It's near impossible to tell when enemy ships are hitting or missing you ship in combat. There's no warning that your ship's shields have dropped and you're now taking hull damage apart from taking your eyes off of combat to look in the bottom right corner of the screen. The game has lock-on missiles, but doesn't bother to tell you if there's any way to avoid those when fired at your ship.

    The characters are more annoying than anything else, nearly constantly criticizing anything and everything you do. "Why do you have to try to carry everything?" "We're not going to help this person are we?" "Glad you're finally done sleeping." Jesus Christ Bethesda, if I wanted to get nagged in my down time I'd move back in with my mom.

    Avoid the game until the modding community fixes most of it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game, for me, is just a gigantic disappointment. I remember Todd Howard talking about the moments were the player "discovered" the world of a game, like exiting the Vault in Fallout, and how they made Starfield with two of those moments, one for discovering your world and the other for discovering "the universe". That got me hypped... They showed the ship customization and all that incredible stuff... But when I've played the game and found out that the "space exploration" was fast traveling... Yeah... Niiiiice... Didn't knew I was "space traveling" since Skyrim.

    Besides that, the gameplay is just generic... It's an generic FPS. Nothing special, really. No VATS, no finishing move, no nothing... You go, you shoot the enemy, the enemy is like a bullet sponge, at some point it dies... Yay, innovation at its peak.

    The NPCs are just boring... The animations and voice acting are just bad. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years they come out and reveal that it was all A.I. generated. And one of them, spoiler warning, jump to the next paragraph if you want to play this game, wouldn't stop following me until I finished a quest I didn't signed up for. I was going to go with him retrieve an artifact from some place in a planet called Akila. Arriving there the bank was getting robbed. I just said to the guard "I'll keep that in mind" and tried to move on. The mayor started talking with us and there was NO WAY of not getting involved, of not helping them, not being the "good guy"... I tried, but the freaking space cowboy steps up and say "my friend can be your solution"... I don't want to be the solution. I left the planet and tried to move on to other quests, but the space cowboy wouldn't stop following me until I've finished it's quest. I've tried to kill him, it was impossible. I closed the game, uninstalled and went back to Baldur's Gate 3, a real RPG.

    This game is just garbage.. I was going to give it a 3 out of 10, but as I was writting I just noticed that it is a 1 out of 10 at best. Mods probably will save it at some point, but man... This is just sad. Never buying a Bethesda game before trying it for at least 50 hours.

    If you want to play it, go for it... If you're after an awesome RPG, just play Baldur's Gate.. Or other Bethesda games if you haven't tried them yet. TES Oblivion and Skyrim, or FO3, FONV and/or FO4 are waaaaaaay better than Starfield. And way cheaper too.    … Expand

    Pros :

    Once again, BGS managed to deliver a generation-type game that doesn't rely so much on
    individual mechanics and systems in order to shine,Although being able to design your own spaceship
    is kind of never seen before.The game puts forth what
    The studio is best known for unforgettable experiences.

    Now Starfield is a whole new beast. It's not the type of game you measure by play hours.
    but rather by individual stories and discoveries. You've got to play it at your own pace.
    like the explorer the game wants you to be.

    If you have the right hardware, the game can push out some of the best visuals I have ever seen.
    The designers over at BGS have created the world with mindbogling detail especially on space stuff.
    The art style is a breath of fresh air.and sets a more realistic tone for what humans can achieve
    in the not-so-distant future.

    A galaxy full of stories and history that feels alive and gives you the impression
    that everything can happen at every turn.

    Cons :

    I would like space travel to be more fluid and make me feel that I am actually traveling with my ship,
    not a sim,but not constantly having to go through menus to go somewhere.

    Slow UI and complicated menu navigation that doesn't feel very intuitive, although developers
    have implemented a lot of quality of life stuff, like being able to sell directly from the ship inventory,and others.
    The Fast travel option is ok due to the nature of the game but traveling between planets could have been more than just a loading screen.

    Conclusion :

    There is a kind of romanticism about BGS worlds and stories. A sense of noble endeavors that we like so much, and Starfield may be the best one yet!

    A big thanks to the moding community for elevating the game from day one!

Underwhelming Gameplay: The gameplay in Starfield is a    Title: A Disappointing Descent: The Last Bestheda Game Review

    Starfield is a game that promised so much but ultimately falls short in almost every aspect, leaving players with a bitter taste of disappointment. From its lackluster gameplay to its uninspired story, this game feels like a mere shadow of what it could have been.

