The whole game is a soulless patchwork of the last 10 years successes in open-world games (Cyberpunk, RDR2, NoMS...) without any ideas where it's really going. Some side quests are ok, but the real point of the game is making you build ships and doing endless procedurally generated maps for ressources. Fun from exploration (traditionnaly found in ES games/Fallout fames) or Roleplay are now totally inexistant. It's basically a "single-player" mmorpg with over-written romance options.… Expand

    Instead of innovating the Bethesda formula, they stick to what they know and don’t add any new ideas. Almost all features are things that have been seen in Fallout and Skyrim.

Almost all features are things that have been seen in Fallout and Skyrim. Main story is boring, where missions are repeating the same action over and over. Special powers you get are rehashed shouts from Skyrim. Combat is slightly improved with gun handling but also lacking features that other Bethesda games have had in the past (sneak takedowns, executions, and guards being alerted to gunfire/attacks). The gameplay is pretty much Fallout 4 without VATS.
    The exploration in this game in my opinions fails in comparison to their other games. In Skyrim or fallout you can see something in the distance and walk there. In starfield, every planet might have 3 or more locations that are worth going to but to get there you need to fast travel between those locations and fast travel between planets. Everything feels segmented to where it shouldn’t even be called an open world.
    Facial animations are dated and companions are lifeless and seem to have no personality.
    The Choices you make seem to have little impact to the world around you. Everything just seems boring and bland.
    The side quests are hit and miss with some having genuinely interesting stories and lore. For a Bethesda game it is passable as a good rpg where you can sink a lot of time into. But they seem stuck in the past. Since Fallout 4, we have had other game studios make more interesting games where the rpg genre boundaries are pushed (Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate 3, and even Cyberpunk). I loved Skyrim and Fallout 4, but in 2023, Bethesda doesn’t seem like the industry pushing company that they used to be.    … Expand

    Amazing game! I don't know what the other reviewers are playing but this is one hell of a polished Bethesda experience. I have not been so invested in a game since I was in my late teens early twenties (Skyrim). Just play it, it makes your keep thinking about it after your play session is over too!

    Story wise the game is extremely boring and despite what some people say doesn't magically get better after 15 odd hours of gameplay.

    The skill tree feels extremely limiting and punishing.
    If you don't take lockpicking as an example there are many quests that you simply CANNOT finish.
    In comparison to other games like BG3 and even older BGS entries this feels extremely shortsighted and gives you a false sense of choice in regards to building your character.

    The environments feel bland and a person can really tell it was generated instead and not polished afterwards.
    The enemy bases are literally copy pasted and in around 40 hours of gameplay I probably saw the exact same enemy structures 5-6 times.

    The inventory system feels unintuitive and feels more like a chore than anything else.

    Surprisingly, the ship customization and ship battles really surprised me because they are half decently done.

    The graphics are unfortunately extremely outdated for a 2023 release.
    Character faces look outdated and overall looks jarringly bad.
    The game optimization is horrible, I am struggling to get consistent FPS on low graphics , while I can play any other modern game on medium/high graphics without any performance issues.
    The Creation Engine is really starting to show it's age, both in graphics as well as in combat.
    The FPS experience somehow feels very similar to Fallout 4 , and at this point feels inexcusable for a AAA release.
    The sheer amount of loading screens are jarring and it makes it almost impossible to get immersed in the game.

    The game would have been significantly better if they scaled the game down to 10 planets and instead hand crafted major areas on each planet for us to explore.
    Instead you are limited to a randomly generated generic block to explore for each planet.

    Overall I have played roughly 40 hours of Starfield , and don't think I'll ever be picking up the game again.
    The game tries to do too much and ends up as a half baked RPG and a half baked space exploration game.
    I would rather go replay another BGS title to get a better RPG experience or rather play No Mans Sky for a better space exploration game than play a game that does neither well.    … Expand

    I've always dreamed of someone making a game about space that captured the feel of some of my favorite sci-fi shows like Firefly and Cowboy Bebop etc. and this game accomplishes that and much much more.
    Starfield absolutely takes my breath away at every turn, from the stunning visuals to the space exploration and the seemingly endless amounts of well thought out content in this game, I feel like I could play Starfield for many years to come and never get tired of it. Each city feels like its own game, I find myself getting sidetracked from the main story very often by random side quests that usually lead to something extremely interesting.
    I haven't felt this way about games for a long time now; I feel like a kid again staying up all night not wanting to stop playing it.
    I'm already 80 hours in and I'm just scratching the surface of what this game has to offer. It's a phenomenal game in just about every way.

