Starfield Reviews
Players that don’t like typical Bethesda RPG tropes like the combat, the skill system, the exploration, or the questing will likely not enjoy Starfield because it’s definitely more of the same. However, if you enjoy Bethesda RPGs and have been itching for them to finally do a sci-fi game, Starfield is quite a fantastic ride.
Ultimately, Starfield is a very enjoyable game that takes the overall formula that Bethesda established in games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 and expands upon it. It is familiar in the ways that feel comfortable, but the game feels like an exciting new experience. It's unfair to compare it to games like No Man's Sky given the vast difference in scope, but at the same time, I wish that the ways the ships are handled didn't feel so compartmentalized with the reliance upon menu-driven fast-travel. Starfield really tries to be many things all at once, and although there are varying levels of success to that end, the game is a downright joy to play.
Starfield shines through some glaring issues that definitely dampen the experience but don't ruin it altogether. With plenty to see and do, sheer immersion will be enough to carry you through to the end of Bethesda's latest offering.
Simply put, Starfield is Bethesda's greatest-ever RPG. The living, breathing universe they have created is one of the most impressive in the gaming space and the sound effects and musical score push the immersion to near perfection. If only I could stop speaking to the back of NPC's heads.
Starfield is not a perfect game, but Bethesda once again has created a world that delivers the joy of exploration at its best. Starfield is full of mysteries that can be explored for a very long time and its approach to new game plus expands this joy even more. Well written characters and storylines are there to be found and for all the previous Bethesda fans that have enjoyed playing the likes of Fallout or Skyrim, Starfield is the new game that they can live in for the for the foreseeable future.

With a passable story and a lot of empty planets, Starfield is unlikely to be included in the lists of Bethesda's best games. There are enough great things about it: many quests outside of the main story are excellent, the cities are lively and beautiful, and the gameplay, for which many people love the games of this company, has retained its qualities. But I expected something more, something that would take Bethesda to new heights.

Starfield is quite the epic ride! This game immerses you in an enthralling odyssey filled with unexpected twists, always keeping you on your toes as you chase down new missions. Nevertheless, the experience is marred by technical and performance issues, the presence of procedurally generated planets, and the reliance on fast travel, all of which tend to dilute the overall sense of exploration.

Starfield is a huge game that raises some of the standards of Bethesda's previous games and leaves others obsolete. The companion characters, combat and gunplay, side quests, art design, physics and sound of the game are very impressive. Unfortunately, this argument does not apply to the main quests, exploration, and space battles, as well as the depth of the game's RPG system. So while Starfield falls short of Bethesda's ultimate gaming artistry, it offers a very entertaining experience.

With all its small failures, today, we suddenly return to February 3, 1994 and that school hall, full of children, who saw Franklin Chang-Díaz, become the first Costa Rican and Latin American astronaut to reach outer space; while we put on the helmet, we turn on our gravitational engine and we see 'Starfield' being a true dream come true of that entire generation that grew up admiring astronauts as true modern heroes, who sailed the skies and carried with them, our childhood dreams, of being able to one day reach the stars too.

Even though the first quarter of the main story is boring, loading screens pop-up every time you blink and some gameplay mechanisms are lacking, Starfield is still one of the best RPGs we've seen in years and definitely one of the best when it comes to science fiction. Does it live up to the massive hype behind it? Probably not. Will we be playing and talking about it for years to come? Definitely yes!

Starfield is Bethesda's best RPG to date, an enormous space odyssey that serves up some incredibly evocative and engaging exploration, satisfying combat, and a narrative that had us hooked right to the end. Yes there are issues here with the usual jank, and some very messy and fiddly menus and interactions, but all of these problems feel minor when compared to everything this game gets right. In a year that's been packed full of absolutely essential games, Starfield manages to sit right up top with some of the best of them. After all the hype and bluster, this is just a very, very good RPG and a game we'll be playing and replaying for a long time to come.
Starfield is a grand interstellar adventure with exciting pockets of exploration, detailed cities, interesting side quests, memorable characters, competent action, and fun ship building. Despite minor issues, it gracefully blends Bethesda's trademark gameplay with the wonders of space.
Do you buy consoles for such games? Starfield is the first, full-fledged and at the same time next-gen exclusive debuting exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and personal computers. Bethesda did not disappoint by inviting players on a journey to the stars.

It is difficult to find faults with Starfield and those that we mentioned the truth is that they do not tarnish the final result. Starfield is one of the best games of the year (which is no small thing in this fantastic 2023) and one of the best games in Xbox history. Bethesda has created a game that will mark an era and that will serve as an example for other studios that are encouraged to undertake their own journey in space.

Starfield is a massive game with countless mechanics and features that reach for the stars.
This game became my Skyrim. Even though I've finished the game and seen a lot of things, there are still a lot of quests I want to do, a lot of planets I want to explore, a lot of people I want to meet. If you like science fiction, I'm almost sure you'll agree with me.

Starfield can be described as a mixed-bag experience that combines great features from excellent side mission designs with amazingly world-building potential and an engaging story with suspense elements to offer. On the other hand, exploration in the game is unfortunately weak in many aspects; This is due to the large reliance on procedural generation of environments. Also, the role-playing elements do not have a strong presence or impact.

After conquering wastelands and fantasy worlds, Behesda begins to conquer the universe. Starfield offers their biggest RPG yet with a very good mix of story, action and exporation. The Creation Engine still shows beautiful scenery, but also its limits in map size.
