I got so damn bored. After 40 hours I put the game down and said to myself "I don't think I'll be playing this again." It just all seemed so pointless.

Pointless is definitely the word. Some of he coolest systems in the game are ship building and base building, but the half baked new game plus bullshit gameplay loop fucking deletes all that

Couple of hours in (on console) and it just feels a bit fiddly, and... not sure why I need to be doing what I am. There's some attempt at providing intrigue, but none of it makes me want to come back. I got an Xbox and Game Pass for it, yet I've been playing Slay the Spire (which I've already played hundreds of hours on Deck/PC) a lot instead.

You can't even get 40 hours playtime in most games.

[–] WytchStar@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Most games don't aim to provide hundreds.

If you can't get 40 hours out of a AAA game then it wasn't a AAA game.

True, but games are different and an open-world game should be fun for far longer than for example a linear shooter, due to density and freedom with sandbox elements.