    This game is so disappointing.

    Three major flaws in the first hour : Controls, Music and Story. Controls are junky, like you are playing counter-strike, you walk too slow, you run too fast. Sprint is alright for combat but we are 2023 and this cannot sustain comparison to other developers not even their own past published games like Fallout. It really feels like a half-life mod.

    The music is so bland and boring, I dont know why you guys lost Jeremy Soule after Skyrim, that soundtrack was ASTONISHING, but everything Inon Zur do sounds like Crysis and its not good.

    The story is so much copy-past formula of past titles with no soul, like your reading a chapter but all that is written is the name of the chapter. This is a MAJOR FLAW.

    From then my jaw dropped when I got into my ship with excitement and I was pumped to hell when I saw the animation when you get to sit in the cockpit and then boom, Gravity hit me like a ton of brick. You dont even lift off your ship, you dont fly it in the air, in the atmosphere, you dont travel with it, you dont explore with it, you do nothing in that cockpit except shooting random pirates sometimes between cutseen/loading screen and even that they manage to scrap it. How can I hear pirates in their own ship saying childish stuff like : This isnt over yet !!! ??? Really ??? I knew from that point that this game isnt getting the passing grade. Im not even talking about bugs. Why have this awesome mechanics to build ships if you do nothing with your ship ???

    So you explore planet and put your helmet on. Where is the helmet ? This is first person game, and you see nothing. No shield, no reflection of light, they didnt bother to make you feel like you are wearing it, there is nothing in the screen, like you are a rover with a mounted camera at 5foot of height that looking right and left. They could have put the HUD in the shield of the helmet that would have been so cool, but nothing here. Then you think you should becarefull about the time you spend here because there is no atmosphere and your supply of Oxygen is limited. Again no, there is no supply of oxygen in Babyfield, you just use it like stamina and it comes back, same with fuel when you use the map to load the cutseen to travel to another planet.

    Im leaving this here. No worth it to talk about bugs, the story or character or procedural stuff or anything else really. These were MAJOR FLAWS.

    I dont know whats happening at Bethesda, too much Yes man, or family vibes where nothing is really important and there is no quality control and nobody is held accountable for anything serious. I dont understand, this game is a regress from their past titles.

    In space, you need to use trusters to escape the gravity of whats bigger than you. When you are past the threshold, you are ballistic. This isnt a jet, you dont need to burn your trusters to move around. If there is no air, there is no sound too.

    Nothing here makes me believe they are sci-fi lovers or space enthusiast at Bethesda, really?    … Expand

I get the technology isn’t quite there yet but I think the bit off a bit more than they could’ve chewed in that aspect.

    This is not up to the standards Bethesda has set in past games, and frankly, isn't even up to the standards of a modern space game.

The world feels dead, the main cities feel empty, you never truly feel emersed in the game as there are LOTS of things that take you out of it (will be noted below).

    Loading screens galore, going into your ship, taking off, entering a building, we are in 2023 and with the spec demands of this game, THAT is what you give us? Flying your spaceship is clunky as well, the controls are not intuitive, trying to move power from on area of the ship to another requires you to be some sort of dexterity wizard. Trying to move the ship as well, I can't tell you the times I've hit up or down arrow to move my ship (like in MANY other space games) only to find, I'm now going above normal speed or at a complete stop (because the mouse moves your ship up and down (ugg).

    But let's say you skip the space portion totally (it is a space game and yes, you have that option...why? I don't know). The shooting in the game is fine, but it's not something we haven't seen 100 times before. The AI is mind numbingly stupid. You can run right up to them and they will look around the corner as you shoot them point blank range.

    Let's talk about companions....the Robot you start the game with is ANNOYING. He is always getting in the way, and breaking emersion. Trying to sneak into a place, well your big robot isn't following suite, he's just standing there with a big bullseye on him. Trying to take cover in a small corner...well he'll stand in front of you (LITERALLY in front of you!) so you can't hit the enemy, then you have to move heaven and earth to try and get past him to get out of the area. The game would be better without the robot and frankly all the other companions as well. None of them are worth the aggravation of having to avoid them once they are on your ship.

    The questing? Well, let's me just tell you the 1st quest I got when I arrived in my first main city, was to get a cappuccino for a woman.....yes you heard right...go buy a coffee. spent 75 credits and she gave me 400 credits FOR A COFFEE!

