    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Starfield was announced, I was stoked, ready to strap on my space boots and blast off! But rather than a cosmic carnival, I found myself on a not-so-merry-go-round of repetitive tasks sprinkled with cringe woke American nonsense.

    TL;DR: Starfield promised an intergalactic adventure but delivered a mixed bag of repetitive quests, a clunky UI, and space combat woes. While there are some standout moments and impressive voice acting, the game's immersion is frequently broken by bugs, unbalanced combat, and heavy-handed political overtones. In space, everyone might hear you scream... but mostly at the bugs and UI.

    1. Main Questline Missteps: There are some redeemable questlines sprinkled throughout the game, but the main questline is painfully underwhelming. It's primarily reduced to fetch quests. The pattern of collecting artifacts followed by traveling to barren planets to solve the same repetitive temple "puzzle" becomes stale very quickly. Moreover, the powers introduced come off as a thinly-veiled imitation of Skyrim's shouts.

    2. The UI Dilemma: Navigating through the UI feels like a chore more than a streamlined experience. Imagine trying to read an alien language while being tickled – that’s how navigating the UI feels. Its clunky design, particularly evident on PC, and a puzzling decision to cap it at 30 fps mars the experience further.

    3. Combat Curveballs: The game can't seem to decide if it wants its enemies to be invincible titans or fragile glass cannons. On ground combat, switching to "very hard" mode becomes a necessity unless you want your foes to drop like flies with a mere pistol shot. However, space combat is the polar opposite – my ship faced annihilation within mere moments of fast-traveling to a new star system, forcing me to opt for "very easy" mode. The balance is, well, unbalanced.

    4. Ship-Building Woes: Designing my ship felt less like NASA and more like assembling IKEA furniture with missing instructions. Crafting the perfect ship turned out to be less of an exciting endeavor and more of a test of patience. With the erratic camera and inexplicable limitations on ship parts, it's an ordeal.

    5. Base-Building Bungles: If you thought ship-building was challenging, wait until you delve into base-building. Rotation issues, unintuitive snapping functions, and the overt emphasis on grind make it a tedious feature.

    6. Planetary Déjà Vu: The planets gave me serious No Man's Sky flashbacks, and not the good post-update kind. I’ve seen more variety in a box of crayons. The monotonous terrains and the occasional copy-paste aliens took away from the thrill of discovery.

    7. Lost Underwater Opportunities: There's no underwater exploration. Why not? They've done it in Skyrim and Fallout. Feels like a significant oversight.

    8. NPCs – Unsettlingly Hilarious: Kudos on the voice acting, but the NPC animations? Imagine chatting with someone who just chugged ten espressos. Bethesda's decision to bypass motion capture in favor of software was a bad choice when compared to the stellar motion capture in Baldur’s Gate 3.

    9. Map Mayhem: I've probably spent hours wandering around, trying to remember where everything is. There's no map for cities, and the galaxy map isn't intuitive as you'll need to memorize it all. Who needs a GPS in space, right?

    10. Fragmented Immersion: The game's dependence on loading screens and isolated zones breaks the immersion consistently, a letdown for players seeking a seamless space or open world experience.

    11. Interstellar Insects: While Starfield isn't the bug-infested apocalypse that Fallout 76 was, it's not bug-free either. NPCs launching skyward to merge with ceilings is oddly a regular phenomenon. And while many glitches are solvable with a game restart, some are not. An instance had me stumped when a quest wouldn't trigger its next stage. The fix? Console commands, which are PC exclusive and deactivate those sweet achievements. A tough choice for a gamer to make!

    12. Woke Overkill: The game's heavy-handed approach to pushing its political agenda is not just unwelcome but is also immersion-breaking. Starfield's narrative sometimes feels like being cornered at a space party by someone who REALLY wants to discuss their political views. Beam me out, Scotty!    … Expand

    Nice graphics, mediocre gameplay, but I ultimately refunded it due to the woke agenda in the game. Never buying a game that includes pronouns, alphabet stuff, modern feminism, or race-swapping.

    The devs were so afraid to upset any of the special audiences, they made the game which is extremely bland, boring and unrealistic, also suited for children despite the M rating.

    The woke dog whistles, the censorship, and the sheer brain-dead design choices around space flight really put a big negative spell over the couple of good, and sometimes great elements this game has.

