repeated crash on startup
originals work better
so much for a remaster
"The force is not with this one"

So, it's basically been said to death. The main draw of their games is exploring lots of handmade zones and how they interact. But in this game they decided to slice that world up and divide it into 1000 parts separated by 100s of loading screens and unskippable animations.
This is less noticeable while focusing on the main quest, but straying from that path you will quickly encounter the same handful of pregenerated/random generated scenarios to encounter.
random crashed starship on a world?
random stranded guy who needs medkits?
a missing miner trapped in a mine?
a robot facility taken over by raiders?
you will literally encounter these exact same scenarios with the exact same types of NPCS on completely different parts of the solar system

If you liked Fallout 4's or Skyrims radiant quests you will love it
if not? just sit this one out
I have 0 hope for TES VI

Runs like complete A** and I'm not on a toaster

It may get fixed eventually but the lag, stutter and frame drops make some sections more challenging than they should be

If it gets patched I'll change it to Recommend

Performance like this on a so called AAA release is unacceptable, even with the delays

I would recommend. It's the most polished souls experience with the benefit of being an open world game letting the player progress at their own pace.

PROS
plenty to do and explore I've nearly 240 hours and I'm still finding new enemies and locations
lots of viable and fun builds
cool boss fights even if some are recycled, what do you expect in a massive open world.

CONS
Multiplayer can be spotty, I constantly get disconnected while CO-OPing to help with bosses or the boss is invisible for me for a time.
Many enemies have cheap and unavoidable damage where no matter what you do you will still get hit at least once unless you spend 100s of hours dying to them over and over again to learn the pattern which really slows down the pace and progression of the game. For example Mohg's Blood Curse and Malenia/Milicent and their 60 hit combo of death

I like the game, but it doesn't work
They've somehow managed to brick this AGAIN
I spent weeks getting the older version running and fairly stable for a bethesda game, and always ran through the script extender which is now broken. GG Bethesda, releasing a patch 10 years too late

Good enough, for now

as of this post the Battpepass and Progression are better but still lacking, especially compared to MCC which only requires you to play the game, especially however you want. Multiplayer is still buggy, with random crashes usually when I'm about to win a match or our team has nearly fully scored. Apparently they think you quit early if it crashes too much.

I will revise the review if necessary


EDIT

MP is still buggy, FIESTA is a Joke considering you can be easily overwhelmed by poor placement, enemy team spawns with rockets, swords, hammers, snipers, etc and you get trash like the plasma pistol and pulse carbine or ravager that have been NERFED into worthlessness


EDIT 2

Challenges are BROKEN and do not update and it's been like this since Dec 8th when campaign dropped
Especially true for the challenge events like Tenrai Fiesta
This is unacceptable
BTB has been broken for over a month, and the only thing you can play now instead is Tactical Slayer


I won't be coming back until it's fixed and things are achievable by playing.
Its a shame because the Campaign is fun, I'll stick with MCC until these issues are resolved, hopefully it doesnt take 4 years to fix like MCC did.

What else is there to be said, while no where near as content dry as the 2015 entry this new release is still lacking, 3 variants of the milenium falcon? why?
Keeps crashing, and while I'm not using a super computer, its far from a toaster

The most fun I've had is with instant action, it feels the most like the original SWBF(Classic) and SWBFII(Classic) which I would rather play

I honestly wonder why they didn't just remake the first 2 games with all the stuff from the new movies and shows added in.

Lots of fun.

I typically don't enjoy multiplayer games but this one does it well. Its challenging and requires cooperation from everyone which keeps everyone in the group on their toes

There are some bugs, like crawler zombies getting stuck on floor barricades, rendering them nigh invulnerable except for a shotgun blast to the knees. Others are graphical such as glowing weapons.
I'd recommend it, and am looking forward to NMRiH 2