    I'm running the game on high with a decent computer, 13th gen i5-13600K 3060 Graphic card and SSD HD and 32 GB of RAM. Didn't have any crashes but also, this graphics are nothing special. Outside of the few mandatory "show" scenes in the game, the NPC's (those that are in the game as "citizens") look like they are from the zombie apocalypse, they faces and bodies on them are from straight up 10 years ago. Even when you are tasked with following a named NPC, they can't even get them to walk up the stairs correctly. The one NPC I followed was gliding up the stairs taking them two at a time. It's the small attention to detail like that, a game like this should not be having trouble with.

    I have over 300+ hours in Skyrim, I've played and enjoyed Fallout4 and New Vegas, this game isn't even in that ballparks parking lot, much less the same league. Luckily I'm playing on Xbox Game pass on PC, and even with the game being free for me, It will probably be uninstalled by this weekend.

    There is no reason...NO REASON, to play this game over a game like No Man's Sky. THAT is a proper space game that feels alive and has endless amount of content. After being spoiled with BG3, even more spoiled with the free updates over the years for No Man's Sky, this is a gigantic disappointment and one of the most disappointing game releases for a game I was looking forward to I can remember. It's so bad, it's honestly making me question if Bethesda can recapture the magic of Skyrim in the next Elder Scrolls Game, or if this is a sign of things to come.    … Expand

    Starfield, Bethesda's highly anticipated spacefaring RPG, has finally launched, and it's safe to say that the game's storyline is its shining star. Set in a sprawling and mysterious universe, Starfield takes players on an epic journey through the cosmos, delivering an unforgettable narrative experience that's out of this world.

    From the moment you step into the boots of our protagonist,    Starfield, Bethesda's highly anticipated spacefaring RPG, has finally launched, and it's safe to say that the game's storyline is its shining star. Set in a sprawling and mysterious universe, Starfield takes players on an epic journey through the cosmos, delivering an unforgettable narrative experience that's out of this world.

    From the moment you step into the boots of our protagonist, you're thrust into a richly crafted universe filled with intriguing characters, ancient mysteries, and political intrigue. The storytelling in Starfield is a masterclass in world-building, with each corner of the galaxy brimming with history, lore, and a sense of wonder. Bethesda has once again demonstrated their prowess in creating immersive open worlds, and in this case, open galaxies.

    The central narrative of Starfield revolves around a quest to unlock the secrets of a mythical spaceship known as the "Starlancer." As players delve deeper into the story, they'll uncover a web of conspiracies, rival factions, and unexpected alliances. The narrative keeps you engaged throughout your interstellar odyssey, with unexpected twists and morally complex decisions that truly make you feel like you're shaping the destiny of the universe.

    One of the standout features of Starfield's storytelling is the diverse cast of characters you'll encounter. Each NPC has their own backstory, motivations, and unique personality, making the universe feel alive and dynamic. The dialogue system, a trademark of Bethesda RPGs, offers a myriad of choices that can significantly impact the storyline and your relationships with key characters. Building alliances or creating rivalries with different factions adds depth and replayability to the narrative.

    Visually, Starfield is a breathtaking spectacle. The attention to detail in crafting alien worlds, space stations, and spacecraft is nothing short of impressive. The game seamlessly transitions between planetary exploration and deep-space travel, giving players a sense of the vastness and beauty of the universe.

    While the story is undoubtedly the game's strongest aspect, it's not without a few minor hiccups. Some players may find certain side quests and activities somewhat repetitive, but these are easily forgiven given the grandeur of the main narrative.

    In conclusion, Starfield's storyline is its crowning achievement, offering an engrossing and immersive space adventure filled with intrigue, discovery, and memorable characters. Bethesda has successfully ventured into the cosmos, delivering a captivating narrative that will keep players hooked for hours on end. If you're a fan of epic, open-world RPGs with a focus on storytelling, Starfield is a must-play title that promises to be a space epic for the ages.    … Expand

    Menu driven, almost zero discovery, very few opportunities to explore areas beyond scanning plants and minerals.

    Exploration is procedurally generated trash, space "travel" is a joke, the writing and dialogue is Emil tier, the NPCs look psychotic, gunplay is like a poor man's cyberpunk, it's buggy as hell, the ending is as bad as no man's sky's, half the side quests and even most of the main quest are fetch quests, the combat AI is braindead, and the gameplay loop is essentially loading screens,Exploration is procedurally generated trash, space "travel" is a joke, the writing and dialogue is Emil tier, the NPCs look psychotic, gunplay is like a poor man's cyberpunk, it's buggy as hell, the ending is as bad as no man's sky's, half the side quests and even most of the main quest are fetch quests, the combat AI is braindead, and the gameplay loop is essentially loading screens, talking to poorly animated and badly written npcs that talk for way too long to deliver you a fetch quest, and shooting at rocks/bullet sponge enemies.

