    The way Todd Howard was talking, Starfield seemed like it would be a large departure for Bethesda. Turns out it's just fallout in space, but with none of the features that make that IP charming.

Loved all of the Elderscrolls games and Fallout 3 and New Vegas. This was a step back in terms of interesting. Expand

All these compromises down to an prehistoric engine or a lack of technical no how.

    Reviewers are saying you can't compare it to Cyberpunk, Dying Light 2, GTA5 as Starfield has so many systems. Well I'm calling BS. All those games have huge cities that now run at 60fps, look way better, feel better and have far far fewer loading screens. And the supposed multitude of systems that give Starfield a pass?.... a bunch of Mass Effect 1 procedurally generated planets with repetitive linear bases, caves etc. And space exploration via fast travel. Yes It's playable, but set your expectations to something similar but slightly worse than Fallout 4 (as its 30fps), with convoluted systems, and half baked exploration and planets

    It has possibilities, I imagine with six to twelve months of patches and quality of life improvements it will be a reasonable game. But at the moment it is dull.

But at the moment it is dull. And certain things don't make much sense. Like in the future we lost the ability to utilise any maps within civilisation centres that tell us where vendors are located etc. The spaceship is nothing but an extended inventory, you don't really fly it ... you just move it from point A to point B on a starmap. There is the illusion of flying, by moving it around the atmosphere of a planet, with a smattering of chanky space combat.

    Where the game struggles I think is lore ... I have no feeling for it at all. Elder Scrolls/Fallout they crafted a world. Starfield - I don't get any world building sense. Yeah there are things that mark it as a Bethesda game, turrets, consoles, lock picking, inventory management, perks, bugs etc. But I don't care about the lore - everything is so generic. My initial feeling was it played like just any other space game, a lot of other space games have done it a lot better.

    Generally just don't believe the hype with this one, it is boring. There is no 'wow' factor to the game, that blows your socks off. It is just grind and while grind in itself is not too bad if you have a captivating story or interesting characters, this game lacks on both scores.

    Overall has some potential, imagine once PC modders get into it and start showing Bethesda what is actually possible. Then Bethesda take those ideas and filter them into the game over time. Starfield will end up a reasonable game. But at the minute it is seriously lacking something, and all I can think is there isn't much lore or anything.

Controls super clunky, shooting very inconsistent, planets are a joke not real planets literally only a few things to do, I hate the scanning you have to be super close to scan and there’s almost nothing to scan, not like No Man’s Sky where you can scan EVERYTHING. Very very boring I’m trying to push through cause people say it gets better but this is a snooze fest so far I’m at Mars constellation mission. I’m trying to enjoy it but it’s definitely super weird and other games do everything better just haven’t had any fun yet. Expand

    Game lacks any real vision. Feels very bland and uninspired. Does nothing to change the formula up. Space exploration is boring and tedious, gun play is acceptable, graphics are quite dated for a 2023 game.
    Its by no means a bad game, it just isnt a good one. It might be time to look at updating the creation engine Bethesda.
    Very disappointed.

    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...

    Starfield was a huge disappointment for me. While playing this game, I felt like I was going back 20 years because the mechanics used are so obsolete. I could also talk about the stupid AI, the poverty of exploration (which is mainly done through menus and teleports) and the numerous bugs.

    Very poor attention to details for a modern production; feels very 2005. Poor characters (NPCs). Impossible to remove pronouns. Way to woke for normal production - feels they had an agenda to push, rather than focusing on what matters in a game.

