My experience is much like the others are saying in here. My initial response was oh wow it's like no mans sky, but worse. I'm mostly underwhelmed with it after a few hours of game play, and I'm torn between grinding along, hoping it gets better, or getting a refund before I've played for too long.
That's the part that scares me, I've played no man's sky, it was fun for a short while but then got tired pretty quickly.
If this game keeps getting compared to no man's sky and is said to come up short, then I'm definitely gonna wait to try it for cheap.
I think this game will have more story focus to it than no man's sky, which is why I'm hesitant to make such a snap decision as I've barely gotten into the story.
That's a fair point. Could you do me a favor and let me know how it is?
Update: I played for around 8 hours yesterday and can now say that once you get through the whole "tutorial" bit of the game, the story starts to become more evident, and I no longer feel like it's a worse version of no man's sky. After the first hour or two (depending on how quickly you play), it starts having the type of Bethesda RPG vibes you'd expect from a Bethesda RPG. I've been enjoying it.
Thank you. I might try it out via game pass.
I plan to play some more today, so I will happily give you my impressions once I've gotten into it a bit further.
I've only played a couple hours so far but I don't understand the comparisons to no mans sky beyond the setting. It's not a similar game at all.
You shoot pirates, scan animals, and mine things... repeat. It really does feel a lot like "Shitty No Mans Sky" so far (about 4h in so far).
You do the same thing in any number of space themed games. That doesn't make any of them similar. This is nothing like NMS. They are completely different types of games.
I can see why you would not like it if you were expecting NMS but it was never intended to be that. It claimed to be a BGS game in space, and so far they seem to have delivered on that.

Come to think of it, most of the comments in this thread that are unhappy about it seem to be comparing it unfavorably to No Man's Sky.
nms doesn't have any deep quest lines like the dark brotherhood
Yeah what a retarded take. NMS is a lonely boring experience with the dullest ditch water plot (love those vague-nothing dialogues lol) and the worst gameplay loop in a while. Don’t worry they’re adding x pointless feature in an update!
Granted I’m waiting on release to play SF, but no fucking way are the games similar.
