    Definitely not for everyone but if you like Bethesda games and you like mass effect chances are you'll love this. I'm already over 48 hours of game time in and I've not been this hooked on a game for years.

    Llevo jugadas unas 25 horas de juego y me esta pareciendo una maravilla , no es perfecto pero tampoco es malo es un juego bastante bueno con una buena historia misiones secundarias exploración divertida , y es para mi el juego más pulido con mejor jugabilidad y gráficos que a echo Bethesda, si te gusta la exploración los disparos y unas bonitas historias juégalo sin pensarlo

    Bugged trash, loading simulator or ugly NPC simulator? Not sure yet. You realy can see the absolut lack of interest from the developers.

    It's an incredible new adventure made by Bethesda. A complete and immersive universe with thousands of worlds to explore, specie's to find and much more. With two hours of gameplay I was completely taken by the of feeling of being an explorer and starship pilot. Probably this is the game I'll be playing for the next 10 years. 10 of 10!

    30 FPS on the 'world's most powerful console'? What a joke. I'm not even talking about ancient post Skyrim architecture. Such a disappointment after all those years.

    Boring game after couple hours, character animations are bad and soulless, 30fps makes the game even more unenjoyable, repetitive missions over and over.
    It's basically looks like a 10 years old game, graphics look so gen 8th ish.

    Do not play this **** This is a Space Morrowind with no openworld.
    This game should never be played by anyone

    The main positive thing I can say about Starfield is that the gameplay is more than solid which is to be expected from a studio with the pedigree of Bethesda. They really seem to have RPG game mechanics down. And for a Bethesda game, it is free of any serious bugs, which is nice.

    Apart for that I found the game very soulless and generic. The graphics are fine, nothing special.

They really seem to have RPG game mechanics down. And for a Bethesda game, it is free of any serious bugs, which is nice.

    Apart for that I found the game very soulless and generic. The graphics are fine, nothing special. Looks like they are from the last generation. The planets are very dull and contents are often repeated so they never feel unique or special. The character dialogue is absolutely cringeworthy at points. The characters themselves aren't completely horrible but the designs are so bland, like people you'd see at an office. Nothing interesting about them at all. They lack spark. The story is, again, nothing special. Very forgettable. "Nothing special" seems to be the theme of the game.

    The main problem is that the game has current day written all over it. You literally have to choose your PRONOUNS at the beginning. Not kidding. I never remember any Bethesda game doing that. Also going back to the characters, the amount of forced diversity, badass, unattractive women and women who look like they work in a HR department are plentiful. For a game that is so bland to begin with, this breaks the immersiveness and reminds you are playing a game made in modern day California, not exploring on planets far away. It seems all AAA games these days are cursed with modern day woke identity politics which is a big deal-breaker for me and, I'm guessing, a lot of other people.

    Would not recommend.    … Expand

    Starfield is an average game full of bugs and frame drops, and Beck gave me a very low level experience.

    Es aburrido, se traba todo el tiempo
    No tengo un PC ultra moderno. Ryzen 5 3600x 16 de ram y 2070 con esto juego muchos portentos como cyberpunk, RDR2 MFS a 1440 casi todo en alto y bastante fluido. Entre 50 y 70fps esta porquería va a unos 50fps y después se bloquea continuamente. O sea, 0fps. Y tienen la csradurez de decirte que actualices tu PC.. Típico de estos idiotas

    I played starfield on PC & genuinely did not like it. Its an empty shell when compared to a game like skyrim or even oblivion in some aspects. Only the Xbox fanboys are hyping up this mid game is cuz its not on Playstation.

    The graphics are from 2014, the gameplay is janky and not good, the NPCs are dumb and ugly, its chock full of loading screens & exploration is unrewarding and not fun.

Not to mention there's woke sh!t in it as usual. Also remember back when there was only either male or female option? Well now you get to choose not only gender but also your pronouns! Yay!!! In my opinion, it deserves a 3/10 but I'll give it a 1 cuz of the way these shills have been praising this crappy game.    … Expand

    'Starfield' is an unfinished game that should not be released. Repeated loading is severe. Moreover, optimization is very bad. In particular, Starfield is like a mobile game where you take a spaceship and go to space. I was so disappointed. No Man's Sky is a better space game than Starfield. Also, the action was very bad.

    This isn't the game I wanted. Not my Bethesda game. Just broken promises. Maybe it was the engine or maybe the xbox series S, aka the Potato, fault. Who knows, but I'm so disappointed and can't believe they made it so bad. No one should get this awful game.

    Bethesda at its best!
    Great story, on the main quests and several side quests. Some of them extend for hours and hours with a very engaging plot.
    Excellent characters with deep personality. Conversations have meaning and purpose. They will also remember what you say. Graphics are not generation defining, but are gorgeous and allied with the setting, provides breathtaking landscapes and    Bethesda at its best!

    Game takes a while to get its footing, but it’s definitely worth it.
    Have more than 200 hours in it and it’s worth every second.
    This game will definitely be played for years to come and will be remembered for a lot others more.
    Game of the year contender and one of the best of the generation!
    Thank you Xbox and Bethesda for the experience!

    A very overly complicated walking simulator. Seriously everything seems to be poorly developed and rough. Carrying too much will kill you, but the inventory is a nightmare, tried modding the game just to make the systems work and it it still was so complicated that after two days I couldn't manage to do the thing I wanted to.

Carrying too much will kill you, but the inventory is a nightmare, tried modding the game just to make the systems work and it it still was so complicated that after two days I couldn't manage to do the thing I wanted to. You don't build characters so much as have pointless skills that you will be forcing yourself through just so you can have a conversation with someone, or attempt to play the game a certain way. Whole buildings in the game are completely recycled on other planets too, to the point where I was able to shoot people without even seeing them because I knew they would be there. Also the story feels bare bones, the characters you play with are mostly lifeless, possibly written by an AI? If you want to play a walking simulator because you have too much money there's Death Stranding. If you want to play space exploration there's No Man's Sky. This game is way too expensive for what it is, and is sadly lesser than the games (from this very developer) before it. Sometime it looks pretty though.... Sometimes.… Expand

    Another Bethesda game that's going to take me years to finish, so much content and so much I want to do. I really like the Improved combat from previous games like Fallout 4, it has a good feel to it. Love the beautiful 80's space age aesthetic, reminded me of artwork and architecture design from old issues of Popular Science and Omni.

    The game seems to be overambitious and in the end just fell flat. It's mediocre compared to "what could have been" that they promised. I'm at around mid game and don't know if I want to push more time into it.

    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.
