    Starfield is an occupied game and Microsoft once again proved its rank is lower than Sony and Bethesda studio lost its credibility among players. This game is full of bugs and these failures affect the process of game experience. All NPCs are very artificial and do not convey any emotion

    The game isnt worth your money and time
    Too many bugs,graphics from like 2010,story is very boring and repetative. In all Bethesda delivered an unfinished and un polished product.Shame on you Todd and Bethesda for all the bad marketing lies..

    I have played on a very high-end PC and had a lot of problems with the game. I have had several bugs that have made the game experience was not satisfactory, we know that Bethesda is a studio that does not optimize games well. I was excited about the game but I felt like I was playing a Skyrim mixed with FallOut in space. Very empty planets, NPCs that left a lot to be desired.

    Poor performance / Low FPS and frequent crashes.

    I have a PC with considerable specs, and even though the game recommends playing on low settings, I still experience low FPS rates, fluctuating between 20-35. Moreover, the game frequently crashes, especially during NPC dialogues, and if you forgot to quicksave or the game didn't autosave, it's goodbye to all the progress in that part.

Anyway, maybe in 6 months or a year from now, I'll try playing it again and change my rating. It's even embarrassing to see many websites suggesting a huge Mod List at launch to fix or at least make the game somewhat playable.

    generic looter shooter and souless rpg where space, the ship and planets are visual or cosmetic rather than actual fleshed out content. Next gen was marketed, next gen pricing was applied but last gen content was delivered. More time spent in loadingscreens, inventory management and fast travel menu's than actual engaging ship and exploration gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 50 hours of gameplay:

    Starefield: The facial animation is outdated. The Gaming engine is outdated. -1
    The main quest is super generic except one mission - entangled. -1
    The ending is generic and unexciting. -1
    Tons of items to pick up but your inventory is always full, even with full inventory space upgrade. -1
    There are only 10 types of gun in the game. -1
    Fraction quests are okay. I will give them that. not as good as those in oblivion. +1
    1000 planets but most of them are vast but empty. Nothing much to do. -1
    I dont see any megaboss on a planet, the wow factor is missing during my exploration.
    Tons of bugs. NPC glitching in and out. -1
    Endless loading screen. I swear 10% of my total playthrough time are just me sitting here waiting the game to load. -1
    There are only 4 romance option. Main Companions are annoying and boring. They left you if you steal and do pirate stuffs. Sam coe is okay solely because of the Adam jensen voice actor. -1
    The major capital city like new atlantis feels so small. Every big company are just conveniently packed in the same building in neon. -1
    Many repeated content. They have the audacity to use the dungeon( the lab) with exact same layout twice in the main questline. -1

    The game feels very outdated and very restricting. There's almost no reason to be in space and the gathering is so lazily designed that instead of actual rocks to mine they just look like little pimples on scattered about. Deceptive marketing was used to promote this game. They were selective with their review copies to make sure only those who would rate it positive got one.

    I see a lot of cope coming from the bethesda fan boys. They keep saying things like "if you like bethesda games you are going to like this game, it is just like skyrim or fallout." That couldn't be any further from the truth. This is nothing like any of the bethesda games. If i didn't know this was a bethesda game I would of never guessed.

This is nothing like any of the bethesda games. If i didn't know this was a bethesda game I would of never guessed. You literally have no freedom of choice. Meaning your choices do not matter at all. There is no real space exploration. The characters, the dialogue and the story is horribly boring and uninteresting. The combat is atrocious. You have to fast travel everywhere. You spend most of your time in menus. The A.I. in this game is horrible. Literally everything about this game is so bad. A lot of people saying this game is being "Review Bombed". That is just a term made by corporations to silence the truth. People do not like this game and the fact that the review score from the critics is so vastly different than the peoples score is evidence that critics dont have integrity or they just dont know what a good game is. It's not "review bombing" to not like something. The whole point of criticism is to help improve things and we have every right to hate something just like you have the right to love it. Feelings aside this game is objectively bad and is the worst game Bethesda has ever made. These game developers clearly hate us. They don't care about our feedback and will just keep making awful games and unintelligent people will keep lining up to eat the slop.… Expand

    First, you need really good pc to play this game. This game is not optimized well. I already experienced few bugs like NPCs falling through the floor. Walking through the walls.

Its cities are way less impressive than cyberpunk which is now 2 or 3 years old, the no man's sky type exploration is a joke, its not a good FPS neither, the main plot is like a bad Mass Effect remake, the game is 10 years behind the facial expression and the whole character animation is archaic and Bethesda should really adress this problem at once. The dialogues options are so blend and the characters so not convincing, graphics are inequals, loading screens in 2023...No maps, over 1k planets but nothing to do (they rely on their modding community to do all the work in that department). NO FKIN AMMUNITIONS. no meaningful choices. The whole game is boring and the inventory is the worst. The game consists in : go to my ship through the same animation, loading screen then select a system another loading screen and animation, then select a planet, same loading and animation, then select a landing zone (generally two or three if you're lucky but you won't have any chance to enter atmosphere manually its all animated) so its a fake exploration, you can even not spend anytime into space and just fast travelling. Lots of bugs contrary to what has been said. Persuasion system is basic, RPG components are basics. Character creation is ok. NPC display the same behavior since Oblivion that has been subject of constant mockery but doesnt seem to bother Bethesda since decades, nothing is explained on the game but its not like if it was Elden Ring as in meant to be opaque because you have to discover for yourself and that it is rewarding, here its just lazy and confusing. The ammunition system is a joke i can'"t even play with the weapons i'd like because i never have ammunition for it. New Atlantis is UGLY as f. I heard the game get good after 15 hours lol which is never a good sign and even then it got slightly better it still was a major disappointment to me.… Expand

    A lot of hype for a game that could have been made 10 years ago. Very disappointed in Bethesda ! Feels like we have been scammed, they sold us a recycled game.
    Hopefully this flop teach them something and they will finally change their engines and stop copy paste their games in the future

    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.
