Starfield Reviews
Starfield both hits and misses the mark. Starfield has both improvements and steps backward from the previous games, and whether you consider it to be better or worse than Fallout is dependent on what you prized from those games. If you're looking for more Fallout 4 with bigger and more detailed environments and quests, then Starfield is pretty much everything you could hope for and more. If you're looking for No Man's Skyrim, however, it's disappointing. Almost everything on the ground feels good, while the space travel and exploration feels lackluster. If you're looking for a Bethesda-style, open-world RPG, Starfield scratches that itch, and Bethesda fans will lose countless hours in scouring every nook and cranny.
Since its announcement it has proved to be one of the most anticipated games of the year. It certainly did not disappoint, even with its flaws, which make it almost unique in the genre. Once again Bethesda creates a cult game that, looking at the other games released in 2023, can easily be a candidate for GOTY.

The game is very much what you make it, and choosing what you want to do, what systems you want to interact with or completely ignore makes for a really rewarding and diverse experience that most people are going to love.
Starfield is a space action RPG, the new universe in more than 25 years that Bethesda has created. With an intriguing story and a universe full of planets and possibilities, you will not get bored with everything you can do in this new installment.

Starfield aims high and delivers an expansive galaxy ripe for exploration, but it stumbles in its execution.
In essence, if you're a fan of space adventures, compelling narratives, and in-depth exploration, Starfield is likely to provide you with all of that. However, it's advisable to approach the game with a degree of patience because, at least in my experience, especially as you reach the conclusion, it tends to provoke mixed reactions.
At is core, Starfield isn't anything we haven't seen before. However, it delivers on immersing us into a vast universe that contains galaxies of possibilities.
The much awaited Bethesda RPG is not without flaws, but the positive aspects outweighs them. If we are willing to overlook some shortcomings and ready to get involved in the story, characters, and environments, Starfield can be a memorable game.

Much like a red giant, Starfield is an absolutely massive experience that burns just a bit cooler than one would expect.
Individually, enough of its elements are enjoyable enough to engage with. The combat, particularly its shooting, feels pretty good. But so much of the rest of Starfield feels cobbled together so inelegantly that it can’t help but to get in way of the experience.
Starfield can best be described as Skyrim in space and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In fact, it even feels familiar and can draw new players into a new world. Starfield is immense and you just don't know where to start. The minimal to no explanation really makes it feel like a big adventure for you. You make strategic choices throughout the game, such as providing your ship with power, which skills you want to teach your character to which mission you want to do first. Starfield is overwhelming and perhaps a bit too much for some.

Starfield shines in its approach to space exploration and immersive graphics, but stumbles in areas such as combat and certain RPG mechanics. The main story can feel uninspired at times, detracting a bit from the experience. Even with its flaws, it offers a satisfying space adventure that will appeal to those who yearn to discover vast cosmoses and immerse themselves in intriguing narratives.

Starfield is a love letter to all Bethesda enthusiasts. There is so much content, it's easy to look past its smaller faults.

Starfield is truly impressive, and when it allows you to breathe and live out your fate in the stars, it’s a consistently compelling journey. However, the main story and the central mystery act as a black hole, threatening, but never quite succeeding to drag it down into complete oblivion.
Starfield emerges as a familiar addition to Bethesda's repertoire, offering an expansive but ultimately safe journey through the cosmos. While the game does attempt to delve into profound themes and presents an open-ended narrative structure, it still adheres to Bethesda's tried-and-true formula, failing to break new ground in the action-RPG genre.
Starfield isn’t as groundbreaking as one would expect it to be, but the developers held true in delivering the game fans have come to expect from Bethesda Game Studios, and in that regard, they succeeded, as this game has the potential to be relevant to players years after it was released, similar to what The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim is to this day.
Starfield is definitely Bethesda's most ambitious project. This can be seen in the huge amount of world building, the commitment to storytelling and the attention to detail that in recent years has only been seen in the most famous open world RPGs. This great ambition, however, has allowed Starfield to carry with it the usual problems that have been guiltily found in Bethesda productions for too many years.

Starfield, Bethesda's new RPG is already among us, with a proposal that, although it falls back on old vices, also stands out for its virtues, which reach their highest point. But also a video game that is frustrating, not because it is bad, but because it is evident that it has the potential to be much better.

Starfield is an immense RPG, which gives the player the opportunity to be whoever they want and explore a vast universe, adapting the gameplay to their style, exploring only the mechanics they like most. It's certainly not perfect, but its flaws matter less and less as the player becomes absorbed by the immense amount of activities and content at their disposal. Starfield is an experience that shouldn't be played, but lived, and has enough content to entertain the player for years as their space life simulator.

I've got mixed feelings towards Starfield. Even though I found the game entertaining throughout my playthrough, it's so far from being a memorable experience. The combat is decent enough, the plot is mostly forgettable and the characters are just... bland. It doesn't help that you spent a good chunk of your time fast traveling around.