But they instead choose to ruin immersion by having this incredibly obvious feminist agenda, resulting in NPCs on a literal mining outpost on Mars (Cydonia) be a 50/50 split male and female. As if that's anywhere logical or realistic. Being this uncomfortable with biological reality surely classifies as a mental illness, no?… Expand

    Majority of the time you are in menu clicking on "go there", "take off", "leave the ship", "inventory", "missions".. Talk about "immersive"....

    Starfield is basically a glorified mod of a Fallout 3 or a Skyrim.

    The game feels 10 years old with decent graphics. Most characters are ugly as ass though. The "Space" part is only superficial : you don't take off, you don't flight where you want. It's more like a mini-game next to the usual formula. The story is pretty underwhelming.

    The way it starts is basically : hey you, here is a ship, take the keys and go there. You have no choice in the matter. The writers have obviously never heard of the "Hero's Journey".

    Lame.

    There is a big "political" controversy with the game but it feels a bit exaggerated.
    I don't mind the pronoun choice and the body type 1 & 2 in the character creation as I've not been bothered with it after that point.

    That being said, an overwhelming amount of your interaction with though/team boss characters will be with women. Men are a rarity in space apparently and it feels very unnatural. I guess the game is pretty woke.    … Expand

    Bland, empty planets. Uninspiring cities. Brain dead AI. Feels like a last gen console game.

    Your companion will be firing at a level 1 scrub for one minute and not hit him once.

    So sad seeing the Bethesda fanboys, the same ones who just loved Fallout 76, saying how amazing this game is. Either way, Starfield is a shining setup for the giant letdown that will be Elder Scrolls 6.

There is some fun to be found in the game, however the formula hasn't really changed much since Fallout apart from the long cutscenes when travelling disrupting the flow of gameplay. The game feels pretty lifeless compared to Bethesda's other games. The characters don't feel like they could be real people and give off big ME Andromeda launch vibes. They have bizarre facial animations that I'm surprised haven't really been criticized at all as they are at least on par with Andromeda. Overall just very disappointed I love Sci-fi and Bethesda's previous games, but the lore and universe of Starfield just feel somewhat hollow combined with performance issues and numerous bugs, I just cannot recommend this game right now.… Expand

    Performance, such a riddle, CPU hot GPU cold,
    Graphics left me puzzled, not the story we were sold.
    Loading screens odd, with times way too grand,
    On my speedy SSD?? Only Todd may understand.

    In space, the icons jittered, like a dance out of time,
    Menus were a jigsaw, navigation almost a crime.
    Radiant conversations, companions wouldn’t stall,
    Speaking over quests, could barely comprehend it all.

    Hostile environments, vast and immense,
    Yet, we tread on foot, which makes no sense.
    A flashlight’s meek glimmer, in the cosmos so vast,
    Why land so far away? Oh boy! CO2 is such a blast!
    The dialogue, repetitive, persuasion quite absurd,
    When exiting conversations, just the same old words.

    Power allocations, mostly, seemed like a jest,
    And the combat AI? Really not the best.
    Unresponsive interface, it made quite the mess,
    Targeting wrong ships, causing players distress.

    Yet amidst these flaws, some grace there still stood,
    The item models, and the art, were genuinely good.
    But we'll keep on dreaming, of a space game that's tight,
    Where quests are accepted, not dumped on you outright.

    Oh, Todd, dear Todd, you promised us the moon,
    But what you've delivered, is just a little cartoon.
    For now, I will stick to the stars in the sky,
    And hope for better luck with your next try.    … Expand

    Este juego de Bethesda no cumplió con mis expectativas personales, yo esperaba el GOTY aquí, pero DIOS, jugar dos horas me cansa bastante y esto no ocurre con Skyrim o Fallout New Vegas.

    Me arrepiento de haberlo comprado hace una semana, ya pasé la campaña principal, lo cual no fue tan largo como esperé, me quedan decenas y decenas de misiones secundarias que serán un tremendo dolor de cabeza, ya que seguiré pasando pantallas de carga y atención, tengo un SSD nuevo, uno muy bueno, el Red Dead Redemption 2 me dura entre 09 y 16 segundos en pantallas de carga.

    Ya ni me hablen del factor exploración, creo que uno de los aspectos más desgastantes del juego, conocer recursos, tomar algunos, hacer escaneos, matar trogloditas que me quieren matar porque sí. Muchos de ellos están prácticamente vacíos, gran error de Bethesda, querer combinar una obra de ficción con apartados realistas.

