It's all too convoluted to be fun. Once you finish the game and start looking into how you actually aquire your desired items you realize it's a massive waste of time.

It's great.

If you manage to survive to sector 4 the enemies shoot shield penetrating missiles that oneshot your crewmembers. There is difficulty and there is bs, this is bs.

You know that feeling you get when you sit still for too long and have the overwhelming urge to move?
This feeling is what you experience the entire game.
Beside the terrible mechanics and mindbogeling bs that is.

Great game. Definitely worth the price.
There are some things that need to be tweaked like the ability to chose all passives and the lack of focus on class specific abilities but it is definitely a lot of game for little money.

Massive grindfest.
Constant pop-ups to keep adhd zoomers engaged.
Zero enemy variety, bulletsponge enemies.
DLC mount is janky trash.
Shallow.

Wokest game of the century. In starfield there are no white men. Women have learned to synthesise semen and all white male babies get killed immediately. The matriarchy of starfield rules with an iron fist. All women and black men get fasttracked into positions of power and the few illegal white men get the low tier jobs. This is the future bethesda wants.

If you are interested in the story don't be. The universe of Starfield is bland, uninteresting and unmemorable.
Factions are cookie cutter theme parks, characters are soulless and in the end you learn that nothing even matters anyway. They completely dropped all pretense now, it's just some girlboss going go here do this because boring stuff.

It is a game made for guys who play as females, NPCs unable to understand the concept of immersion, unable to dream and unable to have an inner monologue.

There is no rich lore like in Elder Scrolls or Fallout, thought up by better creators, that keeps you invested. This is all Nu-Bethesda and it's as bad as it gets.

Exposition dump after exposition dump. Walls of text everywhere and not the good kind. A lot seems like written by children. When it tries to be funny it's not, when it tries to be adorable it's annoying and when it tries to make a point it's stupid and shallow. I have never played a more boring rpg. The writing is sucking all the exitement out of what could have been a decent rpg.

It is a great game, however to enjoy the game to it's full potential you need the first two games as well as all dlcs from all games. They carry over to each next game and the overall price is just too steep to recommend the game.

If you are a Warhammer fan and have a few favourite factions i would definitely recommend it.

The biggest flaw is there is no randomization and no customization at all:
You always play on the same map, you always play at the same starting position and there is no way of picking map size or random starting point. Mostly because of the favorable terrain mechanic.
