Starfield is an epic work of science fiction wonder and is a true Bethesda RPG at its heart. The world is expansive, and the main story and all the side-quests are brilliantly crafted. The game looks amazing, has an incredible score, and will genuinely wow you with the galaxy's vastness you can explore. If you’ve ever looked to the stars and wondered ‘what if’… this is a game you must play. It isn’t just for Bethesda fans.

Starfield for me is very easily the game of the year, it would take something phenomenal to knock it off the top. Is it perfect? Not by any means, there are bugs and exploits to see but you have to go out of your way to do so, albeit to the detriment of your own experience. I think calling it Fallout in Space with Mass Effect tones and elements of No Man’s Sky is a cheap description. I think this is the massive space adventure we have needed and I am addicted to it and with so much content I feel very spoilt. It is so much fun and an RPG lovers fantasy to explore and I cannot recommend it enough.

A mature, thoughtful, immersive and massive space exploration game mixed with a standard Bethesda RPG with a twist - you actively hunt down NPCs and quests rather than chancing upon them, because space is big, really big. You thought it was a long way to the chemists? Well that's peanuts compared to space. The game has a wealth of gameplay loops for any mood you might be in, a beautifully done hard sci fi aesthetic, touches on high concepts in (occasionally) interesting ways despite the usual frivolous/mad/illogical Bethesda writing, and somehow offsets a setting full of humanity's sadness and despair out in the void, bereft of mother Earth... with a strangely comforting vibe. For people who REALLY dig the choose-your-own-adventure and immersive role play of Bethesda games, and are perhaps a bit tired of Fallout, this is fun.

I love starfield. I love the freedom it gives me which is why Bethesda games are my favorite games ever made. I love being able to go to random planets and wonder around. The atmosphere is so good. I love that it is not linear and lets me, the player decide where i go and what I do. That is what video games are about for me and Starfield does that and more. My spaceship is like my apartment that I can take with me anywhere. I like companions but most the time I go alone because I like the isolation and feeling that I have to be aware of my surroundings and fend for myself. I don't even play the main story past the lodge and have almost 1000 hours already and I don't see me doing the main story anytime soon. Amazing game!

Achievement-wise, this game is clearly going to take some time, and that can only be a good thing considering that Starfield seems to have delivered what it promised: an almost endless adventure we’ll still be discovering new details about years down the line.

There are simply few games that offer this huge quantity of content, but also back it up with quality. Timeless classics like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4 feel downright limited by comparison, yet share that wonderful sense of adventure waiting around every corner. Trust me when I say you don't want to miss this.

In Starfield, this blend and culmination of ideas sometimes pays off in wonderful ways — but sometimes it falls short, because pushing too far in one direction would mean committing to an idea. Consequences.

It's the static and mechanical elements of Starfield that shine the brightest – the art, the environments, the combat systems. They make up the strong foundations of a playset with a very intriguing scenario. But you need to mentally meet Starfield partway to complete its vision of a vast, living universe. You need to stretch out the expanse and envision the journey. You need to look past the menus and form the fantasy. You need to help breathe life into its paper dolls. You need to add your own dash of wonder, and imagine your own unknowns. Truly, Starfield is a role-playing game, through and through.

If you’re the kind of person who thinks videogames peaked with Fallout 3's launch version and they’ve required neither evolution nor improvement since, this game is absolutely for you. If you believe Bethesda doesn’t need to exhibit growth as an artistic outlet and hasn’t had to change a thing about the way it’s made games since 2008, I can safely say you’ll adore Starfield because it’s all that a Bethesda game has always been... and literally nothing more...Starfield is a shallow ocean, hiding its lack of creative ambition behind the physical size of a universe that’s minuscule where it counts...In short, it's everything a fan of these games could love.

Incrível Rpg de ação! deve receber muito mais relevância e conteúdos com o passar do tempo, ótima nova ip da bethesda, lembrando que não é um jogo de exploração espacial e sim um rpg no espaço assim como outros grandes jogos do estúdio.

This game is the definition of quantity over quality. It somehow has less to do than Oblivion that came out almost 20 years prior.

It's a pretty ok RPG. The story was okay, but not the best. I think the gun play is pretty lame, and also there were some bugs in the game, which didn't let me continue a side quest

Starfield is, unfortunately, a very mediocre game.After spending around 60 hours with it, I completely lost interest and dropped it. That said, it's still a pretty interesting game to **** the positive side, the faction quests are, as usual for Bethesda games, quite well done. The moral choices are nice and not always black and white, and the game genuinely lets you behave like a complete scumbag, which is honestly pretty fun. As for the gameplay, while it lacks impact, it's still enjoyable enough. On PS5, the DualSense adaptive triggers add a nice feeling to the gunfights, and the spaceship battles can be fun too, even if they're often frustratingly difficult. Unfortunately, that's where the praise ends.Starfield falls short in almost every aspect, especially when compared to a game like Cyberpunk 2077. First, let's talk about the technical side. The game is full of bugs, everywhere, all the time. It's a pain to play. I experienced numerous crashes, which had a huge impact on my motivation to keep going. Beyond that, the game has virtually no cinematic direction whatsoever. It's very hard to get attached to the dialogue or the characters because there's almost no effort put into presentation, aside from maybe one or two moments in the main quest that briefly stand out. And honestly, the game is ugly. It genuinely looks like a last-generation **** for the main story, it's nothing special. You're basically collecting artifacts here and there without really knowing why, which makes the whole thing pretty unengaging. In the end, the faction quests remain, as usual, the most interesting storylines. The game's biggest weakness is its game design and gameplay loop, which are absolutely tedious. Space exploration is simply bad and completely uninteresting. There's nothing to discover, no secrets to uncover, nothing. The planets are desperately empty and boring to explore. The creature variety is extremely limited, making most combat encounters feel pointless, and the dungeons are a nightmare because almost everything looks the same. Quest progression often feels more like an Excel spreadsheet simulator than an RPG. Mr. X asks you to see Mr. Y, so you fast travel to another planet. Mr. Y then sends you to another planet or space station to retrieve an item or talk to Mr. Z. You fast travel again, and by this point you've spent 15 minutes doing nothing except opening your map and spamming buttons to skip terrible dialogue. Once you arrive, you usually have the option to resolve the situation peacefully, which is painfully boring, so you choose violence just to get a tiny dose of fun except your companion suddenly thinks you're an **** for doing so. Then you go back to Mr. X, collect your reward, and do it all over again.There are a few enjoyable exploration sequences, like the first Crimson Fleet mission or the opening quest of the first DLC, but aside from those rare moments, the game is phenomenally boring. In short, don't play Starfield. You're wasting your **** play Cyberpunk 2077 instead if you want incredible presentation, exciting gameplay, and memorable quests and characters.

Oyun motoru eskidi. Uzayda geçen Fallout 4 gibi gelmeye başladığı an bıraktım. Galiba Bethesda oyunlarını sık aralıklarla oynamanın dezavantajı bu oyuna ısınamamak.
