What can I say that hasn't already been said by many - the game's boring, and badly outdated. Visually it looks alright, I love the inclusion of PBR and higher quality materials (for the most part, do NOT look at planet textures though), and the interior spaces (when you ignore the fact most of them are copypaste) are very well decorated and lived in. But mechanically this game is shallower than a puddle, and does not capitalize on ANY of the things it tries to sell you. An intuitive and actually good ship builder just so that you can fly your ship in low-stakes orbital combat... Planetary exploration that's utterly pointless... Outpost building with worse controls and jank than Fallout 4's settlement system, for the sake of gathering resources that you can easily just buy... The list of grievances go on and on, if you want a better explanation of it all, check out NakeyJakey's video on it that otherwise perfectly sums it all up at the time of me writing this.

Unless Bethesda straps down and seriously overhauls the game, which I highly doubt they can accomplish, especially with Emil Pagliarulo still being at the helm, I have severe doubts for the future of this developer, even previous red flags aside.
