The #Starfield main quest is all over the place quality wise, I’m not surprised the game got 8/10 from most review outlets as realistically they will play that bit. 

It goes from bad (opening at a car park in Scunthorpe) to worse (the temple missions which repeat the same puzzle 12 times on 12 dull lifeless planets.. dear lord) to emotional to great — it’s a real rollercoaster of quality and tone. There’s even a ship stealth section which is never used again in the game.
