    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OMG, this game is bad! Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. The graphics are outdated, the gunfight gameplay is awful, the performance is terrible, the physics is bad, the world is ridiculously FAKE huge, and everything involves fast traveling.

    You want to go from New Atlantis to Mars, right? The Atlantis town and its area are one level, outside the planet is another level, the space between the two planets is one level, close to Mars is another level, and inside Mars is again, another level. So, going from one planet to another requires at least four or five levels to render! Sure, you can fast-travel to Mars from the map, but I'm just saying, why would they create so many levels when your game engine is outdated and not optimized for this?

    I wanted to simultaneously go from one planet to another at a very fast speed, and I didn't care if it took one hour and like fighting with other ships in the middle of the way! I wanted to simultaneously enter a planet from its atmosphere and then land on it. By the way, where's the town's map? Who at Bethesda came up with this revolutionary idea of NOT designing maps for towns? It's **** stupid!

    What about the bugs? The game completely shut down my computer three times just because I forgot to scan the planet for materials and resources at the first mission of the game. It was frustrating! I paid 100 bucks for this game, and someone told me the game is already cracked! Wow, seriously? Are you telling me that Bethesda didn't even bother to work with Denuvo to protect their game from piracy? I really want to talk about those promises Bethesda told us to deliver and many other things, but I want to keep this review short, so 1/10!!!    … Expand

    Low effort procedurally generated fish bowls with nothing but rocks and AI from the early 2010’s.

    I wanted to like this game, but after 20 hours, I'm just bored. It's not "bad", it's dull. As cold and lifeless as space itself.
    A lot of people say "it gets better 12 hours in", and not only should that justify suffering through 12 hours of slow-paced, repetitive gameplay, it's also not true.
    Starfield sorely lacks that "oh **** moment, like fighting dragons in Skyrim, or Fallout 4's    I wanted to like this game, but after 20 hours, I'm just bored. It's not "bad", it's dull. As cold and lifeless as space itself.
    A lot of people say "it gets better 12 hours in", and not only should that justify suffering through 12 hours of slow-paced, repetitive gameplay, it's also not true.

    Starfield sorely lacks that "oh **** moment, like fighting dragons in Skyrim, or Fallout 4's opening mission where you jump off a building in power armour and fight a Deathclaw. All there is so far is repetitive fetch quests, exploring the same handful of locations, and dull NPCs that drone on for far too long.

    It starts really slow. 10 minutes of walking through a mine, touching an "Artifact" (yes, that's all they're called, no originality here) to get a 2001: A Space Odyssey-style vision, then you make your character. After that, you fight some pirates, get given a ship, go through a decent ship tutorial, then you're introduced to the core gameplay loop - land on a planet, scan some rocks, plants, and wildlife, find a crater, abandoned mine, or outpost, kill some human enemies (it is ALWAYS the same human enemies btw), loot what you can with your paltry carry weight limit, and repeat.

    The gunplay hasn't changed since Fallout 4, and it doesn't have something like VATS to mitigate the clunkiness. Space flight is underwhelming - it's a glorified combat arena, if that. Fast travel is mandatory. Exploration is incredibly dull - once you've seen one abandoned mine, you've quite literally seen them all, both inside and out. Remember those random planets in the first Mass Effect that were squares of terrain with a handful of points of interest dotted about? That's planets in Starfield, only you have to walk for several minutes to get anywhere. I'd kill for a vehicle to cut out the monotony.

    I've done a fair amount of the main quest, got my hands on some of the powers, which are similar to Skyrim's shouts, only you can't organically find them out in the world like you could in Skyrim - you have to find an artifact, talk to someone, get sent off to a random planet, THEN you can find the power. That whole process is just walking from one place to another, by the way. No epic boss fights or anything like that.

    Enemy variety is laughable. In 20+ hours I've fought precisely 3 enemy types on the ground - humans (the most common), and 2 types of robot. Enemy AI is a joke - they'll stand there and let you empty your clip into them before reacting, or better yet, they'll run away. They love running away. There is alien wildlife, but you have to instigate the fight, and they're basically the equivalent of mole rats or brahmin from Fallout in terms of actually fighting them. Pretty bland, and space combat's not much better - once you've done the tutorial fight, you've seen everything space combat has to offer.

    The UI is atrocious. Navigating menus shouldn't be this slow and clunky. I shouldn't have to cycle between three inventories (trader's, mine, and my ship's) to buy and sell - especially when it was all on one screen in Bethesda's previous games. There are no actual maps, making navigation frustrating. Why can't I eat a food item instead of picking it up first when Fallout 76 let you do it? You know something's wrong when Fallout 76 has better quality of life features...

