    Having a blast with this game. People expected this to be a full on space sim but clearly didn't pay attention to how transparent bethesda was about the game mechanics. It takes a couple hours to get into really opening the universe but it's definitely worth it. The more you play the more the game gives you is true.

People expected this to be a full on space sim but clearly didn't pay attention to how transparent bethesda was about the game mechanics. It takes a couple hours to get into really opening the universe but it's definitely worth it. The more you play the more the game gives you is true. I'd say first and foremost it's an RPG with the ability to have space battles ship building base building and exploration. Not a full on sim so don't expect to play it like other space Sims. My only gripe so far is some loading screens seem unnecessary, like going into small shops within the city or loading into a tiny cave from the surface of a planet. I hope they are able to procedurally generate those in the future without having to load in even though it's literally a 1.5 second black screen. I definitely recommend this game and cannot wait to see what modders do with it as well.

    Running on steam with a 5700xt, 3700x, 32gb of ram, m.2 nvme drive. A mix of settings from medium to high to ultra and my average FPS from the amd app says 64.5.

    De lo mejor de Bethesda en estos últimos años. Tiene algo de parecido a Fallout y Elder scrolls pero con un nuevo universo. Es un mundo enorme para explorar y hay mucho por hacer. Sin duda es uno de los juegos que debes probar si o si. Olviden la guerra de consolas y denle una oportunidad a este juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is honestly an 8.5 to me but because fanboy Sony ponies want to review bomb this new IP cuz they super jelly I gave it a 10… wish I had more flight options planet side with the space ship the bugs I have experienced on series x have been minimal haven’t had it crash(knock on wood). Gameplay is solid story was good (I would recommend focusing on main story first play through). This game has massive upside can’t wait for the mods. Expand

    Took some time to get use too. Excellent game and so much fun! Don't be discouraged by the 0 scores by the Sony fan boys or just the haters. If you don't want to pay full price just get it on game pass. I bought it after I found out how much you can do in the game.

    Decided to make a Metacritic Account just to post this review, because I sincerely believe Starfield is the game of the decade. The criticisms are all nonsense. This is a wonderful Bethesda RPG, and one of the most engaging, cinematic experiences ever produced. Pick it up for yourself and see what I mean.

    What a great game. Anyone with a negative review is either a troll, has installed the game on a HDD and not an SSD as is required, or is running the game under minimum spec.

    classic Bethesda fun, really brings me back to playing their games while growing up. 10/10 would recommend. I am loving the game.

    War, War Never Changes. The Sonyites attacked the PC Master Race in glorious fashion, as is their right, and they defended themselves in kind, but ultimately, it was all meaningless, because there is never justification for War, or hate, and in the end, War Never Changes, countless bodies pile up, the old turns to new, the new turns to old, and history always repeats itself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. É a Bethesda mostrando o quê ela sabe fazer de melhor só que em uma escala universal. Esse jogo já me prendeu por mais de 40 horas mas ainda sinto que falta, e muito, a ser explorado nesse universo gigantesco e cheio de possibilidades. O nível de detalhes em qualquer lugar que você chegue para explorar, os diálogos dentro das missões que parecem nunca se repetir, o nível de interação com o cenário, as batalhas espaciais, aquele combate espetacular, as personalizações quase infinitas do personagem, da nave e do combate... São tão pontos positivos dentro desse universo que eu gastaria pelo as 5000 mil letras e não seriam suficientes pra descrever como esse jogo é GRANDIOSO, a Bethesda se superior novamente e nos trouxe um RPG com um nível de imersão que só havia sido visto em SKYRIM, só que agora em uma escala universal com tantas possibilidades que não pode ser zerado apenas uma vez o New Game+ é praticamente obrigatório para qualquer um que jogar, as possibilidades de persuasão, de combate, a exploração, as missões secundárias, as decisões dentro do jogo (que realmente alteram o quê vai acontecer) são só alguns dos recursos que impedem esse jogo de ficar monótono Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Só tenho a lamentar por todos esses haters de Starfield nos comentários. O jogo é imenso, detalhado e divertido. Quanto mais vc joga, mais vc quer continuar naquele universo, explorando, criando entreposto, ajudando os npcs daquele universo e até esquece das Quests principais. Olha o tamanho dessa área desse planeta e vc pensa "caralho, tem mais uma porrada de galáxia que eu nem fui ainda". Starfield é o maior jogo que já tive o prazer de jogar e pra vc que gosta de falar mal do jogo, só resta falar mal mesmo, pq a grande maioria vai lá, joga e percebe que tudo que vcs estão propagando são asneiras. Starfield é gigante Expand

    It’s very clear that many of the negative reviews left here are from bot accounts and/or people who have not yet played the game. Starfield has far surpassed my expectations. I have already played over 30 hours and have enjoyed every second. Starfield is definitely a slow burn and takes a few hours to build up. However, when it does build up, it is a masterpiece.

    I was thinking to give this game an 8 due to a few gripes I have on dated mechanics and clunky gameplay and repetitive tasks in certain areas. That said, I start at 10 purely to offset the stupid review bombing. If I think about how I've felt with the game since I early accessed it and put in 40 hours so far, I can say that I look forward to each each time I sit down to play.

If I think about how I've felt with the game since I early accessed it and put in 40 hours so far, I can say that I look forward to each each time I sit down to play. All the things that go right for the game far outweigh the negatives to me. I own probably over 100 RPGs, and this one really makes space exploration fun. In the beginning I found myself latching onto a side quest that took me 5 hours before I returned to the main mission. I just kept meeting new elements to interact with and had like 3 random events that fed organically enough into each other that I kept exploring. Some items get repetitive after a few dozen hours, but the core concept of "giant space opera RPG exploration" does it well. This is what I've wanted ever since watching 2001 A Space Odyssey. I can understand how someone could give this game a 6/7 for average comparison to other games...but this game has far to much work put into it to make anything below that. Expand

    What people need to understand about the reviews here:

    1 or 2 star - You can pretty much discount most of these. It’s review bombing, plain and simple. Even if you don’t like the game, this can’t possibly be an honest opinion. Any rational person knows the game isn’t anywhere near that bad. Why are people doing this? Many people are still bitter about Starfield not coming out on

    1 or 2 star - You can pretty much discount most of these. It’s review bombing, plain and simple. Even if you don’t like the game, this can’t possibly be an honest opinion. Any rational person knows the game isn’t anywhere near that bad.

    Why are people doing this? Many people are still bitter about Starfield not coming out on PlayStation and they love to see things fail. It’s petty and predictable. The mid reviews are probably mostly legit. Among these are veteran gamers that expect amazing things from new games. These people generally have a very critical eye and see flaws before fun. That’s fine and I totally understand where they’re coming from. That being said, many had the wrong expectations like expecting a fully fledged space sim, which this was never promised to be. Another criticism are the loading screens (which are mere seconds by the way), which for anyone actually familiar with creation engine games knows is standard. I wonder how people can claim to have loved Skyrim and the Fallouts and then act like they are surprised and annoyed about this. The great reviews are from those that are genuinely having fun with the game. They’re from those who always loved Bethesda RPGs by and had healthy expectations for the game. 10/10 doesn’t mean perfect, but it does mean that people are having a 10/10 experience. My advice to anyone who wants to enjoy this: Enjoy it for exactly what it is: A highly polished Bethesda RPG set in space with a solid story, fun side quests and great activities. Immerse yourself in the world and leave your 2023 cynicism behind. Games are about escapism. Have fun!

    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.