    Algo positivo son algunos asentamientos porque tienen muchas personas que te dan nuevas misiones y algunas están bastante escondidas, tristemente el mapa de este juego está de la mierda y no puedo encontrar los lugares así, tengo que visitarlos, revisitarlos y volver a ellos más tardes para crear memoria.

    No hay personajes memorables, aquí, para dar un ejemplo, si dejara de jugar Skyrim por cinco o diez años, seguiría recordando al Nazeem o al Jarl Ulfric, ¿qué sé yo?

    Estoy seguro de que Bethesda arreglará este juego, porque parece ser que esta es la nueva tendencia de los juegos que no cumplen sus promesas, dígase Cyberpunk 2077, No Man's Sky, Fallout 76, etcétera. En fin, yo sé que puede ser mejor, pero simplemente, de momento, no cumple con los estándares mínimos que definen un buen juego para mí que me gustan los juegos de Bethesda y eso me pesa porque he sido un gran fan y estuve esperando un juego excelente, sin embargo, hoy me encuentro decepcionado, si tienes dinero, sugiero no lo malgastes, este juego solo será bueno si lo juegas en Gamepass, por lo económico.

    Es hora de clasificar objetivamente este juego.
    Gráficos: Regulares. Es Bethesda, sus juegos no se definen por esto, pero diablos es 2023, esto ya no es excusa = 6/10
    Música: Muy buenos. Pesó quitar al señor Soule, pero Azur hizo buen trabajo = 9/10
    Presentación: Olvidable, simplista, igual que todos los juegos de Bethesda, que parece les gusta mucho el minimalismo corporativo = 2/10
    Jugabilidad: No se cambia el motor del juego, solo se adapta, Bethesda tardó más de 30 años en poder saltar muros, eso sí, los enemigos son esponjas de balas = 6/10
    Historia = Soy el nacido de las estrellas... Que innovador... 1/10
    Bugs y glitches: Esto es normal en los nuevos juegos de Bethesda, miente el que dice cosas como "en más de diez horas del juego no me he encontrado ningún bug o glitch", DIOS, he encontrado la clásica IA de Bethesda que rompe mi inmersión más de 10 veces en una hora = 5/10
    Durabilidad: Bethesda hace sus juegos para que duren mucho, si es verdad lo que dijo TODD HOWARD de que Elder Scrolls VI durará todo una década que así sea, este hace lo suyo. 7/10.
    Precio: No me lo compensa, para ser un juego AAA, se queda corto 3/10.

    Everything feels like Fallout 4, reskinned. The only thing that would have made this game really innovative was the spaceship journeys and they weren't able to provide it, instead everything is a "fast travel, click to go there" experience.

    Lore is non existent in the outer worlds, when you clean an enemy outpost in other games there's always the story of how they ended up there, here it's just clean->loot and that's it. Creatures are not interesting at all. All the super complex mechanisms to research, craft, mod etc it's an overkill and useless at the end.

    But the truth is, the only way I could sum up my experience with Starfield is: BORING. Playing it feels like a chore for me, I can't wait to stop. I found myself creating the most creative excuses to avoid playing this game.
    If I could, I would return this game 10/10.

    P.S. FORGOT TO SAY: It's unplayable without NVIDIA Filters tool. Everything looks so green and gamma is so offset that it makes you wonder what's wrong with their developers monitors. You have to tweak your own filters in order to make this game look normal. Is this normal for a 2023 AAA game?    … Expand

    Starfield is an overrated pile of crap. Todd Howard is ridiculous by asking gamers to upgrade our systems. If my 2080 can run Cyberpunk 2077 with 100+ fps on High, why should Starfield tank so hard at 55fps at the lowest graphics? Todd Howard says we need new tech BUT it is his dumb choice of using HIS OUTDATED Creative engine to create games...I hope starfield sales tank. Have a 0/10

    Do lies or truth help people? It is my belief that pronouns are severely damaging mental health. Why? I believe pronouns are being pushed to help further a personal belief that biological men can be women and vice versa. And who cares? Well, in all respect, you're asking the wrong question. We should be asking "Do lies or truth help people?" Clearly the truth is best for us. And the truth is, it is biology, NOT us, or our feelings, that assigns chromosomes before we are born that determine male or female. (Yes, I get that there are exceptions, like with intersex born people, but the exceptions are just that - exceptions. And they are exceedingly rare. And sure, leave the pronoun choice in for them, that's okay. But forcing everyone else to choose is the problem). There is no amount of technology or feelings that can change chromosomal makeup. So therefore, men can never become women and women can never become men.

