    Buggy, Horrid animations, pointless first person walking around, bad level design, laggy/unoptimised, the list goes on... Dont buy it if your on the fence, torrent it and see for yourself the utter fail that is X:Rebirth.

X Rebirth is a victim of the success of the past X games, and the fan expectations that come with it. Fans wanted an improved version of the past game...an evolution of the X franchise. They got a step back instead, and it feels glaring. Rather than expand on the depth of the previous games, X Rebirth strips away much of the good, and replaces it with the mediocre. Things in need of improvement (e.g. ship controls) are barely touched, while technical issues abound. An unfinished product at best, a half-hearted product in reality. One feels that the developers simply counted on pre orders and early adopters to make one final cash in on the X name, before slinking off into obscurity with their ill-gotten loot. There will probably not be any more X games after this, the goodwill having been squandered.… Expand

    Requiring at least 4GB of memory and a 64Bit system is kinda dumb, the game looks pretty, but there are games that require a lot less and have better graphics.
    Entering the stations is a nice concept but confusing and time consuming, even if all you want is just to repair your ship.
    My overall review is in favor of the graphics, cause the rest is a failure. Huge price, bad and confusing user interface, huge amount of system requirements, system map is also difficult to read, and confusing aswell, trading should be a lot simpler.
    Honestly guys, if you haven't played Freelancer, do it, since it's the best way to compare a game from 2003 and a game from 2013... I prefer the old, simple and rich in storyline games.    … Expand

I've been a fan of the X series for a long time. I'm used to buggy releases from Egosoft so I would be willing to overlooks bugs to a certain extent if there was a promise of a good game underneath. There isn't. Bugs, and there a tons and tons of them, to the point where there is an entire community built around supplying save games to people that get corrupted saves, are just the tip of the iceberg. This game is plagued by horrible design decisions that go right down to its core. Despite repeated assurances to the contrary, this game was stripped of much of the depth and complexity that made the earlier X games great. This was clearly done in an effort to make the game more accessible to potential newcomers (earlier X games were well known for their brutal learning curve). Unfortunately they completely failed to make the game more accessible. The terrible "plot" is essentially a really long tutorial. Unfortunately it is so terrible and badly presented with missing prompts, straight up wrong prompts, and instructions that, if followed, can often leave you stuck and unable to continue the game, that it would be easier to learn the game had they simply dropped you off somewhere with no instructions whatsoever and let you figure everything out entirely on your own.

    The UI is one of the very worst I have ever seen in any game of any type. Despite the claims that this game wasn't being made with consoles in mind, it clearly was. The proof is in the pudding. The UI and control scheme is clearly designed with a gamepad in mind. A gamepad is a poor input choice for a hardcore space sim with any level of complexity. In order to get a space sim to work on a gamepad entirely you need to strip many features out of the game (they did) and force everything to be done through layers of menus (they did). Even with all these concessions and even when using a gamepad, the menus are so counterintuitive and jumbled up that it's painful to do anything in the game, even the most basic things. Hotkey support is missing for the majority of functions for m&kb, while many functions simply don't exist (For example, there's no target nearest enemy key... at all. How the do you not have a target nearest enemy key?). Flightstick support is straight up broken, it doesn't even recognize all the axes correctly.

    The game constantly forces you to leave your ship and enter stations. Station interiors are pretty piss poor looking, worse yet there are maybe 2 or 3 different layouts total. Every station interior is an exact copy of one of these 2 or 3 layouts, right down to the placement of crates, which you can rob right in front of their presumed owners as if you were in an old school JRPG. Character models and animations look like something out of Morrowind (definitely not a compliment), none of the characters have any personality whatsoever, and the voice acting is laughably bad. There is literally nothing to be gained by including the station interiors. Their only function is to make everything in the game more tedious (you have to do all your trades and hires face to face, thus you have to go through this process again and again and again).

    Fleet commands are basically nonexistent (have fun leading a massive fleet into battle with basically no fleet commands). Trading automation doesn't exist and you have to babysit each of your freighters every step of the way (try building a trading empire with 30 or 40 freighters when you have to walk each of them through every single step of buying, travelling to another place, and selling, every single time). You can build stations but only in predetermined locations.

    The game is a mess and a farce. Egosoft have been good in the past about fixing bugs and supporting their games for long periods of time, plus the modding community is great. I'm not sure if Egosoft and the modding community can save this game, it's that broken that deep down to its core.

    Egosoft managed to not only make the game even less appealing to potential new customers, but also completely alienate their existing loyal customer base, most of which will likely be loyal customers of theirs no longer. It's a real shame because they made great space sims in the past. I'm not sure how they recover from this, or if they even can.    … Expand

Parody on spaceship ugly partner, and finaly small rooms that calls "starbases" with boxes that can be looted and stupid AI personel? Fail. Epic fail.

    I obviously do not like Rebirth as is conveyed through the score I give it. However, simply disliking the game is not the sole reason for such a low score on a game from a company I have been a fan of for years. The bugs are also not the reason for such a low score, and there are a lot of them! No, the reason I give this game such a low score is because of the dishonesty and deception from Egosoft about this game.

    Several of the company's promises about the game either were not kept, or were just plain lies. The game isn't even in the same Genre as previous X games. Sure, it's in space and the lore is the same... but that is about where the similarities end. The creed of the game (trade, fight, build, think) appears to be missing 3 of the aspects. The fighting is there (easy-mode), everything else is either missing or it has been implemented so badly that it may as well be missing.

    There isn't much point in going too in-depth for this review. So I'll sum it up:

    If you are looking for an economic simulator with combat and fleet control that can rival the previous X games in the series, then you do NOT want this game.

    If you are looking for an arcade game or a FPS shooter style game that takes place in the of a spaceship, then this MIGHT be a game you will like. But with the amount of bugs in the game I would certainly wait for a few months before considering the purchase.    … Expand

    A locked-in universe which expands via a long and pretty awful plot (in terms of voice acting and models), lack of control over player's assets, the total opposite of what was promised in terms of interface, a single ship, gimmicky mini-games and first-person mechanics, and a general feel of un-finished-ness make the game a huge don't-buy. Coupled with an extremely buggy launch, the fact that the developers refuse to recognise it's practically X3 but worse, and the sight of 90% of the former fanbase leaving, it looks like this game may remain that way for a long time.

    They were aiming for streamlining and accessibility whilst retaining the previous feel of complexity.
    They achieved a game too shallow, lacking, and simple for former fans to enjoy whilst making it too slow, buggy, and confusing for newer fans.

    Their failure to admit that they took a wrong design decision, and failure to acknowledge that after 7 and a half years of game and engine development the engine is inadequate and the game feels like it was rushed in 3 months, only makes this a harder issue to bear.

    Egosoft have, unfortunately, sold out to the "casual" gamer and ruined their reputation amongst their own community quite possibly for ever, and the fact they couldn't even do it properly has left them drifting in-between genres, too much of an insult to one group and too broken and confusing for a second.

Add clunky UI and, unfortunately, the immersion just isn't there.

    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]
