    Bethesda has fallen. It's sad to see how they went from creating some of the best worlds in video games to this boring, lifeless mess.

    If you like FA 4, this is a game for you, but if you want a game where you can wake up, get in your ship, fly up into the stars, jump across the system, fight bad guys, travel, explore, mine, trade ect, all with just one... ONE loading screen at the start of the game, do all that seamlessly, with beautiful graphics, in a true sandbox, no crappy woke stuff.

    This is exactly the same game as many others from Bethesda with all these issues. Unpolished at release date, not optimized at all. All Todd's words about freedom and 20 years of development was sweat lying to gamers hears. The same old mechanics, the same old simple quests, the same animations... just 90% of the game is old stuff in new cover.

    Disappointed, the game system is old, the game loads too much, the game content is very rich, the camp story is interesting, the main story presence is low, the performance is good in all the Bethesda games, the game is generally great for me

    Phill and Todd paid me so much money to post a good review and actually enjoy the game.

    Im sorry PS community that you're not getting paid for review bombing, that's unfair

    The game is really boring, no immersion whatsoever. Never played an rpg where I didn't care about about any of the factions or characters or finding conclusion to any storyline. Space flight is horrible and only used for combat no exploration. Menufield...

    Massively let down with this. The worlds feel hollow and empty, most of the characters are uninteresting, the combat is jarring and has no charm, the dialogue by (Bethesda's standards) is abysmal, there is no space travel or exploration; just more and more fast travel screens. I am genuinely shocked this is what they chose to release. Big no from me.

    Let me start by saying that I adore almost everything about this game. Once I saw a lot of the reviews, especially the 7/10 from IGN...I was truly disappointed, confused, worried. I felt like all the wait, hype, and research for this game were for nothing. I mean I bought an Xbox specifically for this game, as my laptop would've never been able to run it.

Once I saw a lot of the reviews, especially the 7/10 from IGN...I was truly disappointed, confused, worried. I felt like all the wait, hype, and research for this game were for nothing. I mean I bought an Xbox specifically for this game, as my laptop would've never been able to run it. So with that being said, when I sat down to play Starfield for the first time I was hooked. Hours went by and a question started spinning in my head. "Am I playing a completely different game from the reviewers". There are a few things I wish they would have done differently, like - having a map, at least in the major cities/ buildings/ships, and so on. Fewer planets, which would have been more intricate and filled with environmental storytelling would have been better in my eyes..and some other minor things like fewer loading screens. But it doesn't seem fair to complain and to be nit-picky as if we were owed something. The game is one of the best games of all time and it's free on "Game Pass", which is mind-blowing. Bethesda will keep doing what Bethesda does, and nobody in my eyes, can do what Bethesda does. Their games are the deepest games I've played and I appreciate them for that. I can talk for hours about all the great systems in Starfield, or about how great the characters are voiced, or how the music is almost as good as in Skyrim. I can't stress enough how important it is to be able to immerse yourself in this game. Give this game a chance! Don't listen to the negative reviews, or better yet, listen to them, go in with low expectations, like I did, and prepare to be amazed.… Expand

    The game runs fine. Solid 30 FPS is not a deal breaker. I would like less loading screens but they are much faster than previous BGS games. If you are at all curious about this game give it a try and don’t let the haters influence you. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but people that are rating this 0/10 are out of their minds.

Unfortunately, once you get the hang of it you realize how rinse-and-repeat the “exploration” is in this game. Drop to the waypoint, walk about 400 meters to the destination, enter a copy-pasted cave or facility, finish the objective. Rinse. Repeat. The lack of traversal options on-planet before you reach the 400 meter destination is an absolute slog. Locking gameplay features behind skill trees is frustrating as well, especially given the fact that you are unable to respec your character. Bethesda-standard physics jank and uncanny valley lip sync have not improved since Fallout 4. Pretty unsurprising at this point. I didn’t have high hopes given Bethesda’s recent offerings. That’s the only reason I can say I’m not disappointed by this game. It’s more or less what I expected.… Expand

    Very poor attention to details for a modern production; feels very 2005. Poor characters (NPCs). Impossible to remove pronouns. Way to woke for normal production - feels they had an agenda to push, rather than focusing on what matters in a game. You can choose which way paper roll hangs in the toilet - which raised my rating from 3 to 4 Play BG3 instead - this one is not worth a penny in 2023

    Starfield is one of the few games that immerses you in a unique environment. Comparing it to Starcitizen or No mans Sky is dumb, starfield has a different atmosphere and mechanics. It is an excellent game. I've been playing it for 50 hours and it's very awesome

    Extremely bad game. The space combat has terrible controls compared to games that came out 10 years ago. With obnoxious button indicators next to weapons and systems. It feels so janky, like they put space combat into a fallout 3 engine. The combat is Fallout. It actually feels like a terrible fallout mod. I can't believe this got such good official reviews.

    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.
