    TLDR: OPTIMIZATION SUCKS HARD.....

    its a good game, interesting but the graphics level and fps level is not consistent at all, I remember getting on my GTX1080 20-25 fps on UNREAL ENGINE 5 DEMO SCENE, regarding graphics Starfield is waaaaaay behind of UE 5 level of graphics...

    Un buen juego. Sin más. Ni goty, como dicen algunos, ni el fracaso de 2023, como dicen otros. Es un Fallout de toda la vida, pero en el espacio. Con lo bueno y lo malo de Bethesda.

    I'm at 16 hours game time and still waiting for it to get good as I've been told by so many that it doesn't get good until "Insert however many hours here"
    Pretty sure its a trap. It's never going to get good. They tried this same argument with FF16 earlier in the year.

    "Good for a bethesda game" sure, but that just means its a 10/10 compared to Fallout 76 and a 7/10 compared to good RPG's from other developers.

    Not to mention it's basically unplayable on a Nvidia/Intel rig without mods, And no Todd i don't think I have to upgrade from my 13700k/4080 ROG Strix rig. I think dev's need to stop supporting AMD's terrible solution to DLSS and then blaming the consumer when it doesn't work. This bumps it down from a 7 to a 6 at least for the PC port.

    Starfield is not a bad game. It is however, not super exciting. The visual esthetic is amazing, especially while out in space, but the actual functionality of it all is lacking. The piloting controls of your spacecraft are wonky and not intuitive. The traveling from planet to planet feels insignificant because there is no real navigating or piloting outside of picking a point on a map andStarfield is not a bad game.

The traveling from planet to planet feels insignificant because there is no real navigating or piloting outside of picking a point on a map and clicking Travel. While I was walking around on the surface of a planet, I kept getting stuck in divots that my character couldn't get out of. The combat is familiar in that it feels like a Bethesda game, moreso Fallout than ES. The hook for why we are progressing through the main campaign doesn't really land, and I found myself having to stay motivated to see what happens next. The Constellation group got me excited about exploration...before i actually started "exploring." I am about 5 hours into it, which isn't a LOT, I confess, but it is enough that I should feel engaged with the worlds around me, or care about the direction of the plot, not wondering when it will get exciting. I am gonna keep going because I need to make sure I am not missing something.… Expand

    the main quest line has to be the most uninspiring dull, tedious and horrendously written story i've played yet.. its mostly go here, talk to them, go there, load load load, use menu to travel, load, shoot, talk, sneak, shoot, talk, load, fetch. most of the main story line is talking to people, and then delving into copy and pasted caves and dungeons etc to get the artificats. now.. there are a few great quests thrown in the main story, but by the time it picks up, its over.. theres no expert delivery, leaving you feel impacted by its story, world, characters or events.. theres minimal impact. the dialogue gets so tediously boring, you end up skipping alot of the filler content.. and the main story for 90% of it bored the living life out of me, with how tediously boring it was, paired with the insanely uninspiring and tediously annoying "exploration" system they have.. so even if one quest immersed you into its world, you're then taken straight back out of it, when your only means to travel is through menus and load screens. it doesnt exactly sound like unparrelled freedom and exploration, and is an insane set back in many ways in comparison to their other games. WOW is over 20 years old and you can seemlessly travel its map. this has no excuse. i had hoped the story would pick up and deliver a blow that made the tedious journey worth my time, but by the time i started to feel the build up, it was over with an anti climatic ending.. and a over hyped new game plus that had plenty of promise and potential to its jaw dropping plot twists, but ultimately fell flat as it leads nowhere at all to make any significant difference to your story, other than a few dialogue changes, but plopping you back into its dull world, and terrible story.. at first you have a chance to skip the story in NG+, and at first the new lines of dialogue is fresh.. but it leads nowhere. will i be able to find my old companions in this new world? nah. its a novelty.

    the combat is nothing to shout home about, though its not the worst. its very much fallout 4 on steroids, a lil bit smoother than FO4, and a lil more fluent. the choice of weapons have an abundance of choices to choose from, to suit your gameplay style. although their melee system is horribly bad and out dated, with no improvements from their previous games at all.

    the sidequest is where this game shines, and unfortunately so, as if your side content over shadows your main.. something is wrong.. however, the side content very much out shined the main story, and engages you in quests that very much feel quality wise, 10 folds better than the 7th grade written main plots. i will keep this part short, as i dont want to spoil anything. but get arrested, that quest is one of theee best, regardless on where you choose to branch.

