    - FTL, an Indie Rogue Lite made by one dude, unironically had more space exploration than this game
    - Bland un-interesting universe where I literally couldn't care less about anything that happens in it
    - Faux RPG choices giving the illusion of build diversity
    - Possibly the worst UI I have ever experienced in any major release title
    - An inventory that's harder to manage than my emotions
    - More time spent in loading screens than browsing the internet on a dial-up connection in 2001

    All in all I cannot say I enjoyed a single minute of the time I spent playing this game and am thankful Steam was kind enough to give me a refund

    Space exploration is NON-EXISTENT, it doesn't exist; this point is truly disappointing, especially considering that it has constant loading screens that completely break immersion.

FromSoft, Guerrilla, MonolithSoft, Nintendo, and CDPR to name a few. Sadly despite huge promises, Starfield is an outdated game with an unimaginative story, subpar combat, and several clunky gameplay systems that are poorly explained. Poor optimization on both PC and Xbox are far from a current gen showpiece. Monotonous and uninspired are the two best words to describe Starfield. Expand

    But armours and other stuf is great. I have to say that this piece of game is delicious. I can stay and watch my ship and armour for hours.

    2. Main story is worst than Fallout 3, even Fallout 4 has better story, where this game has the worst story before this game. Side quest are better, but still tons of fedex.
    Imagine that you have to talk with someone at first planet, then you have to back to main npc to another planet. Where are phones, or ship radios?

    3. Exploration is the worst since morrowind. Why at random planet are 3 POIs, Included abandoned fabrics and other buildings. Okey maybe it has sense, cause planets are empty, But in 2300, some of them can be settled. Still why at random planets are the same fabrics with the same loot and enemy spawns x15 etc.

    4. Flying is dissasted, when enemyies attacking me i am crying. I dont want to fight. I am waiting for mod to delele this encounters.

    a lot to say but I'm going to focus on the technique and the immersion, it's a shame in 2023 for a new generation game, permanent loading, dated visuals and mechanics, catastrophic AI, low framerate, exploration in limited space in unintuitive menus

    Arguably the worst single player Bethesda game ever made. Terrible soapy graphics with a green filter that makes your eyes tired. NPCs are terribly stupid, quests are not interesting and there are a lot of loading screens, outdated graphics, the game is not optimized. Terribly boring game and it's not an RPG.. It's not worth 100 euros. For me, Bethesda is completely dead...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the loading screen simulator I've waited for.

    You don't fly your ship much. You open your menu, ooen another menu, select a location, and fast travel between planets. 6 loading screens to get from one planet's surface to another.

    The game is dated, boring, and lacks a lot of the elements that make Skyrim fun to play.

    Dead eyed faces on notable NPCs. Randoms look like potatoes with glued on eyes.

    I am sorry I bought it. I made it worse by getting the Xbox and PC versions. I wanted other family members to play too.

    To be fair it's not trash but its faults just outweigh anything good...or that could have been good.

    Sadly this is let down after revolutionary Skyrim.

    Positives are great atmosphere and amazing soundtrack. Shooting also feels improved compared to FO4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Based on approximately 20 hours, early access. The game is ok if you are looking to scratch a Space fantasy itch on the weekend, but it feels like an expensive Fall out mod or a poorly directed PG-13 Syfy show episode.

    Pros

    - Initial appeal
    - Music
    - Scenary
    - Character customization
    - Ship building/customization

    Cons

    - No memorable characters
    - Weak main story which culminates into no answers
    - All enemies are the same - combat reduced to massive bullets and grenades spam against the same enemies from start to end of the game
    - Low weapon variety and next to no creativity of how to do dmg
    - Load screens are acceptable to some extend, but overused
    - Hitboxes are absolutely awful even with weapons specialization
    - UI - basically missing, a few colors put together in paint as background, no elements, no visual explanations
    - Inventory management - mostly annoying, no search, no filter, no sorting, all jammed up together
    - Weak graphics for a 2023 AAA game, especially one focused on Space
    - No boss fight mechanics
    - While planets have several biomes combinations, exploration is reduced to landing on planets followed by 1. walking, 2. explore cave, 3. explore base, 4. kill the same enemy, 5. loot, repeat for every planet.
    - Space combat is scenery, but lacks identity - somewhere between EVE online and SWBF2
    - No immersion in cities - no reactions to player actions

