I knew before buying (on sale btw) that Far Cry 6 did not take itself as seriously as previous titles... but holy ♥♥♥♥ it really does not care about itself. The writing is horrible, the story does not really make sense, a crippled dog companion???, DEI characters (trans, vegan, lesbian etc etc. (i'm Bi myself but they push it too hard!!)), super powers in a FC game? really?, outfits replacing skill trees... i can go on and on. The only good things about this game are the graphics, sound design and that unlike previous titles it has bigger cities which is cool.

TL;DR: Waste of money, buy Far Cry 5 instead.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Call of Duty, Apex Legends and VALORANT had a baby that was created by "alabama-tier procreation"? Me neither, but the answer is FragPunk (and it's incredibly fun)

It was great on release but they removed mod support.

Overall X4 is an amazing game in which i already spent a LOT of hours and plan on spending even more. The game overall is incredibly fun if you like RPGs, Sandbox games and Strategy games because X4 is all of this in one (and more). But any game is not without it's flaws and there are areas where X4 is absolutely unloved by it's devs such as UI, fleet management, empire management and diplomacy. To elaborate further:

It is incredibly cluttered and feels like playing a text based console adventure game from 1960s instead of a proper game. Sometimes right clicking a ship with other ships opens the context menu sometimes not so it is not really consistent or maybe i am doing something wrong. It's also really hard to orientate yourself in it. To fix this issue i would suggest adding more images to for example the ship build screen and add different tabs for each owned thing such as Stations, Fleets and Unassigned ships with filtering options to order ships/stations by name, sector, fleet size etc. Also it would be really nice to see more icons and colors.

Mentioned above but to add to that it would be really nice to add a build menu to fleets. Right click on a fleet and select from which station this fleet will be constructed. Also adding a fleet management such as making a mining fleet with allowed sectors and resources where they can mine and allowed stations to which they can deliver that would be awesome. Let's say i have a fleet of mining ships in Ore Belt and want all of them to mine silicon and ore from a list of allowed sectors be delivered to my three stations. Currently this is not available and i feel like it would make late game much more enjoyable. ALSO PLEASE ADD COPY PASTE FUNCTIONALITY TO A LOT OF THINGS SUCH AS SHIP BEHAVIOR I AM TIRED OF CLICKING

A lot of the issues were mentioned above but again to add to that. It would be nice to set up trade routes between stations instead of relying on unassigned ships with behaviors and their random AI decision making. Also some QoL features would be nice but right now i cant think of any but i believe Egosoft will cook up something amazing!

It would be cool if we could buy/sell stations if the player has enough reputation. Also it would be nice to spend something like diplomacy points to claim sectors and then declare a defensive war against a faction or maybe add something like a war declaration system from civilization 6. It would be really nice if there was a graphical way to see relations between factions and a way to influence their politics. Also paying factions to attack another (for example paying SCA to fight against HOP) would be really nice! Also there is currently no way to close borders to a faction or completely defeat them :(

Also if there is a way to do any of the things which ive mentioned then i have not found them or clearly understood how to do them in ~450 hours of playtime

It's an incredible game. Fortunately Sony has been defeated.

Make sure to read the READ ME and do not rush through the quests. Enjoy your journey. I rushed the whole quest line in five hours and i regret not taking my time. But overall the DLC is very good and i highly recommend it. The aesthetic is weirdly unsettling and even lovecraftian in a sense. I am not the kind of guy to get scared easily but this was one hell of a ride. I loved it and you sure will too!

👍

Empyrion is something between Ark and Space Engineers. If you like open world space exploration games you will like this too. It has MANY issues tho. The biggest problem in my opinion is if your character state changes ... you get a infection, recieve damage or shoot a gun for the first time the game freezes. These freezes can cost you your life. My game usually freezes at least 20 times per session and the freeze averages around 1 - 5 seconds.

The game is really fun but when i played my first match i discovered that you can win the game by killing everyone and then rush to their doorstep and spawncamp them. That match wasn't fun. Maybe add one way shield around spawn that allies could walk through but enemies couldn't, and also make it that spawn recharged allied hp and that shield cannot be shot through by anyone. I hope us betatesters recieve the game for free if the devs plan it to be payed for. 7/10 Interesting and well executed game idea.

If i knew you could harvest cotton before i created my character i would have picked darker color of skin.
