    Not going to lie here, this is my first ever Bethesda game that I have ever played.

    I could say I put a few hours in fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim But so far I’ve put a total of 70h into this game and already on my second play through. This is truly my favourite RPG game of all time! The graphics are honestly astonishing! Don’t know why there are a lot of negatives reviews about it. With me
    Not going to lie here, this is my first ever Bethesda game that I have ever played.

    I could say I put a few hours in fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim But so far I’ve put a total of 70h into this game and already on my second play through. This is truly my favourite RPG game of all time! The graphics are honestly astonishing! Don’t know why there are a lot of negatives reviews about it. With me personally I think it’s perfect for what the game is! Exploring space and planets is honestly beautiful! My favourite moment was when I landed on a moon next to Saturn and I got to see how beautiful Saturn really was, I was amazed…

    Now the gameplay, I loved the combat system. Handling a gun in this game is honestly really good. Almost like call of duty. So not too hard at all. It’s just perfect. Bugs, I found 0 bugs believe it or not. After hearing how buggy Bethesda games are. I found 0 bugs! Only bugs I’ve found are the creatures that I was able to kill!! Now the story, beautiful and intense. Two words really, nothing else to describe it. Let’s say it’s one of the best story line I’ve played so far this year! Honestly, this game deserves a 10/10 best game I’ve ever played. GOTY worth for sure!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of Bethesda's greatest strengths has always been its storytelling, and Starfield is no exception. The game's rich lore and intricate narrative draw players into a captivating tale of interstellar exploration, political intrigue, and ancient mysteries waiting to be unraveled. The depth of the lore and the attention to detail in world-building make Starfield's universe feel alive and genuinely immersive. Expand

    I love the physic! the bullets, the items/objects how items and bullets react to each gravity of each game/satellite.

    The orbits and the rotation of the planets are really amazing too. I cant say too much about the story because I still playing it but Ill update it soon once:)

    Better than any previous Bethesda game--which is saying a lot! Ship creation and customization, space battles, better shooting mechanics than Falllout games, base building, mysteries, and loads of surprises. I feel I've barely scratcher the surface!

    People are giving this game a zero. Most of them have not played it. Do you know how broken a game would have to be to earn a zero?! These

    I don't like this all review-bombing from straight up haters.

    This game is a Bethesda love letter to the fans and if you like Bethesda games then you'll LOVE Starfield. Game of the decade in my opinion.

    This is maybe by far the best Bethesda game.
    Just don't compare it to Star Citizen which is a completely different game (By the way the buggiest game ever but very fun).
    Enjoy the game, enjoy your life, and f the haters

    Jogo lindo deu pra ver que foi feito com carinho, ótimas missões, paisagens e fizeram de um jeito de alguem que tem astrofobia não fica mal, excelente, minha unica reclamação é não ter um carro para explorar o planeta, fora isso o jogo é perfeito.

    I was worried a lot and after actually PLAYING the game I have discovered that Starfield has a huge potential and is enjoyable. It's an Action RPG Space Opera.

    I was worried a lot and after actually PLAYING the game I have discovered that Starfield has a huge potential and is enjoyable. It's an Action RPG Space Opera.

    What I liked regarding Action features:

    - An effort has been done to make the combats more dynamic. You can vault over obstacles, the jet pack give you other strategy possibilities and the general use of weapons have been improved compared to previous Bethesda games.

    - Space combat can be a challenge if your level is too low, sometimes overwhelming as you also need to manually manage the power of each of your subsystem. You have a nice choice of weapons and provided you locked the enemy ship you can refine your aim and target critical components of your foe. After destroying their engines, you have the option to board and wipe the crew in order to add another ship to your collection.

    What I liked regarding RPG features:

    - INSANE amount of quests and sides. I particularly enjoyed the quests of Ryujin Corp.

    - Once again you have all the tools to be whoever you want in the galaxy: Perks, customizable and moddable gear, customizable ship.

    Want to be a merc? Lots of bounties quests and shadowy operations.
    Want to be a pirate? Improve your combat skills and steal some other ships in order to improve yours, recruit crew and fight the fleets of the settled systems.
    Want to be a good scientist? Survey entire systems and sell your data to Constellation organization.
    A bad one? Why not trying to smuggle organs?
    Want to be a colonizer? Construct outposts on remote planets or moons and start a mining industry.
    You are more into transport industry? Transform your ship in a cargo freighter and loot all you can in order to supply the resellers.
    Want to be an explorer? The main quests have you covered!

    - Not disappointed with level and interior design, always a pleasure to explore remote outpost or abandoned structures in order to find gear, meds or simply knowing more regarding the lore. Always has been a great strenght of the studio.

    - Persuasion system has been a bit improved. It feels more like a negotiation now than just a basic skill check. Doing some optional objectives can give you bonus in order to make the negotiation easier.

    What I liked regarding Space Opera features:

    - Bethesda put a lot of work in creating an entire new universe. It’s a plausible futuristic installation with great architectures and interesting factions and corporations with their own design and artistic assets (logos, suits, gear, building interior design, etc...).

    - There is more life in the cities which are way bigger, more vendors, more stuff to do and more places to wander. It’s a huge step forward comparing to their previous game.

    Resuming, the content of the game is great ! Unfortunately, it did not make me forget about the technical side.

    Optimization is terrible and a lot has been said regarding this already. NPC interaction can be sometimes strange with facial expressions or head mouvement not always matching the dialogues. Vanilla UI is not great, sometimes even frustrating. I had to install some mods in order to have the basic (compact menus so you are not scrolling all the time, tags so you know what you are looting and quickly know what the items do or give, columns with more data with filters option). AI... Typical of vanilla games from Bethesda, not really smart opponents.

    In a normal world, I would rate the game 7/10 in its current state. I am rating it 10 in order to compensate the 0s that this game absolutely does not deserve given the promising actual content.

    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. The Elder Scrolls VI

    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.