    summary: this game couldve been a genre defining GOTY exclusive, but has ultimately been laid flat,with the countless words being sprung out of petes mouth, that ultimately mis communicated somewhere along the way of what to expect with this game. is this game bad? no.. depends. if youre looking for an immersive flight exploration game, AVOID THIS. if you're looking for fallout in space without much ship exploration manually done.. and you can bare loading screen after loading screen, then this is for you. ive played over 50 hours to form this opinion, and it just aint what we were told it would be. too much promises, and very little delivery, its a beautiful game, and one of the smoother BGS's experiences to date, however with a uninspiring main story, and tedious exploration system that makes starfield fall flat on its face. once youve finished the game once, after 50 hours i feel very little urge to jump back on, instead im going back to star citizen and elite dangerous.. i hope with updates, mods, and the expansion, alot of these issues are resolved. but rn, id say wait for a sale.    … Expand

The game is definitely not a 1-5 rating, nothing it does is absolutely awful, it's just the not much it does is particularly great and many people are disappointed with that and, as usual with the internet, this creates extreme reactions of either massively underrating the game or being defensive and overrating it.

    Many peoples defense of the game is that there is so much you can do, whilst this is definitely true the inevitable retort to that is that not much of it is particularly well done. Whilst a few things Stand out amongst the rest, such as ship building which does have flaws but you may find yourself spending a massive chunk of your time on, much of the game falls flat. Generic and underwhelming combat, uncomfortable uncanny valley NPC interactions making the average voice acting and pretty vanilla personalities feel even worse and a slow to start storyline that you can tell is aiming to make the game feel large but largely falls flat not helped by one of the most strangely implemented fast travel systems I've ever come across? For a game that sold itself partly on the idea of exploration and immersion the decision to give the ability at times to travel from the very deepest part of an enemy lair on an obscure planet in a far out solar system to sometimes the front door of the quest giver on a planet light years away at the touch of a button and one loading screen seems wildly at odds with the experience I thought the developers were trying to create. This leaves one of the key parts of the game, space exploration, navigation and combat feeling quite disjointed and half baked.

    In my 25 hours so far of trying to stick with the game after being repeatedly told it gets better, sometimes rather patronisingly by some more vehement defenders of the game that seem to think people not enjoying the first 12 hours is their problem and that they're somehow not entitled to an opinion until they enjoy the game, my overall experience can be best described as underwhelmed. Starfield feels like it got so lost on offering options that it forgot to make many of them memorable or Unique. Many people pinned some massive hopes on the game and the fact that's it playable and not a terrible experience seems enough for them to very strongly and rather arrogantly defend the game causing people who are dissatisfied or who were overhyped to strongly overreact and over critique the game. Whilst the game may gradually improve and become a better experience thanks to modders I don't feel this should really influence the rating of the game as it's sets a strange precedent for game designers and their decision making, therefore landing the game at 7.5 for me after a slow start that does get better with time and experience.

    Edit: I'm now at the 36 hour mark and I'm done. I tried to stick with it, I tried switching up what I was doing every time I got really bored but the game is just so poorly paced whenever you try following any of the quests and the writing genuinely seems to get worse. It did get a little better in the middle of my experience but then it dropped off even more, I just find myself bored and frustrated so no I know the game is not for me... Dropped my score by one point as I feel if the game were really a 7 I could at least bring myself to finish the main story.    … Expand

