I am already **** sick of all the **** boring gameplay, console interface, clunky controls and horrible bugs it has. Avoid at all costs, I wish I could get my 60 euros back and get into Elite Dangerous Beta instead.

    I per ordered this game and waited this long to write a review.

    I gave EGOSOFT plenty of time to offer something as a way of compensating those who bought an unusable game and had to wait for updates. and we got nothing. So this game gets the lowest score i can give. I'll even come back and change my score if EGOSOFT starts to compensate for the broken game.

    h bin der Meinung vieler der vorherigen Rezensenten, daher fasse ich mich sehr kurz.

    Dieses Spiel in der jetzigen Form raus zu bringen ist einfach nur frech, dreist und unverschämt. Ein halbfertiges Produkt, welches entgegen der Behauptungen in den diversen Interviews im Grunde genauso schwer und unübersichtlich vom Einstieg her ist. Das Tutorial selbst ist ein Witz, man wird von A nach    h bin der Meinung vieler der vorherigen Rezensenten, daher fasse ich mich sehr kurz.

    Dieses Spiel in der jetzigen Form raus zu bringen ist einfach nur frech, dreist und unverschämt. Ein halbfertiges Produkt, welches entgegen der Behauptungen in den diversen Interviews im Grunde genauso schwer und unübersichtlich vom Einstieg her ist. Das Tutorial selbst ist ein Witz, man wird von A nach B gescheucht, Verständnis für Zusammenhänge muss man sich selbst zusammensuchen.

    Bugs ohne Ende, selbst bei einer Tutorialmission fehlen Missionsbeschreibungen und genaue Orders. Stellt man sich in einer Station direkt vor ein Lüftungsgitter und öffnet dieses, wird man wie von einem Gabelstapler von dem Gitter in die Luft gehoben und in eine Position gebraucht, in der man sich nicht mehr bewegen kann - natürlich kann man das Gitter auch nicht wieder schließen - hier hilft dann nur der Shortcut um sich direkt ins Raumschiff versetzen zu lassen.

    Die Grafik ist im Weltraum ganz ordentlich, auf den Stationen allerdings unterirdisch schlecht. Außerdem ist "Leben" auf den Stationen wirklich was Anderes. Ein paar lieblos hingeklatschte NPCs und das wars. Der Aufbau ist zudem in den Innenräumen immer gleich. Ich könnte mit Kritik nun hier noch gefühlte Ewigkeiten fortfahren, aber ich habe keine Lust mehr, mich mit dem Spiel zu beschäftigen und Ihr sicher nicht aufs Lesen.

    Mein Fazit: Ich bin unsagbar enttäuscht von Egosoft. Alles im Vorfeld war nur PR-Gelaber. Ich sehe auch den Grund, warum keine Demo und kein ordentliches, unabhängiges Review da war / gewünscht war. Ich kann nur jedem raten, sich das Geld zu sparen - das Spiel ist es einfach nicht wert.
    Mein Wunsch, ein kleines deutsches Entwicklerstudio zu supporten, war leider übermächtig der Vernunft. Nie wieder.

    Rebirth lacks inspiration, purpose, good ideas. It's riddled with bugs and, even when it seems to work, it manages to be dull. There isn't any true reason to play it.

    Instead of giving the series a new life the developers buried it and the patches are a classic case of ‘too little, too late’. There’s a lot of things you can forgive this game but not the fact that it’s boring. [02/2014, p.58]

    X misses the spot. The occasional bit of spectacle can't save this boring, broken and charmless space simulation. [March 2014, p.60]
