    Honestly can’t say much about this game as I could not get to run well enough to play more than 8hrs. Could not get it to run smoothly above 30fps on my 3060ti unless I played windowed. As is the game gives me nausea. What I was able to play through did not impress me all too much in terms of RPG depth, especially coming off BG3.

    Awful story. Too many loading screens.
    You can't explore a planet, just pre generated areas of planets. The game is a big lie. Trash ai.
    Ugly visuals with 30fps on top.

    Game too weak, too repetitive. I didn't like it. Bethesda without innovations, just changes the theme, but always bringing the same game every time.

    This game attempts many things and accomplishes very few, and the early game is an appallingly slow burn, forcing you to play many hours before you start to realize the fun parts will never arrive. Ground combat is Fallout 4 but slightly less clunky. Space combat feels like a series of unwieldy boxes whirling around above a planet, about as fast paced and exciting as helping an old ladyThis game attempts many things and accomplishes very few, and the early game is an appallingly slow burn, forcing you to play many hours before you start to realize the fun parts will never arrive. Ground combat is Fallout 4 but slightly less clunky. Space combat feels like a series of unwieldy boxes whirling around above a planet, about as fast paced and exciting as helping an old lady across the street. Any kind of space flight besides this is nonexistent, space exploration consists of loading screens and takeoff/landing cinematics. The other part of space exploration is running on foot thousands of meters across a fishbowl map on a generic planet or barren moon, to find the same copy/pasted outpost you discovered on the first moon you visited, with all the same items and npc's in the same exact places. Outpost building is an absolute joke. You would think it would be good, being the third iteration of Bethesda's building system, but in SPACE. It's not, it's 4 prefab structures, 2 landing pads (1 of which doesn't work) and a bunch of large stuff you have to build on the ground outside because there's no nice foundations to build and build on and they don't fit in the very generic premade hab shapes they give you. Followers are uninspired and forgettable and dialogue is limited to Good or Edgy. The only real effect of this dialogue is getting your boring pack animal companion to complain at you for not being enough of a Lawful Good Paladin type. The background and character building is vapid and thin, with my outlaw Professor being universally recognized for having briefly worked on a mining crew at the beginning of the game before getting railroaded into the main quest, or rather, the main series of identical fetch quests that lead you to the lazily written and plainly uninspired conclusion of the very forgettable main story. I paid a hundred bucks to get this in Early Access in spite of having Game Pass because I believed in the strength of the games Bethesda used to make, but the only memorable thing about this game is that I had to play well past the refund time to get the full scope of how bad this Triple-A blockbuster game turned out to be. I fear for the disaster that Elder Scrolls 6 is likely to be, and Bethesda has finally lost me entirely. After many games and thousands of cumulative hours, I won't day one or early access anything from them anymore because they can't be trusted.… Expand

    Relatively good graphics, but nothing special either.
    Otherwise it is boring.... empty... full of bugs... and has no soul, like most games nowadays.

    Arguably the worst single player Bethesda game ever made. Terrible soapy graphics with a green filter that makes your eyes tired. NPCs are terribly stupid, quests are not interesting and there are a lot of loading screens, outdated graphics, the game is not optimized. Terribly boring game and it's not an RPG.. It's not worth 100 euros. For me, Bethesda is completely dead...

Despite the anticipation, the game fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The promised immersive space exploration experience is marred by numerous bugs and technical issues. From crashes to texture pop-ins, the game feels unpolished and rushed.

    The story, touted as a grand interstellar epic, falls flat. It lacks depth and fails to engage players in a meaningful way. Characters are one-dimensional and their interactions feel forced. The dialogue choices, while promising, often lead to inconsequential outcomes, rendering the player's decisions insignificant.

    Graphically, Starfield does not meet the expectations set by modern gaming standards. The visuals are underwhelming, with subpar textures and lack of attention to detail. Environments lack variety and fail to capture the awe-inspiring wonder of space exploration.

    The gameplay mechanics also leave much to be desired. The controls are clunky and unresponsive, leading to frustrating combat encounters and navigation. The crafting and customization systems are convoluted, making it hard to engage with the game's mechanics in a meaningful way.

    Furthermore, the game's open-world structure feels empty and devoid of life. While space should be teeming with opportunities for discovery and excitement, Starfield's universe feels barren and monotonous. The lack of dynamic events or emergent gameplay further exacerbates the issue, leaving players with a sense of emptiness.

    In conclusion, Starfield for Xbox is a prime example of unfulfilled potential. It falls short in nearly every aspect, from technical execution to narrative depth and gameplay mechanics. For a game that promised to take players on an unforgettable journey through the stars, it ultimately delivers a forgettable and lackluster experience.    … 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.
