If you enjoyed Fallout or any of TES games you'll enjoy this as well.

Would it have been nice to be able to fly around planets/moons or up into space? Sure. However I can understand why the inevitably decided against this - the game is absolutely HUGE and I prefer their implementation over something like Star Citizen or even No Man's sky. The "tiles" are absolutely massive and those I've been to feel intentionally designed even though they involve a process of procedural generation - getting back to my point about SC and NMS - these "levels" feel more intentional rather than simply relying on RNG to generate an environment with things to see etc. Will this get repetitive at some point? Maybe, however ~30 hours in I've barely even scratched the surface of whats available.

People will probably also complain about the fast-travel system - however it's completely optional, and in a universe of this size I can also see why (and appreciate the fact that it's possible) it was implemented this way.

My two main complaints are:
- The "local" map sucks and really feels like something which they wanted to do differently, however it would have been too challenging to do it properly and as such they made something which serves absolutely no purpose / does not help the player at all.
- Tracking missions, or more specifically, changing the tracked mission to one that's at your current location is a massive chose. Rather than allowing the player to switch the tracked mission to one that you can see on your map, you need to scroll through each of your accepted missions, expand each, and check if the requirement matches what you saw on the map. There's also no filter by location. And as someone that accepts all the missions I can, this makes the process of tracking the mission you want extremely tedious.

One can definitely tell that the developers spent a lot of time to get even the smallest details correct. Visually excellent game with a lot of different things to do and places to explore.

Overall the game ran smooth as well with no real issues - the only issues I can honestly say that I experienced was the odd item clipping through the terrain and not being able to pick up those items.

One of the best games I've ever played.

Highly recommend playing this game with a controller.