    But the questing's good, right? Wrong. I'm currently on the 7th quest for a faction. They have all been fetch quests where I've had to go to another building or planet, walk up to a crate or desk or computer, press a button, and that's it. This faction is supposed to be all about corporate espionage, and Bethesda managed to make even that boring as hell. The most interesting quest for this faction was the first one where I had to ORDER COFFEE. Why was it interesting? Because someone tried to kill me. I shot him once and that was it. The rest have involved no interaction with other NPCs at all. This is in Neon, by the way - the cyberpunk-looking city - and it genuinely feels like I'm playing a really ****ty version of Cyberpunk 2077. That would make Akila a ****ty Fallout, I guess...

    I can't help but feel like I'm playing a different game to everyone else, because so many people claim to be having a blast with this game. I don't understand what they're finding so fun about it. I'm just bored. I'd rather go back to Skyrim or Fallout 4.

    Oh, and it's crashed 11 times for me, so far. And don't believe the lie that is "it's Bethesda's least-buggy game". It's second only to Fallout 76 in how buggy it is. There's a bug that stops the main quest progressing, for crying out loud!

    The only positive is that the ship builder, despite being clunky, is really good. Shame you can't do much with the ships.

    Like I said, I wanted to enjoy Starfield. It just doesn't want me to enjoy it. I genuinely wonder if I'm playing a different game to everyone else who claims to be loving it. I want to play whatever version of Starfield they're playing.    … Expand

    There's no hiding from it, it's a creation engine game through and through. And with that comes all it's drawbacks that just scream Bethesda. I can't do it anymore, I can't play games made with this ancient engine. They need to start from scratch with an established modern engine or I'm gone forever, refunded.

    Not sure how the ball was dropped so thoroughly here in terms of innovation.

    Just like the procedural generation used to spawn procedural dull planets this game appears to be a procedural iteration of skyrim and fallout just like the dated creation engine it is based on.

    The developers seem to be mired in the past and have created a boring walking simulator full of fetch quests which have one way of solving them.

    I am trying to play and like it, however get bored out of my brain within an hour generally.

    I expected a lot better and unfortunately these expectations were not met, particularly in the context of better games being released recently which do move gaming forwards.

    Pick it up on a sale and hope that the modding community also picks it up, as it this point that is the only way this vacuous, dated edifice has any hope of looking or playing out with any sort of depth and content.

    10 years in the making and 10 minutes of interest,

    - Lack of immersion - there is nothing fun about spending 3 clips on one soldier, while seeing the effects of blood flying out when hit. The developers just don't care. Police completely ignore shootings in the city

You stand in a point and rotate 360, it's point click fast travel with loading screen and animation. even indie space games on the market have seemless spaceship    Consideration: big AAA*, open world, fps rpg, space explore, 7 years of dev

    Promises and Expectation:
    Trailers revealed "ride" and "go" anywhere on the planet which is not ride, you cant land and fly the spaceship to a planet. You stand in a point and rotate 360, it's point click fast travel with loading screen and animation. even indie space games on the market have seemless spaceship control and you can fly even on the planet atmosphere.
    You have spaceship which is basically loading screen animation, but no land vehicles (No you cant craft vehicle) so you have to walk 1000m of empty planet.

    Story:
    Bland and uninteresting, comparing to their old title. In skyrim your head was about to be chopped of and in Fallout 4 your love got killed and child taken out, comparing to those this story is pretty lame.

    Gameplay:
    Gunplay is same janky old creation engine gunplay with bullet sponge AI. Most of the AAA even AA and indies games has better gun play in their years old games. Seems like no AI or gunplay improvement even after 7 years of developement. they just add 4k space texture. No mechanics improvement. Some of the weapon customization is worse than fallout 4.

    Graphics and World Design:
    Texture improved but light doesn't. so graphics feels dated. Same layout and monochromic color of caves and rooms feels boring after a while.
    Planets are empty which devs say is realistive, but its empty in a repetitive way and planets got invisible wall so no you can't walk (which is already tiresome because of no vehicle and empty) through the entire planet.
    Enemy variety non existent, level 10 enemy means it is a bullet sponge, bullet sponge enemy difficulty, sometimes entire mag of your weapon doesn't do any significant damage to human enemy. And yes no locational damage so headshot means same as body shot.
    NPC and Character animations are so lifeless compared to other AAA, AA titles, facial expression non existent, its same old skyrim oblivion talking animation. No improvement.

