    So many loading screens, Boring quests, 30fps, boring story, boring planets. All the other games maps had heart, 1000 randomly generated "planets" don't. Huge disappointment, but it was expected from how little they showed.

    This game had so much potential and unfortunately I feel like it didn’t live up to the hype. The game feels like a game that should have come out in 2015 not 2023, from loading screens more or less every place you go to the terrible performance with really bad frame drops on certain planets, also 30fps in 2023 on new consoles is totally unacceptable, going from 60fps to this is a eye soreThis game had so much potential and unfortunately I feel like it didn’t live up to the hype.

    The loadscreens and limitations to the "open world" killed immersion for me. The game can look pretty but at times it just looks absolutely horrible. I have this game on gamepass luckily as I would never pay full price for this.

    Combat is horrible ,

    Ai is the worse I ever seen ,

    Missions are pointless. One such example I need to know how to make my coffee better so you gotta steal a tea recipe for the coffeemaker vendor , another mission is a receptionist lost a person’s baggage so you are tasked with finding the baggage which consists of a mug and I’d card ..

    Ship building is pointless , Ship customization pointless ,

    Companions are some of the worse ..

    A laggy buggy mess the game has you think you’re literally teleporting Story is absolutely horrible which I beaten in under 6 hours!

    Fractions are pointless where there is literally no consequence to your actions you can join opposing fractions ..

    This is a loading screen simulator. Bethesda actually created a new genre of game ..

    This is a fast travel simulator you can’t fly anywhere ! You think you’ll explore the stars nope you can’t leave orbit . You think you can land nope you can’t ,

    Enter and exit your ship load screens ..

    Ai absolutely horrifying eating sandwiches and food in helmets ,

    Companions walking out in space were no oxygen. With no gear on !!!!

    Ai standing on chairs , or gathered in clusters , wandering around aimlessly

    No life in this game you actually feel you’re in a game you are pulled out of that reality . This is after 70 plus hours !! The game does not get better after 15 hours it’s the same dam thing !! This game is an utter dumpster fire. And unfortunately I can’t get a refund . For my collector’s edition . Ate dookie with Starfield . I hope this helps another user not make the same mistake as I did ..

    This game story is a sleeper and the combat is lame at start but it gets better as you continue. The main worlds have solid life but other side planets are kinda lame tbh. Some of the scenery and physics are solid also. But the NPC are TERRIBLE, when I pull a gun out and shoot it near people no one reacts they only react if you start killing people as they should.

One of the game's most glaring flaws lies in its limited and fragmented approach to exploration. Players had hoped for seamless journeys across the cosmos, but instead found themselves navigating through a labyrinth of loading screens that break immersion and disrupt the sense of a vast, interconnected universe. The promise of boundless space adventure gave way to a frustrating experience of frequent interruptions, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the wonders of Starfield's galaxy. This aspect leaves many feeling that the game falls short of the expectations set for it in the realm of space travel.x Expand

    After Skyrim, they had 10 years to develop this game. But they haven't developed anything for 10 years. Optimization sucks. The overall game design sucks. NPCs suck. They made the same mistakes in Skyrim and released the game half finished. Why? Because modders can do the work they left unfinished. This game is not 2023 game. This game is 2013 game.

    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.

    I have been looking forward to this game for years and what I have played so far has been fun. Unfortunately, I can only play for 10 to 15 minutes at a time before it crashes to my Xbox home. There are plenty of other people experiencing this same issue and preventing them from playing, but neither Xbox nor Bethesda are providing any sort of support on this.

    This shows how low Xbox players expectations are and how diluted a "AAA" game on the Xbox ecosystem has become, you pay for a cheap rent service you get below average games, starfield is not the win Microsoft needed, it's plagued with loading screens, last gen graphics, massive hype about space travel which didn't materialise... go for the cheap rental service and get rental service quality.