    - Combat and guns feel great.
    - Some missions are fun to play
    - Spaceship customization

    Maybe I was expecting too much of this next-gen exclusive but nothing about it feels next-gen at all. 30 FPS with tons of loading screens It's basically fallout with a space background. Something about empty procedurally generated worlds just doesn't excite me and the lack of vehicles sucks. The space exploration is mostly just combat It's all fast travel and cutscenes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Ship customizations, some ability and weapons customizations, Decent graphics, 3rd person view is good, minimal bugs

    Cons:
    -Story takes long to catch up and nothing memorable for a AAA title.
    -Graphics are not at the level of a AAA current gen title honestly. Some models look good but facial expressions, hair, vegetation, and others look 100% last gen. Its really a last gen game. Must be an old game engine that hasn't been updated enough to use modern techniques and hardware.
    -Because of last point, the loading times suck on the Series X. They're not taking advantage of the disk throughput of the system.
    -In light of last point, Space travel is immersion breaking and not memorable for a AAA currrent gen title. You load into a spaceship, to travel, have to fast travel basically to get into a planet and load into a planet. Its really immersion breaking.
    -Planets are essentially empty spaces.

    In summary; they could have made a better game if they focused on creating a few planets(8) that you can actually fly to in real time. Invested more in the story, and updating their game engine to utilize new streaming methods for loading data, amongst other things.

    The open world is filled with ugly looking ressources and wildlife, which can be hunted/gathered and scanned, anyone could build a better world with a map builder on any game, i even remember doing a better job at farcry2 or 3 (dont remember anymore), where the maps actually looked pretty.
    So in all that boring nothingness, you get a few outposts/settlements/buildings, where you can loot and explore, guess what, opening the door will require to wait a few seconds for you to enter, its probably just a small loading screen. after entering it, you will get a whole lot of items you can loot, there comes the other thing which made me hate the gameplay, 135kg where i can store stuff, and its already full after like 5mins of exploring a building. so you either have to overload your companion or run back to your ship and store it there and come back later. but dont worry, thats not the only quality of life feature which is missing, the game also doesnt have a map (i mean a technology advanced enough for space travel but not maps), it also doesnt have a minimap.
    the fasttravel system is complicated, you have to look at the location with your scanner and use fasttravel.

    - no normal fasttravel
    - no map
    - no minimap
    - super bland coloring / watching the game is enough to bore the sht out of you
    - boring introduction
    - boring and ugly world
    - the moment you start enjoying the exploration , your bag gets full

    i for my part didnt enjoy it, i bought the preorder pack for over 100bucks, got a refund, played it on the gamepass and still didnt enjoy it and quit early on.

    A real shame, especially when it comes to flying the spaceship because they look great, the personalisation and interiors are cool, and the fighting is fun. But that's limited to the emptiness of space.

    A lot of mechanics in the game are also pointless and retract from the experience. The main one being O2/CO2 levels where you can't even run for more than 10 seconds without getting health damage. What's the point of that? That's not fun for anyone.

    Graphically it's a nice game, and there was clearly a lot of time and effort put into the design of objects and the world in general. But the stale gameplay, constant load screens & menus - just don't make it worth it.

    The game seems to be overambitious and in the end just fell flat. It's mediocre compared to "what could have been" that they promised. I'm at around mid game and don't know if I want to push more time into it.

    Não sei se chamo de DLC de Fallout 4 ou se chamo de simulador de caminha em vários planetas, porque é zuado essa parte da "exploração planetária" . Bethesda precisa desapegar dessa Creation engine e evoluir, um game onde há vários diálogos NPC's sem expressão tiram toda a emoção do game.

    If the game is loaded with loading screen then why on earth it couldn't run in 60fps on the Series X. 20 years In making and we get this, how is this ok? We live in a world today where the right is wrong and the wrong is right and there are plenty of wrong in this game. Its simply unfinished. Congratulations Microsoft for ruining another great developer bravo

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A ideia do jogo é boa,em questão de história não duvido que seja bom. Porém o jogo tá injogavel na versão PC. Não faz sentido um jogo que não tem o gráfico tão avançado estar travando tanto e com quedas bruscas de FPS ainda mais levando-se em conta que jogos como Rede Dead Redemption 2 rodem bem e com folga no mesmo Hardware. Pelas reviews positivas realmente achei que poderia jogar ,mas me enganei. Bethesda conseguiu novamente a façanha de hypar um jogo e falhar na execução. Expand

    The game is dull. There's no other way around it. I've never played any mainline Bethesda games like Skyrim or Fallout 4. As such, this is my first "Bethesda RPG" and, I got to say, I'm not impressed.

