Gotta wait a while for the real honest reviews by people who actually played it for a significant amount of time. The people enjoying it are still playing it and can't be bothered to post at the moment.
Everything that's out now in the review space is a knee-jerk reaction to the hype train.
I mean.. it's a Bethesda game with all the little finicky Bethesda things like long load screens and quick travel (unless over encumbered) with load screens. Buggy lag and characters that don't fully load, or speech that doesn't match the mouth movements until the second or third line of speaking. Also a fair amount of fetch quests, and lots of decisions to make about how you want to play the game.
I'm having a blast, but I don't get bored by game exploration. I feel like the random characters you can talk to and the setting make it very immersive. The voice actors are great even for rando characters that you come across. It's honestly super fun. I want to play it more during the work week, but I don't think I'll have much time again until the weekend because it really sucks me in, and I want to give it more than 30 minutes at a time.
That's my issue to, not enough time. While I'm at work I'm thinking of things to search about the game but then I try and control myself so I don't spoil it
I've got about 40 hours playing it so far. Really taking my time with side content. My biggest gripe is more with some of the skills you need to spend skill points on, some of them feel super mandatory and many of them are boring % increases. Also i wish there was more stuff to do in space. Lastly, surveying the last few things on a planet that ive missed has been very frustrating on a few occasions. haven't had an issue with running out of patience with loading screens really.
Also some of them are completely useless and there is no way to respec your skills at all.
