    Amazing game. Very huge. So many planets to explore. The ship building and flying is satisfying

    oversized open world game, the excessive realism is overwhelming for the gamer that dont have enough daily time to play for hours, I would like to thank AMD for the impresive performance delived by FSR2 on the RTX 3080Ti laptop and lookng forward to receive FSR3 update

    The game is just amazing.

    Bethesda has made a breakthrough in the industry. Everything is perfect in this game, a large number of various quests, exploration of the open world, a feeling of the endless emptiness of space.

    Of the shortcomings, only the main plot, as well as the beginning of the game, can be noted. It can ruin your entire gaming experience.

    Bethesda has knocked it out of the park with this sci-fi adventure. They put a lot of care and passion into this game.

    I think this game deserves a 10. I have about 20 hours in so far, it's amazing that there is so much in this game to do. Seeing what people discover and talk about online makes me realize how little I've even done yet. Very surprised to see the user score so low, feels like it's just something for people to complain about. Virtually no bugs for me, and my first foray into a Bethesda game.I think this game deserves a 10. I have about 20 hours in so far, it's amazing that there is so much in this game to do.

    This game is awesome. It is fun, it looks good, and it runs fine (on decent hardware). Anyone who states differently is a PS owner or someone driven by pure malice.

    Easily the best game Bethesda has done, especially the New Game+....I would even say the game doesn't even really open up till New Game++. The lack of tutorials, occasional bugs like hard crashing, and horrible UI make this a imperfect game that wont win GOTY like a Baldurs Gate 3.

    But considering I played BG3,D4,FF16, and Zelda this year, I'm still easily putting more time into this. I

    But considering I played BG3,D4,FF16, and Zelda this year, I'm still easily putting more time into this. I already have about 80 hours and I'm barely scratching the surface. The gunplay is done really well, and the ship building is the best part of the game IMO. Once you get a grasp of it, the game opens up immensely.

    First the discussion around Starfield has been full of bad actors and bad faith. Is this game perfect? Of course not, no game is. Are there valid criticisms? Of course. But at the end of the day if you continue to come back and look forward to playing it then it is a good game.

Bethesda has taken everything they have learned from their previous RPG's and refined it in Starfield. The level of Role-Play available is great. The sheer amount of quests and things to find is great. Planet exploration could have been handled better. Maybe cut the number of planets to add more unique things to those remaining planets? I know they are going for a more "realistic" depiction of space. Which in fact has mostly barren rock/ice planets. But I recognize it can be tedious. Starfield has the best gunplay of any Bethesda game. All these assumptions that some people had the game would be. Has no one learned from Cyberpunk? Excepting too much from a game will always end in disappointment. Can we pull back, take a breath, and be fair to the game? Expand

    I can't stop playing this game! It's one of the best RPG games I've ever played. I always wanted a Cowboy Bebop style game and my dreams came true. The level and sound design is very good. See you space cowboy.

There is so much to do in the game, it's a great exploration and adventure game, not a space sim and seamless one for sure, but that is a great rpg that takes the best from elder scrolls, fallout and mass effect.

    Amazing game. From planetary exploration, to infiltrating raider space ships, to keeping the peace in the wild west, to living fast in the corrupt criminal underbelly, and much more, Starfield is a love letter from Bethesda.

    It's not a game to play only for 5-6 hours... the more you play, the more it catches you.

    This is the best Bethesda game I've ever played. All year I've been looking for an open world game that allows me to loot and do whatever I want.Starfield and BG3 are the best RPG I've touched in a very long time. The graphic and lighting are one a whole different level from Bethesda. I ran into so many different adventures. And the action is fire.

    We can't let starfield get review bombed, bethesda has poured so much time and money into this game that it's quite frankly awful that people would give it 0 out of 10.

Final fantasy 16 escaped review bombing earlier this year, it has a score of 8.1. Let's let that be starfield. Expand

    Good game, nothing innovative or revolutionnary:
    It really is Skyrim in space.
    Gameplay looks and feels better than what we saw during gameplay trailers/teasers, lots of possiblities. Story is not fantastic or bad, it's mid. Quest design, HUD, game engine, RPG aspects of the game look outdated. Optimization wise, it's bad.. can't even hold 60fps on a 3070 w/ ryzen 7 5800X on

    That's what the game feels like.. a Starfield game template for modders to cleanse the game from bugs, crashes and all kind of problem.

    Would not recommend buying at full price, just get gamepass for a month..

    I played 40hours and I already know that it will be the first game, since Skyrim (2011), in which I'll play at least 300h.

    I spent 40hours exploring planets and discovering this amazing game. If you loved skyrim and elite dangerous Odyssey, then this game is made for you. Do not listen to any critics, just try it. For those who liked Skyrim and or fallout then it a really good game.

    For those who expect it to be a space sim, then just learn to read and listen to what people said when presenting the game. It was never supposed to be space sim.

    I'm loving it and you should give it a try.

    There's a lot of flaws in space in Starfield. But that does not prevent me from exploring our galaxy again and again.

    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.
