00:00 Starfield, arguably the summer's hottest and most anticipated game is here.
00:06 The reviews are in, and absolutely no one anywhere is surprised about any of it.
00:11 Is it good?
00:12 Yeah, it's good.
00:13 Is it vast?
00:14 Oh, it is vast.
00:15 Is it a Bethesda RPG riddled with bugs and game-breaking glitches that will have both
00:20 tears of frustration and hilarity roll down your cheeks?
00:24 You betcha.
00:25 Story-wise, IGN reports that Bethesda has built out a sprawling universe with detailed
00:30 lore in which humanity has left Earth behind and colonized the galaxy, but hasn't made
00:35 first contact with sentient aliens as of the 24th century.
00:40 It's chock-full of backstory about wars between its three major factions, run-ins with mysterious
00:46 space deathclaws, pirates, and an immense amount more.
00:50 According to Video Games Chronicle, from a combat perspective, Starfield is easily Bethesda
00:56 Game Studios' strongest game.
00:58 Without the crutch of V.A.T.S. or Vault-Tech Assisted Targeting System from the Fallout
01:03 series, the gunplay was going to have to deliver and it certainly does.
01:08 There's a huge variety of weapons and the options for customizing them further are simply
01:13 staggering.
01:14 All in all, DualShockers writes that there are some minor shortcomings in regards to
01:19 the individual character models, especially the facial animations, which seems like they're
01:24 only the best of what last-gen technology can offer.
01:28 But whatever mild disappointment they felt towards them initially, not unlike the space
01:33 travel mechanics, quickly faded into irrelevance in the face of the excellence the game accomplishes
01:41 in other areas.
