There is no way that the most polished game that Bethesda has ever produced, with deeper RPG systems than their last 2 singleplayer RPG's to boot, is actually an 87 game, one point lower than Fallout 4's 88. Without the anti-Xbox and anti-Bethesda bias this would be sitting on a 92-93 average most likely. PC Gamer gave it a low review as expected, though surprisingly the other outlet that constantly attacked Starfield pre-release, Game Rant, gave it a 5/5. Guess the hate articles were nothing but a clickbait grift because they are struggling financially. |
I think it definitely doesn't help that we have a combination of Bethesda has to deliver after Fallout 76 so expectations are sky-high and Xbox has to deliver for a lack of major AAA exclusive so that adds even more expectations. Although PCGamer is a typically harsh reviewer either way, even before their clickbait articles I thought they'd score it low, they gave Hi-Fi Rush a 69, Lol.