    Starfield é um desapontamento em muitos aspectos. Embora tenha sido anunciado como o próximo grande RPG espacial da Bethesda, o jogo não entrega o que promete. Os gráficos são datados, com texturas de baixa qualidade e problemas de otimização que prejudicam a experiência. A jogabilidade também deixa a desejar, com combates pouco empolgantes e mecânicas de exploração repetitivas. Além disso, a história é genérica e pouco envolvente, deixando-me sem um motivo sólido para continuar jogando. Parece que Starfield foi lançado antes de estar pronto, e isso fica evidente nos inúmeros bugs e problemas técnicos que afetam o jogo. No geral, é uma decepção para os fãs que esperavam um novo marco no gênero de RPG espacial. Eu sinto, bethesda. Eu sinto

And character designs are good though but character animations are outdated. Lifeless NPCs and its faces are horrible everything looks plastic.
    This game is broken mess. You can't travel to another planet directly because when you're about to enter a planet there will bhi loading screen and cut scenes and speaking of loading screens, there are tons of loading screens, I mean every time you enter in a building or any part of the ship there will be long loading screens. You cannot travel through the entire planet there are many segments of a single planet and there are no any vehicles for traveling. This game is Boring and empty, Graphics are so much outdated, looks like Xbox 360 era game. Whole game runs at 30 fps. I would definitely NOT recommend this game to anyone.

I play on PC and have above average rig, so I was pretty upset with the poor performance as well. Indoors I can get 70-80 fps, but as soon as I go outside it’s a slideshow dropping down to 30 sometimes 20. Based entirely of of performance and QoL I cannot recommend this game.

    On to the story, I haven’t finished it yet but if feels uninspired compared to the faction side quests. I absolutely love doing the side quests. They really did do something great with them, it’s just unfortunate that they are better than the main story.

    A exploração desse jogo se resume a selecionar menu, e fazer viagem rápida entre cenários, planetas... chega a ser frustrante como isso quebra completamente a nossa imersão. Isso é tal imersão de nova geração?

    Os planetas são em sua grande maioria repetitivos, e sem absolutamente nada para fazer. O pouco conteúdo que é gerado, são repetitivos e no terceiro planeta vc já não vai querer vistar mais nenhum.

    Era bem melhor ter feito apenas um sistema solar, mas que a gente pudesse pelo menos voar entre os planetas, entrar na atmosfera...

    Enfim, só de lembrar eu já fico com raiva. Eu espero muito que a Bethesda abandone esse motor gráfico ultrapassado, e comece a usar a Unreal 5. Se TES vier tão baixa renda igual esse Starfield, vai ser outro fracasso.

The combat is no different than fallout 4s. While they did improve the dialogue it wasn’t any different than oblivion. The beginning of the game makes no sense and they give you an entire free space ship for no reason. The story was bland but also the bugs are major issue which caused this score. Basic thinks like reaching through locked containers all the way up to wild looking characters ruining immersion. I’m also not a fan at all of the pronouns selection or seeming proliferation of homosexual characters and quest lines. For all these reasons and just a sloppy feeling game I think it deserves a 0. I think this will be the one and only 0 from BGS, or at least I hope. Major changes are needed if we are going to have a good elder scrolls 6 because this is not the right direction. Expand

The character customization is mediocre at best which is very confusing as Bethesda has made character customization time and time again yet they cannot deliver a robust and detailed customization system. Most of all this game is hard to look at let alone play because of the egregious lack of smoothness. Exclusive to Xbox Series X, yet it failed to run at 60 FPS. Terrible 30 FPS gameplay that commonly dips below 30. Seamless space exploration was promised yet there are fast travel points and boundaries preventing you from truly exploring space. This is one of many examples of how the game was overhyped and over promised yet it failed to deliver. This game truly is an insult to gamers. Expand

    Perk system is awful, blocking you from leveling up perks until you do some stupid challenge.
    I leveled up, let me choose a **** perk i want.

    When shooting I feel like I'm playing games on my grandpas box TV in the guest bedroom, and its got like a two second input delay on movie mode.

    I'm using a 360hz monitor By the way and still feels like ass i cant imagine what it feels like for the regular players. You cant optimize a game for the 1% of people who are lucky enough to have the hardware.

    And no menu settings like FOV... **** FOV... Todd is on that **** ZAZA

    They could have explored so many cool sci-fi/space settings (such as those found in shows like The Expanse, Babylon 5, Star Trek, etc.) but no they just wanted to do the most milk toast generic trash possible. A literal unread toilet scrubber could write a better setting than this garbage.

    Zero effort went into planet design / procedural generation. Examples: anywhere you land on earth is a flat desert…land in the Andes? Flat desert, land in Maria trench? Flat desert. Mount Everest? Flat desert, o by the way, empire state building survived…. How.. JUST HOW. The devs know that is one of the first planets players are going to visit right… right!???

    The guns all feel like TRASH and enemies are nothing but bullet sponges and little to no AI at all.

    There is literally no exploration at all - just loading screens and fast traveling everywhere. (As many other reviews have pointed out).

