I still enjoy Starfield after 60 hours and the enjoyment is even growing. I'm sick of pretending the game isn't good, just because the hive mind decided so. It has flaws sure, but which game doesn't?
Some environments are amazing and change so much by daytime or weather. I love this.
I still find it very good game. The upgrade systems could use a bit better of a tutorial but I respect a game that takes a minute for a player to figure out the puzzle. Because those are the games I like.
The Mantis puzzle was a bit painful but I got it after a few tries. But the game seems to have more to it. I am enjoying just traveling space and seeing what is out there.
Spaceship upgrades seem cool. The shipbuilder has a good potential for a sandbox deal if you get enough money. Unlocking and upgrading is intwinded with the story which is normal. The dialogue is a bit overwhelming at times, but it's space Skyrim. I don't know what people are up in arms about. It looks gorgeous. It's fun most of the time. What do people want?
Screw the hive mind!
Can you tell me what makes it draw you in?
I like the game as a whole. I could name you shortcomings of nearly every aspect of the game yet as a whole I have a really good time.
Some quests have a too early ending or sudden dropoff, yet they were fun and the dialogues were good. Building your spacecraft is fun, despite the restrictions on how you can rotate stuff. The points of interest are often kind of lacking, but then on I'm in space and I don't mind mostly "empty" planets as that's what space is.
It's actually kind of strange, because I don't like No Man's Sky. I find that game so boring and tedious. While Starfield is engaging to me. I wish the survival aspects of the game were a bit more, as they got nerfed too much. I'd like to prepare for the planet conditions.
I don't like that unique weapon rewards aren't unique other than a name/skin. But the overall weapon of the game are fun and I have many in my inventory that I barely use because I enjoy the ones I main. (Meaning I have enough for New Game+ as I just focus on laser and energy weapons at the moment)
The environment often shines at night, the weather looks great and I like the music creating a good synergy.
I found NPCs to be enjoyable too, while I'm sad I can't put two NPC of Neon in my ship crew (the bagger girl and the gang girl, sorry I don't have their names at hand)
Space battles are fun and not too hard but not too easy. (I play on hard difficulty though).
I have fun with the quests too. Just a few days ago I did a side mission with a rough AI, that I could solve peacefully with Ryujin dialogue options. I have yet to visit Chrimson Fleet and do most of the main story. I'm just at the beginning and there's so much great stuff yet to happen.
