    This game is one big disappointment, as always with this studio. It's amazing that people just now opened their eyes and saw not a game for more than 200 million dollars, but a piece of unfinished code with deceived expectations, Skyrim-level activities, loadings every 2 minutes, crooked animations, disgustingly written quests, cheesy main quest, empty planets, and other bad stuff

    Take a cheese grater to fallout New Vegas and it's character system, sprinkle that onto Skyrim, shave off base building from fallout 4. And glue the entirety of no Man's sky to it. And

    I don't like this all review-bombing from straight up haters.

    This game is a Bethesda love letter to the fans and if you like Bethesda games then you'll LOVE Starfield. Game of the decade in my opinion.

Le di una oportunidad a los de Bethesda pagando mi gamepass, el editor de personaje no está mal, es bueno pero luego de la exploración en si es demasiado monótono y aburrido, juegos espaciales como Star Trek Online sinceramente son superior en todo a pesar de ser un juego bastante viejo. Me la pasé caminando horas en paramos desolados, escaneando rocas y matando uno que otro bichito. Quedé decepcionado, yo esperaba mucho más del juego :(… Expand

    Why can’t I have a map of a city? I’ve got a map of the galaxy but not a map of a city? Did they stop doing google maps in the future and only make Star maps?
    Combat isn’t great but the audio is! Audio sounds incredible! I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone who isn’t already a Bethesda fanboy. It’s a shame that the game that was meant to be a system seller, game of the generation is still stuck in the Bethesda loop.    … Expand

    In resume: This game is souless.

    How can a game that has been in development for more than ten years (they market more, don't they?) be a science fiction space adventure and the first thing we notice is that they don't include "space travel" or "space exploration"? Are you kidding me? You can't take off or land on a planet. Loading Screens everywhere.
    Even the advertasing exploration is not true, you can't explore fully a planet, an invisible wall and a message appears after you walk some Km.
    The planets being proceedal generated is acceptable (at some point) but the copy and past of outposts and caves and bs on a planet is abismal. And I'm not talking about 5 occasions, is dozens apon dozens... Don't forget there are thousand of planets...

    It's awful how little immersion there is. developed for more than ten years, but where? What did you do with the money and time?
    Why is this game so empty? We know that most of space is empty, therefore I won't discuss about the planets, which are assumed to be empty. The cities, though? The cities are deserted, dead, and devoid of life. No one is concerned if you shoot. Police won't intervene. This is advertising has a RPG. An RPG should, at the very least, have strong exploration, be immersive and soulful.
    There are nothing in this game that will pull you to this world. The first missions I did after I was "released" in space were the most ridiculous missions, you know that ones that are there to fill the game with bs? Yeah... My thought was "this is going to be the entire of the game will it not?". Ridiculous.
    I will not talk about bugs of course...

    Man, this is bad. This people need to stop with this bs, for real.

    Great game with wonderful story and immersive game world and quests. Do not compare it to Star Citizen or No Man Sky because this is not flight simulator. I tried Star Citizen and honestly it has nothing on Stafield except more involved atmospheric flight. Who cares about that tho? If I want to enjoy flying experience I just boot up MSFS.

    Starfield: Disappointment in the Open Cosmos

    Starfield, despite appearing to be a grand game set in an open-world space, conceals within it the corridors of monotony that often detract from the enjoyment.

    Starfield, despite appearing to be a grand game set in an open-world space, conceals within it the corridors of monotony that often detract from the enjoyment.

    One of the primary issues with Starfield is its repetitiveness. The cosmic world you're meant to explore feels perpetually the same. Every mine, every outpost, and indeed, the entire universe seems to be copied and pasted repeatedly. Enemies remain constant, turning each encounter into what feels like a mandatory task rather than an engaging experience.

    As for the story, there's no meaningful connection with factions or character development. Everything revolves around a formulaic scenario where you have to go somewhere, fetch something, kill someone, or shoot something, and you won't encounter anything genuinely new. The RPG element in this game is disappointingly weak, especially when considering the quality achieved in Bethesda's previous titles like Fallout: New Vegas.

    The actual spaceflight, which was supposed to be a major highlight of the game, feels strangely unsatisfying. It's more like a sped-up transit between planets, making it feel more like "fast travel" than actual space exploration. This is a massive missed opportunity for exploring the cosmos and the experiences that could have been associated with traveling between different worlds.

    While you may find various plants and weather on the surface of planets, that's about the only variation the game offers. Interiors are virtually identical. Enemy encounters are monotonous, quickly becoming repetitive and dull.

    Overall, Starfield is a significant letdown. You feel like you've entered an open cosmos, but in reality, you're trapped in the corridors of monotony and subpar design. If you have a choice, you might want to consider other RPG (BG3) because, unfortunately, Starfield doesn't deliver the expected experience, and I would not recommend it to anyone.    … Expand