    Using pronouns helps to perpetuate a lie, which in the long run hurts people significantly. Pronouns, for thousands and thousands of years, have correlated with biology. Males are 'he' and females are 'she', etc. If I create a male character, the pronouns are understood to be used throughout the game accordingly as 'he'. There is zero reason to require that I pick pronouns because it's unnecessary. Now, as previously explained, go ahead and leave the option to choose pronouns in the game. BUT there should be a choice for those of us who do not want to help validate lies to everyone else, who is not legitimately intersexed.

    What should that choice be? There should be an option to simply leave that pronoun field blank and populate the game with the appropriate pronouns correlated to the character created as male or female.

    It's my opinion, that if you do not agree that biology and chromosomes determine male/female, please understand that it is you, not me, who believes lies and is denying truth - which is a very uncaring, unloving, hurtful, and a confusing act, that will complicate other's mental health.

    I believe history will one day look back and condemn the millions of people who would rather be part of a movement and feel a sense of social belonging, more than protecting biologically provable truth and the mental health of others. Two thumbs down Bethesda. For what it's worth, I will never be purchasing another game from you until I've ensured you are protecting the mental health of all of us.    … Expand

    Midfield it is. Bethesda has been on slow decline after Morrowind, simplifying their games and systems to appease larger crowds, but Oblivion and Skyrim still had souls, exploration was a blast and every dungeon or shrine had some history or lore behind it. Story was worth following as well.
    In the same vein, Fallout went from having robust rpg systems and learning curve, through F3 which    Midfield it is.

    In the same vein, Fallout went from having robust rpg systems and learning curve, through F3 which changed the formula to fallout 4 which was stripped of most of its rpg elements and turned into a shooter with vats, still it was worth exploring cause the world was hand crafted and there was **** to discover.
    That leads us to Midfield, with which Bethesda completely abandoned any pretense of trying. Either they dont care anymore or they simply dont have the people who brought quality to their games. Nothing that made Bethesda games good or enjoyable is here. Exploration is a waste of time, most planets are straight up empty and added only to increase size of the shallow puddle. There is no world/universe building or history to speak of. No deep systems to engage with, other than building your own ship if you are into that, but why would you if the space battles are mostly skippable and the space combat is attrocious and ship travel between and within planets is just a cutscene. Skill tree would be good enough if the skills worked as they are supposed to. Combat itself is horrid, melee isnt viable at all and gunplay has no weight behind it, plus the variety of gun types is pathetic. Even more pathetic is the variety of enemy types, its pretty much nonexistent, there is no intelligent non human life btw, few useless monster types, but 90% of the time you are fighting humans, in case of bosses, they are half humans, half sponges, some teleport. Writing is dog****, the dialogues are waste of time, following the "story" is a waste of time, trying to get to know your companions is a waste of time and the twist at the end is the most cliche scifi trope anyone could imagine. And its full of ugly npcs and ESG slop bethesda gladly servers you in excess of whats mandated to meet the quota.
    In other words, there is no way to play starfield and make it enjoyable, if you have any standards for quality of anything. Be it the story, worldbuilding, exploration or combat. Unless you are proffesional ship designer, starfield has nothing to offer you.
    Oh and everything I said concerns only the vision and idea of the game itself, even if the game was polished and technically sound, it would still be mediocre in every way, but ofc its not technically sound, its plagued with bugs and disgusting optimazation.    … Expand

With nothing in them. Yes there are technical hurdles in building a truly open world experience, but as a game developer it's your job to create that illusion.

    But it's not just the exploration that's a complete failure. it's actually every facet of the game. The writing, the combat encounters, the environments, the NPCs. Nothing shows deeper commitment or passion. It's cliched, bland and sterile. And just not fun.

    But the worst part is how Bethesda chose to market this. Clearly there is some PR bot farm shenanigans going on. This explains the strong counter reactions and all the ugliness surrounding this release. It's a disgusting practice and Bethesda still hasn't learnt yet that it hurts them more than helps. Maybe they've learned their lesson this time.

    Bottom line is. this game is at its core a first person shooter with a lot of loading screens, a few rpg elements and some side minigames. With bad enemy ai. Avoid if you like previous Bethesda rpgs or Space exploration games. Actually just avoid.    … Expand

    The game is a load screen simulator
    enter your ship - > loading screen -> sit at console and "take off" -> loading screen -> choose new planet -> loading screen -> select landing site on planet -> loading screen -> exit ship -> loading screen -> "explore" most planets i've encountered where empty rocky snowy templates with 1 structure every 1k km and the story was mid

    This is a game about space without space. Lazy loadings everywhere, this game belongs to 2013, not 2023. Outrageous how can a big company do such dumb moves. Moreover - poor optimization and recommendations? Upgrade your PC! Cmon Todd, Red Dead Redemption 2 graphically much more better and works much more smooth even on low end systems, this is lazy talk about "upgrade your system".

