    Very good game with some issues. The overall experience is fantastic. Too bad sony fanboys are review bombing it.

    Spent more than a couple days playing Starfield and honestly I was blown away by the level of interactions you get at every turn. What I love the most about the game is the amount of quests you get to do and how much they can really impact you and your character in the game. It's becoming SO easy to not even DO the main quest and just continue getting lost with every side quest.

What I love the most about the game is the amount of quests you get to do and how much they can really impact you and your character in the game. It's becoming SO easy to not even DO the main quest and just continue getting lost with every side quest. Don't get me wrong, the main quest is good as well but these sides quests are truly something special as well. Wasn't much into Starfield till I saw the Direct and was truly amazed by the gameplay/gun-play. I'm a sucker for these types of shooters and being able to switch between 1st and 3rd person makes it perfect in my opinion though I mostly play in 3rd person. Was sad to see that it's locked to 30fps on console though but honestly with how smooth it runs mixed with the gameplay I just forget it's 30fps. As for the cons of the game, I too came into thinking there would be bugs/glitches but to my surprise...nothing. Not to say the game is "bug free" but the game is more polished than one might expect and as mentioned before, it just runs smooth. Frames do tank just a bit in New Atlantis but outside of that (to me) I haven't experienced any frame issues on my Series X. All in all, I think Bethesda knocked it out of the park with Starfield that adds the perfect amount of everything to the mix to make this game become special now and in the future. As of writing this, there are mentions of mod supports that's not just PC but will be on console too and I can't wait to see what that has to offer.… Expand

    My experience has been horrible!!!! On everything this has to be the absolute worst game of all time. For those who purchased this game I recommend you get a refund this moment! Do not let them get away with giving mediocre quality. Enough is enough!

    Es un juego que en principio se escucha bien, pero sobre el papel está todo mal, la exploración es repetitiva, muchos bug la inteligencia artificial muy mal desarrollada, un juego que no atrapa para nada, y lo más interesante que es armar tu propia nave después no tiene sentido, los enfrentamientos se sienten de hace 3 generaciones atrás, en fin un juego que pudo dar más y se quedó corto.

    Bethesda isn't known for making graphically impressive games RPG's and Starfield, although an improvement to their older games can't held a candle to the current graphics we see on current gameconsoles and pc's. Also for animation wouldn't the studio win prices and here is also a game that has the well know wooden animations for the characters you meet. It's the same old engine they usedBethesda isn't known for making graphically impressive games RPG's and Starfield, although an improvement to their older games can't held a candle to the current graphics we see on current gameconsoles and pc's. Also for animation wouldn't the studio win prices and here is also a game that has the well know wooden animations for the characters you meet. It's the same old engine they used for all their games and the engine team lacks the technical expertise or ambition to make a better engine.
    What this game is in comparison to their previous titles is that it's bigger. That unfortunately doesn't mean that it's better. Whenever you go and "explore" one of the 1000 planets you will be met with a copy of a handful of stations where the same enemies on the same locations will do the same you have seen on other planets. It's makes exploring shockingly dull and repetitive.
    The promise of exploration is clearly a lie as the game is divided in procedurally created tiles. Where modern games stream those tiles on the go here you have to fast travel to the next panel. It doesn't work well as it break the emersion. Even space is a tile.
    Every tile and interior gets you a loading screen. In 2023 you expect instant loading but no you have to wait up to 5 seconds and it happens all the time.
    Is everything bad? No the story is fine and the side missions are sometimes even good but like everything with this game it's done much better in other games. The shooting is the best Bethesda ever put in their RPG's but that is a low bar and don't expect to play a great shooter, it's serviceable.
    Not counting Fallout 76 this is the worst rpg Bethesda released and I can't advice you to spent your money or time on.    … Expand

    i don't have much time for play each day, so i chose to play BG3 now, BG3 have a lot of story line too, and it does look like a"game of 2023".
    i can't recommend starfield now, his systeme need some update. I will wait some mods.
    it does work, but it is not 2011 now

    I've walked on a planet for 15 minutes and it was completely empty. This game tricks you into thinking that there's a lot to do, while in reality it is just a big empty open world.

