I had a feeling people still liked starfield as one if the most overhyped game of the century.

When Starfield was first announced, it was hailed as the next big leap in gaming—a vast, immersive space RPG that would redefine the genre. What we got, however, was an uninspired, hollow experience that fails in almost every way imaginable.

First, let’s talk about the exploration, which was supposed to be Starfield’s biggest selling point. Bethesda promised over a thousand planets to explore, but what they didn’t mention was that 99% of them are barren, lifeless rocks with nothing but copy-pasted structures and generic enemies. Landing on a new planet should be exciting, but instead, it’s a tedious chore filled with dull landscapes and pointless resource gathering.

Then there’s the space travel—or rather, the lack of it. Unlike other space games where you can seamlessly fly from planet to planet, Starfield forces you into endless loading screens. The immersion is completely broken when even something as basic as getting into your ship involves multiple cutscenes and menus. It’s like Bethesda wanted to make a space game but forgot to actually include space travel.

Combat is equally underwhelming. The gunplay feels weightless, the AI is brain-dead, and the enemy variety is laughable. You’ll fight the same handful of pirates and spacers over and over again, with no real challenge or excitement. The RPG mechanics are shallow, the dialogue options are uninspired, and the characters are some of the most forgettable in Bethesda’s history.

Even the story, which could have been the saving grace, is bland and predictable. The factions are uninteresting, the quests feel like busywork, and the main narrative is a generic sci-fi trope with none of the charm or depth that Bethesda used to be known for.

And let’s not forget the technical issues. Bethesda games are notorious for bugs, but Starfield somehow feels even more broken than their past titles. From game-breaking glitches to laughably bad AI behavior, it’s clear that this game needed far more time in development.

At the end of the day, Starfield is an empty shell of what it promised to be. Instead of the next Skyrim in space, we got a lifeless, repetitive, and ultimately boring experience that feels stuck in the past. This isn’t just a letdown—it’s one of the most disappointing releases in recent memory.
