    Amazing game, i cant stop playing. The structure of the planetary systems is perfect, you really feel that you are exploring places like Mars, Venus, etc.

    Jogo muito detalhado, história muito boa, pra cada coisa que vc quer fazer existe muito profundidade de gameplay, desde diálogo, e simplesmente sair atirando, há construir bases e naves, as secundárias são ótimas, melhores que a campanha principal.

    This game has its hooks in me. So excellent! My favorite aspect of the game is how the faction storylines are on par with the main quest; which is to say they’re great. Really impressive polish and even unexpected quality to random encounters stacking in interesting ways…

    I really enjoy this game but it has a lot of loading screens. Another point is you can't fly from space to the planet surface. I think these issues break ALL the game' s immersion.

    Starfield’s exploration is fantastic! I have played over 25 hours and feel like there is still so much more to see and do. Combat is fun and the AI is the best Bethesda AI to date. Truly a perfect game in my opinion.

    Nessa geração estamos vendo que nem tudo se resume a gráficos, Zelda e BG3 mostram isso, e em Starfild não é diferente, o jogo é o que a essência dos RPGs mais puros são.

O jogo não tem pressa para te fazer terminar, em uma indústria onde os jogos cada vez mais te pegam pela mão para mostrar como fazer tudo e depois saem correndo para acabar o game em 15 ou 20 horas, Starfild te dá mais de 80 horas para você desbravar o espaço, sem pressa para ser feliz, porém a felicidade vai estar te esperando com lindas paisagens, com planetas desertos de vidas porém com uma atmosfera envolvente nos fazendo se sentir como protagonistas de filmes espaciais de grande calibre como Interestelar ou uma odsseya nos espaço. Quem esta com receito por causa de comentários de gente que nem jogou ou até jogou porém não quer que nada mude na sua casinha de ideias com jogos singulares eu te dou uma dica de ouro:

    Jogue!!!

    Tenha sua experiência, explore, navegue e aprecie um dos jogos mais ousados e diferentes dos últimos tempos, um jogo que não se resume em gráficos realistas, nem em querer te dizer que você é burro te dando dicas a todo momento.

    Its a massive open world Rpg with so much to do that it can take months to complete it. So many different stories interconnected, the paths you choose the decisions you make molds it into a fine role playing game.

    Bethesda has created a mod for Fallout 4. And the concept itself stretches back to the time of Morrowind.
    You should not buy this game at least because you do not want to support such a hack.

    The only things I can fault at the moment are the lack of vehicles on planets because it can take a very long time to explore and the space travel between planets and systems.

    Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys RPGs, especially some of Bethesda's previous titles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually created an account so i can leave a review.
    First: i've played the game for about an hour so i've not seen much but the things i have seen was enough for me.
    Graphics: Overall looks nice but the characters look dull. The coloring in this game is very boring.
    i have an rtx 3070 and my pc should be running games like these at least on high without performance issues. It doesn't. My highest FPS were 60 when i'm lucky. Also everything is grey or red. I don't think they put much thought in the visuals of the game. Synchronization: the voices and mouth animations look nice
    Story:
    Uninteresting story. I've lost interest in it almost immediately since it was just talking and talking about stuff i didn't understand. I somehow got a ship but i didn't understand the reasoning.
    Gameplay: Unintuitive. I had to look up most lf the stuff i wanted to do (talking mostly about ship movement and settings)
    Npc interaction:
    Doesn't matter as far as i've played. I selected every answer that could deny me the progress of the story but they didn't care and gave it anyway. Maybe it would make a difference later but i doubt it.
    Difficulty:
    Idk man. I played on normal and i could just walk up to the pirates and they still missed their shots. Felt like stormtroopers. Yes i needed to take a med pack but i wasn't in a rush to do so.
    Open world:
    In no way interesting. Go from A to B, kill a few dudes come back repeat. Quick travel is the most important function here and thus boring as hell.
    Ship movement:
    I've realized to late that the robot was giving a tutorial in what the energy does in each section and there was no way in letting him repeat that so... i just winged it. The destroyed ships had loot which i magically teleported to my inventory... no animation no leaving the ship or anything. Just go near and teleport it in your inventory. Seen better in star citicen. Bugs:
    It's sad to say but "luckily" i only had one. After the first pirate fight the robot which follows you on the ship was making constant irritating banging noises like he is constantly hit with anything. After i've entered the ship it was over.
    Sad to say but bethesda should stick to fantasy rpg (elder scrolls) or post apocalyptic rpg (fallout). Those games were fun.

    Very impressed by the launch state of the game and now doubt quality of life updates will be around the corner.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starfield is a Bethesda game through and through. That comes with all its ups yet sadly also all it downs. Subjectively, I am enjoying this game a lot. Objectively, it's not a perfect game by any means - but what does that even mean? Imo, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 are near perfect games, but I am not enjoying playing them. Starfield has a lot of room to improve, but I cannot stop playing it - I am at almost 80 hours now since last friday.