    Bugs and Problems:
    NPC dont react to gun, even in skyrim NPC reacted to weapon but here, NO.
    Bugs are less than Fallout 76 which is horrible becuase common bugs of bethesda still exist, like NPC stuck or flying out through the texture
    Too many loading screen, Its 2023 and even some doors have loading screen. Fast travel puts you outside of the door so that you can go through a door which is another loading screen.
    Your character get easily encumbered

    ***Pros:
    Too ambious, sky, planets and moon looks amazing to gaze. spaceship and base customization seems ok. * you cant put one engine of spaceship to other tho. *you can create base on empty planets and bring your companion,
    Game plays like a fallout 4 mod, so if you are a bethesda fan and fallout 4 fan you will get enjoyment.

    There are other issuses too. like game is extremely slow place, your need 15-20hrs to get into, UI feels worse than fallout to me, just look at the title screen menu... I dont want to mention anymore.    … Expand

The planets that you do “land” on are barely even explorable. There’s constant invisible walls and it seems the only way to travel is to walk on foot. Even landing on a planet is a cut-scene. You can’t even do that in your spaceship. The gunplay is mediocre as well and doesn’t feel rewarding at all. Nothing feels rewarding in this game. It’s very boring. It’s seems to be a great idea but only on paper, considering the end product doesn’t even closely live up to the hype.… Expand

Bethesda shows us again that marketing means more than development. Sweat off the hype surrounding space exploration, take a giant leap back, and observe what has really been provided to us here. Starfield is about exploring space, or at least that was what it was supposed to be about. You will often find yourself repeating the same fetch quests over and over once you complete the mind numbing overly long tutorial. Once you get in to the groove though, you quickly find out that the game contains much repetition broken up by the same loading screens, and that you are not as free as you thought you would be. Quests will be to teleport (quick travel) to a location that resembles the same as before it, walk a short distance, shoot the bodies in front of you, loot and return. You are unable to freely fly your ship anywhere you want, nor can you land anywhere on a planet that you want. In fact, if you land the same place twice, the planet will look different. The game procedurally generates a "random" tile to which you can walk, just don't walk to far because there are invisible walls. You can not even see the towns in the background. Gunplay is nice and tight, however quickly becomes underwhelming when you realize most weapons feel the same, but some with a zoom option. The enemies will not run for cover or show any signs of intelligence as you blast their faces off. Jumping and moving super slow .. because you know, gravity? .. This only adds to the frustratingly boring slow paced gameplay and story. Designing your own base or ship you would think would be fun, but it is not. The clunky system and process is tedious and is not rewarding. The level-up / reward / skill system seems interesting, but plagued by bugs and glitches as is the entire game quickly becomes the same... more annoying than rewarding. Overall, this half baked experience seems like it was pulled out of the oven way too soon. Gamers alike want to love it, as it is a popular release and set in space, what is there not to love? Unfortunately, this game falls flat on its face and feels more like multiple mini games stuck together with extremely long loading screens. Each as equally bad as the other. Don't even get me started on the graphics or inventory system, yikes!… Expand

There are no markers to help you remember where things are very few fast travel points within cities. Even those aren't useful because it's not really clear where they are in the context of the map unless you memorize it. So basically if you don't have a mission marker, it's almost not worth the trouble. For me, I was willing to deal with the loading screens but this made it just not fun. In a game like Skyrim, you never had to fast travel anywhere and you would encounter plenty of enemies and discover lots of and side quest along the way. Often, I didn't mind this as you were leveling up and gathering a lot of loot. The gameplay loop was quite fun.

    However, in Starfield you are always going directly from point A to point B so there isn't really much time to stumble into discoveries accidentally. Quest often will take you to 2 to 3 different planets which means 15 to 20 different menu screens to fast travel. You will also have to sometimes make multiple jumps to get to your location and then get stuck in some boring space battle.

    I often found myself spending more time in transit, inventory management, and not being sure where to go then I did actually playing in the game. I suggest waiting another year or two until they fix it.    … Expand

The game, unfortunately, falls victim to various major issues that could have been mitigated had proper time been devoted to development and testing.

    Firstly, the game is riddled with bugs and glitches that seriously affect the gameplay experience. While it's common for new large-scale games to have some minor issues, the sheer number present is staggering. Not only do characters and objects sporadically clip, but weapons and tools occasionally fail to work, leading to frustrating experiences.

    The vast, open-world design of Starfield seemed promising, but now it feels empty and lifeless. The explorative nature of the game is hampered by repetitive content and a limited number of meaningful interactions. Many planets appear to be mere copy-pastes of each other, with similar textures and layouts creating a monotonous experience.

