Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World" (www.vg247.com)

You'll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that's kind of the point.

That depends what you're going in expecting. Bethesda have been very clear that this isn't a Space Opera but more hard-sci-fi. I don't expect cities on every planet and alien political intrigue. I expect a cold, barren and uncaring universe that humans are trying to tame.

And the only metrics here would be "is the game fun" in the end. Is exploring barren planets fun? Good. Is it not? Then it doesn't matter that real life Mars is even more boring

Fun is subjective though isn't it?

Not surprising to see them get complaints about this tbh. They went for "borderline horror game" with how much of a miserable wasteland Fallout 3 was and got blasted for it.
