    Exactly the kind of game I’ve been craving! Exploration, outpost building, ship customization, combat, and some great visuals/audio.

Fast travel options are great when I get home from work and only have a few hours to play. As a working adult if I have 2 hours to play video games, spending 30 minutes of it staring at a screen while I manually fly from point A to B is a waste. I have not once run into a “boundary” for my landing zone. I drop in, do some quests, then drop out. There are some Bethesda bugs… but that didn’t stop me from loving every other Bethesda game out there… and none have been game breaking for me, just chuckle worthy. People need to grow up and just enjoy games for what they are. If this game isn’t for you, that’s okay… not all games are for all people. But if you like sci-fi and Bethesda games give it a try! Check it out on gamepass if you want to get in cheaper than buying!

    Don’t listen to angry nerds. They hate everything. Instead trust your own experience. I’m so glad I did!    … Expand

    Starfield é um game grandioso demais e claro que devido a isso, pode agradar muitos e outros nem tanto.
    Acontece que quando algumas pessoas dão notas pensando somente em seus gostos pessoais, as reviews deixam de ter sentido.

    Em outras palavras, todos os jogos devem ser analisados com a mesma ótica.
    Pensando nisso, Starfield acerta em quase todos os pontos artísticos de um jogo de videogame e por isso creio que ele merece 10.
    Jogabilidade fluída; músicas envolventes e muito bem colocadas nas milhares de possibilidades; muito divertido explorar em terra e no espaço; gerenciamento de personagens, estruturas, naves, entre outros. O conteúdo gigantesco deste game é incrível. Por isso fazer revisões somente jogando 10 horas de gameplay, nem deveriam ser aceitas aqui.
    E sobre bug... claro q tem. Mas pela tamanho deste game, a quantidade é ínfima.
    Ah, e não vale abaixar a nota porque não saiu pla PS5.
    Starfield conseguiu criar sua identidade sem perder a essência dos RPGs Bethesda.

This feels like 3 different games in one, from the stellar main stories/factions to the expansive base building and ship building.

    NPCs look a bit goofy, lots of menus and some loading screens, 30fps but everything else is so amazing that it makes up for these negatives. Yah I wish the space travel was seamless but it’s a space RPG, not a space sim.

    The planets are nice to explore and can look really pretty. The factions and questlines are some of the best that Bethesda has ever created and really took that criticism from last games. The gunplay, ship combat, customization is all great and even tho it’s 30fps, it still feels smooth. The companions are well written, well voice acted and may be Bethesda’s best. They really took the RPG aspect criticism to heart and added lots of depth with skill checks, speech checks, choices, good character builds, backgrounds and traits. A huge improvement over Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

    In general, it’s a good RPG and a great game. The old Bethesda that we loved is back and clearly put effort so don’t listen to the review bombing or salty PS5 fanboys. Gave me lots of hope for ES6    … Expand

    Overall, such a fun and awesome game!! The game runs great (I play on Xbox Series S), story is unique and intriguing, and there is a great variety of items and weapons. As someone who absolutely loved playing Skyrim, Starfield is an absolute blast! Highly recommend if you are into these open world RPG style games, or if you are interested in starting with this genre of video games.

    Not worth $70. $20 maybe and only if you have nothing else to play. Outer Wilds, Outer Worlds, Baldurs Gate, any of these are way more worth your time.

    Somehow even worse than typical bethesda trash. The whole game is about as well optimized as fallout 4 boston and as soon as you install it you need to download a mod to remove the green tint so the game doesn't look like vomit. Bugs and loading screens everywhere. It does have plenty of empty computer generated planets to explore if you're into that.

    Started off slow.... but now 50hrs in and can't put it down...
    Graphic isnt the best but passable...
    30fps is fairly smooth but a few drips here and there...
    No major bugs so far...

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.    … Expand

Are you people really this jaded and stuck up? I'm only leaving this review to speak up and hopefully sway some of you negative Nancys to take another look at Starfield. This game is incredible, head to toe. The soundtrack is quite possibly one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming, rivaling that of only the original Halo trilogy. The crafting, the skill progression, the exploration, the characters, the worlds, all absolutely stunning. I spent about 3 hours just WALKING through New Atlantis just getting lost in the cinematics, feeling like i was the main character in a blockbuster movie that just came out.

    The movement, animations, gunplay, and graphics are a full step above Skyrim and Fallout 4, and that is a very nice improvement to have. The attention to detail, the physics, the natural way the characters behave, it's all just spot on. I played a lot of Fallout and Elder Scrolls (loved them both) and I can say without question that this is a worthy successor to the throne.

    In one word, this game is: breathtaking. I hope people can take a step back, spend some real time with this game, and truly appreciate it for what it is - a masterpiece.    … 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.
