    Game is honestly a jack of all trades master of none. No it isnt landing and take off and fly through to landing or space and it isnt a whole world generated but tiles that you can loot and discover handcrafted content on.

    What it does do well is tells a proper narrative supported by fully voiced dialogue even has lore via voice recordings ala bioshock style with some comedic elements.    Game is honestly a jack of all trades master of none.

    What it does do well is tells a proper narrative supported by fully voiced dialogue even has lore via voice recordings ala bioshock style with some comedic elements. Sprawling handcrafted cities that are fully explorable and more. All the mechanics looting and crime, respect and hate, companionship, lock picking, factions, quests that even have a backstory (even though some are random as hell.) Base and ship building you can even own a fleet of ships and make your own trade routed to automatically farm other resources from multiple outposts on multiple planets. The game is huge.

    Proper physics like gravity, items stay where you place them and gravity has a huge effect on derelict ships in space.

    There are some things people get over dramatic about, little things that should not even matter "this random population city generated npc is looking at me funny" there are hundreds of "random" generated npcs dont expect them all to look handcrafted like main story ones. "You cant explore the planet and it has borders" have you ever walked too france from the uk, newsflash true 1 to 1 walking sucks.

    Game is beautiful, good graphics and clever usage of light effects ray traced shadows and sprawling landscapes that have there physical feel too them.

    Lots to do feels like. Masseffect, bioshock, star citizen, no mans sky, fallout in space all wrapped into 1 neat package.

    If you like any of them games you will love starfield.

    But why a 10 you say? Because it seems like every other pony sock a count is downvoting from what i experienced to be a solid game that deserves better then stupid people downvoting it cause its not in there piece of plastic its pathetic. Ps. Ignore jim sterling (jimquisition), meritstation and ign US reviews. Ive read them and there is all sorts of lying going on sterling said "No Man’s Sky’s randomly generated worlds may have been rather soulless, but at least you didn’t explore identical buildings and identical caves full of identical furnishings and identical encounters" Ive played nms since its launch and everything jim said there is a utter lie.    … Expand

Yes the graphics are just ok the writing is also ok and the inventory system is poor but there are lots of very interesting characters, factions and lore and has tons of fun quests. I am really enjoying the gunplay and ship building and fighting. every fight is different depending on the gravity levels which really make the gameplay dynamic as well as the ability to play in 1st and 3rd person. My biggest gripe with the game is the amount of loading screens were does wear on me from time to time.

    I'm no Bethesda fanboy I didn't finish fallout 3 and would of give fallout 4 a rating of 6. And even though ino it done alot of individual things better than starfield it wasn't as fun and that's what this game is fun the most important thing for a game to be fun.    … Expand

    This is a Bethesda game with all its greatness and flaws. If you liked Fallout 3,4, Oblivion and Skyrim you will love this game. There is a lot of work, love and care on this game and it shows. On the other hand if you don´t like Bethesda RPGs, skip this one as there is not enough new content to interest you.

On console, I'm having a total blast playing Starfield, and I look forward to playing it for hundreds of hours more. The loading times are fantastic and the game is stable. I have no complaints there.

    I'm not here to spoil anything for anyone, and people can get the goods and bads from other reviews. Realistically Starfield is a 9 or 9.5 out of 10 for me, but I'm putting a 10 up to try and at least balance out the 0's and 1's from these spoiled crybabies that have absolutely no respect for the clearly apparent thousands of hours of work and TLC the developers put into making this game, only for some basement trolls to floor it on metacritic with unreasonably low scores that should only go to games like ET on colecovision...    … Expand