    So sad to see this game release in such a state - an embarrassment for Microsoft and Bethesda. Worst 100$ I have ever spent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why my first review was deleted from Metacritic. Absolutely incomprehensible! I gave it a 1/10 rating, as I believe this reflects the quality of this game. I am extremely disappointed. This is not a fanboy review, I actually played the game extensively.

    In particular, the promise that Starfield would be a game for explorers was not kept. The majority of the planets are empty. Exploring these planets is dominated by boredom. The story is also quite shallow and of no particular quality. The graphics are mostly outdated and have nothing to do with next-gen. The character models are often very ugly. Overall, there is no immersion, which is also due to the fact that you have to click through various menus very often and landing on planets manually isn't possible.

    If this review is deleted again, I will rate the game again and again. It cannot be that opinions and views are suppressed here. I am a buyer of this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have to say, Starfield left me thoroughly unimpressed. With all the hype surrounding this game, I was expecting an epic space adventure that would transport me to new worlds and dazzle me with innovative gameplay. Unfortunately, what I got was a bland and uninspiring experience.

    Firstly, let's talk about the graphics. In this day and age, I expected Starfield to offer breathtaking visuals, considering the game's focus on interstellar travel. However, the graphics were subpar, filled with pixelation, muddy textures, and lackluster environments. It was a disappointment to explore various planets that all looked oddly similar, lacking unique characteristics or visual variety.

    The gameplay mechanics were equally underwhelming. Starfield promised a seamless blend of exploration, combat, and trading, but everything felt clunky and poorly executed. The controls were unresponsive and often frustrating, making simple tasks feel like a chore. The combat lacked depth and innovation, feeling like a basic copy-paste job from countless other generic space-themed games.

    Moreover, the storyline did little to capture my interest. The narrative felt weak and poorly developed, with forgettable characters and predictable plot twists. The quests lacked originality and failed to provide compelling motivations to keep playing.

    Another major letdown was the lack of multiplayer or any form of robust online interaction. Starfield claimed to offer a universe filled with countless players to engage with, but it felt incredibly empty and lonely. There was no sense of community or shared experiences, which made the vastness of space feel more like a desolate wasteland.

    Finally, the technical issues were abundant. From frequent crashes and game-breaking bugs to long loading times, Starfield felt like a rushed and poorly optimized product. It's evident that Bethesda prioritized releasing the game quickly rather than ensuring a polished and enjoyable experience for players.

    In conclusion, Starfield fails to meet the expectations set by its ambitious marketing campaign. Lackluster graphics, clunky gameplay, unremarkable storytelling, and technical issues all contribute to a disappointing gaming experience. Save your credits and explore other galaxies in more engaging and well-executed space-themed games.

From the moment I started playing, it became painfully clear that the game was riddled with technical issues. Glitches, crashes, and frame rate drops were constant companions, making any attempt at immersion a frustrating exercise in patience.

    The graphics, touted as a selling point, were underwhelming at best. Textures were muddy, character models lacked detail, and environments felt sterile and lifeless. The supposed vastness of space was reduced to a series of bland and repetitive backdrops, failing to capture the awe-inspiring beauty that one would expect from a game set in the cosmos.

    The story, a core element of any role-playing game, was equally disappointing. The plot lacked depth and coherence, with poorly developed characters spouting generic dialogue that did little to engage me. Choices felt inconsequential, and the moral dilemmas presented were shallow and unconvincing. It was as if the developers had hastily thrown together a narrative without putting in the effort to create a truly captivating universe.

    Even the gameplay mechanics left much to be desired. The controls were clunky and unresponsive, leading to frustrating combat encounters and awkward movement. The exploration aspect, which should have been a highlight given the game's setting, felt like a chore due to the lack of meaningful discoveries and the prevalence of repetitive fetch quests.

    To make matters worse, the game's performance issues were compounded by a lack of optimization. Loading times were excruciatingly long, and the overall experience was marred by constant loading screens, further detracting from any sense of immersion.

    In the end, Starfield on Xbox feels like a rushed and unfinished product that was pushed out the door to capitalize on the hype surrounding it. It's a prime example of a game that had potential but was ultimately squandered by a combination of technical shortcomings, lackluster design, and a general lack of polish. As a long-time fan of both RPGs and space exploration games, I can't help but feel deeply disappointed by what could have been a standout title in both genres.