    Underwhelming Gameplay:
    The gameplay in Starfield is a mixed bag of mechanics borrowed from other, better games. Combat feels clunky and unpolished, with awkward animations and unresponsive controls. The open-world exploration, which is typically a hallmark of Bethesda games, is plagued by numerous bugs and performance issues that hinder immersion.

    Tedious Quests:
    The main story and side quests are riddled with clichés and offer little in the way of originality. Players are often tasked with mundane objectives that lack depth and fail to engage the player's interest. The dialogue options feel meaningless, as choices rarely have any impact on the narrative.

    Technical Nightmares:
    One of the most glaring issues with Starfield is its technical instability. Frequent crashes, game-breaking bugs, and long loading times make for a frustrating gaming experience. It's as if the game was rushed to release without proper optimization and quality control.

    Graphical Stagnation:
    Graphically, Starfield is a far cry from the standards set by other contemporary titles. The character models are bland and lack detail, while the environments lack the breathtaking beauty that players have come to expect from open-world games. The art direction feels uninspired, and the game world lacks the visual diversity that would make exploration worthwhile.

    Empty World:
    Despite being an open-world game, the world of Starfield feels strangely empty. There are vast stretches of land with little to no meaningful content, leaving players with little incentive to explore. The lack of interesting NPCs and settlements further exacerbates the feeling of emptiness.

    In conclusion, Starfield is a game that fails to live up to the expectations set by previous Bethesda titles. It's a perfect example of how a promising concept can be marred by poor execution. With its unimpressive gameplay, technical issues, and lack of innovation, it's difficult to recommend this game to anyone looking for a fulfilling gaming experience. Bethesda must take a hard look at its development practices and prioritize quality over profit if it hopes to win back the trust of its once-loyal fan base.    … Expand

    How the hell is this underperforming you ask, well let me tell you, a garbage game engine and lazy optimization.

    Let's get passed the stuttery immersion-breaking performance (with DLSS and optimization mods - not much of a difference). Next, I would like to invite you to Bugfield gameplay:
    * Objects spinning out of control.
    * Companion getting stuck on terrain.
    * Objects clipping through doors.
    * Jetpack appearing as if from nowhere, and disappearing when you stop using it???
    * Headless NPCs in conversation.
    * Invisible companion NPC in scripted conversations, probably still stuck somewhere...
    * Bugged enemy AI - Shooting the floor, taking cover while half of their body is open (literally my 8-year-old cousin is better at hiding).
    * Bugged space combat.
    And many many more.

    In terms of gameplay, most of it is spent in menus either playing the inventory accountant or "traveling through space" by basically being teleported everywhere...
    Oh, and when you land in a city for the first time, the game doesn't have a map, so good luck finding store locations.

    This game literally insults your intelligence by trying to waste your valuable time with random tasks like fetch quests. 0 innovation whatsoever.

Had this game been released years ago alongside titles like Skyrim and Fallout, it might have found its place among the cookie-cutter RPGs of that era.

    Space travel game that doesn't allow you to explore space freely in an open world, lacking immersion, with a boring main mission, repetitive secondary missions and objectives, mediocre graphics, poor artificial intelligence, and uninteresting NPC characters.

    Loading screen... Loading screen... You cannot fast travel while overloaded

    Starfield? Seems like it is about space, well - you get only unbalanced space combat. So the only thing you need your spacecraft is.... to store and craft items. And maybe you want just to customize it and make it look nice, but try to figure out how the build mode actually functions because the controls are crazy.

    Fast travel.... Loading screen.... Loading screen... Loading screen

    Exploring planets? You do not get any normal exploration, you get 3 points where you can land on the planet, and even if you select this point it will just generate another location on the planet for you.

    Shooting looks and feels really bad, I also dislike that crosshair that is located in the middle of the whole screen - ugly, white, big and uncomfortable.

    But you do not understand, this is the next-gen game that has poor animations and effects but still require 4090 to stably play at least 60 FPS. Do you think it will not be enough? Well, with 4060 on high settings and 2k resolution the card is not even 50% loaded, so probably Bethesda needs to fix the optimization.. oh wait, players will create modes and will fix everything, forget about Bethesda, they did what they did and will not even try to fix anything.

