    Boring compared to what was promised. Yet again Todd promises a lot and we get a standard Bethesda.

    Loving the game, works great on my PC and I think it will provide many hours of fun like Fallout and Skyrim did. It's a space adventure, not meant to be a space sim as some uninformed people think.

    Haven't had this much fun with a rpg in a long time. What I especially like is the attention to detail. Seriously, whoever was in charge of the design should get a raise.

    It throws you in the deep end of a very deep pool and does a great job of letting you play the way you want. I had over 16 hours in before even starting the main quest. The modding community are already popping off, a 9/10 for me but giving it 10 because of the review bombing gremlins.

    PlayStation players can't stop crying about the amazing game that Starfield is, they did this with Tears of the Kingdom and Elden Ring but it will never take away that pain.

    Starfield is a game you can create your own story, you can be a mercenary, pírate, hero, Explorer, Police. Anything you want is posible. This is the game of the game of the generation not for the score but for the amount of hours and days People will be ejoying it. 10/10 for me

    This game is just a masterpiece, so much to do, can't wait until all mods will be out!!
    I feel very sorry for the ppl who gave Starfield a zero. They must be very sad and have a lonely life and next to that, they are full of hate, not a good combination to grow old. But it does not seem to matter. I'm having a great time with Starfield, just play it slowly, no rush.

    Brilliant game! Wasn’t sure I could have the same experience as when I put 200 hours into Skyrim but I’m 30 hours in and can’t put it down. I had purchased God of War recently which I also thought was very good but it won’t get touched now for a long time. There are a few little bugs etc but pretty sure they will get ironed out but Starfield is an immensely satisfying experience.

    Sensational game, graphics and setting are excellent, details of items in inventories and weapons. He took very good care of the ships too. It's a classic Bethesda RPG, not a game for everyone. For me it's 10 for the immersion it provides to the player!

    The most important thing is to start - this is a great game, one of a kind. I've seen a lot of hate towards this game with complaints like "flying in this game is not like in space simulators", "In this game you can't manually land like in "No man's sky", "In this game shooting is not like in doom" etc. that is, claims that in a huge RPG game its individual elements are not at the sameThe most important thing is to start - this is a great game, one of a kind. I've seen a lot of hate towards this game with complaints like "flying in this game is not like in space simulators", "In this game you can't manually land like in "No man's sky", "In this game shooting is not like in doom" etc. that is, claims that in a huge RPG game its individual elements are not at the same level as in the best highly specialized games, where in fact there is practically nothing else besides these mechanics.
    Another common complaint I heard was "The game world is empty procedurally generated garbage". Seriously? Does this really need to be explained? For 5-6 years, any development team can physically work out a map (so that it is filled with interesting activities per square meter) approximately the size of Skyrim or Fallout 4 - this is 9-15 square kilometers, since people's time and forces are not unlimited. In Starfield, we don’t have a single map like in Skyrim or F4, but there are planets, it turns out that a conditional map of 15 square kilometers is divided into zones, these zones are separate well-designed planets, it’s easy to count them in the game, it won’t be so a lot of.
    Everything else (1000 planets) is just an entourage with procedural generation and the illusion of an infinite space, so that there is no dissonance like in the same Mass Effects, where there were conditional 4-5 planets (just the same ordinary limited locations) and that's it, nowhere else even theoretically you can't fly.
    So did anyone seriously expect the game will have 1,000 hand-crafted planets?
    Do I need to say that all these claims look absolutely stupid and childish? People came up with a dream game that no one promised them - A huge RPG with 1000 hand-crafted planets, Star Citizen, No Man's Sky and DOOM in one bottle, and when they didn't get it, they accused the developers of lying and labeled the game as a failure ... probably forgetting that only Star Citizen (in which, by the way, there is practically nothing else besides good space flights and resource collection) has been developed for 13 years and has not yet been released ... That's the essence of the absurdity - people demanded that Bethesda make a dream game in 6 years, which actually takes 5000 years to develop...
    Returning to the game itself, I can safely say that this is the most ambitious and incredible project from Bethesda, in which almost all aspects and mechanics have been improved compared to their previous games, which in turn were masterpieces and improved radically - graphics, lighting, animations, physics and facial animations - all of this has been taken to a whole new level. The style of the game, all those dashboards, computers, buttons and switches, is pure ecstasy for fans of science fiction. And this is only talking about the visual part, and in addition to this, you will also find a huge RPG game with exciting quests and many additional mechanics, such as building your own ships and outposts. This game is very meditative, unhurried, in which a huge emphasis is placed on immersion and getting aesthetic pleasure from the very stay in this world, and if you like games like RDR 2 or Death Stranding, you will definitely like Starfield, although they are different in genre games, but in spirit they are very close.
    Starfield is an amazing game, the best Bethesda game so far and yes it's not perfect, but show me the perfect game without flaws, the answer is simple, games like this just don't exist in our world.    … Expand