    Best WRPG (Western Role Playing Game) since the The Mass effect Trilogy. Bethesda has improved thier gameplay, and storytelling while breaking new ground in gaming. Do not allow yourself to be fooled by the fake reviews please go play this game for your self soon as possible.

    Nice graphics, mediocre gameplay, but I ultimately refunded it due to the woke agenda in the game. Never buying a game that includes pronouns, alphabet stuff, modern feminism, or race-swapping.

    I don't normally write reviews, tbh I normally cba, but as so many salty ps players have jumped on I thought I'd drop a deserved rating on here. , don't worry tho Spiderman will drop soon and u can all go back to shooting your webs instead of shooting into your sisters knickers.

    A game full of invisible walls and fake fredoom that actually is on-rail story. You can't kill any NPC, there are lots of bugs and the space exploration is a lie. Es un juego que deberia costar 20 euros como mucho y peor que Cyberpunk 2077 de salida.

    Amazing game. At the beginning it is a bit difficult to understand it because the game has so much content and options that you might feel overwhelmed.. but once you understand it, the game becomes very very fun and you will definitely have a good time playing it and exploring all the possibilities the game offers. Great job Bethesda and Xbox!!

    Lack of exploration, recycled locations and a weak story makes for a standard affair. Combat feels good however with plenty of weapons at your disposal, free to try on Gamepass is a bonus.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played this highly anticipated game and all I kept waiting for was the "ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND" moment that sadly never came. All I was confronted with was a barren wasteland of empty space! Missing were the magical discovery moments! The type of moments you dream of as a kid when you looked up at the night sky and see shooting stars. This was supposed to be the ONE, the stuff of legends that we'd all be applauding for the next decade! This was supposed to be the gold standard of all games moving forward! There are no next gen moments! Somewhere in an alternate universe, they probably got it right, but in this reality, they fumbled the ball! This has to be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history so far. How does something that took 25 years to become a reality, ended up as a nightmare? Fool me once shame on me.... fool me twice....… Expand

    Game is great I already have 36 hours into it and only completed 6 main story missions and 2 factions. I have spent hours just flying around and getting quests and being sent all over the star system. I can’t wait to play this game for years to come.

    0/10 (if I could give it lower, I would)

    I can hardly find words to express just how profoundly disappointed I am in Starfield. This game is an absolute travesty, an affront to all that's sacred in the world of RPG gaming. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Exploration, or Lack Thereof: Starfield's promise of a vast, breathtaking universe was nothing but a cruel joke.    0/10 (if I could give it lower, I would)

    I can hardly find words to express just how profoundly disappointed I am in Starfield. This game is an absolute travesty, an affront to all that's sacred in the world of RPG gaming. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy.

    Exploration, or Lack Thereof: Starfield's promise of a vast, breathtaking universe was nothing but a cruel joke. Every planet I visited was a soulless, barren wasteland with nothing remotely interesting to see or do. It's as if the developers forgot that exploration is supposed to be fun.

    Storytelling? More Like Storytorture: The story in Starfield is an insult to storytelling. I've seen more engaging plots in children's picture books. The characters are so one-dimensional that cardboard cutouts have more depth. It's mind-numbingly boring and completely devoid of any emotional resonance.

    Gameplay That Makes You Want to Scream: Playing Starfield is like trying to run a marathon with both legs tied together. The mechanics are clunky, the combat is a chaotic mess, and the quest design is the definition of tedium. I'd rather do my taxes on a Friday night than subject myself to this torture again.

    A Technical Nightmare Beyond Belief: Bugs? Glitches? Starfield has them in abundance. The game is so riddled with issues that it's a wonder it even runs. From game crashes to save file corruptions, it's clear that quality control was a foreign concept during development.

    To sum it up, Starfield is not just a disappointment; it's a cataclysmic failure of epic proportions. It's a slap in the face to RPG enthusiasts everywhere, and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. This game doesn't deserve a 0/10; it deserves to be erased from existence.    … 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.