    The game is dull. There's no other way around it. I've never played any mainline Bethesda games like Skyrim or Fallout 4. As such, this is my first "Bethesda RPG" and, I got to say, I'm not impressed.

    First of all, there's a general lack of attention to detail in this game. Don't get this confused with lack of polish. I run a AMD 3700X CPU with a NVIDIA 2070S. The game itself runs very well; very smooth, no bugs, glitches, FPS drops or stuttering. However, there's next to no attention to detail. For example, there aren't any foot trails in sand or mud; if you throw a grenade into water, there'll just be an basic explosion instead of a water explosion; there's no change in water if you look down at your feet when you're walking in it, there's no destructible aspects to the environment... stuff like that.

    Then there's the "space exploration". This is the most pathetic thing about this game. You'd assume that it'd be more like Star Citizen than friggin' LEGO STAR WARS THE SKYWALKER SAGA, but you'd be wrong. In short, in games like Star Citizen and No Man's Sky, the transition from boarding your starship, blasting off into space, traveling to a different planet and landing on that planet is seamless. You can do it all yourself during gameplay. This game is not like that. It's almost exactly like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

    In this game, you get in your ship then press a button to take off. You watch a cutscene, the game loads, then you're in space. Once you're in space, you bring up a menu, select your destination, than select "travel". A cutscene plays, the game loads, and then you're around a different planet. To land, guess what? You guessed it. You open up your map, select your destination, press a button. A cutscene plays, the game loads, another cutscene plays and you're on the planet in your ship. Oh and, by the way, this is the most immersive way of doing it. It's completely unnecessary to go into space at all. Once you've landed somewhere, you can literally just fast travel there in a menu. No starship, no space travel... nothing.

    I'll be honest, although the game world is more expansive in this game than LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, I prefer the latter. Somehow, the Lego game has a more seamless and immersive travel system than this game even though it's nearly identical. I say this because, depending on where you are in the Lego game, you can seamlessly jump from one planet to another without using menus. If you've played the Lego, game you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, look it up.

    Now here's the thing, space exploration is just a part of this game. I bought it for the space exploration and I'm willing to bet a lot of other people are going to as well. With that being said, how is the rest of the game despite the space exploration's shortcomings. The answer: not much better.

    Credit where credit is due. The music is phenomenal and sound design is very well done. Voice acting, ambiance, space ambiance, running, clambering, shooting... all very immersive from an audio perspective.

    The art design is similarly unique enough to be memorable and nice to look at. The character customizer, weapon designs, costume designs, worlds, environments, buildings, props... all very well done.

    That's where my praise ends.

    Graphically, the game is mediocre. Not the best, not the worst. Like I mentioned before, although the art direction is good, there's a general lack of attention to detail that really draws me in. NPC animations are particularly awful. I'd honestly be a lot more critical of the game's graphics if the game didn't run as well as it did. Like I said before, real smooth performance across the board.

    When it comes to story, I haven't gotten far and it's not the worst in the world. However, from a presentation and entertainment perspective, it's lame. It's the typical RPG-style storytelling of walking up to a character, pressing E to talk to them, and then wasting the next 10 minutes selecting dialogue options and watching a medium close up shot of some NPC talking. Again, I know that some people don't have a problem with this. I do. I find it boring and tedious. The only game I don't mind it so much is Cyberpunk 2077 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution & Mankind Divided.

    Lastly, the gameplay. Again, typical, tedious and unoriginal RPG shooter gameplay. Each weapon has a bunch of numbers and every enemy has a rank. Depending on your weapon and the enemy, combat usually involves hosing down enemies until their health bar disappears. I got a lot of flashbacks to when I played Tom Clancy's The Division.

