    Um dos melhores games todos os tempos, só pelo choro dos sonystas já é possível perceber que a Microsoft fez um grande serviço.

    Explore o universo de Starfield e seja recompensado com uma grande aventura, que contém tudo o que a Bethesda costuma entregar em seus games.

    This game is incredible. A game has not grabbed me this thoroughly in many many years. I find it almost impossible to log off the game and when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about getting on and playing. The world and story and environmental graphics are amazing the combat is fun. This is a game that you can get lost in for 100 plus hours easily.

It does feel like this game was probably meant for 2019-2020 and the scale was just too difficult to deliver on, especially with the pandemic interrupting productivity. Regardless, I'm digging this game quite a bit. Hopefully I can one day experience it closer to a stable 60 FPS but I don't have the cash that I'm willing to blow just to sniff that kind out output on my rig.… Expand

Crafting has good depth but inventory system could use tweaking. right now its gather and manage then dump at your ship/ rinse and repeat. A higher carry capacity would help. like 250lb and a base storage in ship of 750 would be a good start.
    The game NEEDS proper DLSS 3.0 and FG to be implemented. I have a 5800x3d, 32 gigs ram and a 4070ti and on ultra game just chugs. More optimizations will be coming and will make improvements. Better driver optimizations are coming and will help. DLSS and FG are needed as well.

    Overall the game isn't a massive forward leap and many mechanics will feel very familiar to Fallout fans and it is really Fallout 5-ish in Space. For Fallout fans this is what many of us expected anyways.

    It's not perfect. There are some technical aspects that could have been avoided. The lack of DLSS, HDR not working as expected and it's a demanding game. But all these are minor issues. Baldur's Gate 3 suffers from more pronounced framerate issues specially on Act 3 and that hasn't resulted in many negative reviews. Starfield runs better on my PC than BG3. Baldur's Gate 3 also has loading between exteriors and interiors but for some reason, in that style of game it's not a problem. Why this double standard?
    There is a real issue with social media these days. Some people think it's cool to hate the big studio and its cool to support the rising star. So Larian Studios has been in the community good grace since the Divinity Original Sin days and now Bethesda is awful. People expected Starfield to be a game filled with bugs before it even came out. The reality is that it's one of the most if not the most stable release Bethesda ever made. CD Projekt Red faced the same ups and downs. Hero one day, villain the next. People seem to be losing objectivity and just following the herd.
    So, without getting into spoilers these are the type of things you can expect from Starfield:

    Starfield much like past Bethesda games, other MMOs and survival games, it starts slow. But as you explore the universe you start to find things that really show why Bethesda is so well known for creating open world RPGs. But you won’t realize it if you just play the game for a couple of hours. If you start from a skeptical position and are not open to immerse into the Starfield universe you will dismiss the game before the game can reward you with some of the best features, quests and other content.
    - Understand what you are getting into. This is a game where you can find quests everywhere.
    With several major quest lines that cover different sci-fi flavors. From Firefly, to Cyberpunk style places, to Interstellar. You can build your own spaceships. Fully mod your armor, weapons. Have multiple bases.
    You will find places in space where you will be exploring in Zero G. Despite not being a space sim focused game, you will be surprised by some of the events that will happen to you as you fly around. Space combat is indeed challenging and fun. It is not a full space sim but it is enough to give you that feeling.
    The “dungeons” vary from caves, industrial complexes, Doom style sci-fi bases as well as starbases of all kinds and other ”places” I will not disclose to avoid spoilers. They are diverse and fun to explore. FPS combat is challenging and fun and as you unlock more skills and get better weapons it becomes more and more addicting.
    Not everything is perfect but the game is stable, mostly bug free.
    Is it a perfect game? No. But it does give you the feeling that you are exploring different worlds. Finding interesting things. The huge number of quests and interesting places to visit really immerse you as you progress.
    Personally, what I love the most is that the universe feels alive with a lot of fun activities combining elements from other games. I can explore a planet and get some of the aspects of No Man's Sky, but then I find a pirate base and have truly fun combat experience. Afterwards I go to a major city and interact with dozens of interesting characters that give me missions and goals. Other scifi games have their advantages but none combine so many elements into one package with a AAA feel.
    So this is Starfield. Skyrim in Space.
    This is the best open world space themed scifi RPG right now. If you think there is a better alternative please, share. Outer Worlds? No this one is better, bigger in every way. Star Citizen? Unfinished. No Man's Sky? It's a pure survival/exploration game. Not a AAA style RPG. Cyberpunk? Not set in space. No ships, bases and other exploration related content. Everspace 2? Space focused. No ground exploration.
    Starfield is the only AAA game that combines elements made popular in several space theme scifi games into a package. It's not perfect but it's the best right now.
    And with modding support, space has no limits.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played Starfield for 55 hours as of this review, and I'm really enjoying it. The game is massive, with a vast galaxy to explore and many planets to land on. I've spent hours just running around and exploring, and I've only scratched the surface. I've already dumped more hours into it than I did Skyrim and the many times I've restarted it, trying to commit to finishing it.

