I don't think I like a single one of the systems they've added to this game post-launch. It's a shallow mess of unending tasks and upkeep. The relatively infinite cosmos at your fingertips, the wonder of space on tap, and they've furnished it with what feels like an insatiable fear that you might for one second be unoccupied. Unbothered.

If they let you hit a button to disable the mission log, and jettison most of the Fun to opt-in, that might be nice. Could be something. It's just incessant, the noise, the overtures beseeching you onto a plethora of colorful, ornate treadmills that all end up the exact same place.

Nowhere. They're treadmills.
