    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.

    Começo avisando que o jogo não é perfeito. Pra mim, os dois principais são: a a falta de expressões nas animações faciais dos personagens e a inteligência artificial.

    Citado os problemas, é importante dizer que sim, Starfield é um jogo de nicho. Se a temática não é do seu interesse, não insista, o jogo não vai te agradar. Agora, se você, assim como eu, gosta do tema, Starfield ganha outra dimensão. A história e a riqueza de detalhes narrativos, são o ápice do jogo. Todos os elementos de RPG, juntos, constroem uma camada complexa e rica, fazendo você não conseguir parar de jogar. É isso que, no fundo, eu espero de um jogo de vídeo game. O jogo precisa me prender, precisa me fazer sentir estar dentro daquela narrativa, precisa ser crível. E isso, Starfield faz com muita competência.

    Infelizmente o jogo vai receber muita nota baixa de pessoas que provavelmente nem são o público do jogo ou que nem jogaram. Não se deixe iludir. Se você gosta de temática espacial, precisa jogar Starfield.    … Expand

    That 'magical' Bethesda feeling in this game is just not there. The freedom to go anywhere is just not there. The memorable moments and characters is just not there. I really wanted to love Starfield. But I can unfortunately just give it a mild recommendation

The plot is not captivating, I feel that it is very stilted and does not sufficiently develop any threads, from the beginning I got the impression of unnecessary haste and lack of world-building. The game is a typical mediocre, which may be worth buying on promotion, unfortunately for me even this will not encourage me to finish.… Expand

What shocked me the most is that the codes from Oblivion work in a game from 23!
    The game deserves 7/10, but given the misleading marketing I take away one point, because it is unacceptable for corporations to make such a mockery of players. To reviewers giving 10/10 I recommend going to confession.    … Expand

    Bethesda studios exploiting same game engine for over 20 years. They selling the same game to the audience for 2 decades. This game is not enjoyable, it's a grind with loading screens, mediocre story, bad performance, low quality npc faces, and empty planets.

    There is ONE HUGE problem. There are no 1000 planets. There are actually zero. Why? You land in a generated area. And if you walk to the invisible wall you have to take off and land again. When you land in an area which is as close as possible, this landscape will have no overlapping points with the first area. So the planets are just pictures. They are not there.

And if you walk to the invisible wall you have to take off and land again. When you land in an area which is as close as possible, this landscape will have no overlapping points with the first area. So the planets are just pictures. They are not there. If they were it would be a 9.0 to 9.5. But without i have to subtract 7 points. And another minus point for the inclusion of crazy modern political correctness ideology.

    So what is the "map" of starfield? Imagine grabbing a pack of sheets for your printer. Then going up the empire state building and throwing them down. Throwing them down and watching them fly around in the air. This is starfields "planets". A huge amount of procedurally generated sheets of landscape which have no connection to each other whatsoever and are absolutely independent.
    They are also not permanent. The points of interest are being created in your landing zone. But you can not have an endless amount of landing zones on a planet. So your landscape, the buildings and caves you visit just disappear and get deleted sooner or later, if you keep on adding landing zones. Nothing is forever. Things just disappear into nothingness. And the planets are not even there in the first place. All is a lie.

    There is also no real space you can travel in. There are only predefined spots in front of a planet. You can not fly around a planet. You just do your things in space with a picture of a fake planet in front of you which is not even there. No way to fly from the earth to the moon. Only fast travel with a loading screen. Movement in space is basically "fast travel- the game". Gets you right to the fun. There is no endless or very high amount of outposts you can build on 1000 real life sized promised planets. Only about 24 after you leveled up. If you want more previous ones will be deleted.

    There are extreme limitations to this game and the size that was promised by BGS is not there at all. The immersion of typical BGS games is gone, since there is no solid ground you can stand on. Little areas are being procedurally generated and vanish again. Nothing is really there. Everything is a temporary illusion which robs you of any motivation to play this game.

    To explore. Why would you explore, if what you explored gets deleted afterwards? Why would you "walk on" if you hit an invisible wall after 4km and must teleport into a different disconnected area somewhere, but not over there behind the invisible wall. You can walk on for a few km in one direction and that is it. So you can not experience the 1000 planets, since there are zero planets in this game. Basically the whole world is a lie. And you see and feel it all the time. Which makes this game basically worthless to me.

    The main story and side quests are nice and well enough designed and written. The combat is very fun. The weapons and modifications are great. The graphics are stunning. NPC design and looks are good. Persuasion system is great. Outpost building and ship building very nice and rather outstanding. Music is great. The cities are awesome in principle, but you get a lot of loading screens when moving from area to area. The 3d objects you can loot and look at and place somewhere are awesome. The ability to influence NPCs and talk to them is great. The freedom to shoot or kill them is great. The landscapes which are supposed to be on celestial bodies look awesome and are very diverse and of a high quality. The amount and the design of flora, fauna, monsters, animals and points of interest in an area "on a planet" is great and very fun.

    The game is full of great components. But they all are hardly worth anything, since the whole continuum, the world that you are in, is a lie. Since it is nowhere. Not on a planet. The planet is not there and you know it. Which is not good enough for this game, since it promised over 1000 real life sized planets. This was the main point for me to buy this game. And it turned out to not be real at all. I can not walk for 100 km in one direction, noticing the differences in flora and fauna and landscape as i wanted to. And this was the first thing i wanted to do in this game.    … Expand

    Based on the content currently displayed in the game, the attitude of the Starfield production team is problematic. I don't understand, when the loading screen that occurs when opening doors can clearly be replaced with an animation, why won't Todd do it? Sometimes the loading blackout even happens after the door opening animation.

A história principal (que nunca foi o forte da Bethesda) está muito foda, e as secundárias estão ótimas como sempre.

    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.
