Starfield, is it getting review bombed? (youtu.be)

Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

I'm 20 hours in and not having a good time. Feels like I'm forcing myself to play instead of looking forward to it.

It's just... bland. There's no memorable characters, no breathtaking worlds, no addictive gameplay loops or memorable story. Just go here, fight pirates, click on one thing, 30 seconds cutscene of talking, repeat.

I really, really want to love Starfield but I just don't get it.
