Bethesda created a modern Fallout without its charm, personality or competent level design. The impressive technological graphical advancements are blemished by the bland artstyle and horrendous looking NPCs. For a title that tries to make you feel free to explore, its numerous loading screen and segmented maps that rely on fast travel (to be bearable) take you out of the experience. Exploring is devoid of adventure or wonder as you do nothing more than excessively running on an mostly flat map, breaking rocks and discovering the nth procedurally generated cave.

At least the movement and shooting mechanics are the best in the developers history. Though, its not saying much with the mostly dead enemy AI. The ship combat is just fine. Administrating your ships power between offense, defense and fleeing is surprisingly engaging.

Starfield is simply a boring ass game that from a technical standpoint, is a competently well made game. It works on the bones of Bethesda's previous titles but the shiny coat of paint dosent cover its antiquated aspects. Dialogue has been done leagues better in other titles. Characters are uninteresting. The main story is some direct to video/Tubi movie made by a fan that does not understand better movies.
A profound disappointment in a stellar year for games.