    starfield, bethesda's next gen game, the bethesda product with the longest years of development, let's start by talking about the graphics, the first thing that catches the eye, the environments are carefully constructed, with good design and good graphic quality, the character models are ok, not bad enough to bother but certainly far from being good, but now we come to one of the greatstarfield, bethesda's next gen game, the bethesda product with the longest years of development, let's start by talking about the graphics, the first thing that catches the eye, the environments are carefully constructed, with good design and good graphic quality, the character models are ok, not bad enough to bother but certainly far from being good, but now we come to one of the great sore points of the work, the facial animations, the characters are as expressive as a stone, sometimes they are so not very expressive that they become almost disturbing, this low quality ruins the experience, I wasn't able to get attached to anyone and scenes that could have been exciting were only boring or ridiculous, to this we add a complete lack of cutscenes and direction during the dialogues it doesn't improve the situation, the game lacks some graphic details that would serve to increase immersion, which is essential in games like this, the vegetation is poorly made, it doesn't interact with the player or with his actions and in general it's not very convincing , the physics of the water is identical to that of Skyrim and is truly unwatchable, the environmental destructibility is non-existent and the effects are old
    the ai, the enemies are not very reactive and are rarely a real threat and the companions sabotage you by only annoying you,
    shooting in a city will have no repercussions, no one will wonder what is happening and the police will stay still, but if you steal a bowl they will come and give you a fine,
    the shooting does its job, it's a step forward compared to the fallout,
    melee combat, on the other hand, is not satisfying and the spongy nature of the enemies is felt too much
    exploration, perhaps the most controversial thing in the game, the planets are separated by a loading, many are procedurally generated, others are not, the problem is that you find yourself changing planets too often, you spend more time in the menus than in the planets, and even the main planets, in addition to the cities, are essentially plains with some plants and animals but without anything truly unique, at most a few outposts which however reuse the same 2 assets in an almost ridiculous way, space exploration is useless and not very stimulating, you hardly find yourself exploring space and this also makes the creation of the ship superfluous, the game is a continuous rapid journey and loading between one city and another, even small things such as loading to enter internal areas are obsolete today,
    longevity, the strong point of the game, hundreds of planets, quests and a lot of things to do, the problem with Starfield is that it does a lot of things but doesn't do anything really well, I don't see how this game is next gen and I don't understand how Todd Howard can say this game is well optimized on pc, you need a 2080ti to play the game at stable 60 FPS at 1080p, it's ridicolous how such a old game need such a hardware, and the graphics option are terrible, no texture quality, no gamma, no FPS lock, this game is honestly disappointing in almost every way    … Expand

Trying to aim for the head while standing still and the bullets just don't connect? And yes, the opponent wasn't moving either. It's a bit weird. Maybe the reason is on the main problem of this game right now, PERFORMANCE. For me the game is performing very poorly and it's really taking the fun out of it. Smooth/high frame rate is mandatory for a first person shooter. I hope Bethesda has learned from their mistakes and that they are going to fix it, so everyone can enjoy it. It really tries to be a good game, I'd say it's solid 8, but the performance keeps dragging it down for me. Also the fact that every Bethesda game needs mods to make it playable is a joke and a slap to consumers face. Funny haha, but not really.… Expand

A performance mod helped me to play the game with decent framerates. My in-game stats: https://imgur.com/a/vtWKEq6

    Positives:
    - A good role playing sci-fi game with an average main story line. Some of the secondary missions are actually well written and interesting.
    - My familiarity with the previous titles helped a lot.
    - There are a lot of things a player can do, although some of them are quite boring.
    - Ship customization is fantastic.
    - Guns and gun modifications are actually ok.
    - Gunplay is responsive and a huge step forward when compared with the previous titles.
    - Planets and ships look awesome as well as the wildlife.
    - Loot variety is good.
    - Soud design and voice acting is above average.
    - Modding support will provide a long lifespan for Starfield.

    Negatives (Laundry list)
    -The game is not worth that 100 $ price. Wait for a discount.
    - My main issue is with the game difficuilty. At level 40, i was still engaging level 5 spacers in a level 40+ planet. I have started my run with hard difficuilty settings and I was swimming in money and high tier gear sometime after i reached level 20. My character was very strong and i was able to take out even level 50 creatures without any effort. And i did not change my preferred firearm and sidearm since i found it sometime around level 25.
    - Weapons lack a decent balance. Some are over-powered, some are absolutely useless.
    - The world does not scale up with your level. That is unfortunate.
    - Fast travel options and lack of food/water consumption breaks the game immersion. It felt like 2/3 of the space part of the game is scrapped half way during the development.
    - Most of the assets or dungeon designs repeat itself way too much. Same cave, same abandoned mining outpost, same abandoned military out post vice versa with the same loot locations is copy-pasted to the each world (There are hundreds). The game becomes repetitive after some time.
    - The game seriously lacks enemy variety.
    - Some basic features such as jumpjet usage or pickpocketing are locked behind the perk system.
    - 'XP earned' notification at the center of my screen every time i kill an enemy distracts myself way too much. I have disabled it very quickly.
    - UI design is bad. Inventory management is horrible. Mods fix some of the issues.
    - Space combat fails to deliver what i was hoping to see.
    - During one half of my gameplay, i was constantly overloaded. I have modded the carry capacity from 100 to 1000 and the mod solved my problem. I regret the skill points i have invested for more weight carrying capacity. There are some bad design choices here.
    - Outpost building mechanic is half baked. I will give an example, there is no item filtering for your storage containers. Logistics get clogged. Outpost structure placements are seriously bugged. Actually ahrd to do anything with it.