This made the game unplayable for some people, and it also diminished the overall experience for those who were able to get it working, Starfield still feels unfinished and unpolished. The facial animations are stiff and unnatural, the AI of the non-player characters is rudimentary, and the game world is often empty and lifeless.
    Repetitive quests: The quests in Starfield are mostly repetitive and uninspired. They often boil down to fetching items, killing enemies, or exploring the same few locations over and over again. This makes the game feel tedious and boring after a while.
    Lack of innovation: Starfield is a derivative game that doesn't do anything new or groundbreaking. It feels like a rehash of other Bethesda games, such as Skyrim and Fallout 4. This lack of innovation makes Starfield feel stale and outdated.
    Overall, Starfield is a disappointing game that falls short of its potential. It is buggy, unpolished, repetitive, and unoriginal. If you are looking for a good space RPG, then there are better options available.    … Expand

    Como fan de los juegos de Bethesda me siento engañado. Starfield es sin duda el menos mundo abierto creado por Bethesda. La inteligencia artificial brilla por su ausencia, de las peores que he visto jamás. Por no hablar de las mecánicas ancladas en los años 2000-2007, ya es hora de que cambien de motor gráfico. Muy decepcionado.

    l'espace, est un désastre intergalactique à bien des égards. Depuis des années, les fans de jeux de science-fiction attendaient avec impatience le prochain grand titre de Bethesda, mais ce qu'ils ont obtenu est une déception monumentale.

Depuis des années, les fans de jeux de science-fiction attendaient avec impatience le prochain grand titre de Bethesda, mais ce qu'ils ont obtenu est une déception monumentale.

    Tout d'abord, les graphismes de Starfield sont à des années-lumière derrière les normes actuelles. Les environnements manquent cruellement de détails, les textures sont floues et la modélisation des personnages est tout simplement dépassée. On dirait que le jeu aurait pu sortir il y a une décennie, ce qui est inexcusable dans un marché du jeu vidéo aussi compétitif.

    En ce qui concerne l'histoire, Starfield offre une trame narrative insipide et clichée. Vous incarnez un explorateur de l'espace sans personnalité, lancé dans un voyage sans but apparent. Les quêtes se résument généralement à "aller là-bas, tuer ça" ou "ramener ça". Aucune profondeur, aucun enjeu émotionnel, rien pour vous attacher à ce monde insignifiant.

    Le gameplay est une autre déception majeure. Les combats sont lourds, mal équilibrés et manquent de dynamisme. Les mécanismes de tir sont archaïques, donnant l'impression de jouer à un jeu des années 90 plutôt qu'à un titre de nouvelle génération. Les bugs et les problèmes de performance sont également fréquents, ce qui nuit encore plus à l'expérience.

    Enfin, parlons de l'exploration spatiale, qui devrait être le point fort du jeu. Malheureusement, elle est gâchée par une galaxie vide et sans âme. Les planètes se ressemblent toutes, et il n'y a pratiquement aucune activité intéressante à découvrir. L'univers de Starfield est d'une banalité consternante.    … Expand

The dialogue is really really weak and cringe most of the time. The water is the worst in the most recent games, there is almost no ripple when you swim or shoot, cyberpunk blows this game out of the water :^).
    Ohh and the bugs, hooooly you can get stuck on starting planet, enemies don't spawn, you can fall out the map when you pick up new weapons, enemies teleport around you when they spawn like police in Cyberpunk. Maybe the modders will be making the game decent over the years...    … Expand

    Next gen loads on every action and 30 fps on low settings at 50% render scale because you have a potato pc and the optimization is good, just buy a rtx4090 and i9 13900k. What's the problem? Yes, Todd Howard?

Just because this game literally have zero optimization and also because they make explanations like “buy a better pc our game is ok” Make your game console exc next time and don’t let us deal with your bs.

    The problem with Starfield is that it combines several game concepts that makes it feel like a shallow game as every concept is on a surface level.

    'Starfield' is an unfinished game that should not be released. Repeated loading is severe. Moreover, optimization is very bad.

    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.
