Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored' (www.pcgamer.com)

coming from elite dangerous, flying in NMS feels incredibly simplified. landing is literally "push a button to land". either way, they both beat starfield in that department

    Totally it is but that’s the style. The game isn’t trying to simulate complexity, it’s more a kick back and relax game masquerading as a prog-rock album cover. Pressing X to let your ship land itself gives you just enough time to hit a joint and make a plan.

    Landing or taking off isn't interrupted with a loading screen in either game. You also have freedom of pointing ship to a direction and go there.

    Those two things combine to make you feel like you are moving around the game world as opposed to game world moving around you.
