    Amazing game. Graphics are great and gameplay is even better. Haven't touched the main story and I'm 50hrs into the game.

    I honestly think this is a great game, with so much to do, sure there are things that they could have done better, like actual space exploration and land vehicles, but it's a bit of the familiar mixed with something new. Give it a try it's definitely worth it, as for the PS5 fans review bombing it, it's so unessessary PS has so many great exclusives you should be grateful for them and justI honestly think this is a great game, with so much to do, sure there are things that they could have done better, like actual space exploration and land vehicles, but it's a bit of the familiar mixed with something new.

    A solid Bethesda game, and if this is what you went in expecting (unlike some children who thought this game would be the second coming of video game
    Jesus) then you will not be disappointed.
    Excellent story, wonderful side quests and the guns feel great. Probably my favourite Bethesda game. Remember children, don’t be mad because the features YOU thought were coming aren’t there. Play

    Remember children, don’t be mad because the features YOU thought were coming aren’t there. Play the game and judge it for what it is, a great Bethesda game.

    9/10 because no video game is ever 10/10, all art is iterative.

    It's a great game but starts slow. After 8-10 hours it turns interesting, it's basically Fallout in space!

    Nothing new Bethesda fails again. Starting with a bad price-quality ratio. What we got was a new Skyrim with a buggy, weak main plot, mediocre graphics and hideous character faces. The map, UI, AI and expansion are pennies than TES, WHICH IS SIMPLY STUPID. Ship combat and gunplay are at best done at an average level.

    Fantastic game where you can choose what you're playing. Want full RPG, do it. Space sin type, do it. Base building, got it. Spaceship creation, it's there. Playing it on a Series X and apart from a rare hiccup it's smooth and looks great, the level of detail is quite incredible. If you loved Fallout you'll love this.

    I don't understand how people can't feel attachment to the companions NPC's or don't feel the depth in their stories. IMO is one of the best things Starfield offers. WAAAY better than Skyrim or Fallout.
    The main story is simply intriguing, entertening and beautiful.
    Sound, music and voice acting are just incredibly amazing. Feeling exactly what Bethesda wanted to show with such a seemly

    Even if textures and graphics are not the most advanced, still makes huge steps since fallout 76.
    Side stories or secondary missions are incredibly good, as Bethesda always does.

    IMPO this game doesn't deserve notes below 7.5 idk why the extreme hate.

    Funny how some people gave a mid score even talking good about the game, lol.

    Jogo muito bom para quem gosta de RPG no estilo fallout 3 ou 4.
    O que nao pode ser deixado de lado que ele é uma mistura de fallout com Elite Dangerous e No man sky. Historia, final, e mecânica. Não achei nenhuma mecânica nova ou historia inovadora. Mas para quem estava querendo mais fallout ou The Elder Scrolls, vai se divertir. quem não gosta desses jogos esqueça o starfield, quem busca

    It's a great game. If you like Skyrim and Fallout - you will like that one too. They finally fixed weapons, leveling up feels great, quests are awesome. Really,
    Optimization problem is not really a problem. Have you seen videos of people spawning thousand of toilet paper rolls and it runs smooth? There can be fps drops when game trying to load some location but playing on my laptop's 3060

    No seamless space travel? Well, treat it like a mass effect game, not No man's sky game. And you won't have discomfort

    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.

    This game honestly feels like it was made 10 + years ago.

    the game is a buggy mess despite what fanboys say,the game is boring,and clunky.Id argue this is the most overhyped game of all time and bethesda is obviously just paying reviewers to say good thing about it..and bethesda fanboys havent a clue what a good game is if it came up and smacked em. Im glad it came to gamepass

    Bethesda make the best massive world RPG's and Starfield is no different. Ignore the Sony backbenchers spreading lies and deceit because it's not on their plastic box of choice. Game of the god dam year.

    Lo que pudo ser y no fue.

    Puntos importantes. Jugabilidad: tosca, se siente anticuado. Hemos retrocedido dos generaciones. BSO: Muy bueno, es el Oasis en el desierto. Te sumerge de lleno en un escenario galáctico. Estilo gráfico: flaquean y engrandece a la vez... Carencias que se notan los años de desarrollo. Optimización: rendimiento nefasto, tanto en mi Series X como en PC de alto

    So I was worried starfield was over hyped so I got game pass and played it. At first I was not a fan but it grew on me and then bam there the good ol Bethesda. Making me mad then so comfy everything is alrite. I really like this game. Now that said the miniplanetmap is garbage just garbage. It's the 22nd century how does the character not jave one active.

    Having never played a bethesda game, i didnt know what to expect, just seeing their history so i assumed it would be intresting.

    the pros
    1. very expansive game, freedom to choose my path
    2. intresting storyline,
    3. a space game that is right in my wheel house.
    4. the ability to use my gamesave on both xbox and pc
    5. many hours of fun wether its fighting pirates in space or on the ground to just delivering parcels and all inbetween.

    the cons
    1. the tutorial system is lacking (no where near as harsh as eve online i have played for years)
    2. i have had a number of crashes to desktop
    3. i have had a few bugs where the characters i have to talk to are not there (fixed via reload the game).
    4. loading screens (but later they become useful)

    This game is a convergence point for everything Bethesda has learned over the years via their previous games and because of that it is truly a master piece.

    Very meh. Some fun to be had, but it is mediocre. More of an rpg than Fallout 4, but somehow not as good. Xbox needed this to be an amazing game, but it isn't. If avowed is a horrible game, I'm selling my series x. This is ridiculous

    This game lacks substance, the direction, the thought is great but the execution is terrible. Put this potential gem back in the oven for another 2 more years and maybe they can flesh out some proper exploration game play.
    I know Xbox gamers are hungry for a smash hit but this just isn't it, however when you have been starved for so long, anything would be considered great.

    Critic score is misleading, User score reflects properly, and for the love of God Bethesda, retire the creation engine, its dated and the cracks are showing

    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.

    It's a big game, but starts way too slowly, and may never get interesting.

    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.
