STARFIELD - Premium Edition

As a preface, I have put over 100 hours in to this game. I wanted to like it, but instead it put me to sleep over a dozen times. -The story is dull, and the live action cut scenes just exist to allow you to practice your headshots. The quests are extremely repetitive and there are few, if any, consequences for your actions with each of the factions. Choices are more or less pointless, and the people you can't kill could populate a city. -Game resources/art/gameplay for the most part seem to be pirated from other Bethesda games. There are only a few planetary location layouts which are cut and pasted planet to planet, a couple caves, a couple pirate bases, a few settlements, some useless planetary "feature"... on repeat. So much for exploration. -Space only exists to have spaceship battles, all of which are determined purely by how much upgrading you have done to your ship. If you think you can explore space from your ship, just try flying to the nearest planet... -There are 1000 mostly empty, mostly lifeless planets, where each landing site generates its own map, which have to be explored on foot, where toxic fumes and cold weather magically penetrate your space suit and damage you... seriously, you are in a space suit which protects you from the cold emptiness of space, why should you care about cold rain or that you walked through a cloud of methane? Also, apparently since humanity figured out space travel, we forgot how to build and use planetary vehicles, so expect to have to walk about 5 minutes from site to site. -And finally, the cutscenes... use the menu system to bypass the cutscenes or you will spend 10 minutes each time you want to travel between planets staring at cutscenes and loading screens. If there was a minigame on the cutscenes/loading screens, you would forget which one was the game that you were there to play. At this point, the only reason I don't ask for my money back is that I hope the modding community will be able to make something interesting out of this. Fingers crossed folks.

Dull, bland, buggy, empty, and garbage.

At least it satisfied my curiosity. Soulless, empty, and boring. Stick to the classics, new Bethesda games have been going downhill lately, and with this entry, I can predict the quality of the next Scrolls game.

Unfortunately it was never going to live up to the hype. It's been slow to pull me in, the many, many loading screens do not help. It has it's moments, you can tell this was the guy that did Far Harbor vs some of the previous work, but you do need to dig for it, speaking of dig, explore, this game rewards you for looking everywhere. I'm hoping it'll grow on me, just wasn't the immediate hook I was wanting or expecting. On the brightside, minimal bugs, nothing game breaking.

Game is too big and to empty the exploration is boring.The space combat is meh.Badly optimized even on a rtx 4090.

It's not perfect, and it may have a long way to go. Between Bethesda and the community it's clear this is a foundation to build from. A great start to what has the potential to be a fantastic game.

Loved the game was able to get all achievements within 5 days of release (September 1st) :D

This Game is Great. I won't beat about the bush I'm just to old to do that now hahaha 😂 it's got everything that you need in a game about the Solar system, space or what's your preference etc you'll get a good enough. space ship and Job so you can go out and discover so much with time to enjoy it at your own pace weather its a speed run or nice and slow. Do other games and come back to it I love it and you can probably tell by my game review this is my first game I've ever played and paid for but I think I picked a good game to start with and love to start it up every day.
