    Super terrible game. The worst Bethesda game ever. Too many loading screens, too much woke stuff, runs at 30 fps in current year.

    Put about 20 hours in so far, game is amazing. Not perfect, but doesn't need to be review bombed. Great story, amazing atmosphere, gameplay is fine.

    Amazing quality as expected from a Bethesda game. Tons of adventuring, masses of beautiful scenery, fantastic weapon play, and SO MUCH of everything packed into one game. This game will be playable far longer than even Skyrim.

    This game presents a quality similar or even inferior to their last game Skyrin released10 years ago.
    The Open World feels empty, there is no exploration and you dont feel willing to explore planets or systems, because everything is done by a Menu selecting landing points. Once you arrive you find rocks, an enemy base and that is it.

    No Spoilers!! Another Excellent Bethesda RPG. Starts a Little Slow, But Gets Very Good. Very Good Main Quest, A Lot of Excellent Side Quests, Ship Building, Mining and Outpost Building, Interesting NPCs and NPCs You Can Recruit to Manage Your Outposts or Help Out On Your Ship. Ship Customization and Outpost Customization, Excellent. Planets, Moons and Creatures Galore.

    This game shows the beautiful work of BETHESDA, which has made its greatest effort to bring the public a massive RPG, with numerous activities, secondary missions, many of them well developed, which hold the attention and sharpen the player's curiosity to follow more and seek other missions.

    This game shows the beautiful work of BETHESDA, which has made its greatest effort to bring the public a massive RPG, with numerous activities, secondary missions, many of them well developed, which hold the attention and sharpen the player's curiosity to follow more and seek other missions.

    The game isn't perfect, like the NPCs' facial expressions or the various LOADING screens, but that's too little to affect everything else, to overshadow the brilliance that this game has, its setting, the atmosphere of the planets is fantastic, even more combined with the soundtrack worthy of science fiction films that makes the player have a good immersion into the world of STARFIELD.

    Starfield presents a story, the main one, very intriguing and that develops more and more, taking the player deeper into the universe, in search of his answers raised at the beginning of the game: what's out there?

    The game, at its launch, was very demanding in terms of hardware, but I believe that future patches should make it smoother on computers. It is important to point out that even so, the game brings an incredible experience for fans of planets, stars, universes, it makes the player appreciate the whole universe a lot.

    Starfield is a game that you have to play calmly and paying attention to the details, which are many, so you can get the most out of the game, ignoring small flaws. Enjoy, go to the stars!

    Fallout 4 but without the open expanse to explore. Non stop loading screens break up what could be a great exploration game. Outerworlds with a larger budget and polish.

    10 hours in the game. I had to drop. There is no history. Graphics and game play looks like far cry 3. Me us extremely confusing. There is no map. Super boring. If you have gamepass, just try it and be disappointed. If you dont, do not buy it not even for $1.00.

    This are my PERSONAL thoughts on this game.
    People are confused comparing this game to No Mans Sky or Space Citizen, this game is not trying to be a Space Simulator, it's trying to be a Bethesda Game set in planets and in space, it has some exploration elements and a lot, I mean a lot of story to its main campaign and side missions, you will be overwhelmed for how much stuff you can

    Visuals are a step up from any previous Bethesda Game, gun mechanics are pretty damn good, not COD type because it's not trying to be a competitive shooter. both 3rd person modes are great as well. You can see the love that was poured into this game with all items, perfectly crafted. lighting is superb as well.
    This is easily Game Of The Year Material and will be more played game of the year.

    Don't listen to hate reviews and comments, go try the game yourself and leave your thoughts. If you love Bethesda Games you will love this masterpiece, lots of love poured into this game. thanks Bethesda and Xbox.

    I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time, it's still not perfect in some technical aspects, but the most important thing is the story and game mechanics, with engaging and charismatic characters.

    This game had so much potential and was hyped up for so long only to deliver the worst Bethesda experience so far. Fallout 3 or Skyrim are still more worth your time in 2023. The environments and worlds are empty and dull and full of copy and pasted structures that you will see over and over again as you play the game. The main storyline is also bad. Don’t waste your time with this garbage

If you like infinite loading screens and dead environments with AI from the Xbox 360 era then enjoy if you expected what Bethesda promoted you were getting then beware, save your money. Modders might be the only hope this game has to be as good as FO4 was without mods. Rip Bethesda.

