    Played the game about 20hrs so far. Will say, its a Bethesda game so minor bugs here and there(some are funny like breakdancing boxes)

    The movement is like fallout 4 but you get a jetpack which helps with mantling onto ledges and stuff. Gunplay is the best Bethesda has been without VATS from fallout. The main story is good but the sidequests... they get insane and make u excited for whats next. I only played about 2 mainquests but have been enjoying the the faction quests a lot and you get good rewards for completing them. The gripes with this game are minimal to me, i kinda dont like the fast traveling but i also dont want to sit in a ship for hours traveling to complete a quest. The game runs well on my series S, barely any frame drops, i crash occasionally but im sure a uodate will fix it. The soundtrack to this game is amazing also. I recommend a playthrough if you like looter shooters and 1st person RPG games. Also they should update the AI and some of the physics as they are kinda stale but either way the game is still pretty fun for me.    … Expand

    If you like Bethesda games(not fallout 76)what are you waiting for? Ship building, base building, good combat, long intuitive quests and a daunting amount of replayability,this is a game you'll be playing for a very long time. Highly recommend.

    As a Fan of Bethesda i may be partial to say that i love this game; but not because of bias; because this game hooked me from the star; i currently have well over 27 hours of playtime and i haven't even scratched the surface of the story; or the exploration. the gunplay is fantastic and has realistic recoil animations; the ship builder is cool as heck. character customization and perkAs a Fan of Bethesda i may be partial to say that i love this game; but not because of bias; because this game hooked me from the star; i currently have well over 27 hours of playtime and i haven't even scratched the surface of the story; or the exploration. the gunplay is fantastic and has realistic recoil animations; the ship builder is cool as heck. character customization and perk variety is cool and the 3 starting traits to shape your personality/effects your gameplay slightly are very cool; i have a companion that is reference to older titles called the adoring fan; showing that Bethesda still knows about their past. what else can i really say except that the game is a classic Bethesda experience with a new skin on it. it's fallout but in space and i'm here for it.

    One more thing. the overwhelming amount of negative reviews confuses the hell out of me. it seems like people went in expecting a completely different game from the one that was announced and promised. if they wanted what No mans sky offered they should play that one. or star citizen. this is a single-player Bethesda game.

    Only rating the game a 9 currently because it didn't launch with mod support on the xbox    … Expand

    The ultimate Bethesda Game. Better combat than Fallout 4, better writing than Oblivion, better exploration and environment storytelling than Skyrim, and a gameworld that feels bigger than Daggerfall.

    yes I admit it has many flaws, but if the game is really interesting, it's not a goty or a 10 game but it's a good game, the title offers a lot of space for exploration at the same time between crafting and missions you can waste many hours on it, for sure the optimization isn't perfect, but I remember games like Gollum, Gotham Knights that came out at full price and didn't even work for a while.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played for a few hours now, I'm not a professional critic, It would be difficult to be impartial for something I really liked, the game is incredible, my PC gamer suffers a little to run, but I believe that correction patches should be released soon, making the game more optimized, there are many loading screens being negative. It doesn't disrupt our experience as gamers that much. Overall it's a good game, with personality, I hope to play for many more hours.… Expand

    Starfield is a great game has a lot of ups and some downs. Love the quests, ship and outpost building, and the feeling of being small in a big world. It also has some downs no underwater swimming, exploration doesn't feel as satisfying as it should in a space exporation game especially in space where you feel so limited. It could be that i've been spoiled by NMS. Overall I think it's worthStarfield is a great game has a lot of ups and some downs.

    If you love Bethesda games this is their best game yet by far. A captivating story with real gut-wrenching consequences. People complain about the borders on the planets map, but from what I have experienced the map on each planet seems much bigger than fallout 4.

    Reading the reviews made me dislike the game, but after that, every time I booted up the game, I found myself having a blast in a through-and-through Bethesda game. Ridiculous expectations from people who don't know Bethesda games are the only reason for mixed reviews.

    Don't expect a vast amount of living planets and some unrealistic No Man's Sky gameplay - no Bethesda went mature.    Reading the reviews made me dislike the game, but after that, every time I booted up the game, I found myself having a blast in a through-and-through Bethesda game. Ridiculous expectations from people who don't know Bethesda games are the only reason for mixed reviews.

    Don't expect a vast amount of living planets and some unrealistic No Man's Sky gameplay - no Bethesda went mature. Think of Mars, barren, some outposts, filled or abandoned, and the occasional cave. It is almost a believable universe. You build an outpost yourself to mine resources to make money, exactly what will happen in real life when we lower the cost of space travel. Exciting for the scientists, explorers, and businessmen, but not for the common folk except for the dreamy earth-like planets that are (meant to be) scarce.

    The only thing I miss is not-so-necessary on-planet mounts. I would have enjoyed riding around for the sake of peace on the righteously barren and boring worlds, as also confirmed by one of the in-game characters to be a true experience for the explorers, although he mentioned he enjoyed walking the barren planets, just like the game offers.

    The game is extremely familiar to Skyrim where I enjoyed exploring the stories and cities the game had to offer while visiting some interesting cities and doing combat with or against the factions presented to you. And just like with Skyrim, If you enter cities or fast travel, there is a loading screen. I laughed when I met a settler on a civilian outpost who started with "I used to be an explorer just like you, but then.. ah that's a too long story." A great reference to the "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee".

    This game doesn't try to be something it is not, it is a beautiful Bethesda game and that is what I expected.

    If you don't like the space context, and if you do but rather play a planet explorer which is quite unrealistic but entertaining in its own way with vibrant planets, don't hate on Starfield - just play No Man's Sky.

    I wanted the best Bethesda game yet, and a place where I could enjoy the dynamics of our own real complex but sometimes simple universe, and these were wonderfully crafted into my favorite game of all time, STARFIELD.    … Expand

    The immensity of this game has completely enthralled me like nothing else. Holding an entire new universe in the palm of my hand is truly breathtaking. With countless stories and narratives to explore, this isn't merely a game; it's an absolute must-have experience. It's important to note that many of the reviews here seem to be misleading and may be intended to harm the overall rating.

    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.
