Good game, but not a great one. My first couple days with it were exciting and a lot of fun, and the main quest is entertaining enough, but once the honeymoon phase comes to a close you really start to realize how gutless and bland the game world is; it feels far too safe and lacking in charm and/or personality, which is the opposite of what I'd want from a Bethesda title. Most of the time I felt that my decisions didn't really carry any weight, and those loading screens (while short) do add up. I also didn't find many of the central NPCs or companions endearing, I spent 90% of my time in the game traveling alone or with the robot. All in all Starfield isn't nearly as bad as the internet makes it out to be, but the disappointment is valid for what could've been.
