Decent Bethesda open world game. Probably has the most solid combat and gunplay of anything they've made and a few interesting quests here and there.

Main issue I had with the game is how many steps it takes to do things in the game. In order to modify weapons you need the perk that allows you take research that upgrade, then you need to gather resources you need for that research project, and then once the project has been completed you need to do another round of resource gathering to craft the specific upgrade you want. It's a tedious process that made me not want to engage with the mechanic at all. Ship customisation and base building also have a similar issue of things locked behind unlocking a bunch of perks that I'd rather invest in things that make me better in combat or in exploring and looting the open world.

Visually the game looks very nice and I did find exploring engaging for quite a bit. Lots of good opportunities to take nice looking screenshots.

Modifying weaponry requiring such an unnecessarily complicated process is made specially bad when you add the fact that enemies drop modified weapons, so after you've gone through all of the trouble to mod your gun in a cool way the next fight will have a random enemy literally drop a better version of it.
