Can't recommend.

Best way to describe it is that it is a worse version of fallout 4 in every aspect. Crafting system to the outpost (settlement) system, its worse. Area's are broken into smaller more frequent short locations that are designed poorly, noticeable repeat-locations. The planets are illusions (invisible walls). You can't fly to the planets themselves when in space, you fast travel to everything in the game. Even shops/houses in towns still need to be instanced (loading screens, SO MANY loading screens). Think about having a loading screen each time you enter/exited your power armor in a fallout game, now multiply that by x5 and you have the amount of loading screens in this game.

The performance and graphics options are definitely screaming console-port as there are literally no nvidia options. (they patched this and added DLSS so performance isn't as bad as it was on release)

The amount of fast traveling is ridiculous when combined with the space system, this cannot be understated, no travel options inside of solar systems or anywhere else, seemingly smaller locations made to feel large but are just spread out on purpose on the actual planets. Same reused layout on completely diff planets. The feeling of owning a ship, customizing a ship, using skill points in the talent tree specifically for ship-related features that only get unlocked through the talent tree feels completely pointless.

Mostly importantly here is that it doesn't feel immersive. The story and characters are just awful. Every time there's a dialogue engagement or an interaction with an npc it is always a letdown. I'm talking mass effect andromeda levels of bad here. Planet exploration is also incredibly boring.

There are no maps for towns. Need to find a medic in a town? Good luck with that, can't even ask guards where things are in towns like you could in previous bethesda games. There's no local maps for towns. Like, this is such a half-assed game compared to previous titles in both game mechanics and writing/story.

Ship building seems like a gimmick. Even at level 19 with a few pilot skills and ship-building skills you can't even change ships that much or they become worse to fly or you run out of energy using this awful energy system they used to restrict ship design. I don't get it. The ship building is literally pointless.

By level 34 this still has not changed regarding ship customization. It's pointless.

Currently level 42, the game is playable now with the addition of DLSS in terms of framerate, the optimization still isn't what it should be, even with DLSS helping.

I've played Bethesda games since Morrowind and this is by far, BY FAR, the blandest least-engaging, featureless and uninteresting Bethesda game I've played (I played them all). It never gets better, it only gets worse. From the writing/plot to the visuals/style itself. Bad. Not even close to previous games they've made. It's so bad it almost feels like a completely different company made the game and just tagged on the Bethesda name.

Uninstalled. I could not finish this game. The NPC's, the dialogue itself, the choices, flying/customization your ship, its just awful. If you're looking for a space game look no further than no man's sky. It has no plot but it does everything else better than this game.