    The game is okay, but not much more. It doesn't live up to the hype. Generic Bethesda quests, the most fragmented space I've ever seen, and inconsistent 30fps performance that regularly drops. It looks good, but it comes at the cost of countless loading times. You can't even go up a ladder without a loading screen. There aren't too many bugs, but they occur regularly.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played this highly anticipated game and all I kept waiting for was the "ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND" moment that sadly never came. All I was confronted with was a barren wasteland of empty space! Missing were the magical discovery moments! The type of moments you dream of as a kid when you looked up at the night sky and see shooting stars. This was supposed to be the ONE, the stuff of legends that we'd all be applauding for the next decade! This was supposed to be the gold standard of all games moving forward! There are no next gen moments! Somewhere in an alternate universe, they probably got it right, but in this reality, they fumbled the ball! This has to be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history so far. How does something that took 25 years to become a reality, ended up as a nightmare?

    Starfield is another Bethesda game that fails to revolutionize the formula of loot-shoot-return that the studio is infamously known for at this point.
    I was expecting more, but there's not one system that's at least flawed to a minor degree.
    -Ship building is fine, but the fun stuff is locked behind perks. -Space combat is mindless and boring, the only thing that determines if you win

    -Ship building is fine, but the fun stuff is locked behind perks.
    -Space combat is mindless and boring, the only thing that determines if you win or lose is level difference and perk investment.
    -The story feels generic and uninspired.
    -Gameplay is fine, but I wish there was a bit more, the powers are just another version of Skyrim's shouts but other than being a novelty they just fade in the background, and they eventually lose their appeal.
    -Perks lock you out of BASIC GAMEPLAY FEATURES, and sometimes they're required to complete quests, so you can get locked out of them.
    -The amount of loading screens in this game is astonishing, want to travel to another planet? Loading screen, wanna land on a planet? Loading screen, don't wanna travel half a mile through a barren wasteland of a planet? You guessed it, loading screen.
    -Speaking of planets, how about 950 of them with absolutely nothing to do other than walking around aimlessly for some resources you can't even carry?
    -NPC faces look creepy and lifeless, they just kinda stare at you blankly, it really makes you uneasy.
    -Inventory management is a nightmare.
    -Performance while not egregiously bad is just not acceptable, I was damn constantly dropping below 30 every time I loaded in a big city like New Atlantis.

    There's more, but I'll stop there, overall I'm disappointed by this so called 25 years in the making "space opera".

    Everything else about this game is a complete disaster:
    - the loading screens, overall terrible user experience (UX) design;
    - the amount of bugs and glitches are astounding (not surprising considering its Bethesda);
    - 'the space travel' is a joke, its just a non-convincing, uninspiring, boring emulation of the potential experience, nothing actually happens in space itself except of repetitive boring ship fights;
    - almost all planets are empty and feel generated by AI, major cities and planets are almost as dull;
    - Lore, NPCs, dialogues, factions and quests are dull and and feel generated by AI;
    - AI of the NPCs is one of the worst I've seen in my life (on par with Cyberpunk 2077 vanilla);
    - weapons and perks are boring and don't provide any interesting and unique mechanics to the game role-playing wise;
    - enemies are repetitive and quickly become tiresome to fight with, the fights are just a shooting gallery.

    Don't even think about buying the game, and I strongly advise you to not even try to play it with the Game Pass, any RPG player and/or space enthusiast (astrophile) would get disgusted by what he would experience.

Si tienes alguna inclinación por mantener tu cordura y no lanzar tu dinero a la basura, sigue leyendo para conocer por qué este juego y la consola no merecen ni siquiera un pensamiento.

    Empecemos con los problemas técnicos, porque aparentemente lanzar un juego que funcione correctamente es una tarea demasiado difícil. Starfield se jacta de caídas de framerate, errores de texturas y problemas de estabilidad que te harán preguntarte si los desarrolladores siquiera saben lo que están haciendo.

    ¿Esperabas explorar un vasto universo? Bueno, olvídalo. En lugar de eso, estarás recorriendo los mismos mundos y planetas una y otra vez, como si la falta de creatividad fuera una característica de diseño. Y no te emociones demasiado con la narrativa, porque es tan poco inspirada como un ladrillo. Personajes aburridos, misiones insulsas y una trama principal que te hará pensar si alguien realmente se tomó el tiempo para escribirla.

