@39c11d1e yeah... Eurogamer hit the nail on the head with their review.

"Bethesda's games are typically named after their settings, over their people. Starfield's problem is its lack of one. It's a non-place, formless, joined entirely by menu screens and hyperlinks replacing the almost divine sensation of direct experience. Rather than being built in service of presentness and a sense of place, Starfield is set entirely in their absence."

 @72aef807 That’s on point, it summarizes my feeling exactly!
