    The rush in releasing the game has ruined it. I don't know why people lie to themselves that it's an Xbox 360 game and not a new generation

    There's no space trip at all: only hopping from one planet to another plagued by loading. That's why so many early players made fun of this game by calling out "Loading-field." Perhaps it is more prudent to wait for discounts rather than risk your money by trying to play it right now. Certain that this game will be on sale very soon given its underwhelming performance and overpricing.

    The bad:

    * Quite dated graphics (it looks almost 10 years old; a lot of the game looks and plays like Fallout 4, but in space without any of the charm). * Super weird characters (dark voids for mouths, lots of awkward stares, weird lipsyncing, etc). * Bad camera (needs better interpolation and optional bobbing). * Bad and boring combat. * Extremely glitchy physics (extreme recoil on    The bad:

    * Super weird characters (dark voids for mouths, lots of awkward stares, weird lipsyncing, etc).
    * Bad camera (needs better interpolation and optional bobbing).
    * Bad and boring combat.
    * Extremely glitchy physics (extreme recoil on death, etc).
    * Very buggy.
    * Uninspired dialogues with meaningless choices (similar to Fallout 4).
    * God-awful UI/UX.
    * Greedy corporate behaviour surrounding the release (e.g. early access just for the sake of milking money)
    * Poorly done procedural content generation.
    * An insane amount of rehashing of environments with zero variation.
    * Very bad writing.
    * Terrible lack of options (no FOV slider, no gamma etc sliders, limited graphics options, etc).
    * Bad optimization (don't expect to be able to play at a smooth and consistent 120+ FPS at 4K).
    * Bad shading (there's an awful tonemapping that crushes blacks and makes everything a washed out mess + color banding galore).
    * Broken HDR in 2023.
    * Constant load screens.
    * All the environments feel like isolated areas, ruining immersion.
    * It's a Bethesda game.
    * Many of the "critic" reviews have definitely been bought.
    * Kinda meh progression.
    * NPCs are extremely static (not much life-like scheduling and behaviour).
    * Soulless.

    The not bad:

    * Seems to run fairly well on Linux with Proton/DXVK.
    * It's an uncommon setting-genre combo.
    * It's moddable.
    * It has some potential far down the line.
    * Some environments are fairly pretty, despite the dated graphics.

    TL;DR:

    It's extremely bad as a space sim (play Elite or X3 instead).
    It's bad as an RPG (play Baldur's Gate 3, New Vegas, Mass Effect 2, or something else instead).
    It's bad as a shooter.

    Save your money or wait for multiple patches and mod maturation before playing this overpriced garbage.    … Expand

    For 20 years of development time of a company worth billions, which have as a goal to dominate the market, this is just an extremely bad joke. I can also in no way understand the 100 point ratings of some magazines. Since the game is already extremely bad.

    My recommendation on Starfield right now is to wait 1 or 2 months and see what Bethesta can fix in terms of bugs and issues. Some of the issues might sadly be too problematic to even fix. Combat AI for example. But until these issues are sorted, the game is simply not worth playing - knowing it could be done better. The game is only 4 out of 10 until these fixes go through.

It's a huge woke push for women to be represented putting men the in roles of the bad guys and push the good men to be side npc's to NPC's themselves.

    It's exactly the woke you expect. The only thing they got right is giving women proper hair styles and not short blue or green hair.

I do want to WARN you, though - the opening missions force you to interact with the story for a few hours. You do have to do that before you get let off the leash (2-4 hours).

    So, lets just talk gameplay:

    Combat - stand directly in front of the enemy and just keep shooting them (20 levels above you? eh whatever).
    Settlement Building - awkward
    Ship Building - extremely awkward
    Exploration - its a 20x20 cube of a forest, desert, or glacier copy-pasted about 500 times with 3 locations that are randomly generated. They're mostly caves.
    Space Exploration - non-existent, you're selecting what random grouping of landing zones (save for a handful, all procedurally generated) you want to see
    Companions - will absolutely not shut up to the point where I can't tell if its a bug

    It paints a really bleak picture of humanity, since 95% (edited from 90% now that I have more time in the game) of human encounters are just bandits who talk exactly like Fallout bandits - over-the-top 'chaotic evil' ****
    But *worse,* it just isn't even fun - this is the most boring game I've played in 20 years.

    Edit: I want to add now that I've put in 5 or 6 more hours into this, the procedurally generated locations are actually duplicated item for item. I've come across the same abandoned UC listening post on 4 different worlds.

    Based on my experience there's only 10 or so locations and they're just copy-pasted on worlds that themselves are randomly generated copy-paste messes. As is the flora and fauna. I've come across a wolf-like creature with a graboid head on every single world with life. It's usually called a "trapjaw" of some kind, they just change the colors and one of the adjectives to describe it (if you're lucky).    … Expand

    Soulless political messaging platform that under-delivers on the implied promise of its advertising and lacks the open world you play a Bethesda game for.
    Instead you get uninspired strings of fishbowl instances and the entirety of space is merely a separate fishbowl you have to fast travel to before you fast travel again to the fishbowl you intended to reach. Isolated space arenas that may or may not have anything to do in it before you can fast travel once again to the destination, which is probably an empty landscape that mostly looks the same as every other empty landscape you've visited and are forced to walk slowly across to find the quest marker, and maybe pass the random structure you've seen 12 times already with next to no variation between its instances.
    The worldbuilding is complete garbage that flies in the face of realism, the world is not believable at all with a near complete lack of identity behind the superficial veneers advertising a faction, as somehow after 200 years or something the remains of humanity still have a cosmopolitan modern PC political persuasion with random accents from any given modern day country that was already nearly a century out of date before humans had their exodus from Earth in the timeline.
    Overall it feels like there are many missing or incomplete systems that they scrapped or really should have thought about implementing.
    The near unusable "Map" they have is the most glaring example. They practically don't have a map. Much like the rest of the game being a fast travel simulator, the map's only function is to see and click fast travel nodes as the map is otherwise entirely unreadable.

    Bethesda games have taken up perhaps 70% of my lifelong gaming hours and it was a foregone conclusion tat I would have bought Starfield so yes, I preordered it, and the 100$ early access version no less.
    I regret it. I might not buy TES6 at this point, as it's unlikely they'll improve by then- They'll surely get worse the same as other once-great studio names that get hollowed out over time until they're a pox on their own history.    … Expand

    It is not 2011 anymore.
    The game mechanics, the AI, the story and everything in the game is outdated.

    There's a lot of flaws in space in Starfield. But that does not prevent me from exploring our galaxy again and again.

    I fell in love with Starfield. It's my cup of sci-fi and I can't wait to spend the next thirty, fifty, maybe seventy hours here. I enjoy the exploration, the shootouts, the art style, the ship building, and the diverse worlds. I gratefully acknowledge the good optimization and the absence of major bugs. But I can't overlook the flaws. There are bad animations, ugly faces and repetitive moments.[Issue#329]

    In a year dominated by sequels to franchise favorites, there was a hope that Starfield would carve its own path to success. While the team at Bethesda should be commended for taking such a big swing, there’s no denying that the game doesn’t feel like a cohesive work. Maybe continued support and future sequels will make something more meaningful out of a work that is clearly deeply enamored with both science fiction and space exploration. Unforunately, this first launch has had far more mixed results than desired.
