I have found the discourse about Starfield online irritating to the extreme.

I am approximately 20 hours in, so I am not super far and have not come anywhere close to completing what is on offer. That being said, I wonder if this discourse about this game would be more reasonable and level headed if the developer and publisher were anonymous.

Anyone saying this is a mid, wait for it to be $10 throwaway game, or that Todd and Bethesda “lied again” or whatever are out of their minds.

On the other side of that coin, anyone saying this game is a 10/10 generational masterpiece are also missing some serious flaws.

I despise number scores for games so I will just say this. This is how I would compare it to the other major releases this year that I have played

1. Baldurs gate 3
2. Starfield
3. RE4 Remake
4. Diablo 4 (pre first season patch that ruined the game)
5. Jedi Survivor.

And I really liked all of these games. It’s been a fantastic year for gaming, and Starfield has been a legitimately good time
