Same I played for like 12 hours on a gamepass sub a while ago and it just felt like a giant slog. Thought it would be cool to visit the market place thing and get some ship or clothing upgrades and after visiting like 4 planets and running around each for several hours I was like 8% of the way to a ship upgrade I didn’t boot it up again. I was probably missing portions or missions or milestones or something but wasn’t immediately obvious to me
