X3: Reunion

"X3 features more of the open-ended space exploration and trading of the earlier games, and it has a gorgeous graphics engine; just don't expect a riveting story."

"The 1.21.01 patch I mentioned finds the game more stable and the quest holes fixed, but still leaves many other problems intact. Another patch is supposedly on its way (with a few new features, too), but bear in mind that if you buy X3: Reunion as-is, you're buying a title with an extremely high learning curve and a docking AI that's great low comedy. There's still plenty of enjoyment to be had in a game whose depth only becomes apparent as you really dig into it, but this wine really shouldn't have been released before its time."
