I’m 10 hours in and having a blast with it. The space travel aspect is way undercooked but other than that it’s like a fallout game in space, and their writing got better from previous games.
Even the procedurally generated areas are pretty cool with random buildings and caves to explore, plus there are surprise semi-secret quests that are also fun to play.
I can see the argument that it’s a Bethesda game with more loading screens though. They really should’ve put more emphasis on the in-space gameplay to help replace the on-foot exploration from previous games. The ship is more like a mobile house/storage bin than anything else.
