It is egregiously medicore. StarField has done nothing special but has done plenty poorly. I played Outer Worlds just before StarField and it was an overall better experience. I love fallout and elder scrolls games, but this isn't it. They tried to make Fallout into Mass Effect and just didn't translate well.
We have so many indie space sim games that I cannot fathom why they would use an archaic game engine for this $7.5 billion investment 🤷♂️
