It's just not a very good game.
• Shooting feels mediocre compared to other fps/tps games in the genre
• Planet exploration is boring, randomly generated PoI aren't even proper pseudo random with interchangeable tiles, you'll quickly encounter repeat locations with repeat items in the exact same spots
• Ship building is pointless
• Base building is pointless
• Most items are junk and the ones you would use won't be sold by vendors, making the credit system pointless outside of upgrading your ship
• Crafting worse than Fallout 4
• Mechanically less of an RPG than Fallout 4, which is hard to do as Bethesda seems keen on trimming rpg mechanics on each new release
• Dialogue & story are very safe, nothing stands out as uniquely interesting

and worst of all is when I play a Bethesda game my favorite thing to do is travel a large open world environment, but because of the insistence on having thousands of dead planets the only travel you do uses excessive amounts of loading screens to bring you within 900m of some point of interest.
I wish I could refund, but I wanted to give it a proper chance before dismissing what I felt within an hour of playing.

I've been around to watch this project grow from a fledgling project called "Slasher" through the engine swap from Unity to UE4 and rebranding into Mordhau. I've played the prototype, alpha, and now release. This product has been a seriously great addition to a niche genre, and helped bring about a new cohort of melee games lovers. Combat is accessible to new players, but familiar to veterans of the genre. New mechanics such as clashes, chambers, morphs, and alt grips / modes for every weapon provides a ton of depth to explore. Overall this is a must have for any medieval melee games fan.

Note: Skill is very polarizing, you may join one lobby and be king of the match, then join another and be just another corpse to drag. Having a good sense of humor and ability to judge ones ability will help immensely in staving off the sting of defeat. You will die a lot.
