Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There are so many different facets to the gameplay, and besides what's needed to fulfill the main quest line, you can choose where to focus your time and attention based on which elements you enjoy most and what kind of experience you want to have.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Thankfully you can build and complete missions with items stored anywhere on your property, and you can offload inventory into existing all existing chest stacks with one button once after a trip, but you still need to have stuff in your inventory to sell or give gifts for some reason.