    It's not a perfect game but the care and love with which it was made is admirable. The soundtracks are wonderful, full of atmosphere and all created using a symphony orchestra. The number of quests is off the charts as are the settings and the feeling of immersion as well. Infinite and open to any mod. ok it's not at the top as well

    The cons,
    Some of the more obscure planets are lackluster and bland.

I love the main characters that you meet, I've only played 10 hours of this game so far and I've already met so many characters. The fast travel doesn't really bother me that much but it can get a little repetitive if a mission tree sends you to multiple planets in a row so you're just going back and forth.

    Also, 10 hours is not enough to properly review this game to the full. I feel like this is going to be a game that I play for a very long time and I am so looking forward to continue my journey.

    Also I've been playing on the Xbox series S and the game has been smooth, with only 1 major freeze that I had to restart the game. But I think that's because my Xbox got hot after a 6 hour long session during a heat wave in a stuffy room.

    Overall, Starfield is a very solid game that is definitely big enough for it's price. It's not perfect but I can accept that the team behind Starfield had to cut some things back to allow the game to be this big. I would probably give an 8.5 if metacritic had that option.

It honestly feels like they spent the most time making this aspect perfect with real time lighting, orbits, fog, reflections, it all looks great, as long as you aren't in one of the major cities. -The performance is consistent on a Series X, not too many bugs and such.

    Cons: -The performance. (I know I just said it was a pro, hear me out) I would have preferred to have this game delayed until we got 60 fps on consoles. It is harder to visually track movement at 30, and it brings the game down a bit, even if it is consistently locked at 30. A game like this shouldn't release at 30 fps, period. -The major cities are kind of boring, except for Neon. The textures in the cities are inferior to the textures on the planets and everything feels a bit dull. It seriously almost looks like a different game when you're in the major cities, including the NPCs who for some reason look like ps3 era character models. The only saving grace is the majority of your time is spent outside of the cities, but yeah they don't look great. -The story is a tough one, I am pretty mixed on it. It has mystery and interesting plot points, but the faction stories and side quests majorly overshadow the main story so you enjoy it less knowing you could be doing better content for that random side character you met. -Exploration could be better. I'm not talking about loading into the planet surface, that's fine and people complaining about that are ridiculous. Instead, I mean after you land on a planet, there are a few POI's to check out in the distance, but you have to walk to them, and it takes forever. You can use a jetpack but it doesn't really speed you up much. And to make matters worse, there isn't much reason to explore. You will find cool, hand crafted locations with enemies to fight, absolutely. But it's pretty rare to find anything useful or any special content when randomly exploring. The POI's are just set pieces with basic loot, maybe some legendary gear on harder difficulties if you're lucky. You are better off sticking to quests and organically exploring occasionally, rather than setting aside hours walking around planets. Overall, I recommend it if you like games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim, and I do not recommend it if you only want action. There is a good amount of RPGing here, and it takes some patience.

    Bethesda managed with Starfield what I can only describe as a masterpiece of open world game design. An extremely well done main quest combined with engaging faction questlines and hundreds of fun side quests spread across a vast, massive galaxy and combined with a solid update in graphics since their last title makes this one of the greatest games I have played in years.

There is really no exploration to speak of. I suppose you can "explore" various unknown landmarks on planets but that's no different than something like FarCry. Actual exploration in space, however, is non-existent (-1pt). The most egregious miss, in my opinion, is the fact that space travel, which is really important to get right, for immersion, in a space rpg, is relegated to fast traveling everywhere (-1pt). Had they simply made fallout in space, I think it would have been received better. But after all the hype and speculation of what Starfield would be and to have the devs lean into that hype and not correct false expectations on the spot leads to the disappointment we're seeing. Final score from me: 5/10. Expand

    45 hours in and loving it.

    Great game, could use some patches and maybe some updates with exploration (vehicles, more interactions w Fauna, better flight mechanics)

    But overall amazing game, when the “Ultimate edition” comes out in a couple years with DLCs and patches it will easily be a 10/10.