    Si eso no es suficiente para ahuyentarte, espera a conocer el sistema de monetización. Porque aparentemente pagar por el juego no es suficiente, también puedes esperar encontrarte con microtransacciones acechando en cada esquina, listas para despojarte de más dinero por contenido que debería haber estado en el juego desde el principio.

    En resumen, si disfrutas de la idea de desperdiciar tu tiempo y dinero en un juego que parece haber sido creado por aficionados en su garaje, y si sueñas con una consola que te brinde más dolores de cabeza que satisfacción, entonces adelante, Starfield y la Xbox Series X son perfectos para ti. Pero si tienes un ápice de sentido común y aprecio por tu sanidad mental, mantente alejado de esta aberración de juego y la consola que intenta sostenerlo. Tu billetera y tu cordura te lo agradecerán.

Alas, we get to run back and forth for every single quest update, sometimes across many light years, because nobody at BGS said "Hey, maybe we should let them call some of this in."

    Terrible. That alone takes 4 points off of the game. The loading screens, terrible animation, horrible story, and broken AI should take off another 3 or 4 points, but I'm going to say this is a 5...because that's about what it is when you compare it to the other garbage that AAA studios have been releasing lately.

    Finished. Wait until you finish this game. If you thought it was bad before, holy jeez does it find a way to get much worse. I had given it a 5, but after finishing I'm giving it a 2. Absolutely terrible writing, buggy mess, lackluster "innovation", disjointed and jumbled universe (really just a series of boxes), and I could go on, but I'm just glad to be done with it. Play it for the ship building, which is neat. The rest is a slog at best, and painful at times. BGS doesn't deserve your money ever again. FO76 really was enough for that, imo, but we all fell for Todd's lies.

    One more thing…. Let me remind you of some of Todd’s own words: “unparalleled exploration”and “exploration without limits.” It was neither of these things. Not even close. It was a trash game developed to sell GamePass subscriptions to kids whose parents didn’t know why an Xbox Series S is not the same as an Xbox Series X. The game time was padded after data mining by analysts who figured out how many months before someone forgets to cancel a sub and how many hours a month the average Xbox Series S player puts into a game.

    3 months for them to forget about their sub? They average about 20 hours a month? Make the game take about 75 hours. This is today’s Microsoft. Wait until they get ahold of Blizzard and Activision.

    The skill tree is bland, with standard physics and human behavoir that have to be learned AGAIN?
    Like the "ability" not to bee heard/seen everywhere, far away, behind walls and obstacles by all enemies? Why can you not just run and hide like a normal human being? Not to mention all those lame characters that talks and talks about so insanely much the same pov monotone way. Again. The combat is ok enough, but a solid step down from Skyrim and Fallout 4.
    Nothing new.

    The technical sci-fi aspect is awesome, but I will rather play Cyberpunk that shows more creativity and atleast some humor, that Starfield really lacks...

    Not only is this game not the exploration game that was promised (mostly fast travel to designated set pieces) but it is straight up broken. I can not progress due to a character I am supposed to interact with not being present. Reloading saves has not fixed it. I truly can't finish the game unless I start completely over which I will not be doing.

    Huge Fallout fan here, but Starfield not so much. I completed the main quest line in 1d0h21m and I was never happier to put a game behind me so I could move on to something else.

    *No maps to show where you are going but I was still able to manage, thanks to Dark Souls.
    *You get plenty of credits just drop stuff instead of using vendors, you won't regret it. It will save you the time loading yourself from planet to planet trying to find a vendor.
    *Grass doesn't move when you walk through it, makes my character feel like it isn't in the game.
    *Character has no reflections in glass, this irks me as I feel like my character isn't in the game.
    *I never upgraded a ship/weapon or used a single workbench the entire game, just felt too clunky to deal with.
    *The ship builder was a cool idea and fun but I really just wanted to finish the campaign so I could be done already.
    *I used my gun I got at level 8 all the way to the end of the game at level 28.
    *After completing the main quest I went to explore other planets around 6 to be exact and they were just lifeless apart from boulders or a few plants so I felt no need to explore anymore.
    *I had several hard crashes back to Xbox menu, one during the final quest of the game right before rolling credits.
    *The shooting/combat mechanics feel like a really bad Borderlands game.

