    I could not finish this game. Already uninstalled. The AI is really bad. The facial animations for NPCs pull you right out of the immersion.

    Combat was spongy and unimpactful. The perk system was a huge disappointment. A lot of them are minimal. But some of them are necessary for quality of life within the game. I don't want to grind for perk points just so I can sprint or carry enough weight.

    The voice acting was great. As well as the music. Both 10/10. But the writing is poor. Good actors with bad writing doesn't really help much.

    Supposedly, the story gets much better later in the game. Slow burn. I just can't get engaged enough to make it there. I've already given up.

    I did improve some things using console commands. The mods are interesting. With patches and mods this game will improve. I see a glimmer of hope in there. But I'm rating this based on my current experience. It gets a 0/10 because I uninstalled after just 12 hours.    … Expand

    Tout n'a été que mensonge avec ce jeu. On nous a vendu de l'exploration à gogo. Au final il n'y a rien que des temps de chargements avec un menuing des enfers. Pour le reste la quête principale est d'un ennui mortel, gunfights mous, IA des ennemis aux fraises, PNJ modelisés avec les pieds, aspect RPG négligé, aucun choix impactant, caméra fixe pour les dialogues qui cassent l'immersion,Tout n'a été que mensonge avec ce jeu.

    This is just a failure of the year. The game constantly freezes and crashes. The game is badly optimized. The color filters in the game are poorly chosen. The graphics are also soapy in places. Instead of an open world, we have a loading screen simulator.

    Ughhh, I wanted to love this. Zero out of ten. It's like they took all the boring parts of other games and made a space cocktail of yawns. Loading screens galore—felt more like waiting in line at the DMV than exploring space. The planets? More like blandets—samey and filled with invisible walls. Combat's meh, like Fallout 4 NPCs went to a space costume party. The main quest? Snooze-fest.Ughhh, I wanted to love this. Zero out of ten.

The dialogue is really really weak and cringe most of the time. The water is the worst in the most recent games, there is almost no ripple when you swim or shoot, cyberpunk blows this game out of the water :^).
    Ohh and the bugs, hooooly you can get stuck on starting planet, enemies don't spawn, you can fall out the map when you pick up new weapons, enemies teleport around you when they spawn like police in Cyberpunk. Maybe the modders will be making the game decent over the years...    … Expand

    ZERO innovation, its such a awe-fully uninspiring Fallout 4 reskin its unbelievable. New name for a game with NOTHING NEW.

    Boring loading screen sym. Boring and basic gunplay. Trash AI Absolutely soulless "Teleport from A to B" a thousand times "gameplay". No sense of exploration AT ALL. Everything is instanced and you never discover anything. You just open up your HUD and    ZERO innovation, its such a awe-fully uninspiring Fallout 4 reskin its unbelievable.

    Boring loading screen sym.

    Boring and basic gunplay.

    Trash AI

    Absolutely soulless "Teleport from A to B" a thousand times "gameplay". No sense of exploration AT ALL. Everything is instanced and you never discover anything. You just open up your HUD and places are shown to you or you can pointlessly run around on empty planets.

    Performance is horrible as well. The "ultra" preset sets the scaling to 70%. Let that sync in. I can play Unreal Engine 5 games with 5x the graphics quality with DLSS on quality with almost double the FPS then this with my 2080 Ti. In typical modern games fashion turning down details gives basically nothing in performance. I basically CANT play this game in a reasonable way with 60 FPS.

    Like all the AAA games these does this of course is infested with wokeness as well but you can believe me or not I really do not need to down-rate this game because of this, the game itself is just complete 100% recycling.

    The same boring looting of too much loot, companions just act as annoying packmules. And a utterly annoying way to give them stuff. You first need to talk to them, select the option "can you carry stuff for me" and then you end up in a pointless screen where you AGAIN have to push another button to open your inventory to actually then dig down into the **** UI to select items. Its unacceptable for a PC game in 2023 to be this bad. And this is not some kind if new IP from a indie studio. This is the xth iterations of the same game they already made again and again.

    One of the biggest game studios on the world, bought by M$ but they do not dare to develop a proper PC UI. The UI it total trash, no grid system with a nice overview and drag and drop. Instead a oversized stupid console UI that just makes me want to puke.

    Its kind of mind boggling that they did not even improve ANYTHING and many argue they made it worse. If if this would be "as good as Fallout New Vegas" or some of the titles I actually liked back then I am not down for the game game again and again. I already passed on Fallout 4 because the graphics (style) turned me off and the beginning was so uninspiring and boring and I already felt I played this b4 in better that I just could not make myself play it.

    I do not even know why I had some hope for this game, its on me to think a new game name brings any kind of innovation.    … Expand

    One more game that does not survive the enormous hype with which has been promote it. As a sci-fi fan it has left me totally disappointed. Story without soul, repetitive missions, mediocre game play, empty and lifeless worlds, a huge amount of bugs and horrendous graphics that is unreal how the people justify with the premise that mods will fix it. Not recommendable

    The game feels to outdated. The graphics, the game play, the characters. I'm very disappointed since I have found pretty boring the exploration and the plot-line in general. I have tried Starfield in both PC and Xbox, but the feeling is the same. Not recommended at all

    Starfield feels soulless and heartless. It lacks what made past Bethesda games so great: organic exploration. The story is boring, voice acting is mediocre, and the character faces are embarrassingly bad. And for a space game, Starfield seems to hate the idea of space.

    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.
