    Another Bethesda game that's going to take me years to finish, so much content and so much I want to do. I really like the Improved combat from previous games like Fallout 4, it has a good feel to it. Love the beautiful 80's space age aesthetic, reminded me of artwork and architecture design from old issues of Popular Science and Omni.

    Starfield is an amazing game from BGS from the beautiful scenery to the epic quests you can find while exploring the Starfield universe. It's a must play for anyone that loves sci-fi or exploring the unknown.

    I'm enjoying it very much. I played it for 93 hours so far. I'm enjoying every aspect of the game. I love the planetary environments, the sound and visual departs, the different faction lores, free exploring, cities and settlements, the spaceship encounters and boarding, crafting, finding and collecting space-suit wear and outfits, and the quests and activities, including its photo mode.I'm enjoying it very much.

    I still have to master building and managing planetary outposts, but it's not a problem. It's a great RPG to immerse yourself in for hundreds of hours!

    No começo senti falta de um fps mais alto e um mapa local mais detalhado. Mas em menos de 30 minutos já havia me esquecido desses pequenos pontos. O jogo lembra muito a jogabilidade de fallout 4, porém com uma exploração muito mais detalhada. É um jogo que todos deveriam jogar ao menos uma vez na vida.

    Still haven't actually finished the game, but for the first time in many many years I can't wait to fire a game up every moment I can. The game gives me the feelings I had when I was playing in my 20s and now I'm 39. This is enough for a 10/10 for me, giving a 9/10 only due to the fact it could have been a better game looking at its technical side.

    A unique experience across the stars, that's what Bethesda wants us to experience with this new game. When I first entered this huge universe, it reminded me of when I was young, in the evening when I looked at the stars, I always wanted to see this big galactic world around us, and the game came to get this little nostalgia. It's a unique experience for every player.

It's a unique experience for every player.

    The story puts us in the shoes of a galactic explorer who must recover artifacts. Although the game is fairly short considering it's an RPG, the story is excellent. The characters could have been a little more charismatic. Unfortunately, I didn't feel attached to the characters.

    The "Space Cowboys" side quests are excellent! That of the "Cybercorp" on the other hand, I found it quite boring. As for "Space bandits" and "United Colonies", both are good and interesting.

    The gameplay is enjoyable and easy to pick up. I liked the base and ship building even though it can be unwieldy when you've never played Fallout.

    Even if there was a lot of "Hate" on the graphics, I found that the game is super beautiful and anyway, I pay little attention to the graphics in general, the content is in my opinion much more important. At the beginning, we quickly realize that the game is at 30 fps but after 1 to 2 hours of play, we don't see it anymore. I hope to have an update anyway for 60 fps in the near future. The music and sounds are generally good. It's not branding music like Destiny but it does the job.

    With the arrival of mods, the Replayability is there. I can't wait to be able to experience the game for a 2ᵉ and 3ᵉ time with the addition of mods.

This is an RPG with many deep questlines and many opportunities to play as who you want to be. There is an incredible amount of high quality content here and it is clear that a lot of love went into this game. Perhaps other players just need to spend more time with it or maybe they are just disappointed that its not no man's sky with a Bethesda game attached to it. I don't know. But overall the critic review average is definitely fair. There are some problems with the game (the segmented felling travel being the biggest offender here) but there is so much more that is of such high quality that I cannot fathom the low scores. I'd say anywhere between an 85 and a 90 is definitely fair for this one. In a year or two down the line YouTube is definitely going to be filled with Starfield retrospectives about what a good game this is and how people overreacted to it's downsides in their reviews.… Expand

    Ellos no buscan crear un simulador de exploración galáctico ni nada tan grande como eso, sino que ellos así como en el resto de sus IPs lo que quieren es crear una historia que enganche a partir del momento en que abres tu mente a seguir hacia adelante; es verdad que el tema de los mundos explorables es bastante escueto por no decir cansino ya que no suelen tener gran cosa en ellos, pero a veces la realidad pega muy duro incluso en juegos de ciencia ficción donde, seamos honestos solemos esperar experimentar cantidades ingentes de elementos jugables y eventos que seguramente se escapan aun de lo que casi cualquier pieza de hardware actual podría soportar sin caer por debajo de los 20 fps en calidad gráfica baja.
    por todo lo demás no hay mucho que añadir, es un juego de bethesda desarrollado por bethesda el cual cumple con creces las expectativas reales que bastante gente esperabamos. ¿Que, acaso te creíste el clickbait de un Youtuber/tiktoker/twittero que decía que se había filtrado que el juego te dejaría aterrizar de forma 100 en tiempo real en el juego? ¿Seguro que no se invento eso para llamar la atención de unos cuantos mentes blandas en internet? que va, eso nunca pasa.
    a todo esto, recalcando, es bueno tener expectativas sobre cualquier cosa, la cuestión es saber medirlas conforme al contexto completo del evento/situación/suceso que vaya a ocurrir, ya que como sabemos el que mucho abarca poco aprieta y generalmente la gente tiene una facilidad para inflarse la cabeza con cosas que seguramente no van a pasar que ya podría competir con la propia luz en ver quien es mas rápido.
    Para concluir, admito que las pantallas de carga y menús del juego son muchas más en cantidad comparados a otras entregas de bethesda, pero igualmente, para lo poco que tienden a durar no le veo un problema que se pueda decir arruine monumentalmente la experiencia del juego y los bugs, pues ahí están, ya para este punto se les podrían considerar como parte de la marca registrada de bethesda, aunque eso sí, la cantidad de los mismos es sustancialmente menor al promedio, por lo que se puede decir que es el juego "mejor pulido" que nos hayan entregado en bethesda    … 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.