    This is an AAA title for 2014, and I don’t know where to start. You know, thinking about it… take a couple things away and this game’s core gameplay loop would be possible in the 90s. So, GOTY 1999.

    Terribly animated faces kills any entertainment from the dialogue, and inspires a feeling of loneliness.
    Horrible enemy AI makes combat stupidly easy, I mean… I’ve actually found myself laughing during some of the combat sequences, perhaps some of the fans of the game will explain it as a planet specific thing where a lack of oxygen is causing the enemies to act more irregularly?

    Basically, the core problem for me is the gameplay loop. It literally feels like a point and click adventure (hence 1999 GOTY). Loading screen, click, loading screen, click, loading screen, maybe walk a little (ooooo! exciting!) oh… loading screen, click, loading screen, walk, dialogue… with ‘tired faces’

    Two things I have enjoyed however, the persuasion system is quite interesting - though I feel the dialogue options don’t really stack well. There could have been more work put in to make the persuasion conversation flow better.

    And the music is good, love the jingle when you level up. But first time I did level up, during combat, I found myself almost embarrassed by the jingle’s attempt to inspire excitement, considering how much I was cringing already.

    Concluding, the game is definitely not worth full price, considering what amazing developments in RPGs we’ve seen in 2023. But as part of the Xbox game pass, give it a shot.    … Expand

    Graphics animations should not be prioritised over gameplay, gameplay is by far the most important quality in any game. But, the gameplay in starfield is slow, the combat is subpar compared to most modern FPS games, and the story line is lacking any depth or intrigue.

    This game turned out to be a huge disappointment, its a mediocre Bethesda game and a downright awful space game.

    For starters the space is fake, theres no exploration. Ships are purposefully designed to be slow as molases (despite having tech for warp engine across galaxies) so you dont stray far from the planets atmosphere (which btw is a fake png too) unless you hit throttle for literally hours on end

    How convenient huh? That space ships with warp technology across technology, moves so slow it cant move around solar system at reasonable speeds

    I say convenient because this is a intentional cap to mask and hide the fake space, theres no space its just a map with quick travel loading screens. The planets are just segmented levels which you quick travel to

    tl,dr If you're looking for a space game, avoid this game its terrible, a waste of money and time    … Expand

    "Starfield vs. No Man's Sky: A Galactic Fiasco"

    When it comes to space exploration games, the bar was set pretty low with the infamous launch of No Man's Sky.

    When it comes to space exploration games, the bar was set pretty low with the infamous launch of No Man's Sky. However, Starfield somehow manages to plummet even further into the abyss of disappointment. Comparing Starfield to No Man's Sky is like trying to decide which spaceship has more holes in it – they're both disastrous in their own right. Here's how Starfield manages to outdo No Man's Sky in the realm of galactic failure:

    Graphics Downgrade: While No Man's Sky was criticized for its initial graphical promises, Starfield manages to pull off a downgrade of epic proportions. The visuals are shockingly outdated, with textures that make No Man's Sky's planets look like a work of art. Even with its rocky start, No Man's Sky eventually improved its graphics, whereas Starfield takes a step backward.

    Content Void: No Man's Sky was initially lambasted for its lack of content, but over the years, Hello Games worked tirelessly to add substantial updates and features. In contrast, Starfield launches with an embarrassingly limited amount of content. It feels like an empty void, with little to see, do, or explore. No Man's Sky may have started as a barren landscape, but it evolved; Starfield, on the other hand, feels stagnant.

    Glitch-Infested Space: Both games have their share of bugs, but Starfield takes it to a whole new level. It's as if Bethesda saw No Man's Sky's launch issues and decided to double down. From game-breaking crashes to hilarious physics mishaps, Starfield is a veritable smorgasbord of glitches.

    Stale Gameplay: No Man's Sky faced criticism for repetitive gameplay, but Starfield somehow manages to make it even more boring. The endless scanning, resource gathering, and menial tasks feel like a punishment rather than gameplay. No Man's Sky may have had a rocky start, but it's since added depth and variety to its gameplay.

    Lack of Innovation: No Man's Sky at least attempted to innovate the space exploration genre with its procedurally generated universe and ambitious concepts. Starfield, on the other hand, feels like a carbon copy of old space games with little to distinguish itself from its predecessors.

    Microtransactions and DLC: No Man's Sky eventually introduced free updates that significantly improved the game, earning back some goodwill. Starfield, however, opts for the path of microtransactions and paid DLC, further frustrating players who expected a complete experience from the start.

