    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.

    It’s sad to see how tv shows, games and movies are turning into. All politics and forcing their politics into games now. Very disappointing. Also Starfield you can’t drive into the planet like NMS. Also the 1000 planets are basically copy and pasted and boring and lifeless. Would have scored it higher if they didn’t add their politics in the character creation.

    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 NPCs are terribly stupid, quests are not interesting and there are a lot of loading screens, outdated graphics, the game is not optimized.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...

    Starfield for Xbox left me thoroughly disappointed. Despite the anticipation, the game fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The promised immersive space exploration experience is marred by numerous bugs and technical issues. From crashes to texture pop-ins, the game feels unpolished and rushed.

    The story, touted as a grand interstellar epic, falls flat. It lacks depth and fails to engage players in a meaningful way. Characters are one-dimensional and their interactions feel forced. The dialogue choices, while promising, often lead to inconsequential outcomes, rendering the player's decisions insignificant.

    Graphically, Starfield does not meet the expectations set by modern gaming standards. The visuals are underwhelming, with subpar textures and lack of attention to detail. Environments lack variety and fail to capture the awe-inspiring wonder of space exploration.

    The gameplay mechanics also leave much to be desired. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, leading to frustrating combat encounters and navigation. The crafting and customization systems are convoluted, making it hard to engage with the game's mechanics in a meaningful way.

    Furthermore, the game's open-world structure feels empty and devoid of life. While space should be teeming with opportunities for discovery and excitement, Starfield's universe feels barren and monotonous. The lack of dynamic events or emergent gameplay further exacerbates the issue, leaving players with a sense of emptiness.

    In conclusion, Starfield for Xbox is a prime example of unfulfilled potential. It falls short in nearly every aspect, from technical execution to narrative depth and gameplay mechanics. For a game that promised to take players on an unforgettable journey through the stars, it ultimately delivers a forgettable and lackluster experience.

The game's technical issues are impossible to ignore, with frequent crashes and game-breaking bugs plaguing the gameplay. Even when it does run smoothly, the graphics are underwhelming, failing to capture the majesty of space exploration.

    The gameplay mechanics feel clunky and unpolished, making it difficult to immerse oneself in the supposed grandeur of interstellar travel. The controls lack responsiveness, and the combat system is frustratingly simplistic, reducing encounters to repetitive button mashing.

    Despite the expansive universe promised, the game's world-building falls flat. The planets lack diversity, feeling more like reskins of one another rather than distinct and captivating worlds. The NPCs offer little depth, their interactions often coming across as robotic and scripted.

    Perhaps the most disappointing aspect is the narrative. The story fails to engage, lacking the intrigue and emotional investment that one would expect from a space-faring epic. Characters are forgettable, and the plot twists are predictable at best.

    In an era where open-world games are pushing boundaries, Starfield feels like a relic. It's a missed opportunity to create a captivating space odyssey, instead delivering a subpar experience that fails to live up to its ambitious premise. This game is a cautionary tale of how hype can lead to crushing disappointment.

Unfortunately, once you get the hang of it you realize how rinse-and-repeat the “exploration” is in this game. Drop to the waypoint, walk about 400 meters to the destination, enter a copy-pasted cave or facility, finish the objective. Rinse. Repeat. The lack of traversal options on-planet before you reach the 400 meter destination is an absolute slog. Locking gameplay features behind skill trees is frustrating as well, especially given the fact that you are unable to respec your character. Bethesda-standard physics jank and uncanny valley lip sync have not improved since Fallout 4. Pretty unsurprising at this point. I didn’t have high hopes given Bethesda’s recent offerings.

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.

    There is a fundamental lack of creativity and risk taking here. The game is disappointing, not because it fails at materializing its vision, but because of how poor the vision is in the first place.

    Technically speaking, there is no space exploration to be found anywhere, rather an endless concatenation of ad nauseum loading screen, and fetch quests.

    It's not just the excessive loading screens, it's all the little details like having proper city maps or a better UI with more information for inventory. Half our time playing should not be spent in menus organizing our inventory and fighting the game mechanics.

    I won't even mention all the bugs and terrible animations, they speak for themselves.

    The sad part is that in a few years some things will likely get patched in, but by that point it would be completely useless as I have already beaten the game and have no desire to play it again.

    AAA games with this much money behind it should be shipped completely polished and finished. And now developers/publishers can't hide behind the COVID excuse, so this game was simply shipped this way because the stubborn heads at Bethesda/Microsoft decided to release it like this.

    They completely failed to live up to all the hype and expectations that they set themselves.

They slightly upgrade the graphics, but it's the same bland story, boring characters with no facial expressions and an empty lifeless open world.

    Starfield is possibly the most disappointing game of this generation. It doesn't know what it wants to be a space sim or an rpg, as a result what you get is a small version of superior titles. Not to mention the horrible facial animations, and empty worlds. The only redeeming factor is you can basically play it for $1 on Gamepass.

    I'm about 90 minutes in and I have not encountered a single key moment, a single line of meaningful dialogue, a single story element that piqued my interest, a single NPC that made me give a damn about them, or a single part of the game that made me go "wow, this is fun".

    What little battles I have gotten into against enemies isn't anything new or different than from any other single player shooter I have played over the years. I'm sure it gets deeper the more I play it, but I'm not gonna force myself to endure much more of this boring slog of a game to get to that point, so for now I'm just gonna put it down.

    This isn't 2010. A video game cannot get by from just having "nice graphics" anymore. It needs to have a purpose. It needs to have a reason to play it. It needs to be fun. It needs to be interesting and engaging.

    Starfield is none of that. It's the same old boring formula Bethesda has been using in their games since the days of Morrowind. The same robotic NPC AI and lifeless stare-ito-your-soul look on their faces as they half-assedly deliver whatever boring-ass dialog they're supposed to give you. This game FEELS like it was made in 2010, despite it being so "graphics hungry" that it's locked to 30fps on the current generation Xbox. Something that is inexcusable considering how powerful the Xbox Series X is supposed to be.

    I'm glad they put this on the Ultimate Game Pass, because I feel sorry for anyone who actually spent real money on this trashpile.

    2+ years Bethesda has been hyping this game as being the next big thing. It may be big. It may be a thing. But that's about all it is. A Great Big Waste of Time.

    So congratulations on making your so-called "Skyrim in Space", because it's exactly that in all the worst possible ways.

    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.
