The game is really good.

There's a very nice balance between exploration and building for the most part of the game. Exploring feels fresh even when exploring the same areas since a lot of things change as you keep terraforming the planet. There are loads of things to find and to build and it's nice to see how the environment changes.

The experience got worse toward the end though, especially the final stage felt like I just spammed more buildings and rockets to hurry up the process to reach full terraformation and to be able to reach one of the possible endings. At this point I already knew I beat the game and there were no more unlocks or things to explore, so it became kinda boring.

The endgame activities are tied to some background lore that you'll be able to figure out through finding old wrecks and messages and ruins and stuff. Some light exploration puzzles are also involved. I replayed the end to be able to reach all possible endings, and the final objectives to reach these endings felt kinda rushed. It's either find X amount of these around the world or farm X amount of this.

Despite the very last part of the endgame feeling rushed I still highly recommend the game!

On a 3090 and game runs like absolute ass regardless of settings.

Also don't seem to be any fov slider and the low fov makes me wanna throw up.

I like the game more with mouse and keyboard than controller but for some reason it feels like mouse acceleration is turned on. If you move your mouse slowly the camera barely turns at all compared to if you move it the same distance quicker.

Still very fun

Hard to say which one is game of the year so far for me, Starfield or Baldur's Gate 3.
They are so different though.

I love the atmosphere in Starfield and the gameplay is mostly a lot of fun.

I've probably only scratched the surface, but even if I do eventually get bored or irritated with things along the way I feel like the experience so far has made it worth buying.

The one thing I don't like is the UI, it's about as bad as in every other Bethesda game and can feel sluggish a lot of the time. I wish the game would ship with a different UI for PC.

The performance is acceptable on high end systems but worse than you'd expect. I run between 55 - 90 fps in most areas with 1440p, FSR2 and everything on max, except shadows that are on high instead of ultra. Loading times are quick in most cases.

Specs: Intel i9 10900k, rtx 3090, 64gb ram (likely no factor in performance), samsung 990 pro nvme m.2 ssd.

All in all would highly recommend!

Tons of fun.

Music is 10/10.

Would love to give this a positive review multiplayer is fun and the campaign is great as well apart from all the crashing.

MP works without crashes but during the campaign the crashes just get more and more frequent for every mission.

Right now I'm at a mission where there's a segment where I gotta enter and clear out a warehouse and it always crashes before I reach the next checkpoint so it's impossible to progress.

I loved Ultima Online and Mortal Online 2 ticks some of the right boxes.

However Ultima Online had really fun pvp while the combat is Mortal Online is just garbage.
Also the 1 server vision is delusional, there is no such thing as a netcode that eliminates latency issues in a real time game.

Pro:
Fun gunplay

Con:

Matchmakign sucks it often gives you games with almost empty server when playing at non peak hours, this happens even if you untick skill based match making and it just feels like a huge waste of time.

Maps are too big game would be more fun if maps were abt 80% of the current size or if they added 1 more team.

Physics suck and there's a weird delay to everything even if you shoot ppl at point blank range sometimes there's a delay before you get any feedback.

Fog / night maps makes everybody scared and slowing down the game even more and it doesnt feel tactical at all, its just fear.

Dawn / evening time of day lightning and shadows are so weird it nearly gives your eyes cancer.

Everything is always flickering.

UI is terrible.

Quests are just padding the game with useless stuff and should be removed.

Everything feels floaty and the pacing is terrible. Held block ruins the pace of the game even further.

The game is fun at first but after the novelty wears of the things mentioned above ruins the experience.

I have more hours than the ones here on steam.

Super fun battle royale and its free. Has some issues, but nothing that gets in the way of fun gameplay imo.

You spend more time fighting other players in this than other similar games.
