From the grapevine, it’s less that it sucks, more like it’s meh. 7/10 and all that. Exactly what you’d expect from Skyrim / Fallout 4 in space, but somehow more bland in terms of characterization and storyline.
Same Bethesda shallowness and jank. People who just like exploring a big universe and doing repetitive stuff mindlessly will enjoy it, people who want more choice and character interaction with a compelling story probably will not.
It’s kind of like the old Bethesda / Bioware split, except that Bioware’s basically dead now, and Larian’s doing what they used to do, but possibly better in some ways. Then there’s Obsidian who used to be like Bioware / Bethesda but better in the past, but nowadays they seem content to just try to copy Bethesda while adding some “quirkiness” and hoping it’ll work.