    It's not fantastic. It's not bad. It's about exactly what you would expect for a Bethesda game released in 2023. In any case there is a huge wealth of content to be discovered that makes up for its minor shortcomings that makes it worth the standard edition price tag.

    I really do not understand the low scores here. This game is different from other Bethesda game in that exploration is fundamentally different. There is not walking out of the cave or of the vault moment. There is not pick a direction and go moment.

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

    Starfield ist ein fantastisches Open World Rollenspiel, das an alte Bethesda-Stärken anknüpft und in fast allen Bereichen ein wirklicher Fortschritt zu früheren Bethesda Spielen ist (vom Rollenspiel über die Tiefe der Charaktere und der Fraktionen bis hin zu der Tatsache dass das Spiel im Vergleich zu anderen modernen Releases fast bugfrei ist) und teilweise revolutionäre eigene AkzenteStarfield ist ein fantastisches Open World Rollenspiel, das an alte Bethesda-Stärken anknüpft und in fast allen Bereichen ein wirklicher Fortschritt zu früheren Bethesda Spielen ist (vom Rollenspiel über die Tiefe der Charaktere und der Fraktionen bis hin zu der Tatsache dass das Spiel im Vergleich zu anderen modernen Releases fast bugfrei ist) und teilweise revolutionäre eigene Akzente setzt (der Schiffsbau ist großartig).

    Es hat seine Schwächen und diskutablen Design-Entscheidungen. Gerade das seltsame pacing des Reisens oder die fehlenden Karten können manchmal frustrieren und das Spiel braucht auch ein paar Stunden bis es wirklich Klick macht, sobald es dann aber Klick macht, zieht es einen in einen Sog, der einen eine Woche später verblüfft mit dem Gedanken zurücklässt, wo denn die ganze Zeit hingekommen ist.

    Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung für jeden, der etwas mit Open World Rollenspielen und Sci-fi anfangen kann und der auch einem Spiel die Zeit geben kann, sich voll zu entfalten, denn wenn es sich erstmal entfaltet, ist Starfield ein fantastischer Abenteuerspielplatz mit vielen tollen Geschichten, der einen für eine lange Zeit in seinen Bann zieht.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Soy jugador de starfield en ambas plataformas (Xbox-Pc) y un gran fan de los títulos de Bethesda. Pero dando mi punto más crítico e imparcial. Este juego es "Enorme, increíble, inesperado, abrumador y gigantemente detallado". Un gran salto en la innovación de los títulos anteriores. Un juego en el cual vuelves a sentir esa magia y te tiene horas pegado a la pantalla de tanta cantidad de cosas que tienes por hacer. Hay detalles sumamente grandes, en los cuales destacan mucho los visuales. En el cual también como al entrar a tu nave te hace sentir en tu casa, el guardar objetos, salir a explorar nuevamente, escanear animales, plantas, minerales. Moverte de un lado al otro del planeta solo para encontrar esa fauna específica y poder completar el bioma y planeta al 100%. Lo inesperado que es encontrarte con nueva fauna, y el esperar a ver si son territoriales, neutrales o estás siendo la presa. Las cuevas y su tremenda oscuridad, como te hacen explorar cada vez más allá. La gran cantidad de planetas y sus variaciones de biomas. La modificación de tus naves y como se logra ver después de tenerla lista por el interior y exterior, es algo fascinante del juego. Pongo esto en spoiler, dado a los poderes que tendrás más adelante, lo cual intensifican la inmersión que te hace sentir el juego y ese misterio que siempre está detrás de cada uno de ellos. Cabe destacar que tengo más de 80 horas en el juego. Y esto solo es un 20% de lo que yo he encontrado. El universo de starfield es fascinante.

    Starfield delivers what is essentially a pretty Standard BGS rpg experience, set in space. Those who were calling it Skyrim-in-Space or Fallout-in-Space hit the nail quite square on the head. Starfield just does it on a significantly more massive scale than any of their previous games.

    To me, this is a positive thing. No other sub-genre has given me more hours of entertainment value per title than the Bethesda RPG's. And, in the case of Starfield, they deliver this on a much grander scale than any of their previous titles. The attention to detail in the environments is phenomenal, if you take the time to visit and really explore the locals.

