    Bethesda pura, es entendible que no a todo el mundo le gusten este tipo de juegos, pero sabíamos a lo que veníamos. Como pega el siste ma de pantallas de carga que se queda un poco anticuado.

The game offers an expansive universe teeming with activities, ensuring every step you take unfurls a captivating diversion. While this might be overwhelming for some, it's delightful for others..

    One of Starfield's standout features is the intricate ship customization, a hard endeavor initially, but once mastered, it serves as a canvas for your creativity, inspiring vessels or, for those less artistically inclined, functional workhorses. Bethesda's hallmark freedom to role-play finds its zenith here, allowing you to embody roles ranging from an unassuming errand boy to a ruthless pirate, or a morally ambiguous "entrepreneur".

    Exploration is an exhilarating affair, if not flawless. Surveying systems unfurls a trove of side quests and hidden "treasures" within structures and caves, revealing breathtaking vistas of the boundless Starfield. However, the carry weight system proves to be a sore point, even with skill improvements. The constant threat of encumbrance looms, potentially stifling the thrill of loot gathering.

    While the game's narrative horizon knows no bounds, the map's spatial limitations feel somewhat confining. This quashes the hope for land vehicles.

    The companion relationship system, although a welcome feature, occasionally exhibits inconsistencies. Actions or decisions that elicit disapproval may, bafflingly, garner favor later on, leaving you puzzled by the mercurial sentiments of your digital confidants.

    A minor blemish comes in the form of frequent loading screens (even that, by this date, none took more than 8 seconds, usualy they take between 3-5 seconds), an aspect that, though not a game-breaker, disrupts the otherwise seamless immersion.

    Despite these nitpicks, Starfield emerges as an enthralling spacefaring adventure, offering a galaxy of opportunities for creativity, exploration, and role-play. Bugs, while present, tread lightly, avoiding critical disruptions to the gameplay experience.

    With a day and around ten hours "under my belt", navigating the cosmos has been a thrilling experience (deadly at some points, I'm talking to you space pirates!). The diversion into side quests has been irresistibly magnetic. Starfield is another proof to Bethesda's prowess in crafting immersive RPG worlds, beckoning players to lose themselves in the grandeur of space.

    In summary, Starfield's ambitious foray into the RPG cosmos earns it a well-deserved 9/10. It isn't without its minor quirks, but its strengths far outweigh the occasional stumble.    … Expand

    Estou com muitas horas de jogo, e tenho ótimas primeiras impressões, eu achei o jogo muito divertido e intrigante, todo planeta tem um mistério e alguma historia.
    O jogo tem poucos bugs, e as quedas de fps não são frequentes, o jogo em si é muito bom, mas devido a perfomance ele não chega a ser perfeito.

    Really loving this game. Been playing BGS titles since Fo3 and think this game has built on everything they've set up since then. Is it perfect? No but it is really really good; if you enjoy their style of RPG you can sink your teeth into this one and not feel like it wasn't worth while.

    Skyrim and fallout in Space. What's not to love! Jumping into a new planet is incredible, and finding endless things to do and remembering this planet is only a small side portion of what the game has to offer.

    While the game has some spots that I’m not a huge fan of (no planet to planet flight without fast travel). This is by far one of the best games I’ve played. The main line story is great and all the side content is fun and sometimes better than the main story. The ship building is a total time sink if you really get into it also. Great game that I highly recommend.

    Starfield is no NMS and it doesn’t have to be - because it’s way better than that. Sure, we cannot fly from planet to planet, but who needs that if there’s a story and side quests you can travel way deeper into than you could travel in any solar system?

    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

    I’ve been looking forward to Starfield ever since it was announced and it was well worth the wait. Everything from the exploration, RPG elements, down to the story are very well down. It has a few flaws here and there as does every other game. But nothing to take away from the joy and excitement you get from playing the game. One of Bethesdas best!

    I have been playing since early release and I can say that I find it to be what I would expect from Bethesda. Being set in not a continent, planet or solar system but a universe makes the fast travel system not only necessary but very helpful. Side quests are where it is at, much like every other Bethesda game.

    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.