Starfield has some flaws like the lack of a city map and the usual Bethesda NPC bugs but the core gameplay is rock solid. I like the NASAPunk art style of the game. In some area's the game feels like GTA in space, in some other like Fallout in space. Another cool thing is space combat and docking your ship, entering spaceships and killing pirates. I'm slightly disappointed in space travel, as the game doesn't seem to have seamless space exploration, but this isn't a major problem for me. I haven't experienced any problem with the tiles. The regions are massive, they feel as big as GTA4's Liberty City...in one of my play sessions it took me 40+ minutes to reach a space station on Mars...from the borders of Cydonia City....i expected the infamous boundary message but didn't. In all fairness, even seamless exploration is a topic of discussion, you can technically fly to planets if you want but it takes hours (there's an example of a Youtuber flying to Pluto, it kinda works..kinda doesn't..). Other things i love about the game, FPS/third Person shooting gameplay..ship building, base building, doing story missions & side-missions, exploring lifeless planets and taking photo's. The game has it all. I think Starfield is a great game but has some minor flaws..this is why i can't give the game a 10/10. My overall score for Starfield is 9/10.… Expand

    The Good:
    -Finally a Bethesda game that supports ultra wide settings without messing with ini files. Something they still couldn't be bothered to update with Skyrim and the millionth release.
    -Player character isn't voiced. Please never do what you did with FO4 ever again.
    -Many newer AAA games put far too much focus on controllers nowadays, ignoring kb/m, but kb/m plays quite nicely

    The In between:
    -Ran okay on my PC. I cap my fps to 60, and despite having a 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800x, i was having drops to the 50's. Needs heavy optimization on PC

    The Bad:
    -Combat is horrible. I'm fairly casual and like simple games nowadays...but jfc combat is painfully dumb. First "boss" which you can talk your way out of just stood in the open and opened fire hardly hitting me, robot dude killed him as I stood there. So far all enemies I encountered you just stand in the open and fire at them. Might be the dumbest enemy AI I've seen, not to mention I just casually walked into areas and they didn't react until I was next to them (without crouching). Even then most of the time they wouldn't do anything.

    -Ship combat is clunky and unenjoyable. NMS had the same issue but I thought a AAA 2023 title would have improved this. Also it's pretty pointless to partake in outside of the beginning tutorial for it.

    -Character creation. Kinda mediocre. Hair looks as bad as always for a Bethesda game, and yet another game that thinks blond hair is yellow, white or light brown. Seriously ask Larian for their colour pallet.

    -Inventory. Clunky and a massive mess to navigate through.

    -No FOV slider, again.

    -Voice Acting. It's typical generic and bland v/a from a Bethesda title, but how can a company worth this much spend so little. Maybe I just got spoiled with another recent release that had amazing v/a.

    -The beginning is dull. People keep saying play for 15-20 hours and then it gets good. That is beyond terrible game design. Who wants to slog through 15+ hours of bad game play?

    -It's just lazy. A game this long in the making it adds absolutely nothing to the RPG genre. I can't think of any other studio that can make such lazy and uninspired games and get the "well it's a Bethesda game uwu" as if that excuses things. I don't see any way that modders can even fix this game at this point (other than performance/bug fixes, like Skyrim still needs to this day).    … Expand

If you don't like mechanics of Bethesda that is on Fallout . Neither. It's a game specifically for gamers who like space issues but not offering that Sci fi like interstellar.

    there are so many issues with this game, everything from fast travel, to the whole map system, terrible menus, copy-pasted environments, lack of unique enemies and encounters (most creatures just walk towards you and melee attack) and some of the most important story content (temples, or the same rock structures with random artifact wedged in) are all the same thing, copy-pasted.

    Easily Bethesda's worst game. I've been huge fan of this Studio since DAGGERFALL.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitivamente um jogo Bethesda!
    O jogo tem um começo lento que demora para engatar o jogador na narrativa, e em todo o grande universo do jogo, embora todo o esforço no final, vale a pena.

    Starfield definitivamente e um Rpg completo com dezenas de camas de profundidade em todas as suas mecânicas.
    Embora o jogo seja cheio de telas de carregamento, creia se que seja por um nobre motivo... Os ambientes fechados ao qual os jogadores são submetidos a telas de carregamento, são recheados de detalhes de alto nível que demostra o cuidado do level designer, como por exemplo: entrar em uma "masmorra" de início meio e fim, onde tudo até o final tem texturas e detalhes muito grandes! E quando se chaga no final, se encontra uma recompensa e também a porta pelo qual se iniciou a "masmorra"

    As missões principais são de longe as mais envolventes dos últimos 10 anos da Bethesda. Desde pequenas missões que alteram a forma como npc's vêem você pelo mundo, até grandes mudanças de gameplay no qual adquirir uma nave famosa na missão "Mantis" pode fazer com que inimigos temam você, e até fujam.

    Todas as personalizações são extremamente completas, seu personagem pode ter o rosto que desejar através do amplo menu de personalização. Suas naves podem ter a aparência, força e tamanho que desejar, algo que também afeta a forma como npc's interagem com você, alguns podem te elogiar ou comentar com outro npc sobre sua nave.

    As telas de carregamento são de longe o maior problema deste jogo, embora como já dito, um custo a se pagar perante o grande nível de detalhamento.    … Expand

    The NPC's stare straight at you with the most awkward facial expressions I've ever seen, the same way they did way back in Bethesda's Xbox 360 days. After the incredible motion-capture facial animations we got with BG3, this is just laughable.

    There are loading screens for everything. Traveling between worlds, entering your ship, entering buildings... all loading screens. Even if you painstakingly travel to a planet in space manually, you pass through it like the PNG that it is.

    The PC version crashes constantly. On good hardware (7800X3D and 4090) it runs around 60-80 FPS at 1440p. Very poorly optimized.

    The game is "fine". I'm glad people are having fun with it but it is nothing special and certainly not worth the $70 price.    … 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.