    Some real cons are the companion system. It's more than sad that Bethesda didn't only not improve the systems, but made them worse. Baldurs Gate 3 shows how great companions can be, Starfield does not. The graphics are also a weird case - sometimes the game looks absolutely stunning, sometimes completely garbage. The character models (faces, hair, skin etc.) are especially bad and make the game look outdated in comparison.

    The story is probably the best Bethesda has ever done - it's not spectacular, but it's also not as bad as for example Fallout 4 main campaign. How they implemented NG+ is interesting but also counterintuitive. If you care about the little stuff NG+ has to offer, it might make you rush through the game the first times and that can absolutely ruin it. And it also takes some feel of importance out of the characters and their stories sadly.

    The world spaces (or tiles) feel massive. I really hope that at some point we get land vehicles, because running around takes so long. And it won't be everyones taste that there is so much nothing - I also prefer compact, filled open worlds from older Bethesda titles. But the POIs are designed beautifully and packed with clutter and details, which makes the spaces much more believable than for example Fallout 4s rather scarce dungeons.

    Ship stuff could be extended but also is a lot deeper than the first couple of hours make you think. I love it. I am already spending way too much time building my ship, which is another reason why I won't start NG+ until there is a mod that lets me save my ship designs lmao.

    Overall, this is a great game. Sadly, it will again need a lot of modders work to make it an outstanding game, but the vanilla experience is already much improved from what Fallout 4 had to offer back in 2015.

    Best bethesda game i'v ever played and i loved all previous titles. If you love exploration and masses of well written quests and hunting beats on far away planets i would recommend highly. Dont trust the 0 scores. One user created over 600 accounts just to review bomb. Theyre pathetic. Ignore them. The game is tons of fun.

    Massive scope, so much to do. Very few bugs I've encountered, but it's easy to get distracted from quests for exploring and lacklustre space flight are the only reasons I didn't give it a 10.

This game is often incredibly enjoyable, with its engaging side quests, the sense of exploration, diverse scenarios, varied choices, and combat that even reminds me of Cyberpunk. It's a visually stunning game, although there are times when it feels like a title from 2015 and others when it feels more like 2023.

    However, the main issues I have with this game are the excessive loading screens, which disrupt the immersion and make it feel less organic. Additionally, the NPCs on different planets can look rather odd and devoid of emotions at times, which is disappointing. In my opinion, Starfield could greatly benefit from a patch to address these issues, along with an FPS boost. While 30 FPS is decent, for a game like this, especially on the powerful new consoles (I'm playing on Series S, by the way), a higher FPS would enhance the experience

    There is ONE HUGE problem. There are no 1000 planets. There are actually zero. Why? You land in a generated area. And if you walk to the invisible wall you have to take off and land again. When you land in an area which is as close as possible, this landscape will have no overlapping points with the first area. So the planets are just pictures. They are not there.

And if you walk to the invisible wall you have to take off and land again. When you land in an area which is as close as possible, this landscape will have no overlapping points with the first area. So the planets are just pictures. They are not there. If they were it would be a 9.0 to 9.5. But without i have to subtract 7 points. And another minus point for the inclusion of crazy modern political correctness ideology.

    So what is the "map" of starfield? Imagine grabbing a pack of sheets for your printer. Then going up the empire state building and throwing them down. Throwing them down and watching them fly around in the air. This is starfields "planets". A huge amount of procedurally generated sheets of landscape which have no connection to each other whatsoever and are absolutely independent.
    They are also not permanent. The points of interest are being created in your landing zone. But you can not have an endless amount of landing zones on a planet. So your landscape, the buildings and caves you visit just disappear and get deleted sooner or later, if you keep on adding landing zones. Nothing is forever. Things just disappear into nothingness. And the planets are not even there in the first place. All is a lie.

    There is also no real space you can travel in. There are only predefined spots in front of a planet. You can not fly around a planet. You just do your things in space with a picture of a fake planet in front of you which is not even there. No way to fly from the earth to the moon. Only fast travel with a loading screen. Movement in space is basically "fast travel- the game". Gets you right to the fun. There is no endless or very high amount of outposts you can build on 1000 real life sized promised planets. Only about 24 after you leveled up. If you want more previous ones will be deleted.

    There are extreme limitations to this game and the size that was promised by BGS is not there at all. The immersion of typical BGS games is gone, since there is no solid ground you can stand on. Little areas are being procedurally generated and vanish again. Nothing is really there. Everything is a temporary illusion which robs you of any motivation to play this game.

