The game is fun if you like flying in space, making money, and managing supply fleets. There is combat, and there is technically a main quest, though I've never gotten far in it. I like building up a massive fleet, and this does that for me.

X3 is one of those games where you need to spend about 20 hours or more just learning how everything works. Controls are kinda all over the place, stuff can be pretty janky at times, and overall it's just a pretty old game which can give it that outdated feeling. BUT... I have yet to find another game that lets me live out my fantasy of establishing a space weed/arms dealing empire across the galaxy in this much detail. Great game, but there is definitely a very steep learning curve which will deter a lot of people.

I love this game I can't get enough of it. It's an amazing sand box space game where you can make massive fleets of war ships, you can become a massive profitable business owner making and selling weapons and ammunition, energy shields, and basic goods. The game also has a massive story, though the most annoying thing has to be the xenon hub missions because of how long they are.
