    Game runs like **** and the gameplay mid, generic looter shooter. exploration, ship and the planets are visual or cosmetic instead off fleshed out content. next gen marketing and pricing applied but last gen content deliverd.

    I can ignore some typical for Bethesda engine bugs at start because it possibly to fix in future patches.

    They are directly copy and paste story, special skills, most of game mechanics, game engine old poor mechanics from past games like fallout and skyrim BUT they did it badder.

    Its Skyrim without dragons, magic and mystic creatures. (you possible to get cry's like in skyrim)
    Its Fallout 76 with pathetic npc.

    - Endless loading screen - I wonder what will happen first - Bethesda will go bankrupt or change the game engine and hire talented writers and character mimicry designers. - Look up how things should be done in GTA or CyberPunk2077.

    - The cheesy story of the main plot. - Look up how it should be done in Baldur's gate 3.

    - Flat and unmemorable companions. - Sneak peeks at how things should be done in Baldur's gate 3.

    - Cheesy npcs facial expressions. - Look up how to do in Baldur's gate 3.

    - 5 auto-save slots and 1 quick save slot. you can't put 100 and 100 slots. If you didn't do a manual save - you lost the ability to come back. 5 autosaves is 15 minutes of game play. You are living in a single player open world rpg with a goldfish memory like in some roguelike. - Look up how to do it in baldurs gate 3.

    - Why make trash pickable if it's worthless and useless? It just wastes my time to see that it's garbage.

    - Why put the player in front of a choice - to become superhuman and step into the unknown or to remain an ordinary man and not go anywhere. It's a disgusting choice. Just allow in and out. why do it. ugly.

    The text highlights a dilemma faced by players in a game's final stage. They have the option to become a super being and enter the unknown or stay an ordinary person and continue living in the game's universe. However, the text criticizes the game for not clearly indicating that choosing to become a super being means losing all progress, including ships and completed tasks. Additionally, after only 15 minutes of playing in a new game+, the autosave system deletes all previous saves, eliminating the option to remain a normal person. The text argues that the game's development is lackluster, with outdated game engine, limited save options, and the developers disregarding player comfort and convenience.

    Díky Todde! Další masterpiece od Bethesdy, ve kterém si užiji vyšší stovky hodin. Nicméně AI mohlo být trošku lepší... Budu se těšit na DLC, která snad hru ještě více obohatí o nekonečný obsah, do kterého se budu rád roky vracet. It just works!

This game is really a shame in 2023, all these loadings are insane, they made me mad, i cant believe they dare realease it. moreover after baldurs gate 3 this is very painful to play, what a mess geez Expand

    The game is good and interesting, but very outdated. A greedy producer should allocate some money to improve the technology, because it would be a shame to play a powerful idea in such an old shell. Frequent loadings in a game of this type are unacceptable.

    O game contém gráficos incríveis para a atualidade, texturas bem feitas e bonitas, história boa, ambientação incrível, e uma trilha sonora perfeita!
    Muitos hater falam mau do game, mais precisa de pelo menos, 2 horas e meia de gameplay pra realmente gostar!
    A Bethesda trouxe um ótimo game exclusivo para os consoles Xbox.
    Parabéns!

    At the end of the tunnel the truth was revealed, Starfield was only media and paid reviews. The game is incredibly mediocre, from the AI to the scenario design, to the combat mode and the terrible game optimization, this game is not worth half of what it costs, maybe in a year because of the mods and the I developed this polish, but right now I feel like I'm looking at a game from two decades ago

    Videojuego distraído, pero no optimizado para PC. Sin DLSS. El creador del videojuego, dice que compremos máquinas nuevas, en vez de optimizar el juego. Falta de respeto. El juego está en perfecto castellano y es distraído pero no es lo que prometieron. Lo peor del juego y la baja nota es por la pésima optimización.

    My biggest issue is that I find it really boring to play and that is coming from someone who has completed Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4.

    quests are repetitive and uninspired

    poorly optimized

    No space travel

    No weapon modularity
    And more,and more

    Starfield dose nothing special. For a game that is about the future, the tech side is in the past. If you enjoy messy games from bethesda then this will probably be the game for you. For everyone else i HIGHLY suggest staying away from this title.

    Если судить объективно, то в принципе эту игру можно назвать "прорывной" в рамках изданных игр студии, она даже работает (иногда), и вроде даже местами интересна (нет).
    А так, это просто калл, который едят причмокивая фанаты Скайрима.

    l'espace, est un désastre intergalactique à bien des égards. Depuis des années, les fans de jeux de science-fiction attendaient avec impatience le prochain grand titre de Bethesda, mais ce qu'ils ont obtenu est une déception monumentale.

    Tout d'abord, les graphismes de Starfield sont à des années-lumière derrière les normes actuelles. Les environnements manquent cruellement de détails, les textures sont floues et la modélisation des personnages est tout simplement dépassée. On dirait que le jeu aurait pu sortir il y a une décennie, ce qui est inexcusable dans un marché du jeu vidéo aussi compétitif.

    En ce qui concerne l'histoire, Starfield offre une trame narrative insipide et clichée. Vous incarnez un explorateur de l'espace sans personnalité, lancé dans un voyage sans but apparent. Les quêtes se résument généralement à "aller là-bas, tuer ça" ou "ramener ça". Aucune profondeur, aucun enjeu émotionnel, rien pour vous attacher à ce monde insignifiant.

    Le gameplay est une autre déception majeure. Les combats sont lourds, mal équilibrés et manquent de dynamisme. Les mécanismes de tir sont archaïques, donnant l'impression de jouer à un jeu des années 90 plutôt qu'à un titre de nouvelle génération. Les bugs et les problèmes de performance sont également fréquents, ce qui nuit encore plus à l'expérience.

    Enfin, parlons de l'exploration spatiale, qui devrait être le point fort du jeu. Malheureusement, elle est gâchée par une galaxie vide et sans âme. Les planètes se ressemblent toutes, et il n'y a pratiquement aucune activité intéressante à découvrir. L'univers de Starfield est d'une banalité consternante.

    Es un juego en el cual nos prometieron algo muy diferente, continuo uso del viaje rápido, pantallas de cargas, que hablar del motor grafico desfasado y aún así pésima optimización en PC, entre otras cosas, los bugs pueden ir mejorándolos, no es malo, pero tampoco es bueno, en mi humilde opinión merece un 6.

    Starfield is a great game. You can see the years of dedication from Bethesda. I mainly appreciate that it's a single-player game with no multiplayer component. you can do anything! Funny bugs instead of annoying but that's normal for the size of this game.

    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.
