    Did not enjoy it at all. Did feel like a game from 2010. No joy of taking off the ship or landing it. Alot of fast travels, more like the whole game is a big fast travel..

    Played it for about 40 minutes, then returned it. First off, the pronoun thing absolutely took me out of the game. I don’t play games to be reminded of our current reality. Secondly, it’s boring. People say it gets better 10+ hours in, but I wasn’t convinced. I’ll pick it up when it goes on sale, but not worth $70.

Without the PC port issues there would be some fun to have, especially for a free game, but when the developer claims they made planets boring on purpose because space is boring, you can glean the reality that they even realize it is a mediocre offering at best. Beat the game in 10 hours with the mining laser as my only weapon. Played 30 more to see if it ever gets good. Too bad I can't get a refund on my time, because it remains utterly dull. I've never reviewed anything before, but micro-thesda needs to be held accountable for this fraudulent release. I can only imagine how those who spent 300$ feel. Expand

A dead, barren wasteland filled to the brim with tedious menus and loading screens, horrible AI and writing. Any second spent on this game is a second wasted.

    Thank you, Starfield, for giving me a reason to cancel my gamepass. Money saved.

    Garbage game that doesn't live up to previous Bethesda titles and forced "preferred pronouns" that are forced on people. They say it's not a big deal, but then they ban mods that remove the "preferred pronoun" bs.

    I was looking forward to this but sadly one of the blandest most uninspired games I've played in a while.

    The space side is odd, most of the action is FPS based ground / outpost based, almost nothing in actual space. You don't really have free-form flight, there is no sense of travel, you just fast travel everywhere. I love exploring, when playing games like Skyrim I rarely if ever
    I was looking forward to this but sadly one of the blandest most uninspired games I've played in a while.

    The space side is odd, most of the action is FPS based ground / outpost based, almost nothing in actual space. You don't really have free-form flight, there is no sense of travel, you just fast travel everywhere.

    I love exploring, when playing games like Skyrim I rarely if ever use fast travel, I love just walking through the world exploring, feeling like I'm part of it. With Starfield you have to fast travel everywhere, exploring planets feels boring, you just pick a random spot to fast travel to and then walk around empty areas to the nearest procedurally generated waypoint to explore the same basic cut and pasted generated content. Nothing feels particularly epic or even interesting.

    The RPG aspects seem pretty much boiled down to an on-rails story and a bland skill tree. There are no really choices or ramifications for anything you say or do. Bar the main story side missions have no real affect on anything, dialogue choices affect almost nothing and the NPCs are wooden and uninteresting.

    Graphically the game looks very dated, the ships flying around in orbit look like they've just been pasted in and are being pulled around on string like cardboard cutouts, New Atlantis looks particularly bad. Neon looks better but not by much.

    NPCs are just pathing around, they look like copy / paste clones, there are no schedules or life to them.

    Loading screens abound, almost everything has a loading screen, entering a building..loading, taking off..loading, landing..loading, using an elevator..loading, you get the idea.

    The UI is truly awful, each screen seems to have it's own shortcuts using the same keys for different actions, there is no consistency. On one screen it might be Q and T to scroll through tabs, on another it might be Z and C. One screen might using Tab to exit, another uses Esc.

    The controls in the ship builder and output builder are especially bad, placing components on your ship should be quite easy, but trying to drag a component from one level of the ship to another horrible. The output builder is even worse, the overhead camera view has some of the weirdest controls I've come across with mouse-X rotating and mouse-Y zooming, mouse-wheel changing item, left and right buttons rotating the item. And rotate isn't snapped at all, it's almost impossible to align anything with each other or the outpost walls. Games like Satisfactory, Space Engineers and pretty much anything do a much better job.

    The game might improve, I've only played for 20 hours, but I don't feel like sinking any more time into it. I've more than enough other games to play, RPGs with great RPG mechanics, space games with actual space flight and story driven games with far more compelling stories.

    TLDR;

    Space game without real space travel
    RPG without any ability to actually play a role and have any impact
    Ship and outpost builder with awful UI
    Living world with lifeless NPCs
    Next-gen with 5-10 with aged gfx

Redfall is a monstrosity that never should have existed. Fallout 76 should have never existed. Now Starfield, a game that should not exist. Ever since they’ve sold out to Microsoft, it’s like they’ve been making games with these loony tunes looking graphics as it seems their new target audience is anyone under the age of 12.

    I had written a 4000+ character review before MetaCritic threw a error 500, so I really don't want to rewrite it. Instead I'll give a shortened version.

    I had written a 4000+ character review before MetaCritic threw a error 500, so I really don't want to rewrite it. Instead I'll give a shortened version.

