Starfield Review "Buy, Wait, Never Touch?"Starfield is coming out soon from Bethesda. Thanks to them for the very early review code. Lets see if it was worth...
He talked a lot about his experience and feelings (and that’s great!) but I wish he went a bit more into actual mechanics. How “RPG-like” is the game, do choices and builds matter or do you just stack stats and better gear? How is the enemy scaling? What are the build archetypes, if any? Other outlets said the exploration is a bit lacking, so is the settlement building complex enough to carry the game on its own or are we going to have to wait a few years until we get “sim settlements” or something?
It definitely looks like a purchase for me down the line but I still can’t tell what kind of demographic is the game actually aimed at, if that makes sense. Is the focus exploration? Basebuilding? Story? Or is it really everything a bit but nothing in specific?