    All in all, the game is an unoriginal, lazy, and boring slog. Certain aspects are fine but unlike titles like the aforementioned Cyberpunk 2077 or the new Deus Ex games, this game doesn't have enough flair or fun factor to keep my interest.

    I am very disappointed with Starfield. It's a very well made game but it lacks the soul of previous Bethesda titles. Starfield didn't grab me like Fallout 4 did. I was so immersed in Fallout 4 and Starfield did the opposite. I played for about ten hours expecting the game to get better but it didn't. The game felt very bland. Also I spent about 30% of the game in loading screens.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 50 hours of play:
    This is not the game of the decade, and not the game of the year. Definitely not.
    This is a $25 half-baked game. A Beta version.
    Zero optimization, crashing sound and picture on a relatively powerful computer. Black screens, no sound, 30 sec delay sound etc. (other games with similar or higher machine requirements run smoothly)
    Usual Bethesda engine bugs, flickering objects but fewer.
    Stupid UI.
    Unkillable main NPCs.
    Fast travel is good you can fast travel everywhere and at least you don't have to look at empty boring ugly pixel piles, no need to wanrering, exploring, no need to look at cut-scenes and it only loads once for minutes, not three or four times.
    The missions are primitive, can be broken, some of them bugged
    The skill system is basically good, but could use a lot of fine tuning.
    The inventory system is not well thought out and breakable.
    E.g. Your ship's cargo hold is full, so you throw away stuff & resoursces on your ship.
    When you rebuild your ship all the stuff on your ship goes into the cargo hold. Ooverloaded it multiple times (but still funcioning).
    Every time you rebuild, the ship's equipment is regenerated. What you can sell in the spaceport kiosk... you rebuild and sell, rebuild and sell again...

    Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
    Tell me lies
    Tell me, tell me lies
    Oh no-no, you can't disguise

    Good because you can easily copy the skyrim mods and soon the game will be playable thanks to the modding community.

    Bon, mon avis prend en compte le budget colossal de 200M d'euros alloué au projet, ainsi que les 7-8 ans de développement.

    Voici une liste des forces et faiblesses :

    Forces :
    - L'écriture, les dialogues, le scénario m'ont plus, les personnages sont crédibles et c'est ce qui m'a fait tenir. C'est clairement le haut du panier dans ce domaine et c'est un savoir-faire Bethesda typique, avec notamment les excellents fallout 3 et NV.

    - L'ost, assez inégale mais généralement de bonne facture et excellente de temps en temps, elle m'a mis dans une bonne atmosphère.

    - Certains panoramas jolies et très agréables à contempler.

    - L'arbre de compétence c'est selon chacun et moi ce genre me plaît.

    Par contre, trop de points négatifs :

    - Depuis des années, la communication tourne autour du gigantisme, de l'espace incroyable, des fameuses 1000 planètes et j'en passe. Et là c'est la douche froide. Pas d'exploration spatiale, et en plus des temps de chargements. Je croyais que la XBX était censée révolutionner cela ? Toujours des paroles. Et ce n'est pas la seule entreprise à se foutre de nous, loin de là.

    - Donc pas d'exploration, à quoi bon passer du temps à personnaliser le vaisseau ? Et sur la planète, pourquoi ne pas avoir un véhicule ? C'est l'enfer de vouloir tout visiter à pieds ou en jet-pack.

    - Des temps de chargement pour entrer dans des bâtiments ? Bienvenue en 2010. De plus chaque temps de chargement dur environ 10 secondes à l'heure où les ssd nous habitue à mieux.

    - Les voix françaises inégales, et cette synchronisation labiale inexistante, c'est quoi encore ça ? De la fainéantise. J'ai dû le mettre en VO car je n'ai pas pu m'y faire ça devenait insupportable. Je rappelle : 200M de budget, le doublage français a été fait, la synchronisation labiale aurait Dû être une formalité.

