The game is aggressively Bethesda but I’m enjoying the visuals and sniffing the 3d model of every insignificant bit of detritis in the world. I saw a very nice looking bowl, maybe THE bowl of all videogames. Other than that the narrative and main story has already lost my interest after about 10 minutes and I’ll be off being a space menace if the game will let me.
Once i found out I can travel using the ship in scanner mode it doesn’t feel like a map simulator anymore.
Also the chef having a perk for dueling tickles me.
Game also runs like shit on PC but digital foundry showed most settings being on medium yields good performance with no noticable quality loss.
I was already disappointed that I couldn’t get crushed or set on fire by the first ship in the game. The amount of collectible junk in the world makes it a nightmare to play because how obsessive I am about missing valuable items. I’ve had more fun with the character creator than the actual game so far. Really interested to see what modders can do with it though.
