Random generated planets after landing, super side missions and huge world, ship customization and nice crew give us truly amazing space game. Graphic is very good, views are insane and created places are stunning, this is huge Fallout in space, fun and very addictive game in Bethesda tropical style. Creation Engine have some problems, but mostly with optimization, with is not bad if you compare other huge games from this year, and flop games on Unreal bug engine. Still on two my PCs game works fine, without one crash, with stable playable FPS on Ultra settings. This is a true AAA game, one of the best in this year. Expand

    A solid Bethesda game, and if this is what you went in expecting (unlike some children who thought this game would be the second coming of video game

    Excellent story, wonderful side quests and the guns feel great. Probably my favourite Bethesda game. Remember children, don’t be mad because the features YOU thought were coming aren’t there. Play

    9/10 because no video game is ever 10/10, all art is iterative.

    Falls far short of titles such as FO3/4, Oblivion and Skyrim… in fact it might be in a different Universe.

    To cut a long story short the landscapes and sometimes the music is pretty great, but that’s where the compliments end.

    The story is flat and wooden. Out of the gates I fail to find any kind of immersion, the voice acting is flat and while the story arc is a fantastic concept it just doesn’t deliver. It tries to do a lot; none of which very well.

    With the exception of my interactions with the Crimson fleet missions were little more than fetch this for loosely related purposes and get that because ‘reasons’. Nothing really ties together very well. Loot is horrendous, nothing seems to be that unique or related to a mission set, items are quite similar; none descript, grey, common.

    Each planet or area feels empty and certain devoid of purpose. You land basically on the same planet each time where the surface, minerals and the animals are slightly different with a view habs containing random gear. It also misses some of the slightly more goofy sides of previous titles; you don’t build a giant robot, or meet a robotic space captain gone rogue or becomes besties with the undead.

    This is a £30 title at best, if you can play it free on game pass do it; except for Baldur’s Gate 3 (which is exceptional) there’s little else going on, but I’d think twice about paying £50-60 for it. Even the free version will leave you disappointed. I’ll leave on a positive note and that is the game does a great job with the way they introduce NG+, sadly I doubt I’ll be taking advantage of it.

    There shouldn't be a prerequisite to games that you need to complete hours of boring gameplay before you get to the good stuff. Space travel is next to non-existent. The "space travel" is really just a glorified load screen as it simply changes appearance and promots fast travel immediately.

    I really liked Starfield, The main story is engaging and well-written, The side quests are also varied and rewarding. The game looks stunning on the Xbox Series X, with detailed graphics and great performance and The sound design is also impressive. The game does not support Arabic language, which is disappointing for Arabic speakers like me.

    Overall, Starfield is a great game.

Almost every Triple A studio has surpassed BGS when it comes to open world games in combat design, story, gameplay, world building, and exploration. FromSoft, Guerrilla, MonolithSoft, Nintendo, and CDPR to name a few. Sadly despite huge promises, Starfield is an outdated game with an unimaginative story, subpar combat, and several clunky gameplay systems that are poorly explained. Poor optimization on both PC and Xbox are far from a current gen showpiece. Monotonous and uninspired are the two best words to describe Starfield. Expand

(Abgesehen davon wenn man sich da beschweren will sollte man erstmal auf die ganzen Titel schauen die sony exclusiv hat...)

    Jetzt aber zum Spiel, klar die Story ist hier und da noch überarbeitungsfähig, allerdings gab es auch genug Spiele die nicht einmal dieses Level beim Release erreichen.

    Die Flugsteuerung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, ich fühle mich ein wenig sehr an die Hand genommen vom Entwickler da ich nicht selbst landen oder starten kann, ich wünschte mir an der Stelle sie hätten sich mit den Entwicklern von elite dangerous zusammen gesetzt.

    An sich macht das Spiel trotz allem echt Spaß und das schiffs Design der normal kaufbaren Schiffe ist mega gelungen allerdings ist durch die eingeschränkte flugerfahrung das alleinige Design relativ egal.

    Story an sich ist cool gemacht, wenn die Kommunikation mehr Emotionen zeigen würden würde alles auch besser rüber kommen und es würde einen mehr mitreißen.

    Aber zu guter letzt würde ich sagen trotz allem ein Spiel was es wert ist gespielt zu werden und wenn noch weitere Elemente hinzugefügt werden könnte ich wie bei skyrim mit den richtigen mods tausende von Stunden spielen

    After experiencing the game for about 8 hours, I am just confused lmao. Why did they spend so much time on this? This could have come out during the same era as Fallout 4 and you wouldn't even know.

    There's too many great games to waste time on this barely good game. Is it a Bethesda game? Well yes, it is. I guess we got what we should have all been expecting.

    Otherwise the game is expansive, samey, the combat is below expectations in 2023, and the bugs ruin immersion with so many characters staring at you, walking into walls, floating, and getting in your way, extremely poor and inconsistent facial animations and running animations, horrible weight system where you can barely carry anything.

    People think this is fun/funny but they're usually distracting when a game tries to be serious.

    Otherwise, performance is horrible, I have a 3080 and the FPS in the cities and random, empty, planets drops from 120 fps to under 30. It has such a massive gap in FPS for no reason at all, even in scenarios where nothing is happening on screen. NMS had seamless landing on planets and flying in a planets atmosphere and was more stable yet this has the backing of MS and 9,000 members of staff.

