With that said the game isn't perfect but if you liked fallout and the rpg aspect of skyrim then you'll more than likely love this even more. Forge your own opinion of the game, don't let reviewers forge it :) Happy gaming to everyone!… Expand

    Es ist leider nicht mehr als ein solides Spiel. Hätte eigentlich schon bei der Information der "prozedualen Regenerierung" wissen müssen, dass mir sehr viel langweilige Erkundung bevorsteht

    Starfield isn’t a bad game, it’s good, not great or exceptional, just good.

There is nothing next gen about it, there is no innovation. No, it even lacks the things that always made Bethesda RPGs so special, as the exploration and secret wonders to discover are greatly reduced in comparison to older Bethesda titles. It can absolutely be fun and addictive but has so many flaws and unfulfilled potential, that it essentially becomes both, fun and disappointing in equal measures, when it’s fun it’s an 8 and when it’s clunky and boring it’s a 5 so I can sadly only give it a 7, especially since performance even on my PC is really bad for a last gen looking title. It would even be bad if it looked like a next gen title, which it never does.… Expand

    22 hours in and I have to doff my cap to Bethesda.

    Being a massive Fallot and Skyrim fan expectations for Starfield were obviously high but Bethesda have delivered and then some.

    Tons of quests, ship building, space exploration and more, the only downside is not enough hours in the day to play, but obviously that's not the devs fault.

    9/10 in my opinion. I've been eagerly awaiting Starfield since it was first announced, and have been playing since it went live on Game Pass. It has been a long while since a game has sucked me in from the beginning, to the point that I lose track of time and have to set an alarm to keep from playing past the point of reason. But Starfield is that game. An especial feature that I feel9/10 in my opinion.

It has been a long while since a game has sucked me in from the beginning, to the point that I lose track of time and have to set an alarm to keep from playing past the point of reason. But Starfield is that game. An especial feature that I feel needs extra attention is that while my poor, well-loved Xbox One could never play this if it was installed, I can play on the cloud streaming service without any issues at all beyond the occasional pixelization and input lag.

    Pros:

    Immediately engrossing story and setting
    Fantastic and believable worldbuilding
    Interesting characters
    Ridiculously complex ship and outpost building mechanics
    Enjoyable ship combat
    Fun and vastly improved foot combat
    Addictive system and planetary exploration
    Truly impressive visuals even compressed and truncated for streaming and back-compatibility
    The game is almost exactly as described; virtually every feature highlighted by BGS in promotional is present and works as described, with very little over-promised or misportrayed.

    Cons:

    The map system needs refinement; local maps are not helpful
    The tutorial system needs expansion and rework; many of the most useful and immersive elements are not mentioned at all, many systems are not explained properly, nor are the tutorials particularly well-written or integrated well    … Expand

Let's be honest here, this isn't an open world game at all. You don't feel like you're free to explore because everything is stuck behind multiple loading screens and closed off sections.

    A real shame, especially when it comes to flying the spaceship because they look great, the personalisation and interiors are cool, and the fighting is fun. But that's limited to the emptiness of space.

    A lot of mechanics in the game are also pointless and retract from the experience. The main one being O2/CO2 levels where you can't even run for more than 10 seconds without getting health damage. What's the point of that? That's not fun for anyone.

    Graphically it's a nice game, and there was clearly a lot of time and effort put into the design of objects and the world in general. But the stale gameplay, constant load screens & menus - just don't make it worth it.    … 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.
