At this point I don't trust anyone. Reviewers obviously paid off to give positive reviews, but then just as annoying is all the pure anti Bethesda hate here. I don't trust anyone to separate their Bethesda love/hate from the review of the actual game.

I think there was one review that was like "it's a sci Fi Skyrim in space" and that sounds like it'll be the most accurate.

sci Fi Skyrim

Shit bro that's all you gotta say.

I'm a basic bitch like that I like my Bethesda kiddie pools.

"it's a sci Fi Skyrim in space"

Tbh, that DOES sound pretty great IMO 🤷

That’s all I really wanted from this game. I like the fact the environments are actually different looking instead of Wasteland Fallout or Fantasy Skyrim.

For me this is the first Bethesda game I’ve played (other than a few hours of Skyrim but I didn’t get far), and I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit. It’s not a perfect game, probably not even my game of the year, but I’ve been finding myself wanting to play it over all of the other games currently in my backlog.

I really don’t see what the hate is about, Bethesda promised space Skyrim, and that’s basically what we got.

The one time ign was actually on top of it, and people mass disliked the video. That 7 was deserved.

Buy it and return it after 2hrs if it's not your style. Or you can pirate it and pay them if you feel like it lol.

Yea I felt the same way and spent the $30 bucks on Xbox to play it early. I really think this game is a huge "Your mileage may vary".

If you have a PC I would look into a gamepass trial or something to try it out before buying it. Or like someone said buying it on steam and then refunding if it's not your thing.

I didn't have super high expectations but honestly it's really solid and it does have its flaws that are sometimes in your face, but I've had a lot of highs so far when playing too. If you've played a Bethesda game before, you can expect what you're getting into.

I've found if you have a good attitude going into things you'll generally feel better about them. Going in expecting it to be shit, and all you'll find is shit.
