What a mess.

12 million mechanics, none of which jibe together.

The perfect summary of this is the FOOD RESEARCH TREE.

I understand why, in Fallout, there's a food crafting system. It makes thematic sense for someone scrounging through the wasteland to piece together nutritious meals.

This is space. Why do I need to research meatloaf? Why is it a concern at all? It adds nothing to the gameplay, it's just a bunch of pointless faff, like much of the mechanics in starfield. Mechanically, food acts as a buff/healing item. There's already a pharmacology research system, so it's just pointless double up. It's such a waste that makes no sense gameplay wise or fits with the theme of the game.

Meanwhile, there's no usable local map! In a game about exploration!

This game is only two hours long, and it wouldn't have taken that long to beat if it didn't crash. For the price, it's not worth it.

The story makes exactly 0 sense. Who is Shelia, what is the weird group she's part of, who is general Lin?

It plays like a half baked tech demo.