    I'm going to go play Borderlands 3.......

The game feels empty and disjointed and constantly breaks immersion with so much required interaction through menus and time spent in loading screens. It feels like Bethesda kept all the bad parts from previous games and didn't improve on any of the good ones. The UI is terrible, especially on PC. Why can't you see the contents of tour own inventory and the vessel you're transferring to at the same time? Why do we have to rely on mods to have any sort of filtering when you can have hundreds of items? Why can't we swap weapon mods over to rarer weapons like you could do in Fallout 4? The list goes on. It seems the budget was spent on graphics and that Bethesda is happy to rely on mods to to fix all the glaring issues. The space combat is so boring and bare bones that the game would have been better without it. No need to buy fuel, no need to buy missiles as they just magically recharge. Whoever was making decisions on game mechanics has clearly never played a space sim like Freelancer, Everspace or even anything from the X series. There is no point in any excitement for a Bethesda title anymore as they seem to revel in mediocre releases that simply aren't worth the time to grind through. I pity whoever pitched the idea to Microsoft that buying Bethesda would be a good investment. Well done Todd Howard. As always, it just works. Expand

    Epic StarFail. Stuck in the past. It looks and plays like a 15 year old game and is simply a technical embarrassment in 2023. Especially on Xbox. On Pc Modders will fix a lot of the issues - and believe me, this game has a lot - but on Xbox you won't have Mod Support. Don't buy an Xbox for this garbage! Honestly.

    The issue with Starfield isn't about the endless loading screens that everyone is buzzing about online.

This is, in my view, the game's primary flaw. It's such a shame since Bethesda had a significant budget, and the game had potential – after all, AAA space exploration titles aren't a common sight. Another disappointment is that the so-called "space travels" merely feel like journeying through a corridor with fast-travel between these corridors. You can't fly wherever you want, nor can you land on a planet or moon on your own accord. Moreover, the landscapes on these celestial bodies are utterly dull. Why could No Man's Sky achieve procedural generation, yet Bethesda, with a budget of $200 million, couldn't? The graphics are a mixed bag: on one hand, there's a modern engine underneath with detailed models, but on the other, the lighting is awful and space feels "empty." I don't feel inclined to stay in this world, nor savor its beauty. I've played about 20 hours, planning to finish and delete it. Very disappointed. Played it on Game Pass, which is my only consolation. Had I spent $100 on this, I'd be pulling my hair out right now. You were supposed to be the new Witcher in space. You were meant to defeat the evil, not join it. Expand

    Es ist nichtmal möglich selber abzuheben oder zu landen mit ihrem Schiff, ALLES Cutscenes.
    Die Planeten im All sind eigentlich nur Karikaturen. Selber drauf gezielt zu fliegen und zu landen ist wegen der typischen peinlichen Bethesda Engine garnicht möglich, alles wiegesagt nur Zwischensequenzen.

    Vom Writing her gibt es ebenfalls nicht viel zu sagen, es ist nicht gut, wie in allem Bethesda Titeln. Da gab es die Ambitionen ebenfalls nicht zu finden.

    8 Jahre war dieses Spiel in Entwicklung, für was?
    Als Vergleich: Red Dead 2 brauchte 8 Jahre.
    Das Spiel sieht und Spielt sich wie ein Fallout 4 Space - Add-On.

    Wie man so Kreativlos jahrelang an einem Spiel arbeiten kann ist mir ein Rätsel.

    No one should be supporting anything Microsoft or anything Microsoft owns. Microsoft owns widows and the entire world operates on widows computers. That is the only reason that all those officials let them buy 2 publishing companies that own 30 or more developer's studio's and hundreds of already successful game franchises to make them and all future games from 30 or more studios exclusive to Microsoft storefronts. They are conning the consumers and developers with gamepass telling people that gamepass gets consumers free games and gamepass helps developers sell games. You can't have both it doesn't work that way. Either people are getting free games not buying them or people are buying games more than ever before not both.

We've got an uncompelling and unnimersive story, we have lifeless npcs, terrible facial animations and gestures, combat which hasn't evolved since fallout 3 and terrible enemy (and friendly) AI to boot. There are other things which hamper the experience such as the abundance of loading screens, the lack of good space combat & space travel but I'm way more dissapointed that Bethesda hasn't bothered to improve on their foundations. The fact we got this game in 2023 is surprising because standards have never been higher. Expand

    A game that lied about its features, released unoptimized and broken. Stop Pre ordering and paying these lazy AAA companies games.

