    It's genuinely mindboggling how bad it is. The story, quests and universe are somehow extremely bland, boring and senseless even for Bethesda's standards, there's genuinely like twenty barely unique dungeons stretched over like two thousand planets, I'd be surprised if there were more than 10 enemy types, the base-building feels even less relevant than in Fallout 4, the "powers" are irrellevant and how you unlock them is ridiculously repetitive, the crafting is so much worse than Fallout 4 and the whole new game plus system just doesn't work at all.

    The one thing I feel actually kinda works is customizing your spaceship (no matter how clunky it is) but they ruin even that in New Game Plus by giving you a shitty non-customizable ship that is just stats-wise much better than any other ship you can probably buy, although new game plus also removes all money and items you earned so you couldn't buy another ship right away even if you wanted to. The ship they give you doesn't even have chairs for your companions so they just stand around awkwardly and it also doesn't have crafting stations, making it even more useless.

    It's by far the worst thing they've ever made and that's saying something.