    The gameplay is also a lot of fun. I love being able to fly my own spaceship and engage in combat with other factions or people. The crafting system is also really cool, and I'm looking forward to building my own weapons, armor, and the many outposts I play to supplant on the worlds I visit. Is it NMS? Definitely not as they're two different types of game. Overall, Starfield and No Man's Sky are two different types of space exploration games. Starfield is a more traditional RPG with a focus on story and handcrafted content, while No Man's Sky is a more open-ended sandbox game with a focus on exploration and discovery.

    The story is still early, but it's already interesting. I'm intrigued by the mystery that I'm investigating, and I'm excited to see where the story goes. True to Bethesda form, the side quest are engaging as well with the sprinkle of events you come across as you travel.

    Overall, I'm really impressed with Starfield. For a decade where we've seen nothing but flops at initial launch, Starfield has turned out to be a great game, and I can't wait to see what else it has to offer. This has been one of Bethesda's better releases in a long while. I hope it just goes upwards from here for team Bethesda. (whatever happened to Redfall! Let's hope they repeat that failure!)

    Hot Tip (not a spoiler really):
    When you get the mission "Into the Uknown", which you'll get after completing the first 2 missions of main quest line, do it first before exploring and side-quests. It will open up Starfield fully and you won't regret not doing it sooner like I did.    … Expand

    No spoiler review other than how the game is supposed to be structured (if you should focus on main quest or sidequests). Contains things discussed prior to release.

    First things first: this game is a "textbook critic 8.5" but really a 7.5/10, so why a 9/10? Simple: people complaining about performance issues, haters and people who were mislead. People who were mislead, you ask? Yes:    No spoiler review other than how the game is supposed to be structured (if you should focus on main quest or sidequests).

    First things first: this game is a "textbook critic 8.5" but really a 7.5/10, so why a 9/10? Simple: people complaining about performance issues, haters and people who were mislead.

    People who were mislead, you ask? Yes: one, by Bethesda Game Studios with vague statements about exploration, handcrafted content (this one took everyone by surprise) and, surprise yourselves too: reviewers who gave it a 10/10 after claiming the first thing you should do is NG+.
    I truly think there is NO procedural generation and they truly only meant it was procedurally generated terrains, which is another misleading statement.

    YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IF YOU GO FOR NG+! More than enough reason to *ignore* every other single side quest, except a few for resources and credits. And, if you get to the final main quest mission you will realize you should have done more sidequests, saved that world and explored your first regular save more, THEN went to NG+, and go empty handed at a higher level to "finish the game". And this is coming from someone who plans to NG+ in stealth until I'm level 150, and then I will settle.

