    I have been playing Starfield on Xbox Series X for about 20 hours, and I am impressed by the scope and ambition of Bethesda’s new sci-fi RPG. Starfield is a game that lets you create your own character and explore a vast galaxy full of planets, factions, quests, and secrets. You can join Constellation, a group of space explorers seeking ancient artifacts, or forge your own path among the various colonies, pirates, corporations, and aliens. You can customize your ship, recruit crew members, craft weapons and gear, and engage in combat both on land and in space. The game looks stunning on Xbox Series X, with crisp graphics, smooth performance, and fast loading times. The planets are diverse and detailed, from the dusty Wild West of Akila to the neon-lit cyberpunk of Neon. The sound design is also immersive, with a dynamic soundtrack that changes depending on the situation and the environment. The voice acting is well-done, with some familiar faces like Jennifer Hale and Troy Baker lending their talents. Starfield is not without its flaws, however. The game still suffers from some bugs and glitches, such as clipping issues, floating objects, and occasional crashes. The user interface is clean but sometimes clunky, especially when managing your inventory or navigating the map. The combat is fun but not very deep or challenging, and the enemy AI is not very smart or varied. The story is intriguing but not very original or surprising, and some of the quests are repetitive or boring. Overall, Starfield is a game that will appeal to fans of Bethesda’s open-world RPGs, as well as anyone who loves sci-fi and space exploration. It offers a lot of freedom and content to keep you busy for hours, and it has a lot of potential for future updates and expansions. It may not be a revolutionary game that pushes the genre forward, but it is a solid game that delivers on its promise of being Skyrim in space. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new adventure in the stars.

    It’s a great game! If you’re into space exploration, base building, combat, freedom, and a few plot twists, you’ll love it. It has its bugs of course, and there’s means for improvement, but Bethesda is continuously working and updating the game. But for what the game is, it’s worth it. The game is massive and you have complete freedom to do anything and go where you please. Don’t let people complaining about bugs prevent you from checking it out yourself. Not only is it a new game, it’s a new universe for Bethesda. So it will come with bugs and updates. I’ve always loved Bethesda games (not so much fallout 76) and in my opinion, they did an amazing job. Definitely worth at least checking out.

    While absolutely plagued with the same issues that Bethesda titles are known for and any massive game is. This game is a blast. So easy to wander away from the main story (i think i am on the third main story mission with 60 hours played) and do just about anything else. Spend all of your time exploring planets, or building ships, or punching everyone in the face. The graphics are incredible but the physics of the game are out of this world :)

    This game was good. I easily logged in over 200 hours and never beat it , because there is so much to do on this game. I always try to beat it faster and faster and it is impossible. Just do what you want in the game. It's pretty fun and definitely more enjoyable than most games. Appreciated the time.

    Ive really been enjoying this game. Its not Skyrim in space. Its fairly different than most Bethesda games as far as exploration. But if you just follow the ride and take your time, talk to everyone, its a fantastic game that is very rewarding. The systems are very deep.

    As openworld as they come. Once you acquire your ship the universe is your oyster. Gun play is surprisingly good for a Bethesda game.

    Bethesda has come out with a great game. The facial animations can be a bit wonky but overall, you’ll lose hours and hours in this world.

    For someone that doesnt play every open world game i have loved every second of starfield. Does take a minute to learn everything the game has to offer but once you do it is non-stop fun. I have 20 hours of gameplay and am still entertained completely. Best game released in a long time as an xbox exclusive. You will not be disappointed in the game.

    Starfield is a fantastic game that allows you to write your own story among the stars. Ive loved getting to design starships, explore new planets, and decide if I want to be a pirate or hero. Really fun game, would highly recommend

    Game play and story starts a bit slow. The more you play and explore the better it gets. Some things you wish they change. Like ship building or upgradeing. I would have louve to interchange parts from anothership on to my new built or design

    Space Fallout! There's a decent story here, but building and pirating are lit! Random enemy yeets are hilarious. There are some scary fights in dark places too!
