The game is fine. It's on Gamepass so I'd play it through that, I wouldn't pay the full retail for it.

Mostly I was referencing that the quests are fairly flat and uninspiring.

For what it's worth, game quality-wise, I finished one playthrough in about 80 hrs and while there's a NG+ mechanic that many seem to be enjoying, I wasn't too interested in that. I really liked the ship building mechanic, and I had a lotta fun leveling up to see all the new ship parts and play with em.

Maybe after the modding scene develops more (though it looks like it'll get there) I'll come back to it if it's still on Gamepass
