This game combines the worst parts of No Man's Sky (the emptiness and boring void) and Bethesda games and feels underbaked even after 8 years in development.

I was going to maybe try giving it more of a chance, but then I learned that melee combat is shallow to the point where the entire game has less than 10 melee weapons and melee weapons cannot be modded. I don't expect Skyrim variety, but I expected Fallout at least. And I am only playing a melee build because the aiming and FPS controls on consoles is so bad.

And the UI is ATROCIOUS. It's especially jarring since I just played Everspace 2 and it does space combat and navigation UI infinitely better. The lack of any accessibility setting beyond subtitles is also a joke.

Even with bugs I was able to enjoy Skyrim and Fallout 4 on week 1. This game is just poorly designed.
