9xCB8
Fouttaf Score
Dimension: 9
It is the most ambitious game we have ever played in terms of scope and what the game aimed to be in its early development stages.
The Flair: C
The game is generally pretty most of the time and the soundtrack is exquisite, but NPC models and their animations are poor to the point where it's hard not to laugh at them.
The Feel: B
Combat is really enjoyable and it's by far the best implemented part of the game. Besides combat, gameplay struggles through old rescued mechanics like stealth and conversations, which have been so poorly implemented that even a questline based on stealth is almost impossible to beat neatly.
The Fuel: 8
The most utterly disappointing aspect of this game is how it goes from an apparent universe of possibilities and interesting hidden content to a shallow collection of systems that are as fun to explore as watching paint dry. The plots are lightyears away in quality from those we had seen from Bethesda more than a decade ago and, as a whole, the game feels sterile and lifeless.
Solid
70
Classic Score
Conclusions
Starfield is a fun game more often than a boring one, but its poorly aged gameplay, shallow open world, and weak plotlines put it lightyears away from the great titles Bethesda delivered years ago. Even more so, it's in the long term where it fails to make players stick to the cockpit and keep exploring the systems due to prioritizing quantity over quality.
