This is pretty much how I feel about Starfield.

It's got some strengths, but none of them able to cover for the sheer amount of bad boring writing and in general hamfisted story.

It's good... if you ignore all the bad parts.

Oh starfield so much wasted potential.

Tl:dr: starfield is loading screen the game.

I wanted to play it, because I wanted to play something like no man sky with real npcs and good voice acting and good gunplay fallout like not what no man's sky has. I wanted really to ignore the bad stuff but I got so mad at this game, everything is a loading screen, to lvl sneak was impossible because enemies could see me and instant get agro even when they were on the opposite of the room (100m) and only my head was visible. How should I level sneak when I need to make stealth damage?! The story was hyped for science the vision of the artifact ended in disappointing after doing the first 2 missions. It was just fech quests and to much loading screens. Goes to planet, loading screen, lands on planet, loading screen, goes inside underground city, loading screen, need to go to another room of city, loading screen, aks where person is who I search, needed to go to another planets orbit, loading screen, sneak against ship in space worked, need to to another station, loading screen, docks station, loading screen, kill some enemies, need to go to another planets orbit, loading screen, shoot a ship to board it, board it, loading screen, kill some enemies, rescue a dude, go back to new Atlantis, loading screen, goes inside building to end quest, loading screen, quit game.

Luckily I didn't buyed it and only used game pass, and even for that i got the money back after canceling the subscription.

Same here. I played about 30 hours and realized I wasn't actually having fun with it. I was just going through the motions. Because ultimately, it's a really empty game. A mile wide and an inch deep.

Refunded it 30 mins in, Baldurs Gate broke the Starfield illusion for me
