It’s a perfect port.
I’ve played hours of multiplayer and I’m yet to run into any technical issues.
It very much feels like age of empires 2 to me, with improvements made. Which is exactly what I wanted.
Amazing game.
Great world and fun combat. The skill tree is built well, you learn exciting abilities on top of all the cool abilities you start with. The plot is amazing. It’s a solid sequel.
A really fun game in an exciting universe.
The introduction is a classic, having a dragon appear during your execution. I was pulled into the universe and it’s civil war.
The magic and combat may feel outdated now. But i find it incredibly fun to explore, fight, loot and quest my way around the world. The factions are all fun. The cities are all themed in cool ways.
I would recommend not finishing the main quest straight away, but to play side quests and explore the world so that you really know the world first. The civil war storyline is great, but you will change the fate of cities through it. So I would recommend travelling these cities first and enjoying the world.
I’ve been a fan of Bethesda games since Morrowind (2002), I love Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Starfield has a boring introduction. You are a miner and walk around for 15 minutes, there’s no tension, no cinematic entrance and no pull to the universe. You do pass out because of a mysterious technology, but I was so bored with walking around it didn’t shock me. Because of this I laughed when Barrett just gives you a ship, after knowing you for 30 seconds. The ship is unfortunately a glorified tent simulation. You can’t fly planet to planet, but you need to go into quite a few menus to fast travel. You can’t even take off into space, that is also a fast travel screen. From all this, I feel like half the game is just loading screens and fast travel. The combat is a regression from Fallout 4, it appears the gun combat is purposely held back so that your skill tree makes it fun. But I’m not giving a dozen hours just to play a gun fight to an acceptable level. I can’t recommend this game, the gun play is boring, the introduction is atrociously boring, the universe never grabs my attention. I can’t get into a game that is just loading screens. Bethesda have followed up with a mediocre game. It shouldn’t have been surprising seeing that they released Redfall this year too. I’ll give it 3 stars because I never ran into any bugs in 3 hours of playing, the graphics are good (facial animations are outdated), and there is quite a lot of work done with the cities and factions. However the procedural generation and fast travel means that I never felt like the universe was joined, unlike the other Bethesda games.
