Description

Starfield for PC is an action role-playing game from the makers of the ridiculously successful Skyrim and Fallout 4, and it can be played from either first- or third- person perspectives. According to the game developers, they are hoping that this is the start of a huge franchise, similar to the two series mentioned above. As this is the first new game in 25 years (since the above games first came out), expectations and hopes are sky high.



About the Game


The game is set 300 years in the future, when regular space exploration is not only happening, but it has also become very normalised. You are a member of Constellation, which is an organisation of space explorers – the last organisation of space explorers, in fact. Don’t waste time wondering what happened to all the other explorers and why they’re reduced to one group, get on with the game!

Constellation ships have a vibe in which steam punk meets NASA perfectly. The developers have termed it ‘NASA-punk’ and it teams sleek futuristic perfection with nuts and bolts basics that looks inviting and homey without losing confidence that the ships will actually fly and keep you alive while you get where you are going!



And where are you going? Just about anywhere you like. The game is essentially an open world in space in which you can just get in your ship and off you go. Exploration is not limited to space and the planets, you can pick up and examine a lot of things, such as books, boxes, and there are tons of exciting buttons to press to see what happens!

Your astronaut character is fully customisable (and there are a surprising number of changes that you can make to a space suit, you will be happy to learn) and you also get your own little assistant in the form of robot, Vasquez (Vasco for short). You can tweak your stats, your backstory and everything about your physical appearance, until you have the perfect character in which to game away.

The game is packed with thoughtful plotting and nuanced shades of morality, in which life lessons are so subtly delivered you barely notice them, even as you reap the consequences of your actions, good or bad!



The Nitty Gritty


The game features a procedurally generated world to keep the game size down, and it is the first games which uses game studio Bethesda’s revamped Creation Engine, called Creation Engine 2. In this first serious outing for the platform, it is so well done that your mouth will water, for example, just looking at that delicious looking cheddar cheese and salami sandwich (with red pickled onions, lettuce and Dijon mustard, in case you want to try it out).

Weapons are solid and satisfying in the hand, (with an homage to the Master Chief if you know where to look) and the space ship boasts various gauges and systems to keep tabs on for the good of your health and the ship’s. These include oxygen and carbon dioxide monitors, your individual mission suggestions, and even the shopping list – you don’t want to run out of soothing Tranquillitea now, do you? (That’s pronounced ‘tranquillity, by the way.)

You will play over varying terrains, from metropolises, alien jungles, alien deserts – these complete with crablike aliens, of course, and a city on stilts over a sea-sized body of water. Each offers unique challenges for you in completing your missions, but also offers advantages too, if you know where to find them. You can wear different suits for the changing terrains.



You will battle the Pirates of the Crimson Fleet, which is a loose alliance of villains and outlaws as they invade the United Colonies’ territories (planets belonging to good guys) of Sagan, Cheyenne, Lunara, and Narion. You will team up with SysDef and the Freestar Collective to beat them back – or you can join the crimson side if that appeals more. Or, maybe do some mercenary work for them, getting mucky rather than full on down and dirty?

Keep your eyes open for the distinctive and very recognisable first aid packs for when your health or stamina needs topping up. The game was inspired by NASA – but a futuristic NASA in an alternate future – and Elon Musk and Space X collectively.

There are aliens in the game, on alien planets with alien cities, but based as much in reality as possible with necessary flights of imagination to allow for sentient, human-sized beings for the convenience of game play!



What Are We Seeking?


With exploration into space there are a number of reasons to go all that way. In real life, it is usually money or power (or both!) but in this game, it is left a little more mystically open:

  • Religion: does God exist? Or are there just super-powerful aliens who decided to interfere with our little spinning ball of rock? You can choose the spiritual side when seeing if you can find out the real secrets of life, the universe and all that

  • Science: what elements can be found in space? How do things behave under different atmospheric conditions? Can anyone hear you scream? Conduct experiences, collect samples and data and make the world a better place for all

  • Sci-fi: explore beyond the known by getting to grips with alien culture, languages and weaponry. Make friends in strange places, and influence politics towards diversity on a truly cosmic scale – or not, if their intentions are not ideal!


