<< EDIT: Have now passed the 300 hour mark in Rebirth, and just now really getting into 'HoL territory', and.. I am STILL LOVING THIS GAME! >>


I have absolutely fallen for X Rebirth - it's a great game and I'm loving every minute of it. The 4.0 update and this expansion make a very good thing even better. Three new systems and a whole lot more added here; very much worthwhile.

I've happily seen hundreds of hours fly by in the base game and first expansion alone, and I can already see how very much more this expansion adds to the galaxy and the game. It seems to me that this expansion pushes Rebirth across the line; achieves and surpasses that "critical mass" for the galaxy to feel truly Big-Big.

Rebirth gives me just what I've always wanted in a sci-fi game. It has character and wonder and beauty, its has breadth AND depth. A big vibrant hand-crafted galaxy to explore and admire. A fantastic big beautiful space sandbox to play in. Big but not generic. Places feel unique and intentional and alive. Rebirth has almost high fantasy undertones; it feels like the setting for a great book or movie - it feels like a place to build your own stories in, whatever you may want them to be. There is just so much do. And it's all just plain fun. Great variety of missions, if you want to do missions. Great big galaxy to fly around and explore, if you want to just gawk. Be a humble trader, or build an economic empire. Be a lone wolf pirate, or become a military force to be feared. Start small and grow, or start big and take it from there - many different starts available give great incentive to replay along different paths. What I love about Rebirth is that it's a great big sandbox to play in, full of possibilities - but it has not been left generic; they have taken the time to craft it into something beautiful. Somewhere worthy of making our own stories.

This is a big expansion that brings a lot to the table and makes a great base game even better. I'll happily take all I can get of Rebirth and this expansion has a lot to give.
