I am now a day deep into Bethesda's new sci-fi game, Starfield, and I must say I'm enjoying it a lot. It has its faults, of course, but I'm willing to forgive them. I must admit, no one makes games like Bethesda does. You can't deny the scope, scale, and quality of the games they make.
Take Fallout 3 for example. Even with its technical issues, it's still considered to be a great game. As for Starfield, the plot is quite similar to Mass Effect. You find an alien artifact, get a vision, and then embark on a quest across space.
The world in Starfield is also quite unique. It's like a diorama; it looks real from a certain angle but when you take a closer look, you can easily spot all the cracks. I had to do a mission in a stealthy manner, but when I failed, I just ran to the exit without hurting anyone. Surprisingly, when I turned in the quest, they still docked my pay for supposedly killing people. It just goes to show that the game's logic sometimes makes little sense.
Still, that doesn't stop me from having fun. If you want to be a bounty hunter, you can do that. If you want to be a space pirate, you can do that too. In the 26 hours I've been playing, I've done two main quest missions, taken part in corporate espionage, double-crossed people, and hacked my way into computers.
But it's the side stories that really make Starfield come alive. From finding the Space Batcave to a sentient AI, the possibilities are endless. With every Bethesda game, you have to play it on its terms, and I don't think many other game companies can do that.
So if you're on the fence about Starfield, I recommend giving it a shot. Despite its faults, I'm confident that you won't be disappointed.
