152 hours, 50/62 achievements and multiple New Game+'s. I cannot recommend Starfield for more than $15. This game is the poster child for 'a mile wide but an inch deep'. Yeah, there's a LOT you COULD do. But you'll end up doing that same thing about 50 times as you go through the game. And don't get me started on load screens. Multiple load screens just to travel to another planet in a space based game is insanity. There are some REALLY solid ideas in there, but they're a stark minority. Some of the quests in the game are very good. But those are few and far between.

Buggy, glitchy, messy. Poorly optimized. Really sucks because the atmosphere is great. The world is very cool. But the devs really like to make you lose control of your character often. Really unenjoyable. I'm all about hardcore and struggle and payoff, but if I can't even control my own character properly, that is extraordinarily frustrating. Not to mention the random bugs where you just take massive damage running around from no source whatsoever. This needs to cook. Possibly for a few more years. Or, until modders get their fingers into it. History repeats.

I've put a few hours in, and I've had my "fun". Time after time though, every one of my missions or open worlds is plagued with bugs, glitches, or something broken in a half baked update. Build a base on a nice outlook? Better not start a hunt mission or the boss's lair will spawn LITERALLY INSIDE YOUR CONSTRUCTED BASE. No checks game-side to make sure terrain won't overlap, or not even a warning of "you are building in a potential boss spawn location". Nada. "Hey we added batteries." I then had to spend two days rewiring and replumbing my entire consistent world.

All that aside, there are some great ideas here, but with the poor, intermittent performance, and lack of solid polish...Save yourself the future frustrations.

Simply incredible. As good and much better than DIvinity series, which is saying a lot for Larian.

2020. Best type of game for this type of year.

With new full release, adds a whole new way to play the game via campaign. Gives definite original Starcraft vibes. Highly recommend.

Great crafting system, lot of items/building materials to actually craft. Also based off a recipe system, so adds more to the loot pool. Zombie AI isn't terrible, can be a bit overwhelming at night, if running zeds is on. Find a good group, and survive together, longer.

After Alpha 15, Much better game. Very thoroughly fleshed out, and crafting and building has done nothing but get much better. Same can be said for alpha 17, WHOLE new game!
