    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

    Todd Howard LIED. He promised "unparalleled" freedom in a "next gen" RPG. Bethesda has all the resources and talent in the world but something has gone terribly wrong. The writing and quest design would be considered lazy as of 5 years ago, but in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world this is simply unacceptable from a AAA developer. The character models simply look awful.

    In a space exploration game, you'd assume you can actually explore space right? Wrong. You can't actually fly except in very limited circumstances, and everything else is just a loading screen to hide the limitations of the engine. Except games that are 7 years old had seamless space to atmosphere transitions. The fast travel system completely breaks immersion.

    You know that internal playtesters made all of this clear, Bethesda simply didn't care. They never go more than a few seconds to remind everyone they made Skyrim and Fallout.

    Were the programmers forced to return to the office so they stopped caring? Very, very poor showing from Bethesda. Stay away.    … Expand

    Starfield, el anticipado juego de Bethesda, llegó con muchas expectativas pero dejó mucho que desear en varios aspectos clave. Uno de los puntos más decepcionantes es su motor gráfico, que parece haberse quedado estancado en el pasado, sin aprovechar las capacidades de las consolas y PC modernos. Esto resulta en gráficos anticuados que no hacen justicia a la ambientación espacial.

    El    Starfield, el anticipado juego de Bethesda, llegó con muchas expectativas pero dejó mucho que desear en varios aspectos clave. Uno de los puntos más decepcionantes es su motor gráfico, que parece haberse quedado estancado en el pasado, sin aprovechar las capacidades de las consolas y PC modernos. Esto resulta en gráficos anticuados que no hacen justicia a la ambientación espacial.

    El número limitado de armas disponibles, solo 22 armas, es una elección extraña en un juego que promete exploración espacial y combate. Aunque el sistema de combate podría ser su punto fuerte, la falta de variedad de armamento lo hace monótono con el tiempo.

    La prometida exploración espacial se convierte en una simulación procedural sin profundidad real. La generación procedural puede ser efectiva, pero en este caso, parece más una excusa para no diseñar contenido único y memorable. Las pantallas de carga frecuentes rompen el ritmo del juego y disminuyen la inmersión.

    Starfield repite el ciclo de juego de los juegos de la década de 2000, lo que es decepcionante en un momento en que los estándares de la industria han evolucionado significativamente. La falta de actores de voz y expresiones faciales limita la conexión emocional con los personajes y la historia.

    A pesar de afirmar tener millones de planetas, todos parecen tener el mismo diseño y bases enemigas. Esto disminuye la sensación de descubrimiento y aventura en el espacio infinito. Además, la falta de optimización es inexcusable, con problemas de rendimiento que afectan la experiencia de juego en muchas plataformas.

    En resumen, Starfield se siente como un juego que no ha aprovechado todo su potencial. Aunque puede tener un sistema de combate interesante, sus limitaciones gráficas, falta de contenido variado y problemas técnicos lo convierten en una experiencia frustrante y decepcionante para los fanáticos de Bethesda y los amantes de los juegos espaciales.    … 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.

Leaving that out of the review because of how short it is. Todd Howard really over sold this one. PCs are having problems running it do to poor coding. Todd Howard told them to get a more expensive PC. Dudes on a losing streak. About time to snip him and clown boy Phil Spencer. I’ve had enough of these wasted franchises and they want to charge premium prices for this last gen crap. Money talks people. I’m glad this cost me $0 to play.

    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.

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.    … Expand

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

    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.
