Working on a time machine to go back in time and cancel my premium edition preorder so that I can play it on Xbox gamepass.

This game is the only one that made me upset about what I expected and what I've got. I wasn't even expecting something huge. Just watched some trailers, and got hyped a little with all of those features. Aaaand... The game gives you lots of content, mechanics, and other stuff. But do I think any of those features stand out well and make me say "Doing x in Starfield is better than doing x in game y."? NO..

Exploration is a complete lie in this game. Everything other than hand-crafted cities are just randomly generated things. There is nothing to do, nothing to explore on planets. You might say it's realistic, but the point is having fun and exploring things, right? You only encounter some space pirates who start shooting you from 200m for no reason, and a few different resources to collect, and that's it.

When it comes to the story, the RPG elements are loosely implemented. It's not all bad as it is in exploration, but I expected more. The presentation of the story or even the smallest dialogs are just out of this generation of gaming. When I say this, people start to defend with only one thing: It's a Bethesda game. And I'm not going to talk about it.. The main story is boring and pointless. There are a lot of side quests, and more than half of it is just pointless and empty things. Go somewhere and kill someone, or go to this planet and bring me this material type of missions. Some of the side quest lines are good. They are even better than the main story. But that's it. Nothing fancy about missions and the story.

One last thing is that there is no space in this game. The immersion of being in space is totally broken. We have got a spaceship, but why? To have combats with other ships while planet PNG images rotate around us? You are not free, you cannot travel between planets, and you cannot land where you want because there is actually no planet, no travelling. You go everywhere by teleporting, even the smallest shops in cities need a loading screen like in it's 2010. Everything is just being randomly generated after you fast-travel into somewhere. Unfortunately, It feels so incomplete. I would rather have 3-5 planets with hand-crafted cities, outposts, and a few other living beings. This way, I believe that everything could fit together more nicely.

At the end, you start thinking about playing other space-themed games. Starfield tries to implement lots of stuff, and it does, but at a mediocre level. Different games do the same things but much better. They only focus on small parts of Starfield, and make it much more stable and better like No Man's Sky, Mass Effect and Elite Dangerous do.
