I liked it well enough. Not enough to repeat the loop 11 times. But enough to finish the game and find that idea inside with a some work. It wasn't bad enough for me to write it off completely.

I enjoyed the ship building a lot. It felt innovative to me. It was a blast and pretty well done. The bulls I've seen out there range from insane to just freaking cool.

I thought the possibility of killing off your spouse or main companion was innovative and painful. I put the game down for a few hours to decide how to move forward. Save scum or live with my path despite that loss.

The hate bandwagon for games seems a bit out of control these days. People are literally going into the community for those games just to talk shit.. Not to be constructive or to hear why people like it. Just to be mad and try to convince others they can't possibly like it. It's weird.
