I played all X games X-tensively including all the X-tended versions and seeing the reviews of X Rebirth made me very sad. I didn't touch it until it was drastically reduced here with version 4.0 and the two expansions. I have to say, I am positively surprised. It's certainly a different game, which is what they tried, but not as different as I would have thought. They did a very underwhelming job explaining a couple of features, you regularly get stuck within stations are capital ships, and you would think a group of 2 destroyers would a) take on a distillery and b) fly to that thing and open fire and not cruise around the perimeter, leisurely shooting at it once or twice and taking a grand tour after each attempt to hit an immoble target,....but overall I have sunk typical X game amount of time into it and I am still enjoying it. Definitely recommend purchase.
