This game doesn't just fill a gap, it becomes a key piece in the Xbox ecosystem portfolio.
Bethesda worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was delivered with excellence, offering players the feeling of taking part in something truly special, the result of tireless dedication.
Expectations and the Legacy of Bugs
Starfield's story unfolds, however, revealing itself to be lacking in depth and often devoid of effective cinematic presentation.
But, although it has a well-developed plot, the execution leaves something to be desired, creating a feeling of anti-climax in important passages.
The lack of an epic presentation at crucial moments leaves the narrative less engaging than it could be.
Dialogue also has notable flaws, with phrases occasionally out of context and characters appearing strangely during conversations.
Peculiar situations sometimes compromise the dialogue experience, breaking the player's immersion.
Space Exploration: A Universe of Ups and Downs
Although Starfield promises vast space exploration, the ship's freedom of movement is limited in practice.
Most ship-related actions are automated, including takeoffs, landings and movements between galaxies, which reduces the feeling of control and exploration.
The lack of need to physically travel to the ship, with instant travel across the map, can also be disappointing for those looking for a more immersive experience.
But this approach reduces the connection to the ship and undermines the feeling of exploration.
Space exploration in Starfield is rich in possibilities, with creating outposts, building structures, hiring collaborators and varied missions, keeping players busy after completing the main narrative.
However, the experience is marred by significant bugs and technical issues.
Gameplay and Customization: Merits and Achievements
Starfield stands out in terms of character customization, giving the player complete freedom.
The available options are significant, allowing players to create unique characters adapted to their play style.
Combat is fluid and effective, providing a rewarding experience with a vast arsenal of customizable weapons.
Exploring the planets offers a wide area to explore, albeit with some understandable limitations to avoid repetition.
Visual and Performance Challenges
Starfield's visual presentation varies, with stunning and detailed locations, but also includes less elaborate elements that raise doubts about the status of a current-gen title.
Performance, especially on PCs, requires high-end hardware with detailed settings to achieve a smooth experience.
Conclusion: Promises Partially Fulfilled
In conclusion, Starfield does not fully achieve all of its promises.
Although it has its merits and notable moments, the experience leaves something to be desired in several aspects.
The promised journey becomes just a sample of the potential that could have been achieved.
While Starfield shines in some areas, significant bugs and technical challenges also overshadow it.
It is hoped that Bethesda will commit to resolving these issues to provide a more stable and rewarding experience for players.
The wait may have been long, but the search for dazzling stars continues.
