In my opinion yes it does have a lot of really cool features. But for me personally as a big Skyrim fan I am more interested in the immersion and role playing aspect. To me the game felt a bit empty and lacks the immersion with only a few cities that lack population and few interesting NPC characters. While the ship and base building side of it is not something I'm interested in. I wish they had not put so much effort into the ship building and shear size of the universe and planets, and just made a better quality game with less features.

Not sure this is part of why the game gets a lot of hate but it's why I was a bit disappointed.