    Movement is bad. This includes 1st and 3rd person. Also 1st and 3rd person walking is drastically different. You instantly move in 1st person, but 3rd person is delayed so the character animations can go through. If you run and jump, but suddenly stop pressing w you just stop moving all together. There is no momentum.(You're in space I promise you there is momentum.)

    Flying your space ship in 1st person is nauseating. 3rd person is required and even then is not a 'fun' experience. Looting requires you to fly to each ship to press e on them where as mining on land it auto loots. Changing power allocation on your ship mid flight for combat is not engaging. If they could allow for power allocation presets it would be more enjoyable.

    Game tries to get you to use their cover system, but it feels like you're fighting with the games programming to even trigger the cover action. Bullets shoot from the tip, but they do not shoot straight out the barrel they go diagonal from the barrel to the cursor.

    The faces are jarringly bad. Not uncanny valley bad. If anything it looks like a mannequin. Eyelids don't line up and clip through the eyeballs. The mouths look like they just came from the dentist and are fighting off being numbed up. I spent an hour in character creation to make something that I could at least at the end of the day like, but gave up because the creator was just awful to use and everything looked well.. bad.

    I've read many posts say the game gets good after 12-15hr. If the average person has time to play games for 1-3hr a day that is a week of playing the game before it pays off.

    I would not recommend this to anyone. I would not recommend it to people who like Bethesda games. I would not recommend it to people who like space exploration. I would not recommend it to anyone who likes resource gathering and base building.

    Your time is best spent elsewhere.

    Another noticeable issue is the presence of endless loading times, which constantly interrupt the flow of the game and detract from the enjoyment.

    Overall, this game leaves much to be desired in terms of quality, innovation, and delivering a satisfying experience for players. It's a shame to see a title that promised so much end up falling so far below expectations.

    I more then meet the "Recommended" requirements for this trash let alone the minimum requirements and then Todd wants to sit there and say they did optimize it!? If i set everything to ultra i get 20fps, if i set everything the low i get 20fps.. this makes total sense.. tried all the performance tweaks and mods nothing. This was Bethesda's last chance from me.. oh well i guess

    At least, i WOULD have enjoyed it if it weren't for the absolute cascade of bugs. I've had about a dozen crash to dekstop's amongst other minor and major bugs. I meet the recommended system requirements for the game as well, installed the latest drivers, and my framerate bounces continiously between 20-40fps. But what really pushed me over the edge is that starting today - the game refuses to save my game. Pressing 'save' in the menu leads me to an error message saying "could not create save file" essentially meaning that ANY game progress i make from here on out is not going to matter. Troubleshooting leads me to that the culprit for many seems to be Microsoft OneDrive, but i don't have it enabled. Ergo, i can't even fix this myself.

    I don't think i've ever had such a poor experience with a new release, and especially from a dev as renowed as Bethesda. Hence this poor review score. Stop releasing games that are a broken, buggy mess. Period.

    Um jogo que é aguardado há mais de uma década e sai com a qualidade de duas gerações atrás, a nota dele não é mais baixa devido os caixistas realmente não saberem o que é um jogo bom. Ainda tem gente dando nota 10 se enganando, como diz o ditado: O pior cego é aquele que não quer ver...

    Anyway I'm not going to go go through the list of negative stuff, because all the reviews below have pointed it all out. Save your money. You worked hard to earn it, and this company did not work hard to earn it from you.

    НПС
    1) Исчезают перед дверьми, обливион, передает плотный привет
    2) Застревают в воде/траве/кустах/текстурах
    3) Боевой искусственный интеллект с тобой не воюет.
    Интерфейс
    1) Интуитивно непонятно(что за цифры на этих пушках), тебя не погружают игру, не объясняют как ей пользоваться, просто говорят, на держи учись.
    2) На все разные кнопки, и без шуток их реально много, на земле одна и та же кнопка открыть планетарную карту и бросить гранату, ну это блять шутка.
    3) Ещё одна шутка которую стоит оценить по достоинству это худ корабля, опять таки что ты на техническом столе изучать хрен его знает.
    4) Выполнить квесты для прокачки навыков, реально?
    Геймплей
    1) Отсутствующая регистрация попаданий.
    2) Нет импакта от оружия.
    3) Нет ощущения сложности, ты на первом уровне херачишь 5-12. Вопрос какой смысл в этих хелфбарах если они ни о чем не говорят, как и уровни в целом.
    4) Отсутствующая экономика в игре, чтобы вы понимали когда я первый раз прибыл на землю и при продаже инвентаря(Первые 15-20 минут геймплея) у меня было 13 тысяч кредитов. Нет это не девальвация, достаточно неплохой крейсер там стоит 240 тысяч.
    Сюжет
    1) Ты красивый, самый сексуальный, самый сильный и особенный, в очередной раз так интересно смотреть как Bethesda идет по одному и тому же шаблону.
    2) Многие говорят перетерпи 10-15 часов чтобы тебе начала нравится эта игра. Предлагаю следующее может купите сейчас, а когда-нибудь потом через несколько лет выйдет игра от Bethesda, которая реально будет хороша и вот тогда ваше ожидание будет напрасно. Я к чему веду. Если игру реально нужно терпеть, чтобы получать от неё удовольствие, то может с игрой что-то не так?
    3) Высадился на неизвестной планете, увидел неизведанную точку, есть два варианта: Идти пешком несколько километров, или ещё минимум три загрузочных экрана. Чувствуете бесшовность
    4) Душно, иди поговори там, постреляй их, вернись туда. 24 век на дворе люди изобрели гипердвигатели но не изобрели межгалактическую связь, а нет, изобрели, но в чем тогда проблема, я ведь дистанционно не могу связаться с нужным человеком и сказать что миссия выполнена, мне надо лететь через НЕСКОЛЬКО ЕБАНЫХ СИСТЕМ, чтобы банально сдать квест. Вы совсем охуели?

