    Starfield is Bethesda's Magnum Opus.
    A true masterclass in RPGs, Starfield offers the largest game world I have ever experienced, with interesting sights and activities around every corner.

    Starfield has cemented itself firmly in my list of top five games of all time!

    Only reason I give it a 9 is bc load screens can become too much. However you kinda get used to it and learn tricks to avoid them. Hopefully it is fixed at some point otherwise this game is a masterpiece and the more you play the better it gets!! I just love it

    I can understand that a game isn't for everyone but some of the really low review scores on here are disingenuous suggesting its an unplayable game which couldn't be further from the truth.

    I've never been so sure of a 9/10 and that's exactly what it is, ignore the click bate that surrounds this game in negativity and go try it for yourself.

Después de haber jugado casi 40hrs puedo decir que es una gran juego, para los que dicen que no tienen algún fondo los personajes es porque simplemente no lo han jugado, ya que conforme vas avanzando te empiezan a decir varias cosas de su pasado, la historia y las misiones secundarias (facciones) también tienen sus momentos que te dejan con el deseo de saber qué es lo que pasa después, sus gráficos en general son buenos, la ambientación de cada planeta que contiene vida es muy distinto entre ellos, lo único malo por así decirlo es que está con el tope de los 30fps Expand

    I wasn't sure if it could be done, but Bethesda has managed to raise the bar for sandbox games even higher. In the end, Starfield is a genre-defining epic open-world RPG with a beautifully immersive universe, a captivating story, and fun and addicting gameplay the whole way. I'm so happy to have experienced Starfield organically without any spoilers, and I really hope you get to as well.

    Ellos no buscan crear un simulador de exploración galáctico ni nada tan grande como eso, sino que ellos así como en el resto de sus IPs lo que quieren es crear una historia que enganche a partir del momento en que abres tu mente a seguir hacia adelante; es verdad que el tema de los mundos explorables es bastante escueto por no decir cansino ya que no suelen tener gran cosa en ellos, pero a veces la realidad pega muy duro incluso en juegos de ciencia ficción donde, seamos honestos solemos esperar experimentar cantidades ingentes de elementos jugables y eventos que seguramente se escapan aun de lo que casi cualquier pieza de hardware actual podría soportar sin caer por debajo de los 20 fps en calidad gráfica baja.
    por todo lo demás no hay mucho que añadir, es un juego de bethesda desarrollado por bethesda el cual cumple con creces las expectativas reales que bastante gente esperabamos. ¿Que, acaso te creíste el clickbait de un Youtuber/tiktoker/twittero que decía que se había filtrado que el juego te dejaría aterrizar de forma 100 en tiempo real en el juego? ¿Seguro que no se invento eso para llamar la atención de unos cuantos mentes blandas en internet? que va, eso nunca pasa.
    a todo esto, recalcando, es bueno tener expectativas sobre cualquier cosa, la cuestión es saber medirlas conforme al contexto completo del evento/situación/suceso que vaya a ocurrir, ya que como sabemos el que mucho abarca poco aprieta y generalmente la gente tiene una facilidad para inflarse la cabeza con cosas que seguramente no van a pasar que ya podría competir con la propia luz en ver quien es mas rápido.
    Para concluir, admito que las pantallas de carga y menús del juego son muchas más en cantidad comparados a otras entregas de bethesda, pero igualmente, para lo poco que tienden a durar no le veo un problema que se pueda decir arruine monumentalmente la experiencia del juego y los bugs, pues ahí están, ya para este punto se les podrían considerar como parte de la marca registrada de bethesda, aunque eso sí, la cantidad de los mismos es sustancialmente menor al promedio, por lo que se puede decir que es el juego "mejor pulido" que nos hayan entregado en bethesda

A lot of games don’t have doors. You can open an item so you could pick up literally everything you want you could steal anyone you want you could kill the game gives you so much freedom. The only drawback is the exploration.

    I dont know if it is a game of the decade but it is for sure something new from scratch and this year only BG3 can compete, but these are so different games that they should not run in the same race.

    At the end game is very good but not for me. BG3, also I never liked BG serie. and now turn based - bleeee.
    I encourage everyone to try Starfieldt on GP, on the PC or cloud if net is good enough.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox, PlayStation and a Switch. I prefer PlayStation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the GameInformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    Upon writing , I have 50 hours of play time on Steam and 15 hours on Xbox. During my first 20 hours of playing, I was not a happy camper. I was getting annoyed with the constant loading screens, and the constant walking on worlds that had repeated content in the procedurally generated worlds. For example I kept on seeing the same cave, mine, animals, plants, and/or, outpost setup that these knew planets I was visiting didn't seem very different from each other. I ended up not letting myself go to random planets and started to only follow the main mission and side missions and I started liking the game a lot more and wanted to keep going. The handcrafted parts of the game was a breath of fresh air to me and turned my initial worry about the game around. I enjoy the space flight but wish we could travel to other planets manually, I get not being able to enter planets without a cutscene but I was expecting to be able to fly in space more than just specific areas. You pretty much have to fast travel everywhere and it ruins the journey for me. Of course, I wouldn't want to manually go everywhere all the time but here and there I would. I haven't ran into any major bugs and the miner ones I did run into would just be enemies glitching into the ground slightly and the characters not looking at you in conversation. Basically, I'm enjoying the story and side stories but besides how many planets there are, the outpost building, and ship building, this game is on par with the Mass Effect Series and most of those games were from two generations ago that accomplished most of the same things. I don't think this game is a masterpiece but it's worth the time to play.

