Review of Starfield

Starfield (2023 Video Game)
4/10
Bethesda at its best!

Warning: Spoilers
Bethesda have cracked it again! Absolute better of an opening where I got to pretend to be a miner for 10 minutes before touching a magic leaf spring and seeing a vision of an elaborate screen saver before being thrown into some fantastic mediocre gunplay against space pirates of all things! (where do they get their ideas??) Follow this up with a rip-roaring adventure across the vastness of space and dozens of aesthetically different but functionally similar systems, all of which are accessible through a truly seminal fast travel system (don't want to get over excited and find something interesting like you would in No Man's Sky or Elite Dangerous as this might distract you from the base building or terribly interesting plot) and you've got yourself a Bethesda game!

Make sure you have plenty of memory available so you don't have to sacrifice too much of your gameplay when it eventually Bethesdas and drops a game breaking glitch for no reason. Having played around 40 or so hours I can safely say this is the worse Bethesda game I have played in terms of jank and I was a there day 1 for Skyrim. The only saving grace is I've played this on Gamepass so in real terms it's cost me nothing which somehow still seems to high a price.
