Depth is what Starfield is lacking, imo. It fixes a lot of what both skyrim and f4 did wrong (there're backgrounds, they affect your skills, and they come up from time to time, to mention one), but they regressed so hard on other things. They tried new stuff but the delivery was so limp dicked that everything landed awkwardly, or not at all. Think the game suffered because of scope creep, honestly, if they had limited the game to just a handful of planets, they could've tailored the experience and they wouldn't feel so empty.
And as always, their obsession to let you do everything in one playthrough hurt the game hard. There's very little reason to go for a second playthrough.
Like, they did a good job with most of the game's mechanics, but everything else is mid as hell. Very forgettable.