If you like a huge open RPG game and you're tired of post-apocalyptic or medieval fantasy types and are more into the sci-fi genre, you'll probably really like this game. Customization of the ship is a huge plus and you can spend hours just doing that. The first few hours the game are difficult because of its scale and vastness, where most games have you on a very specific track that eventually starts to broaden out after the first mission this game throws you into a situation where you can do whatever you want and deciding is hard. Do I stick with the main storyline? Do I take my ship out for a spin and see what's out there? Do I join the plethora of factions? If it weren't for some of the videos I would have been lost. The cons of the game are more about some of its mechanics. They're definitely not deal breakers at least for me but you can't help but feel a little bit deceived with the marketing. Navigating between wherever you are, your ship, other planets and even towns is not a straightforward as you would think. Plus there are loading screens were in previews and trailers you never saw them so it was a bit of a surprise to see that there are a lot of loading screens to transition you from one point to another. Again this is not a deal breaker just was not expected and I've pretty much adapted to it though it would have been nice to have more seamless transitions I chalk this up to more of technical challenges of making a game of this scale. Visuals though very impressive in a lot of ways, still have areas where it feels a little last generation. It's a very mixed bag but overall the quality and scale and look is quite impressive especially materials for clothing the ships and the overall detail of interiors while external details planets, forest areas or other outside graphics such as walking through a city range from looking a little sparse to exceptionally detailed. It's not fair to compare it to something like cyberpunk for multiple reasons though those comparisons will pop into your head. They are two very different types of games and cyberpunk bill exquisitely detailed is still just one very large city and not a thousand planets and I couldn't even imagine trying to get that level of detail on a scale this large it probably would have taken even longer by a few years and technology to catch up to implement that sort of scale. And this is coming from somebody who works both in the gaming and film animation CG industry. All in all I'm very pleased with it and it is sucked way more time out of my day since I got it than I thought it would and I'm almost afraid of how much time it's going to put in but I know I'm going to enjoy it as I've enjoyed the first hours of playing once I got past the what am I doing where should I go. Again I can't stress enough looking at a few videos for things I wish I had known and a general breakdown because the tutorials are not that intuitive and they definitely don't deep dive. You have the feeling that you've been put into the Olympics and someone tossed you in the water expecting you to compete without telling you how to swim. Last but not least I'm playing on both my Xbox series x and on a very very powerful PC. The lack of DLSS included is preposterous but at least some very ambitious modders have put them up so that you can utilize them. The game plays very well on the series x and you don't notice the much debated 30 frames per second because of how consistently smooth it is and the type of game it is. Visually The game of course will look better on a PC depending on your hardware setup and your resolution. I'm running it on an overclocked 3090 TI RTX and I'm enjoying it. Much sharper and detailed but you will either need the DLSS mod depending on what your hardware is and what resolution you plan on using. For me personally running a 1080p with a higher pixel per inch on a color calibrated monitor running at 60 hz looks fantastic but I know that some people must have the 4K and for that you will have to use DLSS if you want some pretty significant and clean FPS. That's all, love the game and plan on spending countless hours in it Hope you enjoy!… Expand

Für solche "Spieler" ist Starfield auf jeden Fall das falsche Spiel!    … Expand

    Starfield doesn't deserve the utterly poor ratings the haters have posted here. The game is not without its flaws, but it offers an amazing amount of fun that only a Bethesda RPG has to offer. I played it for 2 days straight the first weekend after release. It's neither Skyrim nor Fallout 4, but all the things I enjoyed most about both games are there in spades with this release.

    The game is quite entertaining; the exploration is good with many activities to do, and the combat is a lot of fun. There are some things that could be improved, for example, I would prefer to have more control over the spaceship and make the journeys more manual and less fast travel, something like No Man's Sky.

    The biggest feeling I have for Starfield is one of disappointment. A feeling of what could have been. Then a feeling of betrayal, that actually all of the budget that went into the game basically went on marketing. I feel like we didn't get what was promised. Some critics have suggested its basically Skyrim in space.. how I wish that were true! That at least would have been fun.The biggest feeling I have for Starfield is one of disappointment.