    Tenía grandes expectativas sobrte este juego y fue una total decepción. El gráfico es como lo mejor de la generación pasada. Si hubiera salido hace 5 años hubiera sido increible. La historia es sosa y sin chiste. Nunca te engancha. Las misiones son repetitivas. Siempre es lo mismo. Viajas a un planeta, buscas la base, matas a los piratas, encuentras un objeto, regresas a tu nave,Tenía grandes expectativas sobrte este juego y fue una total decepción.

Siempre es lo mismo. Viajas a un planeta, buscas la base, matas a los piratas, encuentras un objeto, regresas a tu nave, encuentras más piratas, los matas y robas su nave. Sobre el vuelo y el combate mejor ni hablar. Es lo peor de todo. No puedes explorar, no tienes vuelo atmosfferico, no puedes volar a otro planeta por tu cuenta. En fin, todo mal. Tal vez si siguen trabajando en un par de años se convierta en un juego regular. Expand

    Really, really let down by this game. It's should be titled "Loading screen simulator" or "abstruse menu exploration" because that's where you spend the majority of your time... The Bethesda formula is old and tired, and this game simply feels dated.

    3 horas de jogo e totalmente tedioso, muito longe de outros jogos de RPG atual, fora isso 30fps e NPCs horríveis.

    Outdated game, outdated engine, outdated dev team, outdated CEO.

    Let me start: I am owner of premium edition so I have been familiar with this production for a few days. First at all I will honestly state that I feel cheated out of $100. And just to be clear, I based my decision to buy not on hype or rumors, but on carefully following official information from the developer, publisher,

And just to be clear, I based my decision to buy not on hype or rumors, but on carefully following official information from the developer, publisher, including their CEOs. So I don't feel like a dumb sucker, but like a person who was deliberately lied to. I want nothing to do with future products with the Microsoft and Bethesda logos. But about that in the summary at the end.

    Una decepción de juego. Desde el apartado gráfico que parece del 2010 hasta los diálogos más genéricos que he visto. La exploración prometida no cumple, está lleno de pantallas de carga lo que corta con la imercion del juego.. desastroso.

    Eu pensei que a experiência de jogo seria em tempo real desde a decolagem até a chegada aos planetas. Sempre tem loading e as limitações em 30 fps não tem justificativa, pois os gráficos não são de nova geração, e a maioria dos ambientes são vazios e sem ação.

    O jogo possui pronomes da agenda politica WOKE para agradar uma minoria que tem como objetivo destruir os valores da família e dividir as pessoas em grupos com ideais extremistas.

    Você compra vídeo games com hardware de última geração e recebe jogos de baixa qualidade, com agenda politica e cheio de bugs.

    Antigamente as gerações de 8,16,32,64 e 128 bits sempre evoluíam em termos de gameplay e gráficos. Essa geração de consoles da Sony e Microsoft são uma piada.

    This game's "open world" (if you can even call it that) is a total downgrade compared to those from the previous BGS titles. It is merely a list of dungeons and other locations separated by long and frequent loading screens. This design choice not only stops you from immersing in the game's world but, when combined with the disastrous optimization by Bethesda is really frustrating.

    I’d much rather a couple fleshed out planets then 1000 worlds if it means I’m in a load screen every 2 min. Hell even cities like neon u got to load for every shop.

Worlds are boring and just a bunch of reused dungeons and fetch quests. It’s crazy with the amount of resources Bethesda has how dated this game feels.

    It's a big game, but starts way too slowly, and may never get interesting.

    It is true that you'll find a good number of barren wastelands with little to do other than extracting some resources and take off to more interesting places, but again it really depends on how you want to play. There's so much to do, so many systems and abilities to explore, missions to complete, spaceships to loot, and species to catalogue, that I honestly don't think there's anybody who thinks that exploring every square meter of this universe is the better way to enjoy Starfield.

    While it has weak spots and doesn’t push many boundaries, Starfield is still an excellent RPG experience. Bethesda has once again mastered the things it built its reputation on – world building, quest design, and deep customization. However, it’s found new things to excel at too, with exciting combat and a novel implementation of New Game Plus.