  • Starfield for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

    The game is boring, The story is boring, Ship building have too much restrictions AND HOLLY COW THE GAME IS NOT OPTIMISED! I paid this game 62 euros and didn't played it for more than 14 hours, this game is a shame and shouldn't be sold for that price. I have been waiting for years and I want to throw up at how bad it is. Peace out.
    • building can be a bit fun
    • wants to be no man sky to hard
    • Bad optimisation (lags)
    • Boring after 5 hours

    The game was fixed and it's really fun.

    • Some similar bugs that were present in Skyrim.

    I was honestly very pleasantly surprised by this. I went in with quite low expecations, since playing it on Gamepass when it came out. My pc could not handle it then but seems to run just fine now.

    If you like Skyrim, Fallout or any of those types of games then this is for you!
    • Very good visuals
    • Cool ship-building
    • Great weapons and armor sets
    • A lot of loading screens
    • Somewhat high pc requirements

    Nope, very poopy and a constant reminder that the game was made on the same engine as skyrim, very clunky and no mobility on planets.
    • Modify ships
    • go to different planets
    • Multiple side-quests
    • Too many Loading Screens
    • No real incentive to play
    • no ground vehicles = Lame

    Utter trash.

    The sloppiest coding I have ever seen.

    My setup could run KCD2, BG3, Cyberpunk without any issues but this has atrocious lags, stutter, lip de-sync and dozens of other issues. Changing settings or lowering graphic doesn't help either.

    The game itself sucks too.

    You hardly fly your ship there's so many loading screens.

    The shooting parts on foot feel like made for toddlers.

    The only game I regret buying here.
    • Shipbuilding sounds fun if you can tolerate all the other shit.

    Loading screen then loading screen then loading screen then loading screen, npc are spread on random point like 9 and everywhere there are nobody. I’ve got the recommandation config but there are few lags randomly, and game isn’t perfect. Then it’s all about wokism, you help a man to love an other male and you tall to girls who have two mother, i am not reaching the point of transgender things but i will find it, i know it. I’ve played like 7 missions. The only thing who was good was a trap with alien species. Fedex quests are tons

    A cosmic masterpiece, offering breathtaking visuals, expansive exploration, and RPG depth. Technical issues persist, but the celestial journey is worth the ride.

    I enjoyed my time playing the game.

    Game is a handful due to its high requirements but at least it got that Bethesda fun factor in it. You can explore on your own pace and the game does not rush you in anyway, cities are a bit to cluttered for my taste but it is ok
    • Great character creation
    • You are free to explore immediately once you land
    • Requires an SSD

    If you enjoy space-themed games, you're sure to find this one appealing. There's a wealth of quests to embark on, and with the added bonus of a new game plus feature, you can continue your journey even further.

    A boring mix of The elder Scrolls and Fallout in one game. The NPCs are boring, the storyline is boring, the music is boring, the combat is boring, the exploration is boring. I am a big fan of The Elder Scrolls series and the Fallout series, and this game is a bad mix of the two. Bethesda claims that Starfield is something brand new. It isn't. They just took two successful games of theirs and mixed them in a very lazy fashion. I remember well how I could sit all day long and play Morrowind, Oblivion or skyrim,or Fallout 3, and still wanting more. Now I play one mission in starfield and I am bored. I need a break to continue. It is so hard for me to believe that it took them so many years, as they claim, to develop this game, because there is nothing exciting about it. Such great expectations from this game, and such great disappointments.

    A great game with amazing graphics and story. A type of game that rarely is made. I haven't played it for a long time but it captivated me, every time I play it time just flies away, an hour feels like a minute.

    This game has so many issues I don't know where to start. It is a shame for Bethesda to fool customers with such a lousy game; it is almost a scam.

    lame lines (super shallow and childish)

    crashes

    countless loading waits

    absence of in-game indication/guidance

    unconvincing NPCs: they are just robots

    extreme confusing UI

    tedious quest (running, running, running, collecting and running )

    confusing landscape (no in-game map, many quests happen in edifices, and the routes are elaborately/unnecessarily complicated)

    Anyway, you would have to waste a lot of time for a little fun, if there is any fun. I will never pre-purchase any game from Bethesda in the future.

