Okay, so I have about 90 hours into Starfield. I'm on the 4th iteration of NG+, and I've completed ALL the achievements. What I've deduced is that: Starfield is NOT WORTH $70. If you can get this game on sale for $30 or less, it's worth it but overall this game just lacks content.


1. This game's atmosphere is amazing. When you're on a remote planet, flying through space, or in one of the bustling cities - you really feel immersed in the world. The game does a great way of conveying the magnitude of your situation with its score, its characters, and environment.

2. The characters are probably some of the best written characters to come out of a Bethesda game. Each member of Constellation is excellently portrayed through their dialogue and their interactions with the world and other characters. The evil characters really make you dislike them. You actually feel some sort of justice when they face repercussions. This is the hottest take I'll probably have, but Andreja is probably one of the best written Bethesda characters. Her entire character arc through journeying with her is amazing. Hell, even some of the random characters you pick up for your crew at various places through the settled systems are rather deep.

3. Oh my god, if you like guns and the variations - you'll love this. I dont know how many gun types there are, but with all the modifications you can do - you'll never be bored. I've made some silly guns with level 4 weapon engineering.

4. The revamped dialogue in this game really is a breath of fresh air for a Bethesda title. Your actions matter, what you say matters. On NG+ you get special dialogue options that either streamline processes or let you bypass painful persuasian checks.

5. Ship customization and outpost building are probably the largest time sinks in this game besides the main story. I spent about 6 hours just building an outpost and geting it all set and done. You can make some pretty cool looking and knarly ships.

6. The large, non-main quests are very well thoughtout and fun to play even on NG+ after you've done them before. The Ryujin quests never get old, nor does the fight between UCSys Def and the Crimson Fleet. I will say however, that the smaller quests are rather boring as they're generally just fetch quests.

7. The character customization is objectively the best of its kind from Bethesda. You can quite literally make your ideal charatcer, almost seemingly regardless of any limitations. I made Ryan Gosling lol.

Alright, time to move onto.....


1. Space combat is trash. Absolute trash. First you think its gonna be fun and inutitve and that you'll be able to get better ship parts as you go and keep up the pace with the enemies you have to fight. Hahaha no, you're gonna get ganked by 3 Crimson Fleet members the minute you decide to go into a moderate leveled area that the game will push you to because of the main quest. Even if you get the Mantis Ship which will let you basically ignore the Crimson Fleet, you'll still have to deal with random encounters that are just a pain to deal with.

2. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to give containers LIMITS in what they could hold. My outposts have dozens of storage containers for items simply because they decided it was a good idea to put limits on things. That just makes it annoying, not intuitive. Whoever made this decision needs to be fired from their job.

3. Why are there so many empty planets? I'm level 60 right now and the higher leveled solar systems are vapid wastes of space with nothing in them. Why are there no end game quests designed for NG+? The game doesn't scale with you (at least not very well) and you'll gank most things after you get the Starborn ship and armor.

4. Too many quests are "go to this planet, get this item". Fetch quests are supposed to be plentiful as they're the easiest to implement but theyre boring. At least make me try to collect from high level enemy bases or monsters, not just go directly to position X to pick something conveniently left on the ground.

5. There are too few "main hub" worlds. Akila City, New Atlantis, and Neon are the big three but why are there so many solar systems even in lower level that just have barely anything in it? This game is massive, and there should be at least a dozen of cities like this.

6. Why did Bethesda remove scrapping from the game? You can get so many different guns from enemies you kill that just sit there on the ground and despawn because theyre worthless to use, selling them isnt worth it, and you're not gonna use them. I get the resource generation methods they WANT us to use but I feel like I should be able to break down things at the research stations, or at least have a dedicated breakdown station.

7. Powers are meh. Theres some cool ones (like the one that calls a copy of you, the one that freezes enemies, or the supernova one) but ultimately theyre pointless in combat since you're not generally approaching enemies in CQC where most of these shine, and nothing is THAT MUCH of a bullet sponge outside of a few "bosses" that require stunning.

8. This game is just.... void of content. There's not a lot to do after you've beaten the game and move onto NG+ if you did end up doing everything in the first playthrough. There's too many planets with nothing on them, a lot of cool places with no story, and just a lot of unexplored potential. There should be content on the high level solar systems, but there isnt. Its just extremely barebones in that regard. There's no real reward for exploring those planets either.

Overall, Starfield is a solid 6.5/10. It's a fun game, but its not worth $70. If the game had just more content available in the game and didnt have so many empty planets, this game couldve been a 7.5 or an 8 outta 10 in my book. I'm gonna keep an eye out for the modding scene and the eventual DLC that will come out. Hopefully that will be good.

Also, let me kill Benjamin Bayu. He's a bellend that no one likes but I CANT KILL HIM, WHY!?