    This is where Bethesda has dropped the ball:
    - Regrettably Bethesda has once again used the archaic 'Creation engine'. If starfield was released in 2010, it would be an awesome game. But in 2023, it looks outdated. With that budget, a better game engine, such as Unreal (Nanite technology) could be licensed.
    - PC gameplay is terribly optimized, or not optimized at all. When compared with other titles out there, such as Cyberpunk, there is no justifiable reason to demand such high PC specs.
    - No FOV slider, had to mod it.
    - Creation engine brings serious limitations of what could be done with the world design, also known as 'Loading screens'.
    - Even a single room shop requires a loading screen. Going to space is a loading screen. Landing is a loading screen. Getting back into the ship is a loading screen. Using an elevator is a loading screen. Opening a door is a loading screen. You get the idea, right?
    - NPC design looks bad, animations are not good either. Regular non-interactable NPC s such as pedestrians looks horrible. Something wrong with the eyes.
    - AI is terrible. Sometimes the enemy you are engaging does not even realize that he is being sniped bullet after bullet. Characters get stuck a lot, pathfinding is not working properly.
    - Dialogue screens are outdated. No meaningful, rich or rewarding NPC interactions either.
    - Sneaking does not work, i have tried and abandoned it very quickly. Reverted to one of the previous savegames to get the skillpoint investment back. Do not bother.
    - Same-gender relationships inside the game presented as something normal (A ring quest).

    What is commented above is my personal experience, your mileage may vary. However i would suggest someone considering a purchase to wait for patches to fix some of the issues and more mods.    … Expand

    Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios' long-awaited space RPG, has finally hit the shelves. Unfortunately, this galactic adventure has left much to be desired, earning a lackluster 6 out of 10.
    The Bad:
    1. Endless Loading Screens: Starfield is plagued by excessively frequent loading screens that disrupt the flow of the game. The frequent interruptions detract from the overall experience.
    2. No Seamless Travel: Despite the vastness of its universe, Starfield fails to deliver seamless travel between planets and space stations. Instead, players are forced to endure more loading screens when traveling between celestial bodies, making the game feel disjointed.
    3. Buggy Mess: Bethesda's reputation for releasing buggy games remains intact with Starfield. The game is riddled with technical issues, ranging from game-breaking bugs to bizarre graphical glitches. These problems are inexcusable for a studio of Bethesda's caliber.
    4. Encumbrance System: Starfield's encumbrance system is frustrating and punitive, making inventory management a chore. It stifles exploration and detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
    5. Missing Maps: Starfield lacks comprehensive maps for its various planets and locations, leaving players feeling lost and disoriented in its sprawling universe. This absence of navigational aids hampers the overall experience.
    6. Missing Vehicles: While the game's universe offers the potential for exciting vehicle-based exploration, Starfield falls short in delivering a variety of vehicles for players to enjoy. This lack of diversity in transportation options limits the sense of adventure.
    The Mediocre:
    1. Ambitious Universe: Starfield's universe is indeed vast and visually impressive. However, it's ultimately a beautiful but hollow shell, lacking the depth and interactivity that would truly make it shine.
    2. Immersive Worldbuilding: While the game's lore and worldbuilding are extensive, they don't make up for the lackluster storytelling and underdeveloped characters. The potential for a rich narrative is squandered in favor of a generic space opera.
    3. Spaceflight Mechanics: While spaceflight controls are serviceable, they lack the depth and challenge that would have made them truly engaging.
    4. Repetitive Side Content: Starfield's side activities quickly become monotonous, offering little in the way of variety or excitement. The universe may be vast, but it often feels empty and devoid of meaningful content.
    In summary, Starfield is a game that promised to be an epic space adventure but falls disappointingly short. The loading screens, lack of seamless travel, and numerous technical issues hinder what could have been an immersive experience. Coupled with a frustrating encumbrance system, missing maps, and a lack of diverse vehicles, Starfield's flaws far outweigh its few redeeming qualities. It's a missed opportunity, and one can't help but feel that Bethesda could have done better. Maybe future patches will fix these problems and make the game, what it should have been to begin with.    … Expand

    The game isn't bad because of pronouns, a natural part of most languages. It's bad because it's empty, with facial animations that stir up the uncanny valley response and voice acting that sounds as though it was generated by artificial intelligence.

