    A scam game!
    The quality of the tree, the texture of the water, the light and shadow effect...
    It's hard for you to believe that this is a game from 2023. I believe it when you say it's a game from 2013.
    Bethesda spent 7 years making a pile of **** from 10 years ago, and someone paid for it....
    Bethesda's lack of ambition is not without reason.

    The scope of this game is impressive, the writing is amazing, and graphics are stunning. There is so much to do, it's so easily to just lose time doing side-quests, and the quest-npc's are a joy to talk to. I've barely scratched the surface but this is easily my favourite game of the year

    Mal juego, se ve muy común que Xbox/MS traten de comprar a la prensa, el juego es prácticamente un 7-5, tiene muchos problemas de rendimiento y bugs, mejor que MS mejore más su control de calidad que pasarse comprando estudios y comprando a la gente

    Onestamente quello che mi aspettavo, un gioco capace di tenerti incollato allo schermo, una trama ricca di sottotrame una più bella dell'altra con tanti colpi di scena.
    Ha I suoi difetti sia chiaro, ma io in un gioco guardo la sua capacità di intrattenermi.
    Grande colpo di Bethesda e Microsoft ❤️

    Story is boring, side missions are ok.

    The graphics are good in some places but terrible in others.

    There is no exploration like skyrim, it's all segmented areas with loading screens.

    If it named Fallout5,I will give Bethesda a 8 score.
    But it is starfield.Even elite dangerous si more like "starfield".The game even released 10 years ago. It has numerous galaxies that allow for seamless movement within a stellar system.
    So this is not "starfield" but a Fallout5 in the skin of starfield.

    Honestly. The game is just not fun. You spend most of your time either looking at loading screens or in the 100 menus. NPC are very dumb and don't add anything to the experience. Gunplay is alright but unfortunately fights are very repetitive. There is no exploration which would be fine if the rest of the game had any substance. This game feels like it had no direction, no goal and no vision.

    This is a great Bethesda game and provides the usual big world to explore and enough content for 100s of hours.
    This game is extremely fun when you enjoy Bethesda games.

    Nevertheless it also has a lot of technical and UI flaws and it would be great when Bethesda puts in more effort to beyond the standard experience.

    I am very disappointed with Starfield. It's a very well made game but it lacks the soul of previous Bethesda titles. Starfield didn't grab me like Fallout 4 did. I was so immersed in Fallout 4 and Starfield did the opposite. I played for about ten hours expecting the game to get better but it didn't. The game felt very bland. Also I spent about 30% of the game in loading screens.

    Boring, feels very watered down and very woke. Looks like their association with NASA ment they had to preach about climate, work and values.

    World feels hollow and empty and everyone looks similar.

    The dialog seems to be written by AI, nothing is engaging.

    However, the main issues I have with this game are the excessive loading screens, which disrupt the immersion and make it feel less organic. Additionally, the NPCs on different planets can look rather odd and devoid of emotions at times, which is disappointing. In my opinion, Starfield could greatly benefit from a patch to address these issues, along with an FPS boost. While 30 FPS is decent, for a game like this, especially on the powerful new consoles (I'm playing on Series S, by the way), a higher FPS would enhance the experience    … Expand

The 'Space' part of this 'Space' game is also notably missing if you take a moment to stop and smell the roses, a perceptive mind will notice how everything in Space is entirely faked - you're stuck inside an invisible fishbowl - those planets you see in the background? You can't go there. Not really. They're 2D Images from Google. It is my conclusion (when one notes the hundred immediately available Fast Travel options surrounding all 'Space' content) that Bethesda has encouraged By Design the ability to click a button and skip as Much As Possible in 'Space' because they're painfully aware it's their weakest content by a lightyear and do NOT want you to stop and notice just how restricted and cheap it feels. Here in lays Starfield's issue. It's dated. Very dated. This is a game that feels at home in 2007.

    The combat is Fallout, only worse. The exploration is- well it isn't even Fallout! It just doesn't exist! The "Planets" you "Land" on are 4x4 restricted grids full of copy&pasted locations, full of the exact same loot, with the exact same enemies in the exact same positions as the 1000 other 4x4 grids. Anyone that can enjoy this repetitive experience hasn't played many good RPGs in their time... or any good shooters... or anything at all...

    And that leads us to the final note, the RPG system; or the complete lack of RPG. It's the typical Bethesda Illusion that has existed in their games for a generation now, only in 2007 it was impressive. In 2023 it's not. It's dated beyond its years and feels like Bethesda hasn't learnt anything, hasn't grown, hasn't improved; they've copy&pasted the same experience from a decade ago... only worse by removal of that classic Bethesda exploration and via giving us all the Fast Travel points for free without needing to discover a damn thing. Is this the quality we expect from our RPGs? Not to mention the bugs and crashes, somehow excusable because its Bethesda?

    I for one will not meekly accept mediocrity, or worse, simply because it's Bethesda. Any other company would be met by an angry mob if they released Starfield. it's dated, its uninspired, its mediocre at best and I'd rate it a 5 if not for the fact Bethesda continue - consciously - to exploit a fanbase who forgive them every manipulation.