    It's a typical Bethesda game. If you liked Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas, you will like Starfield, for sure. For newcomers to the genre, It's definitely an acquired taste. A lot of people complain about the graphics, but I think they are in typical Bethesda style. The gameplay is engaging, but the sheer scale of the game, at first, feels very overwhelming. Took me 6 hours just to get out of the main city of New Atlantis.
    • Huge game (could be a con)
    • Lots to do in terms of quests and activities
    • Very engaging story
    • Hard to read maps
    • Space ship control is wonky

    i love the music, the graphics, the ship mechanics. it's a much needed refresher RPG game. however it's not a GOTY and it's not the generational game we were waiting for. it lacks storyline gravitas. and it lacks many basic exploration games mechanics for example "Surface maps" are missing from cities and planets

    Game is overall good the only problem thats bugging me is the fact that the game is advertised as next gen yet runs worse that the last gen, very poorly optimized graphics and performance. I suggest you should wait for fixes or updates before you buy and read reviews.

    As soon as the performance issues for the pc are fixed go for it dont even wait to buy. 7/10

    Bugs, stary faces, there are boundaries, you can't travel anywhere you want. Many things to do but it goes down to missions and missions. Game engine recycled from 15 years ago, this is NOT an next game. It's not what was announced. It's a game like many others. And Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls are MUCH better than this. Pity.

    I'm playing on Xbox series X and I'm disappointed with the graphics , very last generation , I just finished playing far cry 5 with the next gen update and it looks a lot better than starfield , the game is not bad but has the poorest graphics I've seen on this generation console.

    It feels like a walking simulator as you spend 70% of the game just walking around. There is no clean, nice and independent transition in hyperspace and landing in a SPACE game. This is so ssd from an tripple A game.
    • it looks amazing
    • Weapons are great
    • You can't land by your self
    • you are 70% of the game in your overlay

    Poorly optimize, can barely play it on my system. 1070 gtx and a i5-7600k, also installed on SSD card. I would really like to do a refund.

    I expected to at least have a steady 60 fps, but even when I have able to reach that bare minimum, the game keeps freezing for 5 seconds.
    • Good aesthetic
    • Poorly optimized
    • Freezes every 30 seconds

    Starfield falls flat with repetitive gameplay, lackluster graphics, and uninspiring storytelling. A galactic disappointment.

    Starfield, the highly anticipated space exploration game, had the potential to be a stellar experience, but it ultimately falls short in several key areas. While it offers a vast universe to explore, it fails to deliver on the promise of a truly immersive and engaging space adventure.

    One of the most glaring issues with Starfield is its technical performance. The game is plagued with numerous bugs, glitches, and crashes, which severely detract from the overall experience. Players have reported issues ranging from game-breaking crashes to graphical anomalies that break immersion. Bethesda, known for their open-world games, should have ironed out these technical issues before release.

    The graphics in Starfield are also a letdown. Given the game's long development cycle and the power of modern gaming hardware, many expected cutting-edge visuals. Unfortunately, the game's graphics are underwhelming, with uninspiring textures and character models that lack detail. The environments, while diverse, often feel bland and repetitive.

    Moreover, the storytelling in Starfield leaves much to be desired. Bethesda is renowned for its rich and immersive worlds, but Starfield's narrative falls flat. The main story lacks depth and fails to make players truly care about the characters or the overarching plot. The dialogue options, while numerous, often lead to inconsequential outcomes, making choices feel inconsequential.

    The game's side quests also suffer from a lack of meaningful engagement. Many of them feel like filler content rather than compelling adventures. The absence of memorable side characters or questlines further diminishes the game's replayability.

    In terms of gameplay, Starfield offers a mix of space exploration, first-person shooting, and role-playing elements. While this blend could have been intriguing, it feels disjointed and lacks cohesion. The space exploration aspect is marred by tedious resource management and uninspired planetary exploration. Ship customization, which could have been a highlight, feels shallow and limited in scope.

    The combat in Starfield is serviceable but fails to stand out in a crowded field of sci-fi shooters. It lacks the fluidity and depth seen in other titles, making it feel like an afterthought rather than a core aspect of the gameplay experience.
    • Repetive/boring
    • Buggy
    • Unfinished
