I basically enjoyed it, and I can already tell that I'm gonna back to this at some point. You start playing and it's pretty neat, and you're excited to get a whole wide universe to explore.

And then phase two is realizing that, hey man, there's SO MUCH universe here that, counter-intuitively, there's nothing to do. The planets are huge but there's not much on them, so you end up walking for miles only to arrive at something that's not really worth having arrived at. I would have loved to see, simply, MORE stuff to interact with on any given planet--the cities are perfectly fine!

And then the third phase, weirdly, is playing enough to start finding the interesting stuff that has been hidden around the universe. You'll randomly land on a planet for no real reason, and then there will be a fascinating quest that was hand-crafted and is very good! And then you'll head back into the world and do nothing for a few hours before you, once again, find something very fun to do through (essentially) brute force experiencing every planet.

Call me when Bethesda develops a few DLCs that flesh out the worlds with cool stuff to do between the cool stuff, and I'll be back to buy another copy for whatever console we've gotten to.
