    This game story is a sleeper and the combat is lame at start but it gets better as you continue. The main worlds have solid life but other side planets are kinda lame tbh. Some of the scenery and physics are solid also. But the NPC are TERRIBLE, when I pull a gun out and shoot it near people no one reacts they only react if you start killing people as they should.

    This game is a must! - Ignore the review bombing from biased outlets and other consoles.

    The game economy is well thought The lore is worthy of a book or series for the backstory. Ship building is a game of its own.. The Lip Syncing is great, 1st and 3rd person options equally viable ways to play. AI is improved a lot, the enemies get sneaky and also they fear you when they are alone.

    I am hooked, absorbing all the storytelling about the Terrormorph and getting a Starship Troopers styled side quest which so far I have like 3 hours in. The game is incredible, it absorbs you and doesn't let you go, it has a slow start though but it's totally worth it.

    I have played in Series X and cloud gaming so far and it runs great, little to no bugs or frame drops. It's like Red Dead Redemption and Zelda ToTK, you will wish it lasts forever.     … Expand

One of the game's most glaring flaws lies in its limited and fragmented approach to exploration. Players had hoped for seamless journeys across the cosmos, but instead found themselves navigating through a labyrinth of loading screens that break immersion and disrupt the sense of a vast, interconnected universe. The promise of boundless space adventure gave way to a frustrating experience of frequent interruptions, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the wonders of Starfield's galaxy. This aspect leaves many feeling that the game falls short of the expectations set for it in the realm of space travel.x… Expand

    Playing Starfield gives me the same sense of awe that I got the first time I played Skyrim a decade ago. The soundtrack, views, and gameplay make this an amazing update to everything we love about Skyrim. I have been a longtime PlayStation fanboy and I bought a Series X specifically for this game, and I'm not disappointed.

    Some of these negative reviews make me laugh. I see people complaining about some of the ~1000 planets being "empty". Duh, we're in space. It honestly adds a layer of immersion for me to visit a planet only to find nothing except beautiful planetary views for photo mode.

    This game is not without flaws though, which is why I've rated it a 9 out of 10. The inventory system isn't great, space travel can be underwhelming, and the map system is awful. This game also has some minor bugs that are common with all Bethesda games, however most of the bugs that I've experienced (or seen posted on Reddit) are harmless and oftentimes hilarious.

    I think a lot of the negative reviews are coming from people who had wildly unrealistic hopes and expectations of what this game would be. Again, this game isn't perfect, but it's provided me with >20 hours of amazing gameplay already and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface in terms of planetary exploration and completing missions.    … Expand

    After Skyrim, they had 10 years to develop this game. But they haven't developed anything for 10 years. Optimization sucks. The overall game design sucks. NPCs suck. They made the same mistakes in Skyrim and released the game half finished. Why? Because modders can do the work they left unfinished. This game is not 2023 game. This game is 2013 game.

    A Stellar Journey Awaits in Starfield

    I recently had the privilege of diving into Bethesda’s latest masterpiece, Starfield, and I must say, it’s nothing short of breathtaking. As a lifelong fan of science fiction and open-world RPGs, I had high hopes for this game, and it exceeded every one of them.

    Starfield transports you to a richly detailed and expansive universe, teeming with wonder and mystery. The attention to detail in crafting various star systems, planets, and celestial bodies is nothing short of astounding. Each location feels unique, with its own ecosystem, history, and culture. The sense of immersion is unparalleled, thanks to stunning visuals and a captivating soundtrack that perfectly complements the vastness of space.

    Character customization and development are as deep as you’d expect from a Bethesda game. You’re not just a passenger in this journey; you’re the captain of your own spaceship, making critical decisions that shape the fate of the universe. The ability to traverse the cosmos, explore planets, and engage in meaningful interactions with NPCs makes every moment in Starfield feel consequential.

    Quests and side activities are abundant, offering a rich tapestry of storytelling that ranges from heartwarming to heart-pounding. The writing and voice acting are top-notch, bringing the game’s diverse cast of characters to life. Whether you’re negotiating a fragile interstellar peace treaty or uncovering the secrets of an ancient alien civilization, every mission is a thrilling adventure.

    Gameplay mechanics strike a harmonious balance between accessibility and depth. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or a newcomer to the genre, Starfield’s controls are intuitive, and the learning curve is gentle. Yet, beneath the surface lies a complex web of crafting, exploration, and combat systems that reward mastery.

    While no game is without its quirks and minor bugs, Bethesda has a history of robust post-launch support, and I have no doubt that any issues will be swiftly addressed.

    In conclusion, Starfield is a magnum opus that redefines the open-world RPG genre in the realm of space exploration. It’s an experience that invites you to lose yourself in the vastness of the cosmos, offering endless opportunities for discovery and adventure. Bethesda has once again proven their mastery of world-building and storytelling, and Starfield is a must-play for anyone with a love for science fiction and immersive gaming.

    Prepare for launch, fellow gamers; Starfield is here to take you on a celestial journey you’ll never forget.    … Expand

    Sold as a grand RPG experience spanning over a thousand planets, Starfield falls short of offering any sort of unique or distinguishable content over its peers and competitors, opting for the often critiqued approach of quantity over quality at a scale truly never seen before while forgoing the hallmarks Bethesda's best works despite replaying their previous shortcomings.

    Critically, Quests and Exploration have been reduced to little more than fetch quests and checklists, all attempts at motivating you to experience the few dozens of procedurally generated dungeons, lifeforms, enemies and vistas on the many but very limited and conforming landscapes of Starfield, a symptom of the numerous compromises that the Bethesda formula had to go through to support its vast emptiness.    … Expand

I'm fully sucked in and no game has grabbed me quite this way in years.

    My only minor quibbles are loading screens, there are far too many, although they're mostly 2-3 seconds as I have the game on an NVME Drive. I'd hate to imagine what it's like on a Mechanical hard disk. It's something Bethesda definitely need to work on with their next game. Graphics are good, but not great. I've seen no bugs, and a single typo on a subtitle. How all Launches should be!

    I have been looking forward to this game for years and what I have played so far has been fun. Unfortunately, I can only play for 10 to 15 minutes at a time before it crashes to my Xbox home. There are plenty of other people experiencing this same issue and preventing them from playing, but neither Xbox nor Bethesda are providing any sort of support on this.

    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.
