About This Game

In the distant future, the X universe faces a period of profound and irrevocable change. While the universe stumbles towards an uncertain future, countless adventures await as new enemies rise in search of power. Enter a young adventurer and his unlikely female ally traveling in an old, battered ship with a glorious past - two people alone against the galaxy, playing a key part in the events to come. The fate of the universe rests in the hands of the player...

X Rebirth Home of Light represents a spectacular new beginning for the X series, offering loyal fans and newcomers alike a vast, vivid and extremely detailed universe to explore throughout the game. Varied gameplay elements such as action-packed space combat, detailed trading mechanics and high-speed space exploration with fast travel allow players to experience a truly unique space saga that will keep them hooked for dozens of hours. X Rebirth Home of Light features a whole new user experience - it is easier than ever to start with, and remains as deep as fans expect it.

FEATURES

TRADE! A fully simulated economy that means your actions really do matter. Travel the space highways to find profit in gigantic space cities, swarming with ships and drones.

++ Every ship you see has a task. Stop a freighter from reaching its destination and its cargo will be stopped too, causing prices to rise. ++

FIGHT! From small scale skirmishes to epic fleet encounters, battles in the X Universe know no limits. Choose to fight for the military, work for the police or be a lawless pirate, or if you prefer just fight when you need to defend yourself - it's up to you.

++ Take the action right into massive structures. Target turrets and shield generators to weaken your enemy, damage engines and jump drives to prevent their ships from escaping, or stop their factories producing to cripple their economy. ++

BUILD! Create your own empire! From trading stations to large factories, farms to hightech military complexes, everything can belong to you. Build for trade and profit or to strengthen your military presence and dominate your enemies.

++ Extend and upgrade your stations to make them operate more efficiently, with every element visible in glorious animated detail. Harvest your own resources to keep your empire running smoothly. ++

THINK! A rich, detailed history and a deep complex plot await you, but you are free to decide when and where to take part. Explore the universe at your own pace - choose your own path and create your own destiny.

++ Get up-close and personal with aliens and humans alike. Land on stations, meet people, then accept missions from them or hire them as crew members for your ships. ++

TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD, THINK... in the X Universe - the biggest sandbox this side of the galaxy.

Great game but crashes occasionally

I have a 2013 Macbook Pro (16GB RAM and 2.8GHz Intel i7) and, while this game is extremely fun to play, It has crashed about once an hour with the graphics on medium. I’d still recommend people buy the game to be honest as I am having a lot of fun playing it but would also recommend saving frequently so it doesnt become a pain. If it could be optimised more though that would be great and would make it a 5/5 game. (I’m not sure if devs can see the reports we send when the game crashes but I have been sending them so hopefully it helps).

There’s mixed reviews out there for it as it’s been out for about 2 years, but this iteration is the most up to date and includes all of the patches and updates that have changed it from what sounds like most people’s worst nightmare (going by past reviews rather than my own experience) to a very well rounded space sim/space opera. X Rebith combines elements of first person dogfighting and commodities trading found in other titles with an almost RTS feel when you own a fleet of ships and give them commands to go off and do their thing. You can have a wing of fighters to protect your capital ship or a fleet of traders making you money. To top it off, you can even create, build and manage your own stations and create a trade empire where you are not only buying and selling but supplying as well.

One thing to note. This isn’t X3. Its the same universe but not the same game. This may piss some people off but if you’ve played the other titles and either loved them or hated them, think of this as a seperate, standalone game in the same setting.

It plays relatively well with keyboard and mouse (I’d recommend buying a mouse if you have a trackpad) but I may be looking to get a gamepad or joystick as I feel combat would be much more intuitive with one (And I’m a bit more familiar with them too).
