The harsh truth you can't handle about video games.

Let’s be honest: Starfield is just Bethesda’s overpriced mod of No Man’s Sky. You’ve got planets that are mostly empty, endless resource grinding, and a storyline so dry it makes toast jealous. No Man’s Sky at least has color and a weird alien aesthetic. Starfield feels like a sad, gray PowerPoint presentation in space. Yeah, the lighting is nice. Congrats. It’s a boring game with RTX turned on.

A little background: My partner and I love NMS, which we only just started this last winter. We love methodical pacing and slow burn games. Unfortunately, Bethesda has burned me enough times that I'll wait until their games are under $10 and patched a bunch of times before I'll even consider them.

My serious question: what makes Starfield deep/great?