    Moreover, the storyline is convoluted and underwhelming, leaving players frustrated as they struggle to follow the plot. The narrative is poorly paced and filled with underdeveloped characters that make it hard to feel invested in the story. The dialogues, a key part of any RPG, seem lacking and generic compared to previous Bethesda titles.    … Expand

Outerworlds at least doesn't feel this silly you can talk to people through your comms all the time. There's no ambience or mystery like FO or Skyrim. It just takes itself really seriously. Then it becomes a joke with game elements that aren't realistic. You can build your ship, but you can start attaching things just for the system to tell you you need an engine out of you flying rank. Does that make sense? I'm not allowed to go buy a V8 Truck in the real world? I don't feel like talking to anyone, no one has anything interesting to say. The factions seem too similar and are all basically just the same thing. Most enemies will be mercs. Remember ME2's only bad guy. It's basically that. You are not voiced, and that can be a very good thing in a game like this, but in this case it's not. You don't get any extra talking points, you barely get the basics like lying and persuade. The days of making you character super intelligent and having extra dialogue or super dumb and extra dialogue is over at bethesda. I can't believe a small dev like obsidian beat you at your own game.

    Bethesda choose space and the future for this project, but we are still forced to travel and communicate like were in a wasteland. Shows you how shallow their games are without all the in-between.

    TLDR; Just go play outerworlds for a space RPG, or look for a space sim, because this is trying to be both and it exceeds at neither.    … Expand

    Worst BGS game, even worse than Fallout 76. Is like No mans sky but with Bethesda´s common bugs and design. Campaign is meh but space exporation is a joke.

    uninspired, same ol recipe but cooked on a better pot.
    took me 14 hours for the game to actually get slightly better only to repeat same bs all over the world again.

    I'd say this is a typical Bethesda game but at this point AAA games are usually just some soulless hot garbage only made to make as much money as possible, they even outsourced the game to some no name studios to cut the budget. Peak capitalism i guess.

    Why would you make the same game without adding ANY new additions? I mean this is the same game with skyrim, fallout. They didnt even add 1 new thing into this. NOT even 1 thing. Old engine, old graphics, old animations, look at the baldur's gate 3, they didnt even had the proper budget but look at what they done and look at starfield. With all that money, they made this.

    Empty game. Face animations and combat is from 2010. Worst face animations in a modern game, seems like Bethesda can't be bothered to update their ancient game engine for a new one.

    Constant crashes started in New Atlantis and prevented any progress and force me to refund. The game also seemed poorly optimized as I had to put graphical settings on low to achieve decent fps, on a decent PC that runs most of the recent games on high setting.

    Graphics is decent but some are not policed, Story is generic, AI is bad it's from other game.
    you go. played 20 hours + and feels like a waste of time. you do the same thing over and over and it's not rewarding. This game was so overhyped Fallout 4 is way better than this game.

    Starfield should be called Starfilm, it's more of a movie than a game. The player just watches most of the time, this is because 90% of Starfield is cutscenes.
    I like games with combat and difficulty and Starfield doesn't deliver on that. The game can be easily finished with just two buttons.

    Perhaps Bethesda will manage to make the Starfield experience better in the future through various updates and expansions. But all in all, it seems like Starfield would have done much better as a universe with a sea of depth and seamlessness spread over 10 planets, rather than what we got spread over 1000." ...

    Really boring. I looked forward to it but it was so underwhelming. First of all, the game itself feel just outdated. The mechanics is obsolete. There is nothing to explore. You aren't on planets, you're on an area. You.cajt drive anywhere cause there aren't any vehicles cause devs want you to walk. Because then you must spend more time in the game. You can't therefor not fly either. OnlyReally boring. I looked forward to it but it was so underwhelming. First of all, the game itself feel just outdated. The mechanics is obsolete.

The npcs are bad, so bad and how they react to different actions like shooting next to them. The immersive feeling is just not there. Also the facial and body animations are from 2005. Don't forget the usual woke propaganda that must be forced on you. Yep, you won't get away from that either. I got a refund from this pile of **** Happy to have BG3 to go back to.… Expand

    Starfild carrega a essência dos jogos da bethesda como prometer mil coisas pro jogo e não entregar 1/3 do que prometeu.

    It’s sad to see how tv shows, games and movies are turning into. All politics and forcing their politics into games now. Very disappointing. Also Starfield you can’t drive into the planet like NMS. Also the 1000 planets are basically copy and pasted and boring and lifeless.

    Fallout 4 re-skin in the space, super buggy and zero in-depht lore. Bethesda is using the same engine/design since Skyrim without any major improvement. It is a 2015 game in 2023.

    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.