    Just why, you may ask: well, so much for "the most handcrafted content of any Bethesda game". You may find the same caves and outposts over and over which makes absolutely 0 sense, specially when searching for the "main quest items". Makes 0 sense for a game developed for more than 5-7 years. Same as the infinitely small number of weapons or communications (phones, anyone?) for no reason at all, although I confess interplanetary calls might have been too sci-fi.

    Besides, the good things:
    - This truly is one of the biggest RPGs of all time, only put to shame by Baldur's Gate 3.
    - There always is something to do and while yes, most "Activities" (tertiary sidequests?) are a chore there's some which - Great characters, great villains, great stories
    - Choices REALLY matter. Until, y'know, NG+.
    - Combat is unironically fun and not annoying, kinda easy where it needs too, too spongey where it should have not been
    - Outposts and ship building are REALLY good. Just remember to also do some sidequests to get a lot of credits, mainly the faction ones.
    - Exploration truly isn't that bad until you do it enough times to find the same layouts over and over.

    And no, it doesn't excel at anything except for physics without dropping below 30fps, which is unironically incredible. Everything is an 8.5/9 shadowed by the nonsense that is NG+ and lack of good procedural content (I think they only procedurally generate terrain, not layouts... incredible) when they could have justified "going back" pretty easily. They had the opportunity to excel there, and you will see the insanely missed opportunity.

    So yes, my review should be an 8, but just to compensate haters, trolls and people with underperfoming PCs I'm sorry little ones, but I have to do this...    … Expand

    So this is my honest opinion of the game.

    Judging by mixed review scores it's fair to say it's an either take it or leave it game. I'm not the biggest rpg gamer but i put a lot of hours into Skyrim and Fallout 4 and absolutely loved both. I don't usually buy premium editions of anything but I did with this. Why? No idea just impulse and the fact that on Steam it would be fully moddable.    So this is my honest opinion of the game.

    So what do I think of the game? Absolutely loving it. Theres just so much to do. I've got 60+ hours now and I have no idea whether I'm near end game or not. At first controlling the spaceship was hilariously bad but now it's clicked and dogfights vs multiple ships feels like I know what I'm dong here now. Gunfights are good with multiple weapons. It really is one of those games where you think I'll play for an hour or two and before you know it double or triple that has gone and you haven't really done anything.
    - 1 point for the menu system which is far to confusing for it's own good and not very well optimised (yet).

    Bugs - Only encountered a few but they usually just make you laugh in a Bethesda way. What other RPG can you put a bucket on someone's head? That's a win for me.

    Edit the women are pig ugly. Fixable with mods so not an issue.    … Expand

    A review coming from a PlayStation supporter who played the game on PC

    Pros: Amazing story, it takes a while for it to heat up but is still amazing Side quests and faction quests are so good that they rival the main storyline Soundtrack is pretty good, but a lot of the time it sounds very similar to Fallout's soundtrack Lots of character customization options, not as much as    A review coming from a PlayStation supporter who played the game on PC

    Pros:

    Amazing story, it takes a while for it to heat up but is still amazing

    Side quests and faction quests are so good that they rival the main storyline

    Soundtrack is pretty good, but a lot of the time it sounds very similar to Fallout's soundtrack

    Lots of character customization options, not as much as Cyberpunk 2077, but still there’s a lot

    Combat and gunplay is a massive improvement over Fallout 4, not as good as other shooter games but still pretty good

    There’s more verticality in combat with the boost packs and low gravity which is always fun

    Making the protagonist silent was the right way to go

    The list based conversation system returns instead of the conversation wheel, which is good

    No sense of urgency in the beginning, which is good

    Lots of choices for roleplaying like smuggling contraband, robbing ships, resolving situations peacefully or by force, stealing ships, bounty hunting, surveying planets, and many other choices

    The graphics are the best Bethesda has ever done, in a lot of instances they rival and sometimes surpass other titles

    Planets are really diverse with different color pallets, biomes, flora, fauna, resources, and gravity!