    Como fan de Fallout el juego me gusta mucho. Tiene carencias pero como juego de rol es completo y perfecto. Como juego de exploración es deficiente...

    Salt warning! As many already know, there has been an extensive review bombing campaign going on for weeks before this game even released. Some people are fanboys for PlayStation and hate cause it’s Xbox, some are Bethesda haters that just want anything Bethesda does to be hated, and some are just trolls.

    However in case anyone who sees this didn’t already know, check the steam reviews

    However in case anyone who sees this didn’t already know, check the steam reviews for more reliable reviews. At the time of writing, starfield has an 82 on steam. Considering that steam reviews are verified, this is a much better metric to go by.

    In summary… metacritic is still the same, unreliable metacritic as always.

I've put in almost 50 hours already and was hooked on the first. the endless exploration doesn't feel so "one and done" and it highly rewards you for it, the combat (both space and planet side) feels impactful, and the environment is phenomenal - more than once I thought something was going toit's hard to find a game that does time travel both in game and IRL but Starfield is just that.

    I wish I could give this game a 100. for obvious reasons! As a gamer, when I spend money on something, I obviously want it to be a sure fire winner, to be amazing! etc. (without modders having to pick up the slack on PC)

    Anyways, so we've landed at a very realistic 8 out of 10. (I'd give an 8.5) if possible. (On the series X) I don't regret my purchase. I do wish things were slightly

    Anyways, so we've landed at a very realistic 8 out of 10. (I'd give an 8.5) if possible. (On the series X)

    I don't regret my purchase. I do wish things were slightly different though!

    The game has a lot going for it as far providing a space adventure, the problem is, you have to dig through the "cluster cluck of menu's" and it's not a simple "tab over" page... It's this "Convoluted system" anytime you go to check out some critical bit of information. To me I feel like I'm fighting with the menus UI, at inconvenient times. Which makes matters worse.

    You also have to level up a bunch of stuff, just to have fun, messing around with ship designs.. & well that takes the fun out of things to be honest.. I can understand maybe engine upgrades, weapon upgrades, but to have to level up just to tinker with ship layout & design? That's a stale experience quick.

    You can't easily check out your location on a map, with 1 press of the "Select button".. (The button with 2 boxes on it on xbox controller)

    The local maps, on planets suck.

    Like I've spent so much time running around New atlantis lost (Compass/local maps again lacking).. It's not realistically designed.. It needs to be a "Space port".. as in I land & all the businesses, etc, that I'd deal with, need to be RIGHT THERE... Must have been a gov. sponsored civil engineer on the design team? that was like "lets spread everything out in a way that causes the player misery"...?

    The reason I say this, is just b/c SPACE is ALREADY HUGE.. Its fun at times, boring at others. Traveling that is.

    It's MORE ANNOYING than fun or even remotely realistic...

    It's cool to have atmosphere.. but if shops/businesses/Cities were tidy & tucked in, I believe it would give a "comforting" vibe instead of.. the joy of loading screens? (that's satire on the loading screen bit) (Like for example, I really like the Mars city of cydonia in a way, from a design layout point of view but I have to travel too far to get to shops where I need stuff)

    Speaking of which, it feels like there's too many loading screens?

    Anyways, like I said, the game has a lot of cool stuff going on, weapon wise, gameplay wise possibilities. I really wanted a better method of traversal over land instead of just the "jet pack".. even upgrading it max. I still have to walk like 1000's of kilometers just to check out an empty stupid cave.. or some other weird landmark that doesn't reward me..

    Basically a lot of cool possibilities exist, or potentially exist & Bethesda got in the way of the player having a really awesome time. To start out.. the experience is this HORRID slow burn... and its like.. Will I get wore out/burnt out from trying to earn experience to level up the stats I need, to have fun?

    What will break first, my attention span or the experience?

    Game is amazing. It has some bugs but none of them can affect the whole experience you experience. The environment, the missions, the multiple choices you have…

    Imo, a great game. That only gets better the more you play. Skyrim is space. Who wouldnt love it. Some of it is still janky, some models, physics etc but the overall experience outweighs that. Anyone who rates this anything lower then a 7 is disingenuous.

    After playing for 62 hours so far, I can say that Starfield is a breath of fresh air. It’s an all-out Bethesda RPG and exceeds in just about every aspect. It has fantastic dialogue, endless exploration and you can truly do what you want. It’s everything I have dreamed of and more.

    There are a lot of things about Starfield that I wish were better. I wish it leaned more heavily towards space sim mechanics in some area's, such as atmospheric flight, and space travel.

Not gonna sugar coat it as i'm not obligated to do that. There are some weird choices, and quality of life features that are missing from an RPG released in 2023. But at its core is still a rock solid first person RPG with a very detailed game world that is huge, and provides a lot of player choice and freedom. If you're looking for a space sim, look else where, there are plenty of options (No Man's Sky, and Elite Dangerous are the best ones), but if you're looking for an open world sci-fi RPG, you can't do much better than this, except maybe Cyberpunk 2077, and the Outer Worlds.

    No game is perfect. And also Starfield has some weak parts (e.g. graphics and NPCs). However, how can you give anything less than a 10/10 to a game where I have already spent 20 hours in just a few days and will go on to spend hundreds more. How can we give perfect scores to indy games with very poor graphics which we play for a few hours and not give a perfect score to this huge game?No game is perfect.

    And it is a Bethesda game with all its flaws but most importantly its advantages. You can get lost for hours, doing side quests. You can spend hours levelling up and crafting things. Now you can also build a base and a spaceship. What more can we ask. 2023 seems to be a good year for gaming so lets enjoy it.

    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.
