I was so looking foward to this game. Skyrim or maybe Fallout 4, in space! Nope. It's awful. I would give this 0 stars. I would give this negative stars if it was allowed. There is absolutely nothing to see here. This is nothing more than a horrible mish-mash of "Prey"and "The Outer Worlds". If you have played "The Outer Worlds", you have played Starfield. This game is nothing but an exercise in frustration. Migraine inducing, moon-faced assassin of joy, coupled with a healthly does castor oil. Zero fun, all aggravation. The minutiae is just an impedement for the player. Want to level up and spend that skill point? Well, that's not happening until you've unlocked the skill challenge, and there's one for every skill and it's corresponding higher levels. Want to try your hand at researching that upgrade? Good luck with that. Resources are unavailable or simply non-existent. The on screen text is so small you can not read what the item is, also annoying. Conversation text is fine, but everything else will make you wish you had a magnifying glass in your helmet. Your companions are little more than Jimeny Cricket, croaking in your headset about taking an item or not hauling junk. Most of the time you wish they'd just be quiet. Fight the same enemy over and over, and then get extorted at every turn. Need that sensor, you'll be paying more than you've got in your Constellation spacesuit pockets. The main quest is boring and poorly thought out. Factions, et al, are a distraction, nothing more, they do not move the story along and only serve to prolong the game when youre long done with caring about whatever that spinny orb thing is supposed to be. A shame really, some of the graphics are lovely, but the rest is dry, dusty, grey, lifeless loadscreen space. Don't waste your time or your money. Go play Skyrim again. You'll have much more fun and less headaches.
