Not only can this make you a lot of enemies quickly, but you’ll miss out on some of the great alliances that you can form with of the game’s various factions. What isn’t a good idea is to attack every ship and space station you come across during your journeys. Or, had to race for a jump gate with damaged thrusters and hostile ships closed in on my tail barely making it through the gate in time and hollering the entire way. Other times, I’ve come across seemingly derelict ships that were loaded with valuables, and triggered ambushes as a result. I’ve fought in pitched space battles with nimble fighters zipping around in-between immense capital ships blasting away at each other with their main batteries scenes that reminded me of something out of Star Wars. You can make things happen organically throughout your travels which gives the game some great replayability.įor instance, I’ve randomly stumbled across small fleets of ships that hailed me in order to see if I could help in repairing their main space station, only to later have a hostile empire’s forces show up and try to destroy it. However, in the end I felt that the game’s ending came a little too abruptly which makes me think that Egosoft may be planning to expand the storyline later through expansions and updates.Įxploration is really the most fun part of X4: Foundations, as is the case with pretty much any sandbox-type game. Personally, I found much of these clues through completing certain tasks or carefully reading through pieces of dialogue. There are certain places you can travel to within the game to get tidbits of its history and more, as well as clues to the general storyline, but they can only be found through exploring.
But do they succeed in that endeavor?įirstly, X4: Foundations does indeed have a storyline, but it isn’t always plainly accessible. They usually involve having to invest a considerable chuck of a person’s time and energy just to learn their basic systems, just as you would with other complex games like Elite: Dangerous.Įgosolf’s latest iteration of the series, X4: Foundations, hopes to bridge the gap between being too esoteric for the general gaming masses, and too dumbed down as with one their last effort, 2013’s X Rebirth. I also like that you inform the player about the bonus.Games set in the X universe are a rather daunting prospect to learn and play for the more casual gamers out there. At first I thought this bonus was too much, but with each new level it was not so obvious. Really interesting bonus for Coil subscribers. Other than that, I liked the visualisation of the notes. It could use some tips for players that are not familiar with a certain theme. Joep van Duinen: Love this concept! Lovely homage to some of the great film scores. The puzzles are difficult if you're not musically inclined, but the Web Monetization bonus really goes a long way here for players that have trouble with musical cues. Nathan Lie: Relaxing and nostalgic game that goes through sci-fi's greatest hits. This type of clues will help people who have problems with working with sounds and they will be happy when they know the music in the end.
then blue like to stay on distance to green but not far away from red, etc. Also, maybe having visual hints beside sound hint for example correct tons link together and move together or something, or the clues are more of deduction clues like red love orange but hate blue. I would recommend making the game easier by locking any correct tune in its place so the game start to be easier over time.

For example, I know some of these movies and tunes but because I am not good with clues I never figured out what is the song from.Īdding undo and redo and rest is pretty good idea as multiple time I miss something and then don't remember how to go back. I think you could improve the game by telling directly what that suppose to be the theme song to avoid depending on people knowledge of pop culture.
Ahmed Khalifa: This is a pretty interesting game I love the idea of the small tunes and arranging it, this could work perfectly as a little puzzle relaxing game.