    To explore. Why would you explore, if what you explored gets deleted afterwards? Why would you "walk on" if you hit an invisible wall after 4km and must teleport into a different disconnected area somewhere, but not over there behind the invisible wall. You can walk on for a few km in one direction and that is it. So you can not experience the 1000 planets, since there are zero planets in this game. Basically the whole world is a lie. And you see and feel it all the time. Which makes this game basically worthless to me.

    The main story and side quests are nice and well enough designed and written. The combat is very fun. The weapons and modifications are great. The graphics are stunning. NPC design and looks are good. Persuasion system is great. Outpost building and ship building very nice and rather outstanding. Music is great. The cities are awesome in principle, but you get a lot of loading screens when moving from area to area. The 3d objects you can loot and look at and place somewhere are awesome. The ability to influence NPCs and talk to them is great. The freedom to shoot or kill them is great. The landscapes which are supposed to be on celestial bodies look awesome and are very diverse and of a high quality. The amount and the design of flora, fauna, monsters, animals and points of interest in an area "on a planet" is great and very fun.

    The game is full of great components. But they all are hardly worth anything, since the whole continuum, the world that you are in, is a lie. Since it is nowhere. Not on a planet. The planet is not there and you know it. Which is not good enough for this game, since it promised over 1000 real life sized planets. This was the main point for me to buy this game. And it turned out to not be real at all. I can not walk for 100 km in one direction, noticing the differences in flora and fauna and landscape as i wanted to. And this was the first thing i wanted to do in this game.

    Llevo jugando a juegos desde Spectrum. Empecé con Camelot Warrior, la Abadía del Crimen, y otros clásicos y he visto nacer, muchas sagas. Desde entonces no he parado de jugar. Cuando juegas tanto, empiezas a valorar qué es importante de un juego y que no. Starfield tiene lo más importante que debe tener un juego,... te entretiene. Empiezas a jugar, miras el reloj y has pasado 5 horasLlevo jugando a juegos desde Spectrum. Empecé con Camelot Warrior, la Abadía del Crimen, y otros clásicos y he visto nacer, muchas sagas. Desde entonces no he parado de jugar. Cuando juegas tanto, empiezas a valorar qué es importante de un juego y que no. Starfield tiene lo más importante que debe tener un juego,... te entretiene. Empiezas a jugar, miras el reloj y has pasado 5 horas jugando sin darte cuenta y te has divertido como cuando eras un niño. Has estado 5 horas sumergido en otro mundo como un buen libro o una buena película. TODO LO DEMÁS ES SECUNDARIO. Por eso , para mi, STARFIELD se esta convirtiendo en unos de mis juegos favoritos de todo mi vida, posiblemente en el TOP 5. Es de lo juegos más inmersivos, divertidos, y emocionantes que he jugado en mi vida, con una temática y profundidad que esperaba para un juego de este tipo.

    LO MEJOR:

    La inmersión es lo mas importante, la cantidad de historias secundarias, la capacidad de hacer lo que quieras, ir por donde quieras, ser quien quieres en el juego. La música y los ambientación, son brutalisimos, ... de pelos de punta. Cientos de horas para estar en un mundo diferente, divertido y emocionante

    Los gráficos son geniales en el 95% del juego. Texturas de gran calidad, con un trabajo de shading sobresaliente, Escenas muy detalladas, con un modelado meticuloso. Animaciones fluidas y realistas. Dinámicas supercurradas que te permiten interaccionar con muchos elementos del juego de forma realista. Es impresionante imaginar las horas que han echado haciendo este juego. Dialogos, doblajes, objetos, detalles de lore....,

    ¿Se nota que la calidad de algunas caras no es perfecta? Si, normal, hay cientos y cientos de NPCs como nunca había visto hasta ahora en un juego tan abierto como este. Pero además si que se nota que unas se ven superbien, y otras fallan, parece como si hubieran trabajado las más importantes y fuera algo que mejorarán poco a poco en el futuro. Como si no les hubiera dado tiempo a tener en fecha el 100% de los personajes, pero si que saben como hacerlo mejor en el futuro próximo. Pero lo dicho, es algo secundario que seguro van a mejorar pronto. De todas maneras los gráficos son secundarios para mi.. ¿O por ejemplo cuando pasas cientos de horas jugando a juegos como Pilars of Eternity lo haces por los gráficos?.
    Este juego además tiene un potencial enorme de expansión en el futuro

    LO PEOR: Algunos Bugs. No es importante por que no te sacan del juego. Algunas veces te hacen gracia y te hacen recordar que sigues en la Tierra jugando con tu consola.

    Mi nota seria un 9,5, pero como tengo que redondear, pongo un 10 redondeando hacia arriba. Por el potencial para corregir esos bugs de forma sencilla.

    Para terminar, una recomendación: Este tipo de juegos no es para parar ir con prisas. El objetivo no es pasárselo, es disfrutar la experiencia. NO es un juego de exploración. lo importante son los personajes y sus historias.

    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.