    In summary, Starfield's launch is a disheartening reminder of how a game can fail to learn from the mistakes of its predecessors. It manages to underperform in every aspect when compared to the comeback story of No Man's Sky. Bethesda's attempt at entering the space exploration genre feels uninspired, unfinished, and a disservice to gamers who were hoping for something truly stellar. Save your interstellar adventures for No Man's Sky – it's the lesser of two galactic disappointments.    … Expand

    3) friezes and bugs.
    4) Endless download simulator.

    Play, in early access, (via Game Pass) by purchasing the Deluxe version.
    Only FSR and no DLSS at day One? (Maybe never). I have no intention of financing a modder for something that, in 2023, Bethesda and Microsoft should implement (especially in a product like this) without ifs and buts! AMD or no AMD!

    Want to practise lockpicking? Nope, no novice lock to be seen.
    Main storyline is boring, rest is fetch quest with sometimes a little branching (by that I mean you can steal stuff or deliver stuff).
    Only thing worst what voice acting is mimics.
    After that long development and delays that game should be at least working.

    You are carrying too much to write this review... the amount of playtesting this game must of went through and yet the menus are absolutely garbage, the carry limit is too small, the amount food items heal you is ridiculous.. 3HP

    Pc optimization is poor and the game is buggy. No DLSS without modding is brain melting.

    Plein de buf et les promesses ne sont absolument pas tenus.

    Ce jeux mérite 5 ans de développement de plus pour être finalisé.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An awful blend of Mass Effect, NMS/Elite, Destiny 2 and every Bethesda game you've already played. Swirled together in a toilet to water down every element that made those games special. They did add some game-breaking new {{features}} err, bugs along with pages on pages of unfilterable menus to wade through compressed in a UI that looks like an Alpha build mock up. Anything another game can do in 2 clicks, this one will make you page through to do nearly everything - travel, manage inventory, assign crew, etc. This is not a game that can be redeemed with mods - there are fundamental flaws in game design, balance, performance and QA testing that make this a burden to play.

    They also managed to make a far worse ending than Mass Effect 3, taking away all player choice and agency. A boring, anti-climatic denouement that feels meaningless and devoid of meaning or substance.

    The worst Bethesda game since Redguard.    … Expand

    The menu system is so blatantly designed for controllers, it is incredibly awkward and unintuitive to use with mouse and keyboard.

    Ship-building is a frustrating experience, because the game does not explain the features or functionalities of the different ship parts

    This is probably one of Bethesda's poorest outings to date, if we ignore FO76. What we have here is Fallout 4, a disappointing sequel to a beloved franchise, thrown into an incredibly shallow space setting.

    Most quests are simply walking back and forth between a few people, constantly waiting for doors to open and/or simply fast travelling everywhere. This has been their format since    This is probably one of Bethesda's poorest outings to date, if we ignore FO76. What we have here is Fallout 4, a disappointing sequel to a beloved franchise, thrown into an incredibly shallow space setting.

    Most quests are simply walking back and forth between a few people, constantly waiting for doors to open and/or simply fast travelling everywhere. This has been their format since Oblivion, and their lazy design in this regard necessitates the fast travel mechanic. Which is why it is arguably more prominent here than in any other game. Bethesda haven't learned how to make better quests, they have just made much more of them and allowed other mechanics to smooth over the poor designs. Sometimes you'll find that fast travel to a location is locked off for some reason, but if you choose to use the mission listing to plot the route there, it has no problem allowing you to travel there. It all feels very lazy and ill-thought out and makes the notion of exploration laughable.

    Combat perks are once again just damage buffs 90% of the time, with very few actually relating to any sort of "skill" advancement. This has been a thorn in the side of BGS games since Skyrim and it doesn't feel any better here. Though at least there are some other options here and there to pick from. There isn't really much to ship combat either. If you have played any space exploration game in the last 20 years, it will all seem very familiar and arguably dated. I'm not really sure why it's causing such a stir.

    All in all, there is a lot of pointless and unrewarding things to do in this game. If you like doing lots of pointless unrewarding things in a terribly buggy and poorly executed game, you will truly love this. There is a lot of talk about "Game of a Generation", and I think it comes from those that don't understand just how shallow and poorly implemented all of this is. There is nothing special here, just a LOT of half baked content.    … Expand

    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.
