Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose (www.pcgamer.com)

I haven't played Starfield, but that sounds like No Man's Sky when it first released. A few points of interest per planet, nothing else of note to do there, and the entire planet just became a rather boring trip from point A to point B to point C and nothing more.

    The difference being that was NMS whole loop at launch. Exploring barren and mostly empty planets is just side content to a lot of directed story and side missions here.

    You're saying that doesn't describe the current state of No Man's Sky? The only notable buildings I've found are the same 3 tiny cookie-cutter outposts dotted randomly all across most planets. Oh sorry, 4 now if you count the camps from the Interceptor update and happen to be on a dissonant planet.

    I feel like it wouldn't take much effort to do better so that's sad if Starfield hasn't.