Some critics have suggested its basically Skyrim in space.. how I wish that were true! That at least would have been fun. Unfortunately my experience of Starfield so far is loading screens, fetch and carrier missions (a lot of those!) and fast travelling (which also generates another loading screen). The intro didn't grab me, I didn't feel instantly immersed like I did with Skyrim or even fallout 4. Looking at it, it doesn't actually look that different from those games except with a spacey skin thrown on top. Ultimately it feels like a walking simulator, or maybe even no mans sky..before it became an actual game. It just feels like its a mile wide but an inch deep. The space element feels like it was added in as an afterthought, probably by the same person who designed the main menu screen. Ill persevere with it, but its failing on the main objective for any game which is to entertain so far. It feels like a job, and that's not good.

    The good:
    Feels like a Bethesda game
    Space ship designing- fun
    Huge potential for the mods to actually make it a fun game

    The Bad
    The story, it doesn't captivate or grab you.
    No planet vehicles- a huge sophisticated civilisation.. but no moon buggy?
    Generic planets- they promised 1000 but then forgot to fill them with anything remotely interesting.
    Space flight- or lack of it, no takeoff, landing (loading screens for those!)
    Poor tutorials- the game doesn't explain WHY you cant fast travel somewhere just that its not possible right now.

    The Ugly
    Loading screens. For. Every. Single. Door.
    Fast travel is almost the default movement option
    Repetitive missions (fetch and carry more than UPS)
    Feels like a chore rather than a fun game    … Expand

    First, the good,
    This is a good evolution of the Bethesda formula, the character traits and starting background variety really sell the RP aspect of this game.
    It isn't Daggerfall, but the massive planets dotted with caves are pretty fun to run around in. Scanning things is addictive.
    The gameplay is like skyrim, so its obvious fun. Its simple, but fun.
    The crafting is nice The weird skills like "gastronomy" certainly add something.
    Thed ship customization is awesome.

    The bad:
    No mini maps in caves, fix this please
    Some of my friends had some really bad performance issues
    The books ive run into are all "excerpts" this is a downgrade from skyrim and its ilk, where they are NOT excerpts they are full books.

Bethesda talked about new features and the new style just for their own player, for the player of Skyrim and Fallout. Not surprising the common player was confused! If you played Bethesda games for a bit, you'd know for sure what to expect from Starfield. Even if there is word "space" in advertisement, you would never draw a parallel with any space simulation game. It's not a space simulation game. And it was never called so. It barely even looked like it in visual trailers.

    But on the other hand, what they should've said? "We have some space, but what most important is the amount of good quests and dialogues, awesome narrative, great open world and thousands possibilities!" Everyone already heard that. And everyone already played it. Played it in all the Fallout and all the Elder Scrolls games.

    Yeah, probably they should've said that narrative in this game is better than it ever was. Yeah, probably they should've said that side quests are just as great as always and the giant world is unchained as it never was. NPCs in the cities talk about real things, when they say something it means something.

    The only bug I saw during playthrough is a cabinet drawer physically stuck in itself. Did you see amount of items their physical engine is capable of handling without any stutter? That's insane progress on the engine. Also I think they should've introduced the complete modding capabilities right at the launch and even advertise them, show something. Everyone know it's a strongest part of Bethesda game. That's a great miss.

    In conclusion, the game will be played a lot and widely. Modding will be insane, every now and then I see potential to mod something. I do not see continuation of this franchise though and that's a bit concerning.    … Expand

    Unconventional to the likes of previous titles like Skyrim and Fallout 3, there isn’t a famous “step out moment” but rather a slow crescendo into what ends up being one of the deepest narrative driven experiences I’ve had in years. There are so many moments that have you feeling like you are playing four or five games in one.

Combat AI for example. But until these issues are sorted, the game is simply not worth playing - knowing it could be done better. The game is only 4 out of 10 until these fixes go through.

    More lies by Todd "The Liar" Howard. Boring game game that feels like it belongs in 2012. Antique engine, lackluster story, copy paste, copy paste, copy paste.

