Here’s what critics are saying about it.<\/p>\n

\n
Destructoid (10\/10)<\/strong><\/div>\n

“Starfield <\/em>is an epic sandbox open-world RPG with a beautifully immersive universe, a captivating story, and fun and compelling gameplay the whole way. I’m so happy to have experienced Starfield<\/em> organically, and I really hope you get to as well.”<\/p>\n

GameInformer (8.5\/10)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

“It took me a long time to fall in love with Starfield, and even after I did, certain aspects didn’t work for me. But the things I didn’t enjoy are vastly outweighed by my enthusiasm for this new, original science fiction universe, the breadth of its adventures, and the appeal of its many interwoven stories. Go in with the expectation that it will take some time to find your footing in such a vast gameplay space, and there’s a universe well worth discovering here.”<\/p>\n

IGN (7\/10)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

“Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.”<\/p>\n

\n
Gamespot (7\/10)<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

“When you strip Starfield down to its essentials, it relies on a tried-and-true, but well-tread formula while missing some of the depth of the games that came before it. Starfield is a game more concerned with quantity than quality, and leaves the experience at the surface level.”<\/p>\n