    0 желания развиваться. Я смотрю на этот "Шедевр" и вижу как всем было просто банально похуй, потому что за 12 лет игра не переросла потолок движка демонстрируемый скайримом, те же ошибки, те же баги, те же проблемы. Навели марафет с красивой графической составляющей, круто, только в очередной раз с оптимизацией обосрались. Бездари, с большой ебать буквы.

    Let me start by saying that I feel like I was cheated out of my hard earned money, not because of the gameplay, but because of how much they are forcing their one sided opinions on people. Nowhere does Bethesda warn you about just how one sided / woke they made this game. I have over 90 hours in this game so I feel like I have a good perspective of what Starfield brings to the table.Let me start by saying that I feel like I was cheated out of my hard earned money, not because of the gameplay, but because of how much they are forcing their one sided opinions on people. Nowhere does Bethesda warn you about just how one sided / woke they made this game. I have over 90 hours in this game so I feel like I have a good perspective of what Starfield brings to the table. Here's a summary:


    1. Almost every important NPC from most store owners, military generals / commanders, the leader of Constellation, the supervisor leading the mining expedition at the start of the game, and even the president of the United Colonies, are all women. When it comes to a position of power or leadership, females very obviously and deliberately dominate every sector. The only time that a white male character is in a position of real leadership, is the leader of the Crimson Fleet, one of the main villains of the game. It's very obvious the developers hate white males, as they are a huge minority. 2. You can tell just how "diverse" the developers are by looking at the random civilians and guards in every city. In 90 hours of gameplay, Most of the guards / soldiers have been either black males or females ( of all races ), and females do dominate the soldiers / guards as well. The civilians consist of both genders, but almost exclusively Black or Asian. It's very rare to find white males anywhere in any cities, and the only places I usually find them is either in the ghetto of every city, or working the mines. With the way the world is going today, this maybe seems like a not too distant reality anyway. 3. If you are religious and believe in God, you will be very disappointed here. This game actively tries to find some sort of "scientific facts" to persuade people into thinking God isn't real. None of the main companions believe in God, and the only one that comes close believes in the "great serpent", in which that religion is viewed as a cult by almost every NPC. 4. When you create your character, you can choose your "body type" and "walk type" between Male or Female, and then you get the privilege to choose your pronouns. You can either be a He, a She, or a They. This one I am not as bothered by as this only revolves around your personal character. You can be a straight male if you want ( Although every romance companion is Bi ). The problem I have with the pronouns is that the Left all say "pronouns are no big deal" but when someone creates a mod to remove pronouns in the character creation for people who don't want to participate in that either due to religion or another reason, are attacked by the Left for their personal preferences. Very hypocritical and selfish of them to force everyone to share their views or get attacked, even though "It's not a big deal". If someone is going to be paying all that money for a game, they should have the freedom to play it how they want personally.


    5. There is a Transgender main character in the game ( part of one of the main side questlines ), but they try to be a little more cautious about the wording on this in the game by calling them a clone. You are pretty much forced to support this character throughout the questline even if you have different beliefs. Overall, the choice to purchase this game is entirely up to you. If you are into everything I mentioned earlier, this game is absolutely for you. But for those that share different beliefs and views, I would highly recommend avoiding the game until they either make it more diverse without the white male oppression, or a mod fixes it. They deliberately hid this aspect of the game until people purchased it and played enough to the point of no longer able to get a refund, and that was the wrong approach from Bethesda. Why can't we have a modern game where people can express themselves without being forced to a single ideology that they might not agree on? In my opinion, this game has to be one of the most racist / sexist games against White males that I have ever played. The gameplay itself is very fun ( other than the limits on exploration ) and there is a lot to do in terms of side activities, base / ship building, combat, etc. So it's not all bad. It all depends on your own personal views. Would it have been great for them to support both sides? Absolutely, but unfortunately that's not how the world is going. For me personally, this game is a 0/10 as the world building is immersion breaking.