    I dont quite get the hype. To me, the game can be described as "loading screen..."; not that loading takes long - it takes less than a second ... but it is a chain of loading screen scenes (launch, be in space open map, jump, land)

    There is a severe disconnect with the character: so you are a miner, boom ... now you are a chosen one. hmm .. really? I also do not quite get the hype    I dont quite get the hype.

    There is a severe disconnect with the character: so you are a miner, boom ... now you are a chosen one. hmm .. really?

    I also do not quite get the hype about its graphics. They are muddy and do not look good. It is not the complexity of the models, but maybe the design .. but much of it has severe last generation vibes.

    On the technical side - no super wide screen support? .. for a game that prides itself on the vastness of space? Terrible, TERRIBLE UI (its a typical console UI - totally inadequate for PC)

    To sum it up:
    - mediocre graphics, especially human character models look 1 or 2 generations old
    - poorly populated "cities", its the ps2 era cities, where you never see too many people doing their days work. Even Skyrim had livelier towns. By and large .. i would compare cities to Fallout New Vegas.
    - good sound and acceptable voice acting (but not even close to Baldurs Gate 3)
    - there is NO feeling of space, you actually hardly spend time in "space". You click a point on the map and fast travel
    - there is no landing, no launching - nothing. It is all cutscenes - very disappointing. I mean .. look at ancient games like "Frontier" .. even that one had launching and landing on planets .. on a single 3.5 disk

    all in all disappointing - but like every Bethesta game, it can and likely will be saved by modders    … Expand

    Played it because I have gamepass anyway. Boring crap like Skyrim. I really tried to like these kinds of games, but there is absolutly no immersion with these soulless NPCs. And the unimportant ones are so ugly. Not worth your time or money.

    The space travel aspect in the game is merely a shallow feature that allows you to say, "Hey, you can travel in space," without much actual gameplay involved. Rather than accessing other planets through a physical menu, you access them through an interactive menu while onboard your ship.

Rather than accessing other planets through a physical menu, you access them through an interactive menu while onboard your ship.

    During my early gameplay, I had a ship battle, but there haven't been any significant encounters since. However, it's possible that these mechanics become more prevalent later in the game. Overall, the game feels like Fallout 4 set in space, albeit without the VATS system. The gameplay, loot gathering, and usage of loot resemble Fallout 4, and it doesn't bring much novel to the table. Unfortunately, there are two major flaws that significantly detract from the game.

    Firstly, the absence of land vehicles other than walking is incredibly frustrating. Sprinting depletes your oxygen rapidly, and traveling from point A to point B takes a frustratingly long time due to the vast expanses of empty space between them.

    Secondly, unlike in Fallout, where you could spot distant landmarks and explore the areas in between, this game lacks that sense of discovery. Either the long-distance visuals don't appear until you're closer, or there genuinely isn't much of interest on each planet.

    Despite boasting a staggering number of 1000 planets to explore, it fails to capture the same sense of exploration found in Fallout or Skyrim. The issue might stem from the arduousness of traveling around, especially from point A to point B.

    On the positive side, the game mechanics are solid and offer a diverse range of activities. Crafting weapons, armor, ship upgrades, and mining minerals form an intricate system. However, it would have been more enjoyable if the developers had focused on improving the content of a smaller number of planets, rather than spreading themselves thin over 10000 planets.

    Additionally, the game suffers from technical issues. HDR is glitchy, the lack of an FOV slider and brightness adjustment is noticeable, and the lighting is subpar for a next-gen game. The PC optimization is questionable, although it's worth noting that some players forget that DLSS is not available in this game, causing performance struggles for those with lower-end GPUs.

    Overall, I would rate the game a 6/10. If they were to address some key issues by adding a land vehicle, fixing HDR, introducing an FOV slider, and implementing DLSS, the score could potentially reach a 7/10. To further improve, they should focus on creating more points of interest on fewer planets, as the current quantity feels gimmicky. With such changes, the game could potentially earn a 9/10 rating.    … Expand

    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.