Combat is just as bad to the point I didn't even bother searching for cover, just walk up to the enemy and empty clip in their face. Rince repeat. Load screens happen every other room, place or space you enter. Fast travel is a complete joke. Why even have a spaceship if you're just going to have us fly towards a low res cutout of a planet.jpg. Let's not even get started on the woke propaganda throw in. They/them seriously? Keep your American political nonsense to your own home.

    Then the strange overtly positive reviews and comments about this game plastered all over forums. All saying the same one liners with no substance. "Amazing!" "Had a blast!" "I've put (insert amount of hours here) and love it!"

    Bit obvious that these are either AI bot accounts or people who've been paid to spread such absolute nonsense.

Npcs don't even board the trains again just walking in circles until you turn around and they magically dissappear. This is supposed to be next Gen yet it can't even do what oblivion did many years ago. Why remove all the features from the old games and instead add quantity over quality? Npcs repeat their lines over and over and it's very noticeable since they only have a few lines of dialog before they start repeating. The space exploration is non existent. You cannot fly the ship off of a planet and fly to another but it's instead all done by pointing and clicking to fast travel. Again no immersion at all. No man's sky actually meets you seamlessly fly from ground to space to another planet all in real time and this next Gen game can't even do it. It's very boring. The graphics also look like an Xbox one game. This game was designed for that system and not the series x and it truly shows. They lied and said this was an rpg with you having ultimate freedom but that's another sweet little lie (out of hundreds) from Todd Howard. Thankfully the game is on game pass so you don't have to waste your money on such a big let down lie if a game. Xbox has fumbled that football yet again after halo infinite and red fall. More like red fail and starfailed. I was more excited for this game than anyone and literally oblivion and skyrim let you do so many things that this game doesn't have like the npcs having schedules and not just walking in circles doing nothing. The game is also riddled with loading screens for literally everything you do. And they aren't just short load screens they're very long. Try it on game pass or just wait a long time and hopefully Bethesda can fix and add all the things they left out. Expand

    They managed to release a space game without spaceship exploration, planets, or an open world.

    Starfield is the embodiment of 'tried to do too much and ended up doing nothing right.'

    It's like they handed Skyrim space gear and said, 'Fly, my Dragonborn!' but forgot to give it wings or a functional jetpack.

    Open World:
    Starfield is a stale, soulless “world,” that feels disconnected.

    Everything is locked behind a loading screen and the game doesn't have an "open world" to navigate and experience. You jump from objective to objective via the UI like some sort of CoD Campaign. You are not in control of flying your ship between systems, landing your ship, departing from settlements, attempting risky docking to board other ships. Everything is a fast travel cut-scene initiated via a key-bind or through the confusing UI.

    You read that right. There is no traveling, landing, or exploring to do on your own. When you are “in orbit” around a “planet” you can’t go anywhere; no matter how long you fly for you are no closer to the planet you see ahead of you than before. That’s because being “in orbit” around a “planet” only serves as a “placeholder;” an enclosed waiting zone to open the UI and choose where to fast travel next. There is no open space to navigate. Everything is done via cutscenes which only make you hungry for more. Why can’t I fly my ship wherever I want to in a System? Why can’t I manually find a spot on a planet and land there myself? One click on the map and you suddenly teleport to Neon city. Where is the awe of discovering it by yourself through exploration?

    This makes Starfield feel more like a collection of maps/dungeons with no clear link between each other, rather than a connected and breathing world. It's like playing Skyrim, but you are only allowed to teleport between dungeons through the map interface - without the open world in-between.

    Cities:
    Like space, cities feel disconnected and non-immersive. New Atlantis, for instance, is not even a unified city. Instead, cities are split into various parts requiring you to fast travel between each district. Other than soulless “citizen” NPCs walking aimlessly around with no schedule, nothing of interest is going on to justify having so many loading screens.

    In addition, almost every single building or shop has a loading screen to access, which is very weird since 90% of buildings with interiors are basically just an empty lobby with one shopkeeper. This makes simple fetching quests a nightmare. You have to go through 5 different loading screens just to deliver a package from one part of the city to another.

    Spaceship:
    It feels like they wasted all these resources for the Spaceship builder, yet neglected adding gameplay that will make your spaceship meaningful. Space traveling, planet exploration, landing/docking mechanics, and fuel planning - just to name a few. As it stands right now, your spaceship is just a storage locker between your UI fast travels. It is so tedious to fast travel that you may end up not seeing your spaceship for hours during a playthrough, since you instantly teleport to the selected locations and spawn outside your ship. To see your ship and add “immersion,” you would need to add 3 more loading screens to your fast travels. Pointless, since you have no control over anything. You only get to watch the game do everything for you via cutscenes.

