    Pretty sure you have the picture by now. Good ideas, poorly implemented.

But this is all speculation, and doesn't address that the game as-is can be close to unplayable due to buggy everything. As of now, you'd basically be paying to Beta test their game. Hard to believe it took them this long to come up with what they presented. For now, save your money.… Expand

More than one ship can be piloted including caps we need to have a working map system a way to find your own ships dispersed among the sectors a targeting system much like the previous games. A ship view and camera changing aspect to see other ships in detail and your own from third person, joystick support and fix all these damn bugs that keep me from playing the game longer than an hour and having to restart I'm fine with the graphics I can live with that. But seriously seven years to develop and it extremepoor in content and interface I want my money back as well.

    Bugs Rebirth

    I like previous X-Games, but X Rebirth is just bad. Low fps, crashes, you cannot command your ships as in X-Game, maps are terrible, many of low-polygons models, its really understanding for beginners. May be in some months you can play it.

    This is an unfinished product no matter how you slice it. Unoptimized game, not ready for release, character models are awful, sound and character dialogs make my ear bleed. Good try from egosoft, has potential, but sucks really bad at the moment. Don't buy.

    This simply doesnt happen, and theres no current gui or hub to make them do anything else. In face theres no gui or hub atall that makes even the smallest piece of sense. It lacks any real command system.

    Its like the devs were programming a game and upper management had a play on some gameplay beta, which ill credit them with that, at a very high standard of gameplay for space combat.. having enjoyed this he asks the team if the game is ready. at which the team explains 'yes but we would like to implement some fine tuning to the in game mechanics bases on previous mods, and personal experience'

    having no say in the development, knowing full well the game will be released without previous considerations from the modding community or based on previous gameplay experience, they sabotage the mechanics of the game, knowing full well nobody who made the publishing decisions will ever play the game and even if they did they would never be able to tell the difference between the beta version or the sabotaged version, because they dont know what a mod is, of have the faintest idea of what the past games represent.

    That is the only reason i can see why such a total pile of crap might even remotely be considered some kind of playable game, which it is not.

    Do NOT buy this game. The game is broken, mechanics flawed, main quests can't be finished as several of them are broken. The freedom aspect of this game is ruined, no matter how the beautiful the universe is. The economy is a lie. Everything they promised are either underdelivered or non existent.
    This is a broken console port of a game, that should never have been released at all.

    It will take a very long time with patches and mods before this becomes playable. Those who bought it can only hope EGOSOFT continues with patches and fixes.

    This game is fun when it works, but the constant need to find a work around after each crash or game stopping bug is too much for me. I give up on this game offering any enjoyment in the near future.
    This game does not deserve a score based on what it could be, fact is without looking for work around you cannot finish it.

    Played for around 7 hours, mainly playing the story. When I wasn't crashing or the AI being unresponsive it was mediocre. No where near what the other X games were. The 3 I give it is only for Graphics (Not Character Models) and Sound, they're okay. They should have stuck with what their fan-base wanted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10 for the beautiful artwork and space environment, 0 for game play and interiors.
    Overall 3 from me. I just like to fly around the outside of the stations and enjoy the artwork but the rest has been neglected. I get the impression that the budget ran out on creating different stations with diversity. Has potential if opened to a mod creation kit.

    The navigation map GUI is poor, very disappointed. If they had done something like the EVE 3d star maps would have been awesome.

    All the stations are nearly identical, even when you travel to the area that has been isolated for a generation, the bars have the same horrible music loop that has to be muted, at that point the Sci fi story completely looses credibility.

    I bought the enhanced version with extra artwork and encyclopedia and is very good.
    But the "extra" music is a ripoff, cant tell the difference, kind of a scam IMO.    … Expand

Really bad!! If you want meaningful system maps that mean anything, good look with that, and that's after you find them. It's awful,don't do it, I wish that they hadn't. They managed to take a superb game and completely mess it up. System maps are terrible, navigation is terrible, on station graphics are terrible, is there a pattern here? If you want to play a space sim go get Elite, if you can:] then play all previous X universe games, but not this one. The first is better than this and it was released in 1999, I know, I played it in 1999. I have a high end system and this game is not good, I'm putting it politely, it can't even use two graphics cards in parallel, odd considering all descent motherboards come with two full speed slots, and they have done for at least the last four years! This game has left me feeling so let down after experiencing so much with the previous games. If the developers are listening, go back and build on the previous games, forget Freelancer it wasn't even close to Elite. The X universe took Elite to the next level, almost, there is room for improvement :]… Expand

