    This game had so much potential and unfortunately I feel like it didn’t live up to the hype. The game feels like a game that should have come out in 2015 not 2023, from loading screens more or less every place you go to the terrible performance with really bad frame drops on certain planets, also 30fps in 2023 on new consoles is totally unacceptable, going from 60fps to this is a eye soreThis game had so much potential and unfortunately I feel like it didn’t live up to the hype.

    I am disappointed by Bethesda's incompetence and laziness that does not reflect Korean.
    It remains the same that it is a game that has already failed in the arrogance of developers that can be felt by gamers in some countries.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Light spoilers ahead.

    Starfield is a game that allows you to play it many ways, but not all of those ways can be fun to each individual trying the game. If you engage with all of the systems and enjoy them, then this game lacks many of the issues that others are brining to the table. I also believe this game was inherently designed in a way that has lead people to play it how they think they should, but maybe shouldnt, which has lead to a less exciting experience. Were Fallout 4 seemed to mash all of the factions into the main quest to make you engage with all of them, Starfield recognizes the issues in doing that. You will not run into other the factions besides constellation for more than a moment and they hardly tie into the main quest. Fallout 4 suffered from tying all of the factions into the main quest. It caused the game to feel pretty empty of meaningful stories because there was not a boost in the number of side quests available to make up for the missing quest lines. This game is almost the opposite. Most of what you do for the main story amounts to going to planets and walking to where you'll find an artifact or temple, scanning the planet, mining resources, and exploring the few locals you may find on the planet surface. It felt, to me, as if Bethesda understands how much people put off their main quests. What I mean is, it feels like the main quest is actually a padding to story you create yourself. Maybe a better wording would be, they intend for you to make your own story. You'll get into to whatever adventures you get into this playthrough, and each arch you take your character through is as important as the main quest line because it's all your story. I think your supposed to get sidetracked and if just rush the main quest (like many reviewers are sadly forced to do with such a large game when time constraints are involved) you may have a worse experience because I don't believe it's the intended way to play. But, this is Bethesda, so the try to let you do it anyway if you'd like. That brings me to the choices. This game is much more in line with fallout 3 or, dare I say, New Vegas when it comes to choices. At times it even reminded me of some of my favorite immersive Sims (Nods to Arkane) in its design. Almost every non radiant or main story quest I've done so far has had multiple ways to achieve your goal or had sides to take in some way. Many of the main story missions are about go and collecting an artifact or just finding a temple so when people say there isn't as much choice in the main quest, it isn't necessarily because they aren't letting you make a choice. Its because the missions are basically fetch quests and what decision are you gonna make there? When the story calls for player choices, I've seen it there. I could go on forever, but it's safe to say that if you're a fan of what Bethesda does, you'll get your money's worth out of this game. If you're not a fan of what Bethesda does, why waste your time here looking at reviews?

    I'll cap it off by stating clearly, THIS GAME ISN'T PERFECT. It has its flaws and it has its bugs, but this may be the slickest, high quality package Bethesda has ever released when it comes to technical reliance, systems design, and art direction. Absolutely loving it and will be playing this for many years.    … Expand

    I played this game in early access and it is a wonderful RPG and I barely even scratch the surface of it. I only have done like two or three main story missions and a bunch of side quests, and I’ve only explored like five planets so far.

    I am wondering what Bethesda actually did in the last decade. It feels like a reskinned Skyrim/Fallout with incredibly outdated game mechanics, quests, graphics and full of annoying loading screens without actual space exploration.

Ship building is cool and gives you enough to get creative. I would give it a 8 but I’m going to factor in dlc, patches, and mods to push over to a 9. Definitely recommend this game.… Expand

    What a disappointment. Bethesda keeps making the same game since Morrowind. They slightly upgrade the graphics, but it's the same bland story, boring characters with no facial expressions and an empty lifeless open world. Bioware has always been better, CD Project Red left them in the dust long ago and now Larian Studios is running circles around them. It's just sad.

In my head it doesn't make sense, because It's literally there, just progress through the story and explore other galaxies and planets. The graphics are beautiful, for those who complain about the combat being "generic" then I ask you to increase the difficulty of the Game for greater challenges. Comprehensive events, enjoyable and in-depth role-playing, stimulating build and crafting system just like other Bethesda games. Several Factions, companions, weapons and costumes .....

    As someone who has played all of Bethesda's games, I can confidently say that Starfield is easily their second best title of all time. The level of detail that Bethesda Game Studios has put into this game is truly impressive.

    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.
