This game is exactly what I was looking for in a space game. A simple and fun RPG in space.

Pros:
Great gunplay and side questing.
Decent story with a unique spin on new game plus
Tons of loot and plenty of play styles.
Great ship combat and plenty of ways to deal with your opponents.
I enjoyed the Side Characters and their stories for the most part. Had fun adventuring with most of them.
Base building and ship building and fun and meaningful.

Cons:
Tons of loading screens (if you download this to your main drive its not an issue, they are really short)
Some modern day politics, AKA choosing your body type, choosing pronouns and diversity check boxes checked. (Its a minor issue but, it seems like every big publisher is doing just because.)
Still has some glitches. Most were minor but they can be immersion breaking. (Lip syncing was off from time to time and NPC movement was not great sometimes.)
I had one hard crash. I could not recreate this and the auto saves are very generous.
Lackluster exploration. Its fine for what it can do but if you played No Man Sky or any other space game there is better

Conclusion:
If you like Bethesda games your going to like this one. If you don't then this won't change your mind.
Space Pirate for Life!
