    10 hours in the game and so far I experienced only 1 bug, restarted the game and the bugs goes away. Only problem is there is no local map it is so hard to navigate through large cities especially New Atlantis.

    Epic, Bethesda game in space. More story driven than NMS, WIDER than BG3! Expansive open world to get lost in. The best RPG in space ever written so far

    Masive game, with so much to do on it, 100% recommended for everyone. It may start a little slow, but after a few hours its a non stop playing game.

    A circa 45 ore di gioco posso dire che Starfield mi ha dato un feeling di immersione che mi mancava dai tempi di Skyrim. I dialoghi spesso sono deboli e gli NPC sono estremamente legnosi in puro stile Bethesda.

Assurdo che nel 2023 debba aspettare 7 secondi che l'NPC si metta in tasca il taccuino/palmare prima di cominciare la conversazione o dover camminare per 3 minuti a velocità lumaca seguendo il solito NPC troppo veloce per la mia camminata ma troppo lento per la mia corsa. Santo cielo.

    Tuttavia, queste non piccole problematiche sono state completamente spazzate via dall'immensità del titolo, la mole quasi asfissiante di quest che compaiono nel tuo menù e la libertà creativa che ti danno sia nella personalizzazione della navicella che nella creazione degli avamposti. Ogni volta che avvio Starfield al rientro da lavoro provo un senso di relax che difficilmente provo con altri titoli, è come essere due volte a casa.    … Expand

    Despite issues with optimization, a few nagging bugs and a having to navigate a rather underwhelming interface; Bethesda’s personality is on full display in yet another massive installment for one of the industry’s most decorated studios.

    Unconventional to the likes of previous titles like Skyrim and Fallout 3, there isn’t a famous “step out moment” but rather a slow crescendo into what ends up being one of the deepest narrative driven experiences I’ve had in years. There are so many moments that have you feeling like you are playing four or five games in one.

    Starfield is an epic adventure that is worth savoring and is best described as a slow cooked meal- it is the slow cooked meals that are most satisfying.

    This game has everything to keep you entertained for hours. Here you can spend hours building your ship, hours crafting and arranging furniture in your home, hours mining resources and exploring planets, trading, transporting contraband, fighting on ships, stealing things, hiring companions, improving guns and spacesuits, cooking, helping random passersby, play your role and receive dissatisfaction or approval from others, complete quests in different ways. You can do literally anything!
    I started the game late in the evening and it didn’t let me go until the morning, you really feel the atmosphere of space here, and the side quests are like small stories inside this world. After the first story quest, I came across some completely random additional quest and this line of quests told me the whole story of the conspiracy and took me 6-8 hours to complete it, and then it became more and more interesting to play. It was really fun, I don't understand why some people think the game is boring. It's definitely not a game for everyone, but it's a good, worthwhile game in the classic Bethesda style.
    The game had every chance to become a hit and personally my favorite for many years, if not for one thing, the optimization here is truly terrible. The picture is nice and beautiful, but I would like to have 1080p 60 fps on my RTX 4060, and not ~30-45 :D I could only start playing comfortably at 60-80 frames with a DLSS mod. It’s very sad that the optimization was taken care of by enthusiasts and not by Bethesda.    … Expand

