Starfield

Starfield, Bethesda Softworks, 2023

  1. Release date: September 6
  2. Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X/S
  3. Our score: 8.5/10

For a long, time Starfield has been hyping us up for a great space adventure. For Han Solo and Skyrim simulator in space combined. And in general, most of the announcements were confirmed. We received a game in the style known from other Bethesda titles, in which we can truly immerse ourselves for dozens of hours and experience incredible adventures. You can let your imagination run wild in the mechanics of building your spaceship or an outpost on an unknown planet.

Maybe it didn't turn out to be a perfect game, undoubtedly deserving a 10/10, but it's a product that will attract many people and offer them plenty of great fun. If Starfield falls short somewhere, it's mainly the technical limitations of the engine that prevent the gameplay's development. Meanwhile, considering other space production that focuses on online aspects, has no story or is still in the tech demo phase, Starfield offers the most complete and satisfying space RPG experience.

Starfield is one of the biggest releases of this year, and I must admit that the game met my expectations. I got what I wanted and even a little more. However, I realize that Starfield won't be a product for everyone. It has typical Bethesda pros and cons – fortunately, there are significantly more of the former, and they aren't overshadowed by any flaws that spoil the gameplay experience.

The developers delivered a surprisingly complete product for the premiere, which should appeal to many players. The clever combination of tested solutions with a new setting makes me want more. I will definitely play Starfield again. Or even two. Well, with mods, it's probably even three.