    Each major city and settlement is highly detailed with their size, lots of citizens, and small stories

    All of the cities are diverse and unique from the bustling city of New Atlantis to the space wild west styled Akila City

    Ship customization options are staggeringly plentiful and good

    Outpost building is pretty good and is completely optional so it doesn't sacrifice the quality of the game

    The procedural generation on the planets doesn't get in the way of the game's quality in my opinion

    Locations in procedural areas and planets are selected from a library of handcrafted locations, quests, and characters and then placed in the world, which is good

    So much potential for mods like adding the Pelican from Halo or the Normandy from Mass Effect and so much more!

    Cons:

    There are loading screens a plenty, but in my personal opinion it's a small price to pay for the interactivity of the world and other things

    The art style shines in a lot of areas but also looks kind of bland in a lot of areas too

    Exploration is okay but not as good as previous Bethesda titles

    There are bugs and glitches often but not to the point where the game is unplayable and there is nothing game breaking Piloting a ship is okay but it feels pretty sluggish and slow A couple of dated elements of the game like windows not shattering when you shoot them or no crouch detection Strangely there is no map when you're on the planets, I mean come on the game is in the year 2330 Verdict: 9 out of 10    … Expand

    The discourse around Starfield is genuinely astounding and it feels somewhat dishonest. I perfectly understand a good portion of players viewing this game as 'mid' or a bog standard Bethesda game, especially if they've only spent under 10 hours playing the game; but those acting as if the game is the worst game of the year are certainly strange.

    What's even weirder are those acting as    The discourse around Starfield is genuinely astounding and it feels somewhat dishonest. I perfectly understand a good portion of players viewing this game as 'mid' or a bog standard Bethesda game, especially if they've only spent under 10 hours playing the game; but those acting as if the game is the worst game of the year are certainly strange.

    What's even weirder are those acting as if Starfield is the worst Bethesda game made. While to some it may not be the best, it's certainly better than their modern games and I have to question whether those calling this qualitatively worse than Skyrim or Fallout 4, have even played Starfield past initially visiting New Atlantis.

    Having played Starfield for over 60 hours now I can say that this is by far my favorite Bethesda game and even with the multitude of flaws this game has, it is not a bad game. The quest design, dialogue, combat gameplay, and roleplaying are all leagues better than their previous attempts and while I understand seeing these aspects falling short of games like BG3, it is incredibly dishonest to even so much as insinuate that these aspects are worse than they were in Skyrim or Fallout 4.

    It feels like a good portion of the negative outcry is coming from a section of fans that either did not play the game, did not play it enough, or simply don't actually like Bethesda games. Of course a lot of the criticism is deserved, but to act as if there are zero redeeming qualities to Starfield is nothing but a joke. I dare any of those giving this game a 1/10 and calling it worse than Fallout 4 or Skyrim to actually go and play those games again fully vanilla. It's seriously not even close.

    As to some of my actual praises of the game, I will say that the side quests and faction quests are without a doubt some of the strongest questlines Bethesda have produced. The amount of choice and consequence within a lot of these quests are funnily enough exactly what people had begged Fallout 4 to be, but I guess you can't please everybody. Combat is good for a single player shooter RPG. It's not the level of an actual focused shooter but given the variety of gameplay in this game I never expected it to be.

    I personally think the negativity around exploration is largely overblown and I genuinely wonder if any of these people have spent more than 3 hours playing games like No Man's Sky or hell, Minecraft. It is certainly a criticism to have but acting as if it's the end of the world is funny to say the least. AI is the biggest problem I have personally.

    All in all Starfield is a quintessential Bethesda RPG. Flawed, long, slow, but the fun is always there if you look for it. If you truly enjoyed Skyrim and Fallout 4, you will likely enjoy Starfield. If you never actually liked those games and only liked the ideas of them, then yes you will probably not like Starfield. If you purposefully go into Starfield expecting a different game, make your mind up about hating it before playing it, and only focus on the negatives then drop it before 70% of the games functions even open up to you -then yeah you probably won't like it.

