The gaming community is split over Starfield. With an eight-year wait building anticipation, expectations were inevitably high.
What was once one of 2023's most eagerly awaited titles may conclude the year with a "Mostly Negative" recent review consensus on Steam. Despite this, the game's aggregate review score is still "Mixed," which isn't reassuring.
The question of whether Starfield can recover its reputation still needs to be answered. While forthcoming DLC and patches have the potential to inject more vitality into the game, many criticisms are rooted in the fundamental game design and the traditional elements of Bethesda's RPGs, which, for some, have lost their former appeal.
