i like it game :)

For $70 you can buy Baldur's Gate 3 and two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's. Or you can buy 4 and a half copies of Hollow Knight. Or you can buy 14% of a PS5. All are probably a better use for your money than buying Starfield.

I got some ~100 hours of enjoyment out of Starfield. I'd say about 10 hours of it was main story. And the last 30-40 hours were mostly spent trying to figure out what there is left to do in the game, desperately trying to prove to myself that I hadn't run out of content so fast.

There's plenty of content in Starfield, but you have to scrounge for it through the hundreds of copy-and-paste planets, pre-built locations that all look the same (literally every cave has the same layout), BORING NPCs, and annoying choices. I really really *really* wanted to like this game, I've been hyped for it for years, but it was just such a let-down. As others have said, as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ controls and full of bugs

Pretty fun, short and simple game, definitely worth the $5. Reminds me of the flash game era but with more polished graphics and a surprisingly fire soundtrack. The gameplay is slow to start but quickly ramps up and it's super satisfying and fun to go around destroying the town.

I'd estimate I'm about 25% - 40% through the main story right now. Very disappointed with what this turned out to be. It's unpolished, unfinished, buggy, and poorly optimized. Give it a year before buying it, hopefully they've fixed it by then. I'll update my review if it gets better.

I can't count how many nights I've realized it's 4 AM and I've been playing RimWorld for like 8 hours straight. It's ruined my life and I love it.

A fun little game that should be played in one sitting. Very atmospheric, very pleasant to play. Controls are minimal but smooth and feel good.

Probably the most realistic FPS I've ever played, plus a wide variety of operators, realistic graphics, and constant updates. 10/10.