    The most important thing is to start - this is a great game, one of a kind. I've seen a lot of hate towards this game with complaints like "flying in this game is not like in space simulators", "In this game you can't manually land like in "No man's sky", "In this game shooting is not like in doom" etc. that is, claims that in a huge RPG game its individual elements are not at the sameThe most important thing is to start - this is a great game, one of a kind. I've seen a lot of hate towards this game with complaints like "flying in this game is not like in space simulators", "In this game you can't manually land like in "No man's sky", "In this game shooting is not like in doom" etc. that is, claims that in a huge RPG game its individual elements are not at the same level as in the best highly specialized games, where in fact there is practically nothing else besides these mechanics.
    Another common complaint I heard was "The game world is empty procedurally generated garbage". Seriously? Does this really need to be explained? For 5-6 years, any development team can physically work out a map (so that it is filled with interesting activities per square meter) approximately the size of Skyrim or Fallout 4 - this is 9-15 square kilometers, since people's time and forces are not unlimited. In Starfield, we don’t have a single map like in Skyrim or F4, but there are planets, it turns out that a conditional map of 15 square kilometers is divided into zones, these zones are separate well-designed planets, it’s easy to count them in the game, it won’t be so a lot of.
    Everything else (1000 planets) is just an entourage with procedural generation and the illusion of an infinite space, so that there is no dissonance like in the same Mass Effects, where there were conditional 4-5 planets (just the same ordinary limited locations) and that's it, nowhere else even theoretically you can't fly.
    So did anyone seriously expect the game will have 1,000 hand-crafted planets?
    Do I need to say that all these claims look absolutely stupid and childish? People came up with a dream game that no one promised them - A huge RPG with 1000 hand-crafted planets, Star Citizen, No Man's Sky and DOOM in one bottle, and when they didn't get it, they accused the developers of lying and labeled the game as a failure ... probably forgetting that only Star Citizen (in which, by the way, there is practically nothing else besides good space flights and resource collection) has been developed for 13 years and has not yet been released ... That's the essence of the absurdity - people demanded that Bethesda make a dream game in 6 years, which actually takes 5000 years to develop...
    Returning to the game itself, I can safely say that this is the most ambitious and incredible project from Bethesda, in which almost all aspects and mechanics have been improved compared to their previous games, which in turn were masterpieces and improved radically - graphics, lighting, animations, physics and facial animations - all of this has been taken to a whole new level. The style of the game, all those dashboards, computers, buttons and switches, is pure ecstasy for fans of science fiction. And this is only talking about the visual part, and in addition to this, you will also find a huge RPG game with exciting quests and many additional mechanics, such as building your own ships and outposts. This game is very meditative, unhurried, in which a huge emphasis is placed on immersion and getting aesthetic pleasure from the very stay in this world, and if you like games like RDR 2 or Death Stranding, you will definitely like Starfield, although they are different in genre games, but in spirit they are very close.
    Starfield is an amazing game, the best Bethesda game so far and yes it's not perfect, but show me the perfect game without flaws, the answer is simple, games like this just don't exist in our world.    … Expand

    Personally, I don't understand why many are crying about optimization, because this is a massive game and its requirements was already visible on steam . Also on my setup Starfield runs better than Fallout76. But sometimes I feel like I'm playing some old game because of the npc dialogues which I feel haven't changed since the days of skyrim...

Bethesda talked about new features and the new style just for their own player, for the player of Skyrim and Fallout. Not surprising the common player was confused! If you played Bethesda games for a bit, you'd know for sure what to expect from Starfield. Even if there is word "space" in advertisement, you would never draw a parallel with any space simulation game. It's not a space simulation game. And it was never called so. It barely even looked like it in visual trailers.

    But on the other hand, what they should've said? "We have some space, but what most important is the amount of good quests and dialogues, awesome narrative, great open world and thousands possibilities!" Everyone already heard that. And everyone already played it. Played it in all the Fallout and all the Elder Scrolls games.

    Yeah, probably they should've said that narrative in this game is better than it ever was. Yeah, probably they should've said that side quests are just as great as always and the giant world is unchained as it never was. NPCs in the cities talk about real things, when they say something it means something.

    The only bug I saw during playthrough is a cabinet drawer physically stuck in itself. Did you see amount of items their physical engine is capable of handling without any stutter? That's insane progress on the engine. Also I think they should've introduced the complete modding capabilities right at the launch and even advertise them, show something. Everyone know it's a strongest part of Bethesda game. That's a great miss.

    In conclusion, the game will be played a lot and widely. Modding will be insane, every now and then I see potential to mod something. I do not see continuation of this franchise though and that's a bit concerning.    … Expand

The inventory and skills menu is very easy and simple to use. The map is complex and takes time to get used to. Optimization isn't good, the engine doesn't make things fluid as it should. The indoors and landscapes of the planets are beautiful, but the NPCs are ugly (except named characters). The game deserves 9 because it is not easy to create such a vast and rich universe. In my opinion, it delivers what it promises.… Expand

    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.
