Nota 10 para o jogo, sistema de mira muito precisa, e perfeita a maneira com que conseguimos, mesmo de longe, direcionar os tiros e como estes tiros atingem partes diferentes os inimigos, e como os inimigos são afetados AI perfeita, inimigos espertos que se esquivam e fogem quando então com dano, física é muito apurada, sensacional estar em gravidade zero, som espetacular, melhor game de 2023.… Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox, PlayStation and a Switch. I prefer PlayStation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the GameInformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovative, but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguably so.

    Upon writing , I have 50 hours of play time on Steam and 15 hours on Xbox. During my first 20 hours of playing, I was not a happy camper. I was getting annoyed with the constant loading screens, and the constant walking on worlds that had repeated content in the procedurally generated worlds. For example I kept on seeing the same cave, mine, animals, plants, and/or, outpost setup that these knew planets I was visiting didn't seem very different from each other. I ended up not letting myself go to random planets and started to only follow the main mission and side missions and I started liking the game a lot more and wanted to keep going. The handcrafted parts of the game was a breath of fresh air to me and turned my initial worry about the game around. I enjoy the space flight but wish we could travel to other planets manually, I get not being able to enter planets without a cutscene but I was expecting to be able to fly in space more than just specific areas. You pretty much have to fast travel everywhere and it ruins the journey for me. Of course, I wouldn't want to manually go everywhere all the time but here and there I would. I haven't ran into any major bugs and the miner ones I did run into would just be enemies glitching into the ground slightly and the characters not looking at you in conversation. Basically, I'm enjoying the story and side stories but besides how many planets there are, the outpost building, and ship building, this game is on par with the Mass Effect Series and most of those games were from two generations ago that accomplished most of the same things. I don't think this game is a masterpiece but it's worth the time to play.    … Expand

    it's hard to find a game that does time travel both in game and IRL but Starfield is just that. I've put in almost 50 hours already and was hooked on the first. the endless exploration doesn't feel so "one and done" and it highly rewards you for it, the combat (both space and planet side) feels impactful, and the environment is phenomenal - more than once I thought something was going toit's hard to find a game that does time travel both in game and IRL but Starfield is just that.

    Meccaniche vecchie, grafica obsoleta, su xbox x 30 fps da vomito, storia noiosa, ambiente piatto, espressioni facciali da C64, protagonista inesistente , insomma si poteva fare di più.
    Da questo gioco ho capito che è meglio stare alla larga da recensioni di testate del settore...ma quanti gadget hanno regalato per avere voti da 9 in su?

    I wish I could give this game a 100. for obvious reasons! As a gamer, when I spend money on something, I obviously want it to be a sure fire winner, to be amazing! etc. (without modders having to pick up the slack on PC)

    Anyways, so we've landed at a very realistic 8 out of 10. (I'd give an 8.5) if possible. (On the series X) I don't regret my purchase.

    Anyways, so we've landed at a very realistic 8 out of 10. (I'd give an 8.5) if possible. (On the series X)

    I don't regret my purchase. I do wish things were slightly different though!

    The game has a lot going for it as far providing a space adventure, the problem is, you have to dig through the "cluster cluck of menu's" and it's not a simple "tab over" page... It's this "Convoluted system" anytime you go to check out some critical bit of information. To me I feel like I'm fighting with the menus UI, at inconvenient times. Which makes matters worse.

    You also have to level up a bunch of stuff, just to have fun, messing around with ship designs.. & well that takes the fun out of things to be honest.. I can understand maybe engine upgrades, weapon upgrades, but to have to level up just to tinker with ship layout & design? That's a stale experience quick.

    You can't easily check out your location on a map, with 1 press of the "Select button".. (The button with 2 boxes on it on xbox controller)

    The local maps, on planets suck.

    Like I've spent so much time running around New atlantis lost (Compass/local maps again lacking).. It's not realistically designed.. It needs to be a "Space port".. as in I land & all the businesses, etc, that I'd deal with, need to be RIGHT THERE... Must have been a gov. sponsored civil engineer on the design team? that was like "lets spread everything out in a way that causes the player misery"...?

    The reason I say this, is just b/c SPACE is ALREADY HUGE.. Its fun at times, boring at others. Traveling that is.

    It's MORE ANNOYING than fun or even remotely realistic...

    It's cool to have atmosphere.. but if shops/businesses/Cities were tidy & tucked in, I believe it would give a "comforting" vibe instead of.. the joy of loading screens? (that's satire on the loading screen bit) (Like for example, I really like the Mars city of cydonia in a way, from a design layout point of view but I have to travel too far to get to shops where I need stuff)

    Speaking of which, it feels like there's too many loading screens?

    Anyways, like I said, the game has a lot of cool stuff going on, weapon wise, gameplay wise possibilities. I really wanted a better method of traversal over land instead of just the "jet pack".. even upgrading it max. I still have to walk like 1000's of kilometers just to check out an empty stupid cave.. or some other weird landmark that doesn't reward me..

    Basically a lot of cool possibilities exist, or potentially exist & Bethesda got in the way of the player having a really awesome time. To start out.. the experience is this HORRID slow burn... and its like.. Will I get wore out/burnt out from trying to earn experience to level up the stats I need, to have fun?

    What will break first, my attention span or the experience?    … Expand

    Imo, a great game. That only gets better the more you play. Skyrim is space. Who wouldnt love it. Some of it is still janky, some models, physics etc but the overall experience outweighs that. Anyone who rates this anything lower then a 7 is disingenuous.

    After playing for 62 hours so far, I can say that Starfield is a breath of fresh air. It’s an all-out Bethesda RPG and exceeds in just about every aspect. It has fantastic dialogue, endless exploration and you can truly do what you want. It’s everything I have dreamed of and more.

    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.
