i often criticize bethesda rpgs for having clunky and unsatisfying combat (even in elder scrolls), which makes starfield an anomaly. the combat is... fine. not especially remarkable but guns are responsive and its not built on a gimmick like VATs.
its everything ELSE that feels clunky. just opening menus is slow and janky, like the game's putting up a fight every time. i can almost see it groaning whenever i press tab.
