Yes, yes it is.  And I still haven't played it!

Amazingly, I have played it.  At this point I look at most new games and
think that might be fun to play in 10 years when I finally get around
to buying it.  I mean I still haven't played Skyrim or Fallout 4 yet
which are 13 and 9 years old repectively.

But I got Starfield free with my new video card, and so it became the
the first game I played at launch since Morrowind.  I actually think
it's a decent game.  It has the same basic problem of all the Bethesda
RPGs of combat becoming very easy once you progress in the game, but
for the most part I liked the story and the characters.

It helped that I was comparing it many ways to No Man's Sky.  Starfield
procedurally generated worlds don't have as much diversity in terms of
terrian, flora and fuana as No Man's Sky, but they felt a lot more real
than No Man's Sky's psychedelic worlds.  Starfield also has a much wider
selection of handmade points of interest to randomly drop on the map.