    Combat:
    It’s… working. Like in any basic first-person shooter game. There are no “classes” or anything else that will make you think “Damn, on my next playthrough I am gonna play as X and Y.” You can tell by the Skill Points you get to allocate that all Traits offer small bonuses to combat (e.g., deal 10% more damage with Pistols) that add no distinctive gameplay or new combat mechanics. They are just… flat bonuses to damage, health, persuasion, ship damage. Class-wise, the only option you have would be to either play a ranged build or a (hardly viable) melee build. That’s it.

    Outpost Building:
    Barebones and clunky. We will most probably see paid DLCs adding props and things to expand building, like they did with Fallout 4 (they released 3 paid workshop DLCs).

    Land Vehicles:
    Yep, they did it too. The only way of traversing is by foot – no land vehicles/rovers exist in the future. Fast Traveled to a planet in a super-ship? Now you need to jog like clown for 1200m in a barren and empty wasteland just to reach an enemy encampment. Be careful not to go too far or you’ll hit an invisible wall.

    Story:
    As soon as you launch the game, you are given a ship, a place to stay, and suddenly a full organization blindly trusts you – which is very off-putting. This feels like a big “roleplaying” part of the game is cutout.

    Graphics:
    Starfield feels like a texture-enhancement Fallout 4 mod. There is little improvement between Starfield and Fallout 4.

    What's that saying? Wide as an ocean but shallow as a puddle. The 30 fps is a nightmare. Well that is starfield, except it not even wide. The game is a bunch of small maps tied together through menus, you don't fly from planet to planet. You can't even explore to far as the map ends. Even worse these tiny maps are just random generation environments with the same 3 or 4 dull activitiesWhat's that saying? Wide as an ocean but shallow as a puddle. The 30 fps is a nightmare. Well that is starfield, except it not even wide. The game is a bunch of small maps tied together through menus, you don't fly from planet to planet. You can't even explore to far as the map ends. Even worse these tiny maps are just random generation environments with the same 3 or 4 dull activities randomly scattered across the map/planet. Scan, scan some more, scan some more and occasionally do dome shooting and lasering same thing and the enemies just run at you and stand in front of you. Or just randomly run from random points. At first I was enjoying the game learning the system , but after 10 hours I was just doing the same thing over and over on similar looking areas. This all might be OK if the story and characters carried you through, but its all modern cringe writing with this ugly unappealing characters we find in so many modern games. After not long I was just skipping dialogue in hopes I could enjoy the game systems..But its just shallow. Leveling is just picking perks, that's it! and then there are few generic crafting chores. Basic stuff where you can't build nothing until you pick the perk then you can use some of that useless junk that weighs you down to make more useless junk cause the game still has to be fair if you dont do crafting.
    At first I liked the combat but after not long your just fighting the same red human dudes and handful of alien animals that a spread across all the planet/maps.
    Off course then there the woke stuff. Yeh it's all there and it's and crap as it always is.Ugly unappealing chicks everywhere , female empowerment with all leaders being butch and manly woman.. Averting the male gaze. Even the one attractive girl that is your companion is made unappealing by sounding like an irritating posh 70 year old.
    I got 15 hour and could go any further, it's just boring.

    Нет русского языка. Я не могу нормально поиграть в игру в которой нет русского языка!

    There is no Russian language. I can't normally play a game that doesn't have Russian!

    The game looks just awful regardless of settings and has incredibly dated mechanics with load screens everywhere.

    It's not like this game has a story or characters that compensate. Calling the writing mediocre would be more than a little charitable. You're surely gonna be rolling your eyes more than just a few times at some of the characters and dialogue.

    A very shallow game, you have no real reason to explore in this game, there is nothing but emptyness. I guess space can be like that, but that doesn't excuse how bad a game it is . Also a lot of loading screens just to load into small areas. Not a great experience. But thankfully I was able to get a refund, otherwise would have given a 0.

    Such a massive disappointment. I didn’t even go into with huge expectations. I thought it would be Fallout in space, but the game couldn’t even live up to that hope.

It’s just bland; TES and Fallout have their own feel and Starfield just feels like… nothing. You spend your time navigating menus to get to procedurally generated worlds that feel empty and devoid of any creativity just to mine resources while constantly over encumbered. It’s not fun, it’s not engaging, and I regret spending a single dollar on this awful experience. Expand

    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.