    - Vu qu'à la sortie de la Xbox où nous vantait la console la plus puissante, pourquoi ne pas avoir le 60 fps ? Ça devrait être une base. Le 30 FPS rend les jeux saccadés quand on s'habitue au 60.
    Le 28fps oui, mais au cinéma. Pas en bej6, soyons sérieux.

    - 3 crashes en 40 heures.

    - Des bugs mais on est habitué avec ce studio.

    À l'heure où l'artistique se lisse de plus en plus (dans le jv, le cinéma, la musique...), il va falloir sérieusement se poser la question côté consommateur et publicitaires/influenceurs qui vendent ce jeu comme étant un chef d'œuvre, de revoir ses jugements. C'est en louant ce genre de jeu (rempli de choses qui, de façon objective, ne vont pas !) que l'industrie va encore plus se lisser et proposer le minimum.

    J'ai pas abordé le point de l'accessibilité mais c'est une honte aussi. Je vois de la flemme de la part du studio.
    Et là où va le JV me fait bien peur pour la suite. Avec des influenceurs vendus qui n'aideront pas.
    Soyez exigeants, car là c'est inquiétant.

    L'autre problème c'est la communication. Chaque AAA sont vendus comme des jeux qui vont tout révolutionner, et manette en mains, la douche froide. Le pognon est roi malheureusement.

    Tá devendo muito! As naves, os trajes e principalmente as armas estão perfeitas, a gameplay também é boa na parte da ação, porém a exploração espacial é pífia, não agrega em nada no jogo, prometeram demais e não entregaram, diálogos muitos chatos não tô aguentando mais, já tô apertando qualquer coisa. Estava ansioso pela exploração nos "1000 planetas" e me decepcionei.

    Sold as a grand RPG experience spanning over a thousand planets, Starfield falls short of offering any sort of unique or distinguishable content over its peers and competitors, opting for the often critiqued approach of quantity over quality at a scale truly never seen before while forgoing the hallmarks Bethesda's best works despite replaying their previous shortcomings.

    Critically, Quests and Exploration have been reduced to little more than fetch quests and checklists, all attempts at motivating you to experience the few dozens of procedurally generated dungeons, lifeforms, enemies and vistas on the many but very limited and conforming landscapes of Starfield, a symptom of the numerous compromises that the Bethesda formula had to go through to support its vast emptiness.

    Unfortunately, it's a poorly executed game, bringing a dated and non-intuitive mechanics. However, the main downside is that it didn't deliver on its promise of free space exploration. Space travel is almost static, and you can't enter a planet's atmosphere or land anywhere. The planets are very similar, most of them having smooth surfaces without caves to explore or oceans and lakes.

Space travel is almost static, and you can't enter a planet's atmosphere or land anywhere. The planets are very similar, most of them having smooth surfaces without caves to explore or oceans and lakes. The absence of natural phenomena on the planets also discourages exploration.

    It has an abundance of items with no explanation of how they can be used, giving the impression that the developers designed the game for a fanbase accustomed to Bethesda games without considering a new audience. Navigation is clunky, not intuitive, and lacks the assistance of a map.

    The combat system is rudimentary and lacks variety, with insufficient ammunition or even the need for ammunition in a futuristic game being a limiting factor that prevents players from experiencing Starfield as they would like.

    Poorly polished and unimpressive NPCs with limited facial expressions make dialogues and the story monotonous. Not to mention the absence of cinematics. The textures of the locations are reminiscent of consoles from two generations ago. The ending is simplistic, lazy, and frustrating.

    Starfield is a game that failed to fully explore the capabilities of Microsoft's console, which is a serious issue coming from a studio owned by the same company. Since its release, owners of Series X and S are still waiting for something that feels like the new generation.

