It's mediocre. I gave it a hell of a chance by trying to complete it 100% and even started NG+ but by god does this game not have anything that stands out. It's Oblivion in space.
One of my biggest issues with it and which made it such a bore to properly finish is the fact that it's way too easy. I had to change the game from normal, to hard, to very hard and even then I was breezing through all fights on land and 90% of the ones in space.
Then not surprisingly there's no point to anything. They ask you to sneak if you don't you get a three different pieces of dialogue and nothing else. They give you the option to persuade you don't/fail, you get the damn information anyway. You join one faction and then you immediately join another faction that doesn't like the first one and nothing is said (plus the options for special dialogue from being part of a faction happen like what, 3 times per faction?).
One of the focal points is exploring planets and yet, what's the point? What's there to see? Same ten bugs and plants and scan and then what?
This game is wasted potential because things are designed beautifully, it's also one of the most sciency sci-fi games I've seen which to me is a positive and yet nothing is done with it. It's empty, nothing matters and still, bugs a bit too much.
