People are weird when it comes to Bethesda. If you like Bethesda games, you'll probably like this one. I haven't gotten to play myself yet but watching friends who have it it looks fun. Does it look 10/10 GOTY? Not really. But it looks full* of fun stuff.
I think in some way all Bethesda games can feel 'boring', but kinda in a good way? Like sometimes you're just wandering a city with no real goal. It isn't thrilling or adrenaline pumping, but it's cool and immersive. Some people find that kind of slower pace boring. I think it's cool. Not everything gotta be full throttle all the time.

LOL yeah i missed that one. Not even really a huge fan I just try to temper expectations goin in
I think they've been putting out very similar games since like fallout 3. If that's what you are looking for, it's fun. People for some reason seem to put unrealistic expectations on things. I assume this game is just improved graphics fallout 3 in space. Which isn't a bad thing, but if you expect a revolutionary game you are in for disappointment.
Some of my friends played and immediately hated it and brought up comparisons to newer games, but this isn't the new Unreal engine, this is the same Creation Engine they've been using for 11 years, which is based on the 26yr old gamebryo engine.
Personally as someone who loves Bethesda games, and who understands the limitations of the engine, I am thoroughly enjoying myself, will it beat bg3 for goty? Unlikely, but it's still fun
At some point they gotta ditch the Creation engine and make a new one from scratch. The reason Halo Infinite ended up being a turd was because of its engine.
TES6 is confirmed to be using Creation Engine as well... That's like 4 or 5 years down the line. Think of that
That's about what I was expecting, glad to hear it's mostly true. I'll be able to play it in a couple days
