Space is huge, empty and utterly boring and it is up to everyone to find and/or create a meaning for themselves out there.
If I have to make the game in my head, I don’t want to pay that much money. In Skyrim, you also make your own fun… after the third playthrough, not in the first. It is my fault for buying a game at release and not waiting.
For me, there was something so fundamentally missing from this game that I just couldn’t be bothered to fill in the blanks myself, because those blanks were huge. I’ve tried to remember the name of a single NPC and I can’t. I had no emotional response to the world, the story, the NPCs. There were tiny bits that I liked, but they were smashed into the ground by loading screens and hurt because you could for a brief moment get a glimpse of what the game could have been.
I am still glad that there are people who genuinely love the game and have fun with it, but it is the only game I regretted buying in 2023. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077 on release, despite the shitshow it was.

I can see that this game is not for everyone, or even for the majority of people.
Is it a perfect game? Far away from that.
But at the same time the game is not the shit show many people, and the steam reviews, make it seem to be.
I would say it is a solid game, a mostly positive with the potential for more.
