This overhaul is the beginning steps of revamping the tutorials, and, hopefully, being much more beginner friendly. If you like space sims, this is one of the best times to give X4 a shot!

I would argue, a lot of the systems don’t take a TON to learn, but, they take a TON of time to get to some of them. It’s definitely not a “sit and play for 20 minutes” game.

Along with the tutorial upgrades comes some much needed graphical overhauls as well. Great game, great community, and lastly a small, fantastic dev team that’s been supporting the game for years.

Interesting stuff, I've been aware of the X series but never tried it as I've heard mixed things. If they're trying to clean up the onboarding for new players now much be the time to give it a try assuming the price is right

It's a janky game for sure, but in a charming way. I love it. You get used to all the oddities and they fade into the background. And there is a pretty solid modding community too... lots of mods to help with things you might not like about the game.
