The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
a hands-off, methodical space-trading sim where you chart your own course through a detailed, at times unforgiving universe

What players say
Players praise X2 as a deep space sim with strong economy, combat, and story, but consistently report crashes and broken cutscenes on modern Windows versions, with some calling it the best in the series while others find it more accessible than later entries.