    Incredibly overrated, by no means GOTY material, cannot understand all of these 10/10 reviews
    I expected so much more for how long we waited.
    Let me start by saying that I love Bethesda games. Fallout 3 is one of my all time favorites, as is Skyrim. I liked Fallout 4 and I even like and defend Fallout 76, so I am definitely not anti Bethesda. I've played for around 40 hours now and

    Let me start by saying that I love Bethesda games. Fallout 3 is one of my all time favorites, as is Skyrim. I liked Fallout 4 and I even like and defend Fallout 76, so I am definitely not anti Bethesda.

    I've played for around 40 hours now and finished the main quest, so I believe I am at a point where I can say I'm well acquainted with the game.
    * The fast travel is needlessly complicated, so many loading screens, so much to do, just to get from point A to point B.

    * There are plenty of bugs. People online saying it doesn't have bugs are lying. This game has been far more buggy to me than Skyrim.

    * The graphics are nothing special and I am playing on a year old Alienware PC. My settings are ultra high def.
    The graphics are inferior compared to Cyberpunk or Witcher 3.

    * The quests and NPCs so far have all been completely non memorable. Nothing has tugged at my emotions. No moral dilemmas. Go fetch this, go get that. I am so incredibly underwhelmed by the quests and NPCs.

    * The NPCs all have bulging eyes. Like all of them. It really ruins immersion because how weird they all look.

    * There is no atmospheric story telling in this game and I think that is what is truly bothering me most. You know how in the Fallouts you constantly find scenes or skeletons or unmarked locations that tell you a story without telling you a story? I have seen none of that in this game, anywhere, like not even one instance. So many abandoned buildings you cannot access. Nothing on the roofs. They didn't even write books for this game, like in the Elder Scrolls. Every book you find is public domain like Moby Dck etc. I have yet to find any notes or computer entries that offer lore or just atmosphere, everything you find is quest essential. The planets really are truly barren. Like on Earth, you can find the remains of the St. Louis Arch and a few other landmarks but literally everything else is sand. Really? Really???No roads or anything left of New York or.....nothing? But the arch is still standing.

    * It has been clear since Fallout 4 that Bethesda is trying to tone down mature content to make their games playable to a more wide age range. While mature content is NOT mandatory for a good game, they need to understand that their target audience for games like this is still, and always will be, adults. You don't have to make it rated R, but PG13 is a good balance. There is so little violence, gore, adult themes, language in this game, that I could easily let my 6 year old play it, but he'd be bored out of his mind with all the loading screens. What they captured in Fallout 3, in terms of maturity, was PERFECT. You didn't have nudity. The cursing wasn't excessive. It was very well balanced. I implore them to return to making adult games for adults.

    ***My next complaint, I think Bethesda was really trying to do a good thing, I do, but this is not how to do it. I think they had the best intentions and were trying to be more inclusive.
    I do not understand why female bodies and female faces and female haircuts are pretty much non existent in this game. As someone who identifies as female, I feel this is a bit misogynistic. I do not feel this is inclusive regarding my gender identity. My character is flat chested with no curves and cannot be given female features, and this applies to all other female characters in the game. I wish I could attach pictures of my character, it's sad. I think they were going for non binary or androgynous, which it's wonderful they are trying to include our LGTBQ+ friends in your games. Our non binary friends deserve to be included! But consider our loved ones who are trans and going through transition from M to F. They already have body dysmorphia and this game is a great opportunity for them to role play in the body they want----a female body---only to see that they cannot have breasts or curves. I URGE Bethesda to consider going back to the body types used in Fallout 4/Skyrim, and to be inclusive for all body types and genders. Allow players to be more masculine or more feminine. I am currently waiting for mods so that I can make a character body that identifies with my gender identity.

    I know you cannot please everyone. I know that programming and creating a game is incredibly hard work and that their team put in countless hours, sweat, tears, and lost sleep.

    I encourage Bethesda to please read through these reviews and try to address what you can. The game is still new and there is plenty of time to win over the community.

    - Graphics are ancient, only a little bit improved - NPC are without depth, no emotions - Story is written like a child. e.g. You start as a miner and find an artifact and just get a spaceship from a stranger. - 1000 planets but 99% almost the same and pointless - Cities seem tiny,

    - Space in the game hardly exists, because you have to use only fast travel anyway. You can't even land yourself.
    - and so on

    For 20 years of development time of a company worth billions, which have as a goal to dominate the market, this is just an extremely bad joke. I can also in no way understand the 100 point ratings of some magazines. Since the game is already extremely bad. If Bethesda had rather put the money into the game than 90% into the PR, it could have been something.

    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.
