    ok let me start this by asking what do we want when we want to play games? simply having fun alright in that matter there are lots of elements to achieve that for example shooting designing or the unexpected stories of the game and the freedom it offers we know very well that Bethesda games like fallout and elder scrolls try to full all these elements in their own way in these gamesok let me start this by asking what do we want when we want to play games? simply having fun alright in that matter there are lots of elements to achieve that for example shooting designing or the unexpected stories of the game and the freedom it offers we know very well that Bethesda games like fallout and elder scrolls try to full all these elements in their own way in these games they're making , i love Skyrim i believe it's the most complete game i prefer it over gta v because the freedom it gives and wonderful choices to make and their effects on the game world yes rockstar games are the best but I want to have my own style my own way in doing missions kill or talk or steal while in gta v you can't do anything but following what they want so it's just like a movie with great details and great story more than a game where you can be what ever you want in whatever you like while rockstar games the only freedom you get is only by changing your clothes or your hair unlike starfeild or Skyrim they're trying to make the ultimate free world game for us in their way and I really think they're doing a good job i mean there's a lot for them to make it better but they have the correct vision for it , it's definitely not starfeild but maybe in the future with elder scrolls 6 i hope… Expand

    Starfield is an RPG that brings the best out of previous Bethesda games with the best sci-fi narrative about space ever created. With elements inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar, a game about space has never been this grand and with such satisfying exploration until now. The team led by Todd Howard can be proud of the fantastic work they've put out.

    Starfield lives up the billing as the next great Bethesda RPG. It is a more polished version of Skyrim or Fallout. The quests are fantastic. The gunplay is much improved.

Also, despite not being able to fully walk around a planet I have never hit a world border. I enjoy the ship building a lot and I have dabbled in outpost building too which isn't normally my cup of tea but making a cool base with your own ship builder is still neat. Overall I love the game and can't wait for mod support and dlc.… Expand

Also, as ES4 Oblivion being my favorite ES, I really enjoy some of the Oblivion elements they brought back for this game.

    It's a great game. Nice story, It's not comparable as Fallout 76. Has some mechanics from Bethesda RPGs and has a good story. I can explore planets and the load screens are fast.
    I used to play Frontier Elite, from 90's and Starfield have much more fun. I can play as a pirate, an universe explorer or follow the missions. There are some bugs, but nothing annoying.

    Classic Bethesda formula, jumping between planets can feel tedious from time to time, however there is always something new to discover and do.

    This is certainly the best Bethesda experience I had since Oblivion and Fallout 3.

    I am only about 30 hours or so in, and so far the game and especially the story does not disappoint! I also like how the game allows for multiple play-styles. You can move around quickly or take your time taking it all in. Space combat is fun and bombastic. Physics in this game really is next level.

    This Game looks so nice and for a person who always loved Astronomy is it more genius. The way you skill your character and improve it or find some new random planets from over 1000 of it. It's just great. Ok if you cannot search completely every stone from every over 1000 planets. Who cares? And who wants it? Enjoy this Game and be happy

    Starfield is a masterpiece of science fiction role-playing that delivers on its promise of unparalleled freedom and immersion. From the moment I created my character and chose my background and traits, I felt like I was living in a vast and vibrant galaxy full of wonders and dangers. The game offers a staggering amount of customization options, from the appearance and skills of myStarfield is a masterpiece of science fiction role-playing that delivers on its promise of unparalleled freedom and immersion. From the moment I created my character and chose my background and traits, I felt like I was living in a vast and vibrant galaxy full of wonders and dangers. The game offers a staggering amount of customization options, from the appearance and skills of my character, to the design and functionality of my spaceship, to the weapons and gadgets I can craft and use.

    The game world is simply breathtaking, with over 1000 planets to explore, each with its own unique atmosphere, culture, flora, fauna, and secrets. The game does an amazing job of balancing realism and fantasy, creating a believable and consistent universe that draws inspiration from both science and fiction. The game also features a dynamic weather system, day-night cycle, and realistic physics that affect the gameplay and the environment.

    The story of Starfield is captivating and engaging, with branching paths and multiple endings that depend on my choices and actions. The game puts me in the role of a member of Constellation, the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy. Along the way, I encounter various factions, characters, and quests that challenge me morally, intellectually, and emotionally. The game does not shy away from tackling complex themes such as humanity's place in the cosmos, the ethics of colonization, the nature of artificial intelligence, and the consequences of war.

    The gameplay of Starfield is smooth and satisfying, with a seamless transition between first-person and third-person perspective. The game offers a variety of gameplay styles, from stealth and hacking, to diplomacy and trading, to combat and exploration. The game also features a robust skill system that allows me to specialize in different fields and unlock new abilities. The combat is thrilling and tactical, with a wide range of weapons and gadgets that can be modified and upgraded. The game also supports different modes of travel, from walking and driving, to flying and teleporting.

    The graphics and sound of Starfield are stunning and immersive, with a high level of detail and realism. The game uses the new Creation Engine 2, which delivers stunning visuals, realistic lighting and shadows, dynamic reflections, volumetric clouds, ray tracing, and more. The game also features a rich and varied soundtrack composed by Inon Zur, who also composed the music for Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. The game also features excellent voice acting from a talented cast of actors.

    Starfield is not only the best game of 2023, but also one of the best games ever made. It is a monumental achievement in gaming history that sets a new standard for the genre. It is a game that deserves to be played by everyone who loves science fiction, role-playing, or simply great games. Starfield is a game that will stay with me for a long time, as I continue to explore its infinite possibilities. Starfield is not just a game, it is an experience.

    One or 2 youtubers might try it, but I'll bet, he/she will never do it again. It's life wasting.

    Would you prefer to fly 20 hours (20 years?, 20 light years?) from planet A to planet B (meantime, it's just a boring flight)?
    Or would you prefer, like in a movie, take off, cut, entering a planet, cut, landed, cut, shows that you've "traveled"?

    On a planet, you wanna go to A, but you are at the opposite side of the location. You sure you wanna fly there? Have your even been to overseas? You know how freaking tiring it is to fly 10+hours right?

    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.