    Totally recommend this to all gamers

    Aside from the forced participation in special pronouns at the beginning, which initially squashed my excitement for the game, the woke political agenda isn't as bad as I thought it would be...

    The game is hindered by too many loading screens which breaks the flow of freedom, which is integral to a Bethesda game. I cannot help but feel it would have benefitted from being less ambitious.

    The game is hindered by too many loading screens which breaks the flow of freedom, which is integral to a Bethesda game. I cannot help but feel it would have benefitted from being less ambitious. Nobody needs a "1000" planets, they could have populated far few and the experience would be better. With the way the game is designed there is alot of stopping and starting due to this. Most planets will appear the same and lack diversity, no cultural significance is gained from venturing to different solar systems, the universe is universal. What you experience is quite bland and the environments appear sterile without any significant character. The game looks great and is optimised well for the xbox series x where I've only had a couple of crashes in my 30 hour play through. The bland fallout in space, fast travel simulator isn't what I was expecting.

    After logging 79 hours since early access I think this game is truly amazing with a few issues. The pros:
    -Shipbuilding is an extremely fun time trying to create things you’ve seen in movies or whatever your imagination can think of.
    -The side quests is really deep and a lot more engaging than the main story, you can earn a lot of amazing things. -The more perks you earn can make the game

    -The side quests is really deep and a lot more engaging than the main story, you can earn a lot of amazing things.
    -The more perks you earn can make the game a lot more enjoyable. That why I believe you should just complete the main story first to get NG+ and carry them over to your next playthrough focusing on outposts and side quests.
    -The map you get when you land is actually quite big.
    -A lot of random encounters throughout the game. Especially ones that can happen after completing some little tiny mission that has no significance at all.
    -The backgrounds in creation center are very helpful so pick one that you want to use throughout the game

    Cons -The main story is mid but can still be enjoyable because it’s kinda unique once you find out what happens towards the end.
    -The games is only 30FPS and has no FOV slider and lacks really any “next gen” features. With that being said it does run really smoothly with 30fps.
    -I ran into some bugs but nothing major at all. Like for example a body making noise while it’s dead on the ground because it’s clipped into something.

    I know this game is really fun because I’ve played it and actually paid attention in the menus and know how to use certain things (a lot of people seem to be complaining about things not being in the game when they quite literally are lol) The game looks dated but is Bethesda’s best looking game so far and improved in areas and added things I thought I’d never see in a Bethesda game that are accessible through the perk’s system.

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

    Grafica buona, ma ci sono alcune parti di mappa che fanno sanguinare gli occhi: le cascate, le piante mi hanno veramente ucciso.
    L'inizio della storia è sciatto e banale; non conosco il resto, dunque non giudico. Ma l'inizio di un gioco dovrebbe essere la parte fondamentale, che ti getta nell'atmosfera e ti aggancia al gioco...
    Le musiche buone, ma molti brani sono una rielaborazione di quanto sentito in Skyrim.
    Non sono un fan di FPS, e questo gioco sicuramente non mi ha fatto cambiare idea, anzi...
    I nemici sono idioti allo stato puro, superati solamente dai companion dei quali vuoi sbarazzarti il prima possibile.
    Il menu non mi piace: se l'idea era il minimalismo, a sembra più che altro povero, scabro.

    E poi: i viaggi spaziali.
    Una sequela di caricamenti e cinematic brutte e inutili. La navigazione nelle mappe frustrante, tedioso.
    Esplorare a terra è noioso, senza mezzi se non andare a piedi o con un aspirapolvere sulle spalle (nel 2330?); caricamenti tra un dungeon e l'altro. Il nulla da fare...

    Gioco monocorde, sciatto e senz'anima.
    Bethesda non merita i fan che ha. E al di là del fatto che questo gioco rende ancora più frustrante l'attesa per TES6, mi chiedo se è meglio sperare che non esca mai.
    Piuttosto che provare una delusione ancora più cocente di questa.

    Largamente bocciato il gioco, la campagna di comunicazione e la boria di Todd Howard.

    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.
