Starfield

is a very interesting made Sci-Fi Game with lots of Planets, Questlines and Characters to visit. Players are not just able to jump from one System to the next, they are also given the chance to build and fly their own Space-Ship and assign recruited Crew-Members to it and take one of them as companion to all of the adventures and combats that are ahead.
And if that is not enough it also offers an Outpost-System for those who want to make their own little Intergalactic Material-gathering empire with automatic supply lines via Transportships.

The Game’s strength is clearly its high variety of Quests that it offers and that it does not force the Player to do them in specific Order. Like in previous Bethesda-Games its up to the Player in which direction the adventure will go and which Parts of the Universe to be explored. It also offers different Play-Styles and Weapons to accomplish different outcomes in some of the Adventures.
And it also has implemented interesting Encounters that can happen randomly while flying through space.

The weak Part of the Game tho is its instability, where the Developers have delivered lots of Patches but sadly still not entirely fixed the sometimes occurring Game-Crashes. Safing a lot is highly recommended. Also the limits it sets for Ship-Building can be frustrating, cause it does not show them at first and thus are very surprising when trying to build larger Ships but then get interrupted by the pop-up message “Element-Limit reached!”.

I recommend this Game to everyone who likes Space-Ships and Sci-Fi Themed RPGs with lots of Questlines to discover.
---------------------------------
Points i give this Game (average Points 6,77 / 10):
7,4 / 10 Graphic (Solid graphics on lots of the Characters and Environment, but a little lacking when it comes to larger Surfaces)
6 / 10 Art-Style (Some Plants and Creatures have a unique Design, but it gets very repetitive after a while, would have been nice to see larger varieties for Flora and Fauna)
8 / 10 Atmosphere (Great Sci-Fi Atmosphere and very entertaining in Space-Combat, as specially in some Questlines)
7,8 / 10 Gameplay (Easy to go into type of Gameplay. But the Lock-Picking is not ok and annoying after just a few locks.)
6,2 / 10 Main-Story (Typical for Bethesda-Games, the Main-Story is not so well as it could have been and some Elements in that Story dont make much sense.)
8,2 / 10 Side-Story (The Side-Stories are really well implemented and offer much more unique Elements for the Game as a whole. As specially the unique Characters that can be met in those Side-Stories feel special compared to regular NPCs.)
6,8 / 10 Characters (Lots of Characters to met in that Universe, but sometimes a little over the Top Biography-like Dialogues with them. And annoying when they always talk more about their Love-Life rather than what they expect to be done in the Quest.)
7,5 / 10 Soundtracks (The Soundtracks are good, but sadly the variety for such a large Universe is not enough and thus some Tracks get repetitive after a few combats)
3 / 10 Major-Bugs (Random crashes that can occur at any moment in the Game. Sometimes Patches made it less frequent and then new patches made it more frequent again. Safing a lot is highly recommended)
