Starfield isn't online. It's very much a single-player RPG. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think I have about 200 hours into it. The biggest problem is that while there is a vast galaxy to explore, there's not much point. You can travel wherever you want, but unless you're doing a mission, there's not much to do once you get there. Walking around looking at plants and animals gets boring very quickly.
The way enemies scale with your skill level isn't great, either. Maybe it's how I spec'd my character, but at the higher levels, I am essentially invincible in person-to-person combat but ship-to-ship combat is exceptionally difficult.
It's still one of my favorite games, but it doesn't lend itself to replayability after a while.
