    A true Bethesda generational game. Lots of fun, surprises, and crazy missions.

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    Bethesda can't keep feeding us the same safe story and outdated engine over and over and expect to actually end up with anything innovative.

    This is not skyrim in space, it is oblivion in space. Once you understand that your expectations will be set. This game is very inconsistent. To start several aspects of the game are 10/10, including the art direction, textures, absolute depth of content, sound (and voices), music and atmosphere. The music is superb and the artists did a phenomenal job creating a NASAPunk art style.This is not skyrim in space, it is oblivion in space. Once you understand that your expectations will be set.

The music is superb and the artists did a phenomenal job creating a NASAPunk art style.
    However, the game is extremely lazy and incompetent when it comes to other aspects, close to 3/10. This includes the story which is in my opinion 0/10 and the world building and level design. There IS SO MUCH that can be done in space, but the combat is barely different from fallout 4/76. Every conversation with NPCs results in a fetch quest. I s*it you not, in 1 hour in new atlantis I stumbled upon 5 different fetch quests including getting a coffee for a Janitor. What in the actual crap is this? The writers of this game are absolutely incompetent, it feels like a clone of the previous games writing-wise. And the role-playing aspects aren't improved upon since Fallout 3. In fact in FO3 you could role-play more effectively. The quest designers and writers need to be FIRED. The UI design IS ATROCIOUS. It gives me anxiety.
    Finally as always, this game will be endless with mods. Mods will find creativity that bethesda writers and game designers don't have    … Expand

    Un juego anclado en el pasado tanto gráfica como jugablemente. Historia sosa, personajes sin gracia y lleno de bugs como todo juego de Bethesda. El universo abierto que prometieron no le llega ni a la suela de los zapatos a juegos como no mans sky, lo único que se salva es la iluminación.

    Nothing innovative. Copied formulas from decades old games. The first day or two of this game is boring as hell. You start to realize there's nothing actually great about this game. Illusion of choice (yes or no) dialogue. BG3 is the game of our generation and that development team took the time to give us choices in how we play and talk.

BG3 is the game of our generation and that development team took the time to give us choices in how we play and talk. Speaking of, you can have dialogue with every NPC.

    I wanted to like this game. But it's MID. No amount of Xbots can change the course of history. Multiple high-budget game this year under the Bethesda banner leaving Microsoft holding the Bethesda bag.

    Todd Howard should be ashamed of himself and his career. They gave us nothing new. Old engine, old crafting style, old dialogue system, outdated ui, outdated inventory, outdated graphics, outdated as hell combat gameplay, typical outdated crappy Ai npc, and more loading screens than I have ever seen.

    They could have cared, I mean so many fkn years spent developing this game. Were they actually working on Starfield? Where did their budget actually go?
    Imagine being a Destiny player and fed up with the NeverChanging seasons. Mid after mid after mid.
    That's how it feels to pick up and play Starfield.

    Who develops a game where the first 15 hours are absolute **** boring, and tedious?

    The only thing I love about this game is that on PC I can toggle Command Mode and remove the self-destructive Weight Capacity mechanic.

    The saddest thing about this entire situation is this-
    Xbox owners have been getting spoonfed games that have been marketed as great for so long that they no longer recognize what makes a game great. So while the rest of the world got to play amazing games like BG3, God of War, Last of Us, (games that pushed the bar for story, graphics, and game design) they were too busy drooling over the likes of Redfall and Starflop.

    No amount of pop-up review sites being given advance copies and $50 can change the fact that this game is 20 years old in design with a half-assed paint job.

    Now I see why Microsoft gave this game away.    … Expand

    Playing on PC and while the game can look very nice in some spots, I have encountered some pretty serious performance issues. Specifically the framerate. My hardware is better than the minimum requirements and I am still getting very noticeable frame drops even with everything turned on Low.

My hardware is better than the minimum requirements and I am still getting very noticeable frame drops even with everything turned on Low. I have an Nvidia RTX graphics card and can't help but wonder why DLSS is not an option. I know my computer is up to the task because I can run games like Jedi Survivor and RDR2 perfectly fine at High settings and get over 60 fps consistently while Starfield struggles to stay above 30. I think this shows that optimization for PC has taken a backseat and I don't want to wait for an update somewhere down the line that makes the game playable.… Expand

    At first, I thought the game was tedious and too complicated with all of its new mechanics but I decided to give it a couple more hours to see what the game is truly about.

    Sure, no game is perfect, and I've noticed a few minor issues here and there, but they don't take away from the overall fantastic experience. I can't help but wonder why some players are being so harsh in their ratings. Starfield is a space odyssey I've been waiting for, and it's delivering more than I expected

Un juego base excelente que da para que los modders alarguen la experiencia! Técnicamente el motor es muy parecido a Fallout pero es entendible por la cantidad de cosas y detalles, pero es mejorable algunas texturas de plantas. Las historias hacen que te pierdas en el universo, sin embargo fue algo abrumante de tantas cosas que puedes hacer y tantas mecánicas, incluso para mí que soy un jugador veterano de Bethesda.

    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.

    Bethesda has finally landed another hit. Starfield is the space RPG epic we’ve been wanting for so long.

    I agree with the critic reviews. This game is fantastic! What I like best is that Bethesda lets you play however you’d like. You want to be a space pirate? Go for it. You want to be an explorer? Explore to your heart’s content. You feel like being a chef? You can do that too. This game has endless possibilities and I love that. Overall 10/10 and my personal GOTY.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing Starfield for a few days now, put in about 10 hours worth of time. I have to say from what I played it has delivered pretty well as to my expectations. The beginning of the game starts off well and builds the story pretty quickly. The combat in space is pretty decent. There could be improvements, however the game is massive. I overall see myself playing this as much as I played fallout 4 in the past. The modding scene for this game will more than likely be massive.… Expand

    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.
