    This game is a quintessential Bethesda RPG. The world is massive there is so much to do and get distracted with. There are clear developments since Fallout 4. As of writing this I am approximately 80 hours in. I have completed all of 4 Main story missions and only 1 faction questline there is so much to do.

There are clear developments since Fallout 4. As of writing this I am approximately 80 hours in. I have completed all of 4 Main story missions and only 1 faction questline there is so much to do. Much like other Bethesda RPGs there are so many ways to play. The replayability of this game seems to be massive. The combat is the best from Bethesda its on part with the likes of Outerworlds or Mass Effect Andromeda, that style of combat. The exploration is pretty decent, it's a blend between Bethesda hand crafted and No Man's Sky procedural generated environments. It's not endless, though I haven't experienced it, I have heard it is possible to have repeated locations but that seems low chance. By far the best parts of the game are the random encounters in systems off the beaten path. It's not all sunshine and rainbows I've encountered some bugs nothing major or game breaking 1 bugged questline because I accidentally destoryed the target before starting the quest & some funny moments nothing that won't be solved with a patch. A highly addictive game great fun. if you like Bethesda games you probably like this. If you think its more like Star citizen or no man's sky but with a detailed story you'll probably be disappointed. Expand

    This game is soooo fun! Bethesda games have a learning curve. You have to learn and adapt as you discover the new world you are now a part of. If you've never played a Bethesda game before and don't understand this, it can be very frustrating for a new player. The game and universe really opens up after a period of gameplay.

The game and universe really opens up after a period of gameplay. Took me 8 hours or so, and I knew what to expect. Now....40 hours in, this game is a blast and I've barely scratched the surface of what can be done. I've had laugh out loud moments, moments that are very touching, and moments just trying to stay alive. The combat is very well done. But just remember, the game is far more in depth that most even understand. The only way to keep discovering this games goodness is to peel back the layers, one at a time. Bethesda has a ton of haters and I know many negative reviews come from people who will hate, no matter what. And their games aren't for everyone, but for me....total believable immersion into a brand new world. What I've always loved about their previous games. And this one has not disappointed. Expand

    Para mi ha sido una grata sorpresa ya que últimamente solo he visto decepciones en la industria del videojuego. Una vez que vas entendiendo el juego y sus mecánicas más me gusta. Es un juego de rol brutal.

    Amazing game with amazing gameplay and exploration, I love the missions and the rewards were worth foing them, I love how whenever I play and go to a place in my way I hear people talking and suddenly a mission pops up, it feels like the people are real and they interact with you.

    I have to say it: I am a massive PS-Fanboy (if thats what it is called these days). I bought myself an XBOX Series S just for this game, een though I am enjoying the console on a wider range.
    Whats to say about Starfield? Was the purchase worth it?
    I can understand that there are people disappointed, in generel there are a lot of things which could have been better or where you just can

    I can understand that there are people disappointed, in generel there are a lot of things which could have been better or where you just can see the missed potential.
    BUT
    The game itself, the universe, the gameplay, the exploration (yes, even on the empty planets), your oppurtunities to engage with the world, I think it is really amazing and I can just recommend it!
    Looking forward to some patches and the mods, which hopefully are coming to the S as well.

    I could spend hours here describing how realistic the game is, how well the characters are crafted and how well the story is written. But who cares?

You shouldn't give so much importance to user ratings or media, but rather do your own analysis of whether the game has elements that appeal to you and then subscribe to GamePass for a month to test the game and see if you like it. Draw your own conclusions, don't let yourself be influenced by anyone, not even me. Expand

    One-of-a-kind experience. If you have criminal record, a faction (like FBI), might come and recruit you, asking you to be their undercover. You can, battleship fight them when they try to pull you, or you can choose to go with'em. During the interview, you can choose not to help'em, pay your fine and walk out, you can accept their offer, or you can start gun blazing.

    For those who give 0 or 4 stars cus you can't fly through the atmosphere... thx god you are not a game developer.

    Your wanna fly down to the surface? It'd be a boring trip! Would you wanna spend money on something majority don't care, and won't even try?
    One or 2 youtubers might try it, but I'll bet, he/she will never do it again. It's life wasting.

    Would you prefer to fly 20 hours (20 years?, 20 light years?) from planet A to planet B (meantime, it's just a boring flight)?
    Or would you prefer, like in a movie, take off, cut, entering a planet, cut, landed, cut, shows that you've "traveled"?

    On a planet, you wanna go to A, but you are at the opposite side of the location. You sure you wanna fly there? Have your even been to overseas? You know how freaking tiring it is to fly 10+hours right?

    I'd prefer "load".

    I never really liked the type of universes Bethesda made in previous games, but now with Sci-FI I find it interesting. The gameplay is great as well. Great story and a lot of things to do that are also optional. I think it's great that you can mostly skip space travel when you're not into it. It's great that everything is voiced and I find facial animations great as well.

    The more i play the more i learn to appreciate it. from the story mode to exploring any planet on many solar systems! I love how the game feels old yet new, it definitely keeps the fallout/bethesda vibe there! I recommend this game to anyone on XBOX/PC & for those not on either one of those i feel bad!!

    Eu simplesmente não sei quando vou terminar Starfield.
    Estou focando nas missões secundarias e na exploração dos planetas e luas. Saboreando cada descoberta nova sem pressa e sem cobrança.
    Vou criando minha estória. Totalmente focado em ser um andarilho em busca não de destinos, mas de jornadas.

    Rivalutato dopo molte ore di gioco. I personaggi non vengono bene con il motore grafico Creation Engine, è ora che vada in pensione, non voglio vedere The Elder Scroll 6 con questo motore grafico, gradirei un Unreal Engine 5.3

    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.
