Starfield really executes well in a lot of areas that don't get talked about enough. The gunplay is excellent with a wide variety of weapon types and playstyles. An intriguing backstory adds interesting context to the universe. NPCs are the best I've seen in a Bethesda title and the side quests can be equally as interesting. I find myself willing to play the side quests more often than in Fallout/Elder Scrolls games. Ship building, weapons, and spacesuits all have deep upgrade trees. Mod support is off the charts. This game really is over-hated in my opinion. The problem this game has that its Fallout/Elder Scrolls cousins do not is the setting. While the quantity explorable planets locations is enormous, transiting between planets breaks continuity making the "world" feel small and disjointed. It's a common pitfall of open-world, space RPGs. However the post-launch addition of free lanes does a pretty good job at getting away from the "loading screen simulator" it was at launch. Bethesda really has been listening to the community and providing free quality of life updates and seems intent on supporting the title into 2027. While this game may not be for everyone it's not as bad as its made out to be and really has come a long way since launch. I think its on its way to becoming a cult classic. Especially with the fast growing modding community, this game will age well. If you like Fallout and Elder Scrolls give Starfield a try. If the loading screens bother you, instead of fast travelling everywhere, take the time to get in your ship, takeoff, and fly between planets. It adds a little bit of friction but it goes a long way in maintaining the immersion.
