    If you really need to scratch an itch and play a future type game with spaceships, and want to do it for almost no money, then play it via gamepass. Do NOT BUY the game.

    As for RPG style, choices and graphics.... this is a 0 out of 10. Graphics (environment), NPC faces, animations, etc are absolutely last gen or worse. Think Xbox360 at worst and bad Xbox One at best. Textures on people, ships and building can look really good. Just don't expect the foliage or people to look that way. Don't get me started on the constant loading for everything you do.
    Any choices you think you have, think again. NO choices affect anything. Your skill choices and your actual actions that you think may affect dialogues or quests NEVER affect anything. Don't believe me and want proof, search for the MarcoStyle youtuber, as he explains what is happening. I don't have a youtube channel or the time for that. Factor in the insane bugs, think Cyberpunk 2077 release, except we know that that game was released 2 yrs too early and Starfield was given almost an EXTRA year to polish this junk.
    Overall, this game rates higher than a zero because they *could* fix the bugs and maybe improve textures and I really liked the ships, despite not being able to use them like I thought I would.    … Expand

    It is enough to read the false reviews of all the Sony fanboys and understand that the game is really great. It's very simple if the game was really bad then the Sony fanboys wouldn't bother to bomb the site here.
    Highly recommend the game!

    Felt like I was playing a Bethesda game from 2015, and it didn’t really offer much improvement from then. They are still using an old engine and it shows.

    This game is mediocre for a studio like Bethesda you have people review bombing on both sides. So in all honesty it evens it out on a 5 to 6 what this game is truelly worth, it's not a bad game just not worth the money it is now.

    Starfield is a top game with many systems in place that, if you enjoy base building,, ship building, ship combat, role playing, decisions that matter and influence the course of the galaxy, solid melee and shooting combat etc, then starfield is the game for you.

    This is a very disappointing release from Bethesda. Very early into the game the flaws already start to show very blatantly. The writing is very poor and not engaging at all. I honestly zoned out through half the dialogue, because it was just so devoid of any character or humanity. Every character seems to be a bland, generic cardboard cutout. The gameplay itself is very boring as well.This is a very disappointing release from Bethesda. Very early into the game the flaws already start to show very blatantly.

Enemies are bullet sponges and the guns do not have any weight to them. Then there are the many bugs that people have come to expect from Bethesda. All in all I would not recommend this game. Do yourself a favor and play the old mass effect games, they are so much better. If you do want to try this game out, just get game pass. Don't pay 70 bucks for this, it's barely worth a tenner.… Expand

    Bethesda manages to do worse at each 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.