    Companions lack any interesting qualities to make me bother taking them with me.
    The graphics look good for what we expect in 2023 but I have read reviewers speak gospel on these textures, and to be frank I have got the game cranked to the max and it's not breathtaking, It's just nice, the lip sync on dialogue can be spot on, or resemble a dubbed anime with the lips failing to match.

    Exploration, this is just a boring walk across a ProcGen planet outside of the main hub planets, once you've been to one, you've pretty much seen it all.

    Weapons and combat, this lacks any real "meat" to it, enemies are utterly braindead and will stand in the open letting you slot them over and over, when they're not glitching on boxes and loose terrain objects.

    Space Combat is a complete farce, not so much dogfighting as it is either instakilled by higher leveled AI ships or it's a slaughter once you unlock Class C ships.

    I frankly cannot recommend this game, even if you love Fallout or Skyrims offerings, because this offers nothing new.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 50 hours+ in with the main quest completed twice and 2 faction quests fully completed. A very disappointing execution, very bad main story execution, tons of unnecessary travel waiting with no gameplay purpose, really bad world building, effectively 0 meaningful freedom in quests and storyline. Main story quest is effectively just 15 hours of doing the exact same thing over and over again. The worst part is that is that the locations are super generic and uninteresting locations. There is only one good quest in the entire main story quest line that features a research facility that is switching between dimensions. This quest is the only good quest in the game and it’s such a stark contrast against the extremely unambitious delivery for rest of the game.

    Travelling takes forever. I wish this was a fast travel simulator like it’s often mocked for being. The reality is that the travelling is painfully slow despite a 4090 and NVME2 maxed out PC. They add tons of painfully slow landing sequences. You can’t fast travel directly to the planets surface but you must instead travel to its orbit first. You must get scanned for contraband in almost all of the meaningful solar systems which also takes even more time. You also have to wait for you grav drive to power up for upwards of at least 6 seconds out of memory. The worst part is that it serves so little purpose, you almost never get attacked by other spaceships. While any meaningful orbit interactions / quests could’ve been much better executed by just having them appear in the solar system map view as a distress signal. 0 meaningful choice or interesting gameplay in quests. Compared against Cyberpunk the ability to approach a quest in multiple different ways is just non existent. No proper stealth, no different approaches to the objective and instead just a simple speech check at the very end of a quest to skip 10s of combat. Abysmal non existent world building instead of the cool and extensive world building we saw in Fallout 4. The days of exploring the wasteland and coming across tons of cool structures and settings are gone. You got a few small cities that are hard to traverse with not a lot of substance. If you ever hope to come across a cool building with tons of enemies anywhere you’re going to be disappointed. It’s going to be same looking space building facility you see everywhere else. With the same generic 4x4 meter building block set.

    7-8 years of development for this? 66% of the game is spent running in barren planet with 0 meaningful world building and tons of artificially added waiting screens. The rest of the 33% is generic combat with the most linear dialogue and quest options imaginable. To call this game too ambitious is not doing it service. This is a very unambiguous game with even worse delivery.

    As for bugs I encountered 2-3 bugs that soft locked the main quest as important characters would start to float up in the air, etc. in all cases I was able to reload the save and run up to the person I needed to talk to before they floated into the planets atmosphere. Not too bad on this front for a Bethesda game.

    As someone who is a massive fan of fallout new vegas and a big fan of Cyberpunk this was a massive disappointment. The game designs and direction is incredibly outdated and I have to be honest that for Bethesda to be one of only 2 game studios producing massive first person RPGs like this is leaving me sad. If you are new to the genre and not that big of a RPG fan then maybe 6/10 can be a fair rating. But if you are a massive fan of fallout new vegas, fallout 4, Cyberpunk and were hoping for a big leap forward. Then you’re in for the opposite, it’s a far worse experience than even fallout 4. The 4/10 is for the people that never wanted a looter shooter no man’s sky but an actual RPG with a good story and meaningful freedom.

    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.
