    An incredibly realized setting that exhibits a startling level of thoroughness and attention to detail; Teeming with rich and captivating lore; Locations throughout the sprawling galaxy exhibit an impressive level of variety; Excellent art design breathes life into the setting; Faction questlines boast incredible thematic, narrative, and gameplay experience, and tell engaging stories; Well written, well-acted companion characters with interesting storylines; Endless amount of ways to make your own fun; Constantly emphasizes player freedom, letting you be whoever you want to be; Combat is much punchier and more enjoyable than past BGS titles; Deep, flexible progression mechanics allow for a great deal of build variety; Spaceflight and combat never gets boring, thanks to tight controls and the power allocation system; Vast, expansive, and rewarding ship building toolset can keep you hooked for hours; Most polished and stable BGS launch yet.

    Bad-
    Combat is sometimes let down by frustrating enemy and companion AI; Some technical issues, most of which are rather minor.

    Thoughts-
    Even after having spent dozens of hours exploring the expanses of the Settled Systems, I feel like I’ve only just started scratching the surface. And while ordinarily an experience that massive might have started wearing thin for me by now, with Starfield, I’m still ravenously hungry to consume every little bit of it. It’s an incredible experience that not only boasts immense scale, but also backs it up with actual substance and legitimate depth. In the end, it delivers a landmark achievement in gaming that’s going to be spoken about for years to come- an accomplishment that Bethesda Game Studios is all too familiar with.    … Expand

    It's a quintessential Bethesda experience that is going to confuse people coming in and expecting something else. It sits on the throne of gaming with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout by its side.

    This is my first BGS game except for maybe fallout NV. And I’m absolutely in Love with starfield. Is it perfect? No but this experience so far has been. So all you PlayStation cultist cope because millions of people are enjoying starfield and as they should. Again not perfect but man what a blast so far.

    Le meilleur de Beteshda réunit en un seul jeu. On pourra toujours lui trouver des défauts mineurs, mais ce jeu restera une œuvre majeure dans le paysage vidéoludique.

This cosmic adventure takes players on an exhilarating journey through a meticulously crafted galaxy, offering an unparalleled mix of stunning visuals, immersive gameplay, and a captivating narrative.

    Visual Splendor:
    "Starfield" is a visual marvel. The game's engine showcases breathtaking space vistas, celestial bodies, and intricate spacecraft designs. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, from the gleaming surfaces of starships to the mesmerizing beauty of distant planets. Every celestial body feels unique, with its own ecosystems and terrain, making exploration a true visual delight. Character models and animations are equally impressive, adding depth to the game's immersive universe.

    Boundless Exploration:
    At its core, "Starfield" is a sandbox of limitless possibilities. You begin by creating your own character and choosing your backstory, setting the stage for a personalized adventure. The freedom to explore the vast galaxy is empowering, and Bethesda's open-world design shines through. As you pilot your starship through the cosmos, you'll encounter a sense of scale that is both breathtaking and believable. Whether you're embarking on interstellar voyages or engaging in intense dogfights with space pirates, the gameplay is fluid and immersive.

    The highlight of "Starfield" is planetary exploration. Each world you visit is a handcrafted masterpiece, teeming with life, mysteries, and opportunities. From ancient ruins to resource-rich landscapes, every planet is a unique experience. The game encourages exploration by rewarding players with valuable resources, lore, and the chance for meaningful interactions with the galaxy's diverse inhabitants.

    Compelling Storytelling:
    "Starfield" offers a gripping narrative that weaves political intrigue, ancient enigmas, and moral dilemmas into a cohesive and engaging storyline. The choices you make profoundly impact your character's reputation and alliances in the galaxy. Side quests and activities are abundant, providing a wealth of distractions from the main plot. Whether you're aiding colonists in building new settlements, investigating unexplained cosmic anomalies, or uncovering the secrets of long-lost civilizations, these diversions are often as enthralling as the central narrative.

    In Conclusion:
    "Starfield" is a monumental achievement in space gaming, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the genre. It marries stunning visuals, deep exploration, and a compelling narrative, inviting players to embark on a galactic odyssey like no other. Bethesda has delivered a game that will keep both veteran space explorers and newcomers captivated for countless hours. "Starfield" is not just a game; it's an interstellar adventure that will leave an indelible mark on the world of gaming.    … Expand

    O jogo começa lento e vai tomando forma de acordo com o pregresso do jogador, as mecânicas são apresentadas de forma que quase tudo é opcional. O jogo te dá liberdade de jogar na maneira que você escolher como a Melhor.
    Os gráficos são excelentes principalmente na construção de mundo onde até mesmo no Xbox series S as texturas tem resoluções altíssimas.

    The game is amazing. But it takes at least 10-15 hours to realize that. If I had to point out any dislike would be no seamless tradition from flying and landing on the planet. But that’s only because we compare to no man’s sky. The games’ story is amazing. You need very good rig to run on high but it pays off. So much to do in the game.

This game would have been impossible to develop 10 years ago due to the amount of loading times, but they don't even last 5 seconds, yes there are many menu screens and this is an important part of the game, not just walking, shooting and skipping all the dialogues. There's so much in the game, so many possibilities, so much hidden history, so much going on. The factions are very well built.

    I don't think it's a 10 game, but I gave it a 10 to contrast with the bias of bad ratings. I would give it an 8. I had a lot of fun, I think the stealth mechanics could have been a little better developed, as well as facial features in intense dialogues, small problems.
    Exploration would be more fun if it weren't so randomized every time you land in some corner of a planet. They wanted to give the feeling of infinite possibilities but created an immense lack of interest in random exploration. That's the only point that made me take 2 points out of the game.    … 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.