    Outdated game that look like it could launch on late X360/early XOne consoles. Literally no excuse for it being 30 fps. Everything is limited, there's no promised freedom. It's a sad joke, not a "game of the generation". Overhyped trash.

    Anyway this game is a typical Bethesda game. There are a bit of jank and can do with more optimisation. But the gameplay is fun, and the Bethesda RPG elements are all present and it is a game that I can engage in for hours and enjoy it.

    Should there be more bug fix? Definitely. Should there be more optimisation? Yes. Will Mods make the game better and allow players to play in the game they want? O man, will they ever.

    So for now it is a solid 8/10. And once the mod is fully out and the game is further optimised and bug fixed, it should be a solid 9/10.

    And for those who think (or pretend to think) that this is a space sim instead of a space cowboy RPG (if you argue that this is RPG lite I will grant you the point), you really need to go rinse your ear and learn to read and listen.    … Expand

    No spoiler review other than how the game is supposed to be structured (if you should focus on main quest or sidequests). Contains things discussed prior to release.

    First things first: this game is a "textbook critic 8.5" but really a 7.5/10, so why a 9/10? Simple: people complaining about performance issues, haters and people who were mislead. People who were mislead, you ask? Yes:    No spoiler review other than how the game is supposed to be structured (if you should focus on main quest or sidequests).

    First things first: this game is a "textbook critic 8.5" but really a 7.5/10, so why a 9/10? Simple: people complaining about performance issues, haters and people who were mislead.

    People who were mislead, you ask? Yes: one, by Bethesda Game Studios with vague statements about exploration, handcrafted content (this one took everyone by surprise) and, surprise yourselves too: reviewers who gave it a 10/10 after claiming the first thing you should do is NG+.
    I truly think there is NO procedural generation and they truly only meant it was procedurally generated terrains, which is another misleading statement.

    YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING IF YOU GO FOR NG+! More than enough reason to *ignore* every other single side quest, except a few for resources and credits. And, if you get to the final main quest mission you will realize you should have done more sidequests, saved that world and explored your first regular save more, THEN went to NG+, and go empty handed at a higher level to "finish the game". And this is coming from someone who plans to NG+ in stealth until I'm level 150, and then I will settle.

    Just why, you may ask: well, so much for "the most handcrafted content of any Bethesda game". You may find the same caves and outposts over and over which makes absolutely 0 sense, specially when searching for the "main quest items". Makes 0 sense for a game developed for more than 5-7 years. Same as the infinitely small number of weapons or communications (phones, anyone?) for no reason at all, although I confess interplanetary calls might have been too sci-fi.

    Besides, the good things:
    - This truly is one of the biggest RPGs of all time, only put to shame by Baldur's Gate 3.
    - There always is something to do and while yes, most "Activities" (tertiary sidequests?) are a chore there's some which - Great characters, great villains, great stories
    - Choices REALLY matter. Until, y'know, NG+.
    - Combat is unironically fun and not annoying, kinda easy where it needs too, too spongey where it should have not been
    - Outposts and ship building are REALLY good. Just remember to also do some sidequests to get a lot of credits, mainly the faction ones.
    - Exploration truly isn't that bad until you do it enough times to find the same layouts over and over.

    And no, it doesn't excel at anything except for physics without dropping below 30fps, which is unironically incredible. Everything is an 8.5/9 shadowed by the nonsense that is NG+ and lack of good procedural content (I think they only procedurally generate terrain, not layouts... incredible) when they could have justified "going back" pretty easily. They had the opportunity to excel there, and you will see the insanely missed opportunity.

    So yes, my review should be an 8, but just to compensate haters, trolls and people with underperfoming PCs I'm sorry little ones, but I have to do this...    … 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.