    When I first learned about X Rebirth I was astonished at the trailers and gameplay I was shown, it was being called the Rebirth of Space Sims as they come back into todays modern age.
    This game is a kick in the stomach to the above. Usually games with low scores are just called bandwagon jumpers, but for once I agree with most of what is being said. When I brought this game as a birthday present last year I was stoked, I was looking forward to trying this brand new game that would remind me of the old X wing games or just any space game in general, upon installing it I pressed play, but the game did not open, not only did it not open, but I received no crash message or errors, so I continued to keep pressing play and ended up racking about 10 minute's of gameplay just by pressing play. A couple of weeks later they released a patch which finally gives you a message stating about the crash and what is wrong. After spending about 2-3 hours trying all these different things to fix it I gave up, What I had was something I thought I could never play, until two months ago when I finally managed to get it to work. What did I get once I got it to work, well I got broken combat, ugly Npcs, some of the Worst Voices I have ever heard IE "Show me your wares" in a horrific voice, a got ugly indoor sections, ugly Npcs and a constant frame rate of 10-20 even though I can run most games on 60 fps like Battlefield 4 on ultra, Titan fall on ultra, crisis 3 on ultra and well you get the story, even after finally spending a hour finally getting somewhere I decide to go to sleep happy that I have finally got the game to work. The next day I wake up, have some nice breakfast, go onto my pc and launch the game, guess what happened? A save game bug wiped my progress, so I shut the game down contact steam support and got a refund, I was too disappointed with the game I deleted it and will probably never get the game. Well I usually say what the game does right and wrong here but ill leave it to the pros and cons of this terrible game

    Pro's
    + Space looks nice
    + The Ships look nice
    + Has the capabilities to be something amazing
    + Not playing the game

    Cons
    - Everything else
    - Terrible voice acting
    - Terrible graphics of both the NPC's and the indoor sections
    - Broken game, terrible Frame rate
    - I got it refunded (Yep that's right, it was that bad)
    - Still broken in many areas

    I rate this 1.5/10 but I choose two because I am nice
    There is also other accounts of them lying about the game through their trailers and it is misleading and well that's it to be honest, avoid this for a few 3-4 years until Modder's do something about it, I may pick it up for $5, even though I generally do not, but I really wanted to like this game, but it may just never happen    … Expand

    Rebirth is still a dull, shallow and lobotomized sequel to the X series. Ongoing bug fixing still hasn't changed the fundamental reasons why this isn't a good game.

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

    PROS: -Space travel is much faster even if the Highways are stupid
    -Can enter highways at any point not just front of the gate
    - Space performance is acceptable and "OK" Graphically
    - .........that's about it.

    CONS: Voice Acting.....Almost Non existent.
    - Everything Menu Related is Horrible it is all Console Based (Epic Fail) and is Laggy at best even on a gaming rig, trying to tell your fleet ANYTHING game needs to be paused, Trading Windows also Fail at times textures make it impossible to see the prices that is if you can figure out how to buy/sell anything
    - Can only Pilot 1 ship for the foreseeable campaign
    - docking your ship is a hassle and when docked you can only access a small part of the station usually limited to the room that you docked at
    - finding a specific person on a station without a nav beacon takes so much time because of the numerous docking ports on each station which you have to get Uber close to,to see who is in that room
    - the Land Or Station portion of the game is Atrocious even with more than powerful enough GPU's it is choppy/laggy, you have to be in front of a person before talking to them, again Menus are horrible and choppy, you can loot random boxes/lockers who just puts out random stuff for people to take even in games that is stupid,
    -.In Previous X titles stations were Menu based and you could access the whole station from the main docking port which is as it should be without all this walking around crap it was much simpler and Faster to me the First Person Station aspect is an entirely unneeded and Broken Portion of the game Although with the menu system this game has to offer it would somehow make it worse to revert back to the old way.

The cockpit view fills my POV with needless clutter and obstructs the view of outside space. What is the point of having awesome space environments if you are looking at it through a tiny window?

    Then there is the whole nonsensical station interior gameplay where your character wanders around and scoops up anything not nailed down. That isn't trading. That's scavenging and stealing. Instead of the convenient comm based interaction with stations or mission givers, or being able to see what is for sale at a station, we have to land and wander the station looking for that one person that we need. Only then we find out they are not in this section of the station and we have to get back into space and land at another landing pad and repeat the same process.

    The control interface clearly shows this was designed first and foremost with consoles and any PC release was an afterthought. Paging through multiple menus just to do a simple and common task is infuriatingly annoying.

    Suffice to say, that X Rebirth has managed to take just about anything that worked with X: Terran Conflict and previous X games and thoroughly break it or render it a chore rather than enjoyable gameplay.    … Expand

The whole 1st person thing, the inability to be able to fly other ships, poor overall ergonomy of the interface, poor overall usability of trade interfaces.

    Absolutely atrocious game release. X3TC was is my favorite game of all time, but this brings shame to the series, the developers and even the fans.

    What is incredibly shameful to boot is the amount of perfect 9 or 10 score reviews. Every time you see one of them click on the user name of the person posting and you will see that they have only ONE review and ONE score. They have all    Absolutely atrocious game release.

    What is incredibly shameful to boot is the amount of perfect 9 or 10 score reviews. Every time you see one of them click on the user name of the person posting and you will see that they have only ONE review and ONE score. They have all only reviewed X rebirth and have all given it a perfect score with a short blurb of text saying that everyone else is just "crazy" for saying it's bad.

    The amount of disappointment is monstrous. This is not only because this game is nowhere near what we were all hoping for, (at most it can be called an early alpha) but also because Egosoft is not some big name studio with endless cash reserves.

    This colossal failure will spell the end of Egosoft and their space sims, mark my words.

    Our last and best hope now lies with Star Citizen.

    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]
