Random generated planets after landing, super side missions and huge world, ship customization and nice crew give us truly amazing space game. Graphic is very good, views are insane and created places are stunning, this is huge Fallout in space, fun and very addictive game in Bethesda tropical style. Creation Engine have some problems, but mostly with optimization, with is not bad if you compare other huge games from this year, and flop games on Unreal bug engine. Still on two my PCs game works fine, without one crash, with stable playable FPS on Ultra settings. This is a true AAA game, one of the best in this year.… Expand

    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

    The story is flat and wooden. Out of the gates I fail to find any kind of immersion, the voice acting is flat and while the story arc is a fantastic concept it just doesn’t deliver. It tries to do a lot; none of which very well.

    With the exception of my interactions with the Crimson fleet missions were little more than fetch this for loosely related purposes and get that because ‘reasons’. Nothing really ties together very well. Loot is horrendous, nothing seems to be that unique or related to a mission set, items are quite similar; none descript, grey, common.

    Each planet or area feels empty and certain devoid of purpose. You land basically on the same planet each time where the surface, minerals and the animals are slightly different with a view habs containing random gear. It also misses some of the slightly more goofy sides of previous titles; you don’t build a giant robot, or meet a robotic space captain gone rogue or becomes besties with the undead.

    This is a £30 title at best, if you can play it free on game pass do it; except for Baldur’s Gate 3 (which is exceptional) there’s little else going on, but I’d think twice about paying £50-60 for it. Even the free version will leave you disappointed. I’ll leave on a positive note and that is the game does a great job with the way they introduce NG+, sadly I doubt I’ll be taking advantage of it.    … Expand

    There shouldn't be a prerequisite to games that you need to complete hours of boring gameplay before you get to the good stuff. Space travel is next to non-existent. The "space travel" is really just a glorified load screen as it simply changes appearance and promots fast travel immediately.    … Expand

    I really liked Starfield, The main story is engaging and well-written, The side quests are also varied and rewarding. The game looks stunning on the Xbox Series X, with detailed graphics and great performance and The sound design is also impressive. The game does not support Arabic language, which is disappointing for Arabic speakers like me.

    Overall, Starfield is a great game.

Fast forward to 2023, the gaming industry has changed. Almost every Triple A studio has surpassed BGS when it comes to open world games in combat design, story, gameplay, world building, and exploration. FromSoft, Guerrilla, MonolithSoft, Nintendo, and CDPR to name a few. Sadly despite huge promises, Starfield is an outdated game with an unimaginative story, subpar combat, and several clunky gameplay systems that are poorly explained. Poor optimization on both PC and Xbox are far from a current gen showpiece. Monotonous and uninspired are the two best words to describe Starfield.… Expand

    Jetzt aber zum Spiel, klar die Story ist hier und da noch überarbeitungsfähig, allerdings gab es auch genug Spiele die nicht einmal dieses Level beim Release erreichen.

    Die Flugsteuerung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, ich fühle mich ein wenig sehr an die Hand genommen vom Entwickler da ich nicht selbst landen oder starten kann, ich wünschte mir an der Stelle sie hätten sich mit den Entwicklern von elite dangerous zusammen gesetzt.

    An sich macht das Spiel trotz allem echt Spaß und das schiffs Design der normal kaufbaren Schiffe ist mega gelungen allerdings ist durch die eingeschränkte flugerfahrung das alleinige Design relativ egal.

    Story an sich ist cool gemacht, wenn die Kommunikation mehr Emotionen zeigen würden würde alles auch besser rüber kommen und es würde einen mehr mitreißen.

    Aber zu guter letzt würde ich sagen trotz allem ein Spiel was es wert ist gespielt zu werden und wenn noch weitere Elemente hinzugefügt werden könnte ich wie bei skyrim mit den richtigen mods tausende von Stunden spielen    … Expand

    Hello fellow gamers. As an enormous fan of Elder Scrolls and Fallout, I was excited to see what was in store in this game. I had zero expectations after the Fallout 76 launch experience (which we don't have to talk about), and was willing to give it a chance. I heard all the promises made to us, and what the game was supposed to be, so I had an idea of what to expect.

    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.