    BGS have made the same reskinned combat/AI/animations for over a decade and a half and its time to hold them to a higher standard.

    -Lots to do but It feels like they spread the content all over the "universe" , and this works against the game because the sense of immersion is destroyed by the constant need of fast travelling. In comparison "The Outer Worlds" made a much smarter choice by focusing on a specific star system.

    - The "procedural" content is confusing , leaves you constantly wonder if something matters or it's just generated on the fly.

    - The graphics is ok when it comes to architecture but looks terribly outdated when it comes to natural items and vegetation, F76 in comparison looked way better.

    - NPCs look repetitive and very dated compared to other recent games - and interactions feel very scripted.

    - Gore and finishers are completely missing, a downgrade from other Bethesda games.

    - Weapon modding was also downgraded from Fallout 4 and 76.

    - No way to scrap objects to harvest parts and materials, another inexplicable down
    grade.

    - The "space" part feels more like a mini game rather than something that brings it all together as it should have been. You find yourself floating around and unable to really go anywhere. It was also said that the space travelling would have had a sense of danger but in the end product it's as safe as taking an elevator.

    - I can't speak much of the main story as I left it aside for now and chose to explore around instead, but frankly this is probably because I found it so forced and cliche that I didn't feel a sense of urgency to push forward with it.

    Overall this game does give you a little "fix" of a Bethesda RPG but it's not the generational game that was promised, by far.

    Excellent game. Lots of options to explore and choose your own path. Unlike a souls game where you die every few minutes this lets you explore without worry. I enjoy it but fear it's so expansive and there are so many options that I will never really be able to play it in its entirety.

    this game is a loadscreen simulator. no planet exploring(you cant land on planet because its a jpg), no space exploring. just menus and menus and menus. ai is dead and doesn't react to anything. no face animation. engine is outdated. better play skyrim.

Or flying past a lonely hauler singing a ballad over the radio. I guess if you fast travel too much and don't go off the main quest, you can miss the real treasure in this game. It really shows how much Bethesda did to make the world feel alive and full of real people. The writing is outstanding. The voice actors are truly incredible. I hardly touched the main quest line yet. The side content is worth the 70 bucks. I understand some people expected something else. Some people care more about graphics, or dislike the load screens and the menus. Some say its not RPG enough. But i dont see anything here to get angry about. Resources are finite, and I love that Bethesda prioritised immersive content and exploration and engagement with the world, over making the game look marginally better - or getting rid of load screens in a game that literally remembers where you left every single lootable item across a huge universe. I personally appreciate that data so vast needs to be compartmentalised. Bethesda clearly put a lot of heart into this game. They worked incredibly hard. Personally I got more than I expected for the price. I'm going to love this game forever! Thank you Bethesda. Expand

    Starfield is a massive, ambitious game that does a lot right, the hate is unnecessary. It's a fantastic gem of a game, I have played nearly 50 hours and I've only just landed on the 2nd main city. I clearly am enjoying the game or I wouldn't play it. However, Starfield is not without its flaws. The game's AI is often clunky, and the dialogue can be a bit wooden.

    Overall, I still love Starfield. It's a flawed game, but it's also a very ambitious and exciting one. I can't wait to see what Bethesda does with it in the future.

    Here are some specific things I love about Starfield:

    The sense of exploration. There's so much to see and do in Starfield

    The world-building. Bethesda has done a great job of creating a believable and immersive sci-fi world.

The reality is that no company should be rewarded for stagnating in every aspect of their game development process and its end result. I like the game as I have liked previous Bethesda titles warts and all but I cannot in good conscience say it is a step in any direction except maybe a step back from previous titles. The engine they refuse to update looks worse with each new title released, better lighting and shadows, sure, but to me it just looks like lipstick on a pig. Endless loading screens instead of a seamless experience of exploration and true role-playing. NPC's and facial animations are a real disappointment after playing games like Witcher 3, Death Stranding and Baldur's Gate 3 and one of these is from eight years ago. Just nostalgia for Bethesda games shouldn't excuse their sloppiness. They have the massive backer that is Microsoft now so they really have no excuse (not that they had one before in my opinion) as a AAA developer to deliver such a sub-par product for 2023 while other much smaller studios with a fraction of their resources deliver something amazing both in looks and feel!

    First of all,the piloting is a major cornerstone of the game and the basic piloting mechanic is only the surface.You can unlock the targetting system and target the specific systems on the enemy vessel and by shooting the engine up,you can board and capture,so far I haven't experienced 2 similar boarding.I even managed to ruin the artificial gravity on 1 vessel and the boarding ended up in a 0 gravity gunfight.
    You can even build your own ship from modules and build outposts.
    The scope of this game is insane.I think running through the main missions is a mistake,because the sidequest give the game an interesting flavour.For example I heard a distress call and I landed on a planet and ended up helping a group to kill the invading thugs in space.Side quest after sidequest and you notice this game is more similar to the structure of Witcher 3.The side quest stories look handcrafted and there are random events on planets,ending up in interesting outcomes.
    I can see myself playing this game until next year.
    One other thing I forgot to mention.The graphics can be breathtaking.Standing on the moon and seeing all the stars above is a unique experience.

    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.
