Before the official release of Starfield, the game received high praise from bloggers, game critics, and professional journalists. Previews and reviews of the new game from Bethesda Softworks highlighted its “excellent performance” along with “deep” and “well-developed” mechanics that allow players to explore space. However, it has been discovered that Starfield has serious issues, particularly in terms of technical condition, even on consoles. It appears that the high ratings and excitement surrounding the game were merely a clever manipulation by Microsoft.
Forbes, an authoritative publication, pointed out that something was amiss with the ratings of Starfield. Journalists from this portal, like many others, were not provided with early access keys to the game, and they had to start playing the massive role-playing game after its release.
The media believes that Microsoft and Bethesda selectively chose who to send copies of the game to, which influenced the “enthusiastic” reviews upon release. Gamers have noticed that most of the high ratings for Starfield came from publications directly controlled by Microsoft or those that have had a long-standing collaboration with them. Independent media outlets have been increasingly giving low ratings to the game as time goes on.
Starfield is not a broken game, it’s just boring. Exploring the uncharted depths of space is one of the most exciting concepts in video games, but Starfield managed to make it uninteresting and monotonous. Instead of reaching for the stars, it misses the opportunity for a true space adventure.
– writes the Metro editor.
Journalists complain about problematic optimization, a “superficial” and sometimes “empty” open world. The percentage of negative reviews is also gradually increasing among users. The game’s rating on Steam has already dropped to 73%.