    Outpost (base) building and ship customization, managing your crew, crafting and upgrading your suits and weapons, gathering resources, exploring and surveying planets, running cargo missions, fighting off pirates, and more are all available to keep you entertained. There's so much to do that the biggest challenge I've found is in deciding what to do next. Yes, "Choice overload" is the biggest downside of this game, imo.

    Performance is, I would say, the game's second biggest downside. On my rig, I locked fps to 45 and have experienced smooth, stutter free gameplay. 45 is obviously not a very ideal fps, but it does work and it's not particularly a problem. Regardless though, I would definitely subtract points from the game for not performing better.

    Overall, I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a BGS rpg. If you liked Skyrim or Fallout 3 or 4, you will probably very much like Starfield. But if you didn't, you probably will not. And honestly, I don't see how anyone would have expected it to be any different than that.    … Expand

    Huge game , good main quest and good characters . The only thing this game falls off on is the optimization for now and the AI. Never had any game-breaking bug or crashes in my 80 hours , recommended .

    What an absolute GEM of a game! Loved/love every aspect of the game! Yes it’s a new IP! But that Bethesda feel is still there! Which I absolutely love! I highly recommend this game, the intro is a bit slow but it’s totally worth it after that.

    I have played over 40 hours. I think the game is wonderful and wonderfully flawed. I think those that give it less than a 5 did not temper their expectations.

I think those that give it less than a 5 did not temper their expectations. Everyone is expecting a masterpiece with every game, I expected this game to get reviewed bombed because the average consumer's level of satisfaction is impossible to obtain. Its not perfect, but there are gems to be found in this game. I will try to give a level-headed review of the game:

    Bad: It is buggy at times, you will be in loading screens A LOT, planet exploration is repetitive, inventory management and other UI leaves something to be desired, you are in pockets of worlds and space that make the universe seem small. Also the Main story is uninspired in my opinion.

    Counter point: However this isn't a space sim, exploration isn't really the focus of the game for better or for worse. I say this because if you just explore the game may seem empty, but if you focus on quests, which there are SO SO SO Many, then it brings life to the dead backdrop. Also some of these flaws like bugs are just Bethesda-esque and did not surprise me at all.

    The good: The planets, the cities, the unique encounters and quests are so fun that they bring the universe to life. The ship building, outpost building, the boarding of ships and space combat really do scratch that itch everyone who has ever dreamed of exploring the stars has had. The skill system and combat I think are great. The side and faction quests are some of the best they have ever made. I can't put it down. Despite its flaws, I think there is a lot of good in this game that I fully expect to play for a long long time.

    Neutral: I am playing on Xbox Series X, I do not care that is 30fps, and that its bethesda graphics. It works for me. I acknowledge some people hate this. I don't think this should matter to anyone.

    It is truly a Bethesda game that has not strayed far from its forbearers, if you expect a similar game to its predecessors with improved mechanics in some areas but lacking some Quality of Life improvements and fluidity, I think you will enjoy this game.    … Expand

    The game is great when you can get the game running smoothly with DLSS mods and other stuff to change the performance. I'm enjoying the game a lot I'm 50+ hours in and I'm still exploring and finding new things to do. In my time playing I've experienced 1 major bug stopping me from doing a quest but apart from that and the performance on PC I've not had any other issues.

    Low performance. Graphics do not meet system requirements. Todd Howard is a talentless creator who killed the Fallout series. I pray to Jesus Christ that the copyright for it would be taken away from Besesda and we would never see them ugly the legacy of Black Isle Studios again.

    Todd promised me the one of the gratest games of the generation, but i see only a fallout 4 with some modes. 3 scores only for detalised visual in some scenes. Tell me, that it is just an introduction for tes 6, please!

    Very boring game, feels more like a fast travel simulator.
    Some say it gets better after 12 hours or so,but for me this game and its npc's feel soulless.
    Maybe with some heavy modding it will be better,as for now not worth the price.

    Starfield was a good game. This statement would have been true 10 years ago.
    Is it still true in 2023? No.
    This game is nothing more than a 2.0 update of an aging Skyrim Vanilla. It is unacceptable to have a studio at this point in time resting on past glory by releasing equally mediocre versions of Skyrim one after the other. Skyrim Vanilla, Skyrim Legendary, Skyrim in space, Skyrim    Starfield was a good game. This statement would have been true 10 years ago.

    I won't even mention the catastrophic optimization and the bugs that have become your studio's reputation.
    Modders, however, are not here to do all your work, and it's high time to release polished games instead of barely concealed open betas.
    Hoping for a true overhaul of your vision for TES VI, I hope this feedback serves as a lesson.    … 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.