    Bethesda can't keep feeding us the same safe story and outdated engine over and over and expect to actually end up with anything innovative.

    Starfield : Es una aventura de ciencia ficción en la que el ser humano a llevando su vida a otros planetas a lo largo y ancho del universo. Comienza en una excavación remota en la que descubrimos un artefacto con el único objetivo de explorar el universo e investigar mas acerca del artefacto.

    1.- No se puede recorrer con total libertad, hay limites establecidos.
    2.- Hay planetas sin contenido, es decir con algunos puntos de interés (Se generan de manera automática) se siente como si no hubiera exploración.
    3.- Las primeras horas se desarrolla bien, aunque se vuelve simple y olvida-ble (Se disfruta no es tan malo).
    4.- Algunas misiones secundarias están bien trabajadas, aun que son muy pocas.
    5.- Algún “NPC” que se encuentra explorando te mandan a ir de un punto A a un punto B, ir a realizar mazmorras (por a si decirlo) a por un determinado botín, se puede eliminar a todo el mundo o puedes terminarlo de manera pacifica, tomas el objeto o lo que te pidieron realizar y vuelves a entregar el objeto en cuestión para cobrar la recompensa.
    6.- El apartado grafico a mejorado bastante (Aunque sigue siendo el mismo motor viejo).
    7.- No tiene nada innovador en cuanto a mecánicas de juego, honestamente ya se han visto en otros juegos.
    8.-Hay vistas maravillosas.
    9.- Crear tu nave esta genial, aunque es muy costoso.
    10.-Hay BUGS …. algunos crasheos no frecuentes.

    12.- Mejoraron el progreso de subir de nivel y otros aspectos (Ya visto en fallout 76).
    13.- Por lo visto los medios (no todos) mencionan maravillas la cual es todo lo contrario.

    Como jugador de varias plataformas, hay que ser honestos el juego tiene una calificación muy alta 86 (PARA LO QUE NOS OFRECE). Debido a los medios que tiene xbox y que (Solamente se dedican a hacer reportajes de dicha plataforma “ESTÁN COMPRADOS ES DECIR, QUE DEBEN DAR BUENA PUNTUACIÓN SI O SI”).

Bethesda desperately needs to put the gamebryo/creation engine into it's grave because it has to be holding them back for a revolutionary game for the last few releases. If no other engine has what you need, make a new one and stop pasting add ons to the old junker one you have. I loved TES and fallout 3 and was ok with fo4. This feels like another lazy release that the modding community is already fixing. I can't wrap my head around the fact that people who make $0 can fix their games.… Expand

    Is it really too much to ask of a game set in space, for it to let the player actually travel through space?

I had high expectations for it, even though I'm not very familiar with Bethesda games, having only played Skyrim in the past, which I found to be a fantastic experience.

    Unfortunately, Starfield has left me feeling bored to the extent that I can't muster the enthusiasm to continue. The game lacks the sense of exploration I was hoping for, and the combat isn't enjoyable. Despite my gaming setup, which includes a Radeon 7900 XTX and an excellent CPU, I've found it to be poorly optimized.

    I'm genuinely perplexed by the praise some people have given this game, labeling it a masterpiece or an outstanding gaming experience. I'd be eager to learn about the other "awesome" games they've played to make such comparisons. I genuinely wish I could derive more enjoyment from this game, but I'm finding it difficult to do so because it falls far below what I consider an acceptable level. While it certainly has some nice details and scenic elements, these aspects alone are not enough for me to rate it any higher than 6/10. It falls short of the mark for what I expect from a game, and I believe it doesn't merit a 4/10 rating, but it still has room for improvement.    … Expand

    Starfield feels and plays just like any other Bethesda Game. Not being able to explore the Planets like it was promised is super dissapoiting.

    pros
    - Good voice acting
    - Pretty Skybox
    - good sidequest

    cons
    - boring exploration
    - Terrible looking Npc
    - Lack of Animals on each Planet
    - Terrible performance for those Graphics.

