Fun Bethesda game, I personally feel like it's a Fallout 4 expansion in space somehow, but in general you are mostly being forced to play the main story and mostly focus on that more than exploring or doing anything freely, and yes loads and lots of loading screens to move from planet to other to a "fake" space, one thing I agree on though, the space in this game feels as empty as irl space, which is a positive point and somehow realistic.

Anyways I need a new SSD to play this game, more so I'm sure it will be fun with mods on the later go as every Bethesda game, as of right now I can't justify the full price for it being delivered like that, I'm no one to complain about a bethesda buggy game with "bugs" got used to it by now, it's just the performance issues and making me feel like my PC is getting older already.

Greetings,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Starfield!
While there may be loading screens in between fast travelling, just consider the amount of data for the expansive gameplay that is procedurally generated to load flawlessly in under 3 seconds. We believe that shortcoming will not hinder our players from getting lost in the world we created.
Starfield is an RPG with hundreds of hours of quests to complete and characters to meet. Most quests will also vary on your character’s skills and decisions, massively changing the outcome of your playthrough. Try creating different characters with backgrounds and characteristics that clash or are oppositive of your previous character. You will feel like you are playing a totally different game. Put points in different skills from a character you’ve previously created, and you are now faced with completely different decisions to make and difficulties to encounter. There are so many layers to Starfield, that you will find things you’ve never knew were possible after playing for hundreds of hours.
Even after completing the Main Story, your adventure doesn’t end! You can continue onto New Game+ to keep exploring Starfield and all that is out there!

Thanks again and we hope you return to your journey through space soon!

I genuinely want to give this game another chance when the mods are actually fixing it and making it actually fun to explore and play, aside from the performance issues I faced, the game story just didn't quite attracted me, and I'm a huge fan of Fallout 4, I can't say this is something to come out in 2023, this is just not it, I put 4 hours or so and I already feel like what am I even doing here, to put even hundreds? I don't think that will ever happen anytime soon, I was really hyped for it and hoped it would really become the next hit, I had my expectation as low as I can, because I been bitten with Fallout 76 as well.

Regardless I appreciate the reply to my review that means my small rant was read and hoping the devs would actually work on making it a better game eventually.