    I swear, it's like so many poor fools are struck in a toxic relationship with Bethesda. In so many years, when they grow up; they'll realise they were used, lied to, exploited for blind loyalty all because they lacked enough self-worth to ask questions and expect more quality from less than quality products.

    Bethesda needs to learn along overdue lesson. They can't release garbage and call it gold, because their fans Should be worth more than that; instead of Todd exploiting blind loyalty like a corrupt god revelling in the worship of his brainwashed followers.

The attention to detail in crafting the various planets and their ecosystems is truly remarkable, making each new discovery feel like a breathtaking adventure. The depth of the storyline and the well-developed characters further enhance the overall experience, pulling me into a world where I feel connected to the universe around me. Starfield's seamless integration with Xbox features, like cloud saves and cross play, makes it a joy to play. Bethesda has truly outdone themselves with this masterpiece, and I can confidently say that Starfield is an absolute must-play for any Xbox gamer looking for an extraordinary and uplifting journey through the stars.… 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 50 hours+ in with the main quest completed twice and 2 faction quests fully completed. A very disappointing execution, very bad main story execution, tons of unnecessary travel waiting with no gameplay purpose, really bad world building, effectively 0 meaningful freedom in quests and storyline. Main story quest is effectively just 15 hours of doing the exact same thing over and over again. The worst part is that is that the locations are super generic and uninteresting locations. There is only one good quest in the entire main story quest line that features a research facility that is switching between dimensions. This quest is the only good quest in the game and it’s such a stark contrast against the extremely unambitious delivery for rest of the game.

    Travelling takes forever. I wish this was a fast travel simulator like it’s often mocked for being. The reality is that the travelling is painfully slow despite a 4090 and NVME2 maxed out PC. They add tons of painfully slow landing sequences. You can’t fast travel directly to the planets surface but you must instead travel to its orbit first. You must get scanned for contraband in almost all of the meaningful solar systems which also takes even more time. You also have to wait for you grav drive to power up for upwards of at least 6 seconds out of memory. The worst part is that it serves so little purpose, you almost never get attacked by other spaceships. While any meaningful orbit interactions / quests could’ve been much better executed by just having them appear in the solar system map view as a distress signal. 0 meaningful choice or interesting gameplay in quests. Compared against Cyberpunk the ability to approach a quest in multiple different ways is just non existent. No proper stealth, no different approaches to the objective and instead just a simple speech check at the very end of a quest to skip 10s of combat. Abysmal non existent world building instead of the cool and extensive world building we saw in Fallout 4. The days of exploring the wasteland and coming across tons of cool structures and settings are gone. You got a few small cities that are hard to traverse with not a lot of substance. If you ever hope to come across a cool building with tons of enemies anywhere you’re going to be disappointed. It’s going to be same looking space building facility you see everywhere else. With the same generic 4x4 meter building block set.

    7-8 years of development for this? 66% of the game is spent running in barren planet with 0 meaningful world building and tons of artificially added waiting screens. The rest of the 33% is generic combat with the most linear dialogue and quest options imaginable. To call this game too ambitious is not doing it service. This is a very unambiguous game with even worse delivery.

    As for bugs I encountered 2-3 bugs that soft locked the main quest as important characters would start to float up in the air, etc. in all cases I was able to reload the save and run up to the person I needed to talk to before they floated into the planets atmosphere. Not too bad on this front for a Bethesda game.

    As someone who is a massive fan of fallout new vegas and a big fan of Cyberpunk this was a massive disappointment. The game designs and direction is incredibly outdated and I have to be honest that for Bethesda to be one of only 2 game studios producing massive first person RPGs like this is leaving me sad. If you are new to the genre and not that big of a RPG fan then maybe 6/10 can be a fair rating. But if you are a massive fan of fallout new vegas, fallout 4, Cyberpunk and were hoping for a big leap forward. Then you’re in for the opposite, it’s a far worse experience than even fallout 4. The 4/10 is for the people that never wanted a looter shooter no man’s sky but an actual RPG with a good story and meaningful freedom.    … Expand

    First, the visuals really are XboxOne era, and level desing on the various habitats is painfully bland and uninspiring. And the planets are very barren and monotonous affairs indeed.
    Combat, enemy AI and various other elements feel like a step backwards from Fallout 4.
    But for me, the worst part are the stories.
    Now in previous Bethesda games, the unique and original stories were what made me love them. Such fascinating stuff. But in Starfield, the stories feel very bland in comparison, and in many places, feel like they were ripped from Mass Effect and other scifi sources. So, not very original or unique.
    Any good stuff? Well, character creator is very good, and there are plenty of interesting skills to choose from. Unfortunately not all of those skills have that much use in the game proper! So, this means that you are given a promise of a deep RPG with all those skills, but then you will actually be playing a very shallow looter-shooter.
    Bugs? Sure. Lots of them. But what game does not have them at launch. But I can already see, even when patched up, the game will not be nearly as good as other Bethesda games. 6/10, and that because I like Bethesda.    … Expand

    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.
