    If you love getting lost in Bethesda open worlds, this game has a ton to uncover and explore.

I came into it with middling expectations, and then I spent easily my first 40 hours or so just exploring the first couple of systems, and barely scratched the surface of what they contained. Eventually I had to just accept that this game is so vast, it cannot be explored fully in one playthrough. It is designed to overwhelm you, and to make you feel small. The narrative references all of my favorite classic sci-fi, and it is clearly made for that audience, so if you’re not a sci-fi fan, maybe it’s not for you, but if you are (and you like Bethesda’s style of gameplay and storytelling), then you’re in for something great.

    What they did here is astounding, and only someone who is extremely biased will tell you otherwise.    … Expand

    the game is an 8 out of 10 at launch. I just gave it a 10/10 in order to counter the playstation fanboys.It is nowhere near as good as Baldur's gate 3 but a great game nevertheless.

    I have not had this much fun in a rpg in over 15 years, the story is so well written and it even made me question how i view life and probably changed me forever, so a "life changing experience" isnt out of the question.

    The graphics: They may not be insane high resolution graphics but the way its displayed does wonders, i landed on a moon of a red ringed gas giant, the moon was so close to it, the planet took up 70% of the sky and the rings looked like they was cutting into the horizon, i was so close i could actually see the rings moving! particles of rocks and debris orbiting at unhead of speeds, looked like a saw blade. the lighting does this game extreme justice in most scenarios, its so atmospheric.

    The story: As i said above, the story made me question how i view life, changed my views, and guided me down a healthier path. The ending gives you so much room to build your own opinion, and certain characters have such unique viewpoints on everything, like barret for example, his own words and wisdom helped me in rough times. I cant go into to much detail without spoilers, but certain things happen... and they really....really hit hard, and show you values of life and death without holding any punches. im bewildered to why people are saying its boring and written poorly.

    The gameplay: Exploration in this game is what you would expect from real life exploration most of the time. and i love that! landing on pluto to find a barren lifeless cold world so far away from the sun, mining its resources in extremely low gravity, and finding some abandoned civilian outpost that told a story about "escaping the monotony of life" was all extremely entertaining to me, then landing on some world that really makes you think of world of warcrafts highland fields. invoking extreme nostalgia in me as i explored the brown tall grassed wheat like fields, being chased down by literal fire breathing rock like dragons. even named dragons in the game. the sense of wonder on a weird brain themed planet was also crazy to experience, floating brain creatures and plants that have pulsating meat for bodies. exploration in this game brought out the inner star trek fan in me. i even made my build around surveying and scanning.

    RPG elements: This is indeed a bethesda game, your choice matters, and it changes the game significantly. You will not have the same experience again unless you try to, and even then, random events might change that. There is no shortage of choices and things to side path into. the new game plus adds to this by letting you try again in a more convenient way, for new experiences each time. Cant give it enough praise.

    Sound: I wont lie, the sound is not realistic at all, but i think this is a good thing, would be boring hearing nothing most of the time and muffling on low atmosphere planets. space doesnt really like sound... would be a boring game if it was realistic that way. but the sound design is wonderful! the buzz of strange artifacts to the wildlife on a strange world. There is a lot of variety.

    AI: Now the ai isnt perfect, but name one game where it is, this ai is still miles ahead of previous bethesda games, i saw enemies retreat and spread out on both sides to hit me from all corners when they realized a direct approach wasnt working, i had to actually work my way to a new position to survive. They will still get stuck "taking" cover though, i dont think creation engine will ever fix this... but still, having to change my playstyle to match theirs was something i didnt expect from bethesda, good on them.

    Loot: I was still finding brand new gun models entirely at level 50. There is no shortage on weapons of any kind. Then you have rarities, and perks for them. finding unique items that act way differently than the model normally would. i found myself wanting to keep everything and struggling to pick what to sell. So much choice. it inspired me to change up what build i was going for 4 times!

    Random encounters: I came across a fleet battle where i got to choose the side i wanted, helped out in a insane dogfight frenzy as 2 capital class ships bombarded eachother, after the battle, i received a nearly 3 hour questline to pursue. If this doesnt scream how good bethesda is at random events, i dont know what does.

    Lets address the elephant in the room, just looking at the score of this game screams how obviously split everyone is, its all 0's or 10's. You know what else is obvious? The 0's all say the same crap, they are DEFINITELY sony ponies. dont trust the review bombing, look at the more intricate reviews that are long and filled with splitting information on categories. Those are the people who actually played the game    … Expand

This is one of those games that everyone is talking about and if you don’t experience it, you will miss out on the magic this game has! This is the reason to get gamepass, to buy an Xbox, to put down your childish console wars and be part of a game that will be talked about for years!

    It's ok. It's a betesda RPG. But it's less "skyrim in space" and more "skyrim in a bunch of different maps you can only get to through fast travel menus."

    The game is basically what I expected: an RPG set in space. I really enjoyed the main story. It is a bit slow to start, but it didn't long to hook me into completing it.

    in over 70 hours of game play, I've had one CTD which is pretty amazing for a BGS title. I've had a lot of minor bugs - mostly NPC pathing which has often been hilarious.

    Though I love the game, it does have some faults. The outpost system is pretty powerful, but it ultimately doesn't have much of a purpose in-game outside of making credits. Making credits is important, of course, but I wish it had more impact.    … Expand

The sheer amount and quality of content alone is responsible for most of this score.

    The space aspect of the game is poor. Despite BSGs attempts to be ambitious, the ambition boiled-down to them improving on all the parts that they were already good at. Loading is excessive even compared to previous titles, and you can feel the smoke and mirrors of space flight - to the extent that space feels like a mini game tacked on to Bethesda’s bread and butter.

    And this pattern repeats. Every part of the game that BSG is not typically good at is either mediocre or barely improved on. Outposts, flight, trading, UI, AI, etc, all have you yearning to play other games that do these things better.

    If all parts of the game were of equal quality to the good bits it may even have been a 10, but the smaller parts let down the whole. Ambitiousness is doing something others aren't, and making the same game for 20y 'but Space', then doing the bare minimum for all other parts is not ambitious.

    The game is good and worth playing if you like their previous titles.

    Current progress: NG+ completed most faction quest lines, have close to fully upgraded outposts linked up.    … Expand

The quests are varied and exciting, the storyline is engaging, the companions you meet are captivating, and the soundtrack is perfect and memorable, and the more you play, the more things you'll discover on your own. The negative points I observed do not affect the gameplay, but they can break the player's immersion a little at specific moments, but nothing alarming. If you are willing to delve into a world rich in details, challenges and if you like to read and explore, this game has a lot to offer, but if you are looking for a basic gaming experience and not very challenging and complex, it might be better to avoid Starfield. Finally, I'm loving Starfield, I hope everyone who plays has a lot of fun!… 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.
