I bought a series x just for this game and I couldn't have been more disappointed with just how empty and soulless everything feels. It reminds me a bit of NMS at launch but unlike NMS, the dev team at Bethesda won't spend the next 10 years making the Starfield experience right for fans. I have no doubt they'll re-release monetized anniversary editions of essentially the same game with player made content over that span of time but don't think for a second they'll make the game what it should have been from the start.
This game was originally going to release two years ago without Microsoft making sure it got more QA than Bethesda is known for. Microsoft or not, the game design and feature completeness likely wouldn't have moved an inch.
Hi-Fi Rush, for a counter example, was one of the best games of the year.
