Been reading various reviews of Starfield after its release and carefully trying to assemble a good mental model of what it's like, and this is what I've got so far —

Yeah, Starfield's procedurally generated content is boring and the planets are samey, and its space travel and planetary exploration are a bit limited (although according to a professional reviewer of space sims I trust, its spaceship building, combat, and flight model is actually pretty good!), but its handcrafted content and RPG elements are apparently (according to several people) absolutely amazing and the best Bethesda have ever done, a return to form for them, the gunplay is good, and there's more handcrafted content than most entire games have so you don't gotta fuck with the procedural stuff if you don't want to.
