    Hello everyone this is my opinionated and unbiased review of Bethesda Game Studios Starfield first of all this review does not contain any spoilers so is this Fallout in space let's dive in ahhh starfield the game that was promised as the least buggiest and most diverse game that you can explore and experience in my first hour of starting and playing I was introduced to my character andHello everyone this is my opinionated and unbiased review of Bethesda Game Studios Starfield first of all this review does not contain any spoilers so is this Fallout in space let's dive in ahhh starfield the game that was promised as the least buggiest and most diverse game that you can explore and experience in my first hour of starting and playing I was introduced to my character and the way the story sets itself up and I was taken to a my create a character screen and the options of making my character is pretty diverse and pretty easy to create and then you'll move to your past life I chose as a Bounty Hunter and then you'll move on to a screen where you can choose up to three traits the ones that I chose will be able to help my options in the story later on and one certain trait I chose is a character that can be apart of your crew and is very familiar to the fans of elder scrolls iv oblivion and within the second hour I was able to acquire a ship easily due to my Bounty Hunter option and was able to get into space pretty quick and there is a combat ship tutorial that you could complete and I tell you what the ship combat is pretty smooth and responsive and fluid and did not experience any problems and the gun and melee combat although if you never played a Fallout game its not that much different although the vats system that was in the Fallout games are not in this game it makes the timing and decision for who you want to shoot and or melee makes it better and smoother after you get the hang of it and exploring the cities and towns you'll definitely encounter different characters and side quests with each play through and listening to the npc's you might get helpful advice for a quest that your currently doing and or might be able to help them with something via a side quest and my playthrough so far I haven't really seen or experienced any bugs or glitches but there have been a few that are very little that will not affect how you play and closing remarks Starfield is a game that will not be for everyone although that's ok but if you want to experience something new and something that expands your imagination Starfield is the game for you great job Bethesda and everyone who helped make this the game that wanted me to go to space even more and can't wait to see what they bring to the table next.… Expand

    I was going to write a detailed review, but with the Work / Starfield balance, there is not much time to anything else.

    Let's go back to killing Terrormorphs on Londinian.

    Game of the generation.
    Bethesda has done it again.
    Congrats to all the team for bringing us an experience that we'll continue to play for the years to come.

    I hope Metacritic get rid of the review bombing as they did with Final Fantasy XVI, the game is awesome, but this is full of ps fanboys.

    Best Bethesda game I've played in so long. The last one I actually finished was Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and I spend WAY more time on this game than any other game in recent history. I don't play single player games very often anymore so this is a very nice change of pace. There's a certain level of magic in this galaxy and I HIGHLY recommend ACTUALLY giving it your time of day.

    Ce jeu est un Bethesda 100% pur sang, les graphismes sont exceptionnels sur Xbox X, je j'ai pas encore fini l'histoire en 40 heures car je devais level up mon vaisseau et j'étais bloqué. C'est juste génial de chercher la solution stopper le jeu y réfléchir une journée puis revenir pour essayer. J'adore, merci Bethesda pour ce retour aux sources. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is the disappointment of the year for me. Todd Howard had us with his lies again, over promising but under delivering, as per his habit. The game is an unfinished buggy mess with lots of quirky moments and game breaking bugs, graphically it looks rough at times and the story is pretty **** Skip this garbage and play Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or Baldur's Gate instead.… Expand

    Em pleno ano de 2023 essa aberração não deveria ser considerada um jogo AAA.
    O marketing em cima desse jogo foi enorme.
    Enquanto o público continuar aceitando games horríveis de empresa desse calibre a coisa não vai melhorar.
    Vergonha para a bethesda, isso que sou fã de fallout e skyrim.

    Graphics is decent but some are not policed, Story is generic, AI is bad it's from other game.
    you go. played 20 hours + and feels like a waste of time. you do the same thing over and over and it's not rewarding. This game was so overhyped Fallout 4 is way better than this game.

    I'm over four days into Starfield. If I could give "." This game is definitely ranging an 8.5-8.9. The game has a pretty alluring story and the side quests are for the most part extremely enjoying. Everyone finds a different point to fall into the game. For me it was once I left the mining planet. For others it's two, three, six, twelve hours in and it will vary person to person. The storyI'm over four days into Starfield. If I could give "." This game is definitely ranging an 8.5-8.9.

The story makes you question life itself and so many theories I've made from trailers all seems to be part of the bigger picture. That's my biggest love of this game: Everyone's experience and gameplay is a small piece of the bigger picture. If you haven't yet I highly recommend you give it a chance. Stick through with it so you can find your personal diamond and fall in love.… Expand

It has bugs, texture fails, the trees in certain planets look like they were copy and pasted from an N64 game… also the water has no splash effects and doors seem to be floating away from the wall… Honestly I can’t stress this enough don’t waste $70 on this title only buy it via gamepass or for $30. Now I will say the game is better via PC so if you do get it PC is the way !!!… Expand

    There are weaks, no doubt. But overall I love it. Everybody who expected an other game than a typical Bethesda-game like Fallout or Skyrim has themselfs to blame. The empty planets are okay, because the majority of all planets never will be settled. It makes the game more realistic in my opinion.
    Just try it out for longer than 10 hours, it will catch you.

    Absolutely trash never gonna play any Bethesda game ever again. It’s ridiculously unplayable and boring the story is bad and the „open world“ is a walking sim with nothing to do same assets, same old engine since 2006 and many more

    The best game ever made.

    It hooks you to the game unlike any other game. You even think about it in office hours and once you are back you start playing it till 3-4 AM. It might start slow but once you get the good stuff it won’t stop at all

    I have put nearly 80 hours into the game and feel like I've barely scratched the surface. This is by far my favorite game of 2023. The story is good, the side quests are super enthralling. I haven't really even delved into the ship builder, outposts or crafting which I'd really love to dive into. The combat is excellent, extremely polished shooting mechanics.

    Enjoyed it at first but soon realised it was all a lie. Terrible design choices with UI. Mediocre graphics, bugs, bad story, boring combat. I could go on and on but I don’t want to waste another second on this 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.
