I disagree that Starfield doesn't let you explore like the other Bethesda games, it's more like if you took the map of FO4, took 10% of each section and spread it across 10+ different planets. All of the content is still there....it's just disconnected and feels barren because if you turn away from the pretty sections they made, there's nothing around it. I don't mind the storytelling, but the most of the quests are rough. If these quests were in any other game, the game would be considered generic and forgotten in a week. Also, the space combat is junk. I don't know what good space combat looks like, but this isn't it. It's not rewarding, and I dread any time I encounter it.
I love the ship building aspect, but then I never truly get to use it. Feels like a waste. Also when you finally find a planet with life and do a survey, all of the buildings you go into on the way are buildings you've already seen and cleared. Enemies in the same spots. Items in the same spots. I love exploring in games and here its like.. okay I guess ill just mine the same three rocks while I run 800m to a location that never seems to pay off. Sure would be nice if I could fly my dope ship over the horizon instead