    But even then what's it matter? 2023 is a wonderful year for gaming and even if you don't like Starfield there are plenty of great games either soon to release or that have already released so go enjoy them! Or keep bringing up Starfield in random Reddit posts that have nothing to do with it, that's cool too!    … Expand

Los sellos de identidad de los juegos de Bethesda están presentes y muy bien llevados, incluso algunas mecánicas, algo defectuosas en sus pasados juegos, como los tiroteos han mejorado mucho. No obstante, otras novedades jugables, como la exploración por sectores separados, sus pantallas de carga para todo (aunque muy cortas), o todo lo que tiene que ver con las naves están en un nivel muy inferior, exceptuando su construcción y modificación que si me ha gustado.

    La historia principal te atrapa y te deja queriendo saber más, pero como cualquier otro juego de Bethesda, su historia sirve para aprender las mecánicas generales y servirte de guía por los diferentes lugares principales, donde terminarás encontrando otras tramas y sub-tramas y que en algunos casos por como te llegan (a veces aleatoriamente) y te apartan de la historia principal son tremendamente divertidas y uno de las razones principales que hacen los juegos de Bethesda tengan su sello especial dentro de los RPG.

    Gráficamente está muy bien, es su mejor obra en este sentido. La IA es muy mejorable y presenta los mismos errores que todos sus juegos anteriores y que se arrastran por el uso del mismo motor, que aunque tenga un buen lavado de cara su núcleo es obsoleto y deficiente en algunos aspectos, sobre todo los que tengan que ver con los personajes. La no presencia de DLSS influye bastante en su rendimiento, una decisión cuestionable en PC pues las tarjetas Nvidia tiene la mayor parte del mercado, pero eso es uno de los cientos en el futuro que la comunidad de Mods incluye e irá incluyendo para que este juego termine siendo mejor y más grande que en su salida.

    No es un juego perfecto, es sobresaliente en lo que ya sabía hacía bien su desarrolladora, pero se siente obsoleto y deficiente en algunas novedades, es como un café para los que toman café, si te gustan las franquicias anteriores de Bethesda como Fallout o The Elder Scrolls te gustará bastante, sino te gustan esos juegos este juego no es para ti, porque tiene las mismas virtudes y defectos.    … Expand

    If you want a enormous immersive interactive open universe firmly grounded in the roots of other Bethesda game but with a better quality story with lots of mechanics, interactivity, quests, environments and exploration then Starfield is probably for you.

    It also helps that for the most part the game is highly detailed and can look quite stunning and for the size and scope is incredibly polished in terms of bugs.

    To sum this game up it's Fallout in space but more polished more refined.    … Expand

    Still haven't actually finished the game, but for the first time in many many years I can't wait to fire a game up every moment I can. The game gives me the feelings I had when I was playing in my 20s and now I'm 39. This is enough for a 10/10 for me, giving a 9/10 only due to the fact it could have been a better game looking at its technical side.

    Its not perfect game, but its good continuation of F4. Probably this title has greatest mod potential. If u dont like F4 dont buy it.

    If u're looking for boring game like Elite or repetetive docking places, settlements like NMS - its not same kind of exploration. This game is rather FPS game its more Mass Effect than procedural generated. I prefer more Starfield than NMS or Elite mix.

    But as for now there is a lot to do for Bethesda to get game better. Its not best time for mods. If u like base building - there is a lot of map/management problems.    … Expand

A DLSS mod did make it more playable for me and I'm almost always around 60 fps outdoors and 90 fps indoors. It would however be nice if they implement DLSS natively.

    Great game. Guarantee the negative reviews are still playing this game. It's just this generation that is the problem. Would like to see a more skyrim style level up system. Instead of picking up points. Things upgrade based on use. Haven't found the a good use for the outposts. Feel like the metals are cheap enough to buy to get all resources for upgrades.

