Very exciting at first glance. You get to fly around space doing rpg things. But the initial story is both uninteresting and nonsensical. Then you start to realize there isnt really any space, just a loading screen simulator.
The story doesn't really improve. You're left feeling empty and disappointed. The side quests are better than the main campaign. Weapon variety is non existent. Gunplay is pretty horrible. There are a zillion systems but none of them seem fully implemented or impactful. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle... or whatever the saying is.
The game will probably be good in a year once the modders have completely worked it over.