    As some one who is not a 'PlayStation fanboy', This game is straight up mediocre and at its best its fine. It is nice having a game that me and friend are playing at the same time but experiencing it differently so we're able to help each other and just talk about it but that doesn't save the basic game design at play so just go play Hi-Fi Rush as it is WAY better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ten scores are just as cringe as the zero scores, haters hating and blinkered fans white knighting. It's not a terrible game but definitely not even close to being a ten either. It's a really mediocre effort tbh. The main plot is essentially a fetch quest, the side quests can occasionally be more interesting. The ai is poor and the npcs are wooden and not very memorable. It's typical Bethesda fair. The game and graphics are dated If this came out in 2011 instead of Skyrim for example then yeah this would seem much better. Didn't have any problems running this on the highest settings but yeah even on those settings it looks bad. They really need to ditch this archaic engine and get with UE5 or something more worthy. Not something I will bother finishing.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to start off this review by saying Starfield is a good game and it should be worth checking out on game-pass but it’s outdated game engine and it’s over ambitious world leaves me feeling like I have traveled a vast ocean that was as deep as a puddle. Pros:I liked the base building and the ship customization and the fact that you can shoot down an enemy ship in space and take over their ship gta style , now that was an awesome experience. I love how each planet or moon add their own gravity strength levels. I liked the space combat even though it can be clunking at times. The gun place is a huge improvement from fallout but it’s still not the best gun play experience and can be greatly improved. Cons: the games story is very lack luster and boring. Most of the time you are sent on a boring fetch quest of retrieving these artifacts. Go to this planet and get the artifact. Over and over again no boss battles no interning things. The games story only gets good during the last mission when you are teleporting to other universes but other than that you will be doing the same thing. Another con for this game is you have to look hard to find a good quest through all the boring fetch quest no creativity!! The game feels very old and clunky and character models look terrible. The graphics look average. There’s no real exploration and the game is a loading screen simulator. Even though this was the least buggy Bethesda game I still ran into game breaking bugs that didn’t let me progress some of the quests. What I think they should have done:
    I believe they should get rid of the creation engine.
    I believe they should have lowered the scope of their world. Instead of 1000 planets they should have have like 3 solar systems max and flesh out each of those worlds and made it to where you can land and leave without loading screens. I want to fly around the planet and shoot people from my space ship and bandit camps. The worlds feel empty and dead each planet has the same abandon outpost and the same reskin 7 creatures that do the same thing . The world just doesn’t seem alive even in the main settlements. The city needs life like being able to interact with the environment. Like imagine if you were able to play darts in neons bars or play some arcade machines or gamble or play pool or go to a strip club and have a lap dance or imagine playing a game of basket ball in space with some random npc or have a drone or mini car race or better yet ship races in a huge arena for a crowd of npc to watch. Things like that can really make you feel like you’re part of the world and having npc partake in those things can really make things alive. Why do people compare this game to Skyrim? The only thing this game shares with Skyrim is its engine. Exploration in Starfield is terrible and should not be compared to Skyrim. Skyrim you can go in any direction and find something awesome and unique during your exploration. For example I was just wandering around Skyrim and I stubbed across a talking dog that lead me to some crazy demon quest with some impactful choices and rewarding me with a cool ass weapon. All that from just wandering or seeing something in the distance. Quest are unique and interesting and you had impactful choices. You can’t do that in Starfield sadly. The game needs diversity. I’m tired of fighting the same enemy. I’m tired of fighting a reskin spacer or pirate.THEY ARE THE SAME. I think it was mistake to not introduce other alien race factions. Like imagine real intelligent alien life forms or like maybe add like space zombies or mutants or something unique other than the generic space pirate. Imagine and alone race with their cultures in the game or you can choose an alien race. That would have been cool. There much I think they should add but I’m getting tired of typing so I will leave that there.    … Expand

    If u don’t follow the main story u are lost in this game. Everything that doesn't have relation with that is **** exploration, combat, interaction with npc, bad AI, lots of menus, bad combat in ship, bugs, glitches and performance. Otherwise the main story is good.

    It's a Bethesda game, with all it's glorious glitches and problems. The map is simply atrocious the gun play is at the very least entertaining. There are many, many, MANY sidequests, as always, meaning that you can level up fully and never finish the main quest at all. Not a bad game at all, if you like Bethesda games, more like a solid "meh".

    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.