There is an incredible amount of high quality content here and it is clear that a lot of love went into this game. Perhaps other players just need to spend more time with it or maybe they are just disappointed that its not no man's sky with a Bethesda game attached to it. I don't know. But overall the critic review average is definitely fair. There are some problems with the game (the segmented felling travel being the biggest offender here) but there is so much more that is of such high quality that I cannot fathom the low scores. I'd say anywhere between an 85 and a 90 is definitely fair for this one. In a year or two down the line YouTube is definitely going to be filled with Starfield retrospectives about what a good game this is and how people overreacted to it's downsides in their reviews.… Expand

Gráficamente tiene luces y sombras, tan pronto te encuentras con una postal preciosa como con unas animaciones y movimientos de NPC de hace muchos años. En Español no se ha doblado siguiendo el movimiento labial de los diálogos (Como sí ocurre en inglés) haciendo que a mí en particular me de TOC cuando los personajes dejan de mover los labios pero siguen hablando, al final opté por ponerlo en inglés. Hay aspectos del menú que deben trabajarse como consumir directamente o necesitar visitar menos el menú. Incorporar más información en el panel de recursos en la compra-venta etc. Dicho esto, lo más importante es ENTENDER qué es Starfield. Pues te digo lo que NO es, no es un juego espacial. Es un juego NARRATIVO ambientado en el espacio y esta es la clave de todo. Algo que a muchos les pilló por sorpresa a pesar de que nunca jamás se ocultó las limitaciones de exploración (generación de mapas acotados) o pilotaje de nave (sin transición fluida planeta-espacio) El juego no se centra en permitirte pilotar tu nave y tirarte 40 minutos volando, aterrizar etc. El marco narrativo se volvería terriblemente largo y tedioso. Nadie terminaría el juego. Se entiende a la perfección por qué hay que hay fast travel, es totalmente imprescindible para seguir los multiples y complejos arcos narrativos y creedme no solo hay muchísimos si no que con las horas empiezan a adquirir una dimensión y profundidad maravillosas. Entendido esto, los elements RPG del juego están dentro de lo que cabría esperar, hay bastante variedad de equipo armas y modificaciones de ambos. Si sumamos la variedad de “mapas”con los arcos narrativos, la libertad general de los WRPG, unos gráficos que cumplen suficientemente bien, tenemos un juego que es MUY BUENO, no es perfecto hay cosas que pulir, pero lo de pilotar la nave al planeta no es una de ellas. Eso solo lo dirá la gente que no entiende qué tipo de juego es, de nuevo, no es un juego espacial, es un juego AMBIENTADO en el espacio que no es lo mismo. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo pero como siempre digo con los J/W RPG, hay muchísimas líneas de diálogo, muchísima conversación. Si este género te gusta Starfield te va a encantar. 9/10… Expand

    -Não poder viajar de planeta a planeta sem cutscene
    -IA padrão bethesda
    -Expressões faciais
    -Excesso de loading

    OUTROS ASPECTOS:
    -Não é muito intuitivo em algumas ocasiões, mas não considero isso um contra por nao ser nada impossível de descobrir sozinho
    -Apesar do excesso de loading, todos são extremamente rápidos comparados a jogos bem mais antigos


    No geral, o jogo não é tudo aquilo que prometeu, mas é quase. Se o jogo permitisse a viagem de planeta a planeta (como no No Man's Sky), tivesse uma IA mais inteligente e expressões faciais menos bizarras, com certeza seria um 9.5 a 10 pra mim. Apesar disso, o jogo é MUITO bom, divertido e com uma infinidade de coisas pra fazer! Pra quem não gosta muito de batalhar, tem a opção de farmar, construir nave, construir bases em vários planetas, explorar, conquistar 100% de conhecimento de todos os planetas de uma galáxia por exemplo. Pra quem gosta de muita ação, o jogo tem muita dungeon, várias invasões à naves com ou sem gravidade (invadir uma nave e desligar a gravidade dela é muito divertido, sério), além de muitas espécies de animais diferenciados em cada planeta q vc visita.

    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.
