GameCentral offers an extended look at the new sci-fi epic from the makers of Skyrim and Fallout, but does Starfield live up to the hype?
before we can offer a full, scored review of Starfield but that’s not just because it takes a long time to beat it. Most of the time a game’s merits are obvious fairly early on but with Starfield things are complicated. What’s clear to us now is that theare some of the worst in the game, in terms of the story, the insubstantial tutorials, and the boring and ugly planets you visit at the start.
The dialogue may be unengaging but the story gets off to a brisk start, as you play the part of a lowly miner who finds an alien artefact and is enrolled into a sort of sci-fi version of a Victorian explorer club. That often leads to disappointment though and you’re much better to just follow sub-quests around, which will quickly start chaining together, much like Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, as you happily bounce from one unique mission to another.
It’s a shame, as space combat is quite good, with an interesting energy distribution system inspired by the X-Wing games, although it hasn’t evolved at all in the hours since our first preview – other than the need to run away being more prevalent than in ground combat. Although, even then the game misses a trick as you can jump away almost instantly, rather than there being any kind of tension-creating hyperspace calculations to substantially delay your departure.
You can be as nice or as snarky as you like with your companions but, as usual with Bethesda, the romance options are extremely prudish and simplistic – a world away from the playful maturity of. But the characters in general lack depth, with cliché life stories and motivations that don’t come anywhere close to convincing you that they’re real people.
In terms of graphics, it’s a mixed bag. The facial animation, although better than Bethesda’s last gen games, is still well below average and yet it’s also very inconsistent and you often run into minor characters that look and animate better than those with much more significant roles.
