Recent weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement with Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 being released. Fans of the franchise were expecting the title to challenge the renowned Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the title of game of the year. Baldur's Gate 3 has certainly made a splash in the gaming community, with only one single review giving it less than 8/10.
Starfield, however, has only received 70 reviews on Xbox, and only a dozen or so on PlayStation 5, since the console only released recently. Some may attribute this to Bethesda's refusal to send review copies to sites they felt would mark the game lower. Now that the game is out for everyone and available on Game Pass, anyone can try it out.
One reader has given their opinion on the game: they found it to be incredibly boring and lacking any surprises. It's clear that Bethesda was leaning heavily into the nostalgia of Skyrim, with the combat being the only real difference between the two games. The graphics may have been improved, but the dialogue and AI remain the same.
The reader found the lack of a map to be incredibly confusing, and the missions themselves repetitive and uninteresting. Despite trying out the side quests, they were all just variants of ‘go to this planet and kill everyone you meet’. The reader was so unimpressed that they gave up more in surprise than in disgust.
Ultimately, the reader felt that the game was deeply flawed and, in their opinion, deeply boring. They feel that no one should be pretending that this isn't the case, and that if you like the game then that is completely fine. However, if a game can't grab a player's interest within 10 hours then it isn't a good game.
It's always important to take reviews with a grain of salt, and everyone will have a different opinion on the game. However, this review is worth considering when deciding if Starfield is the game for you.
