Thousands around the globe have dreamt for years for the day Starfield, a game by Bethesda that was teased for the first time ever in 2018, will be released. The dream finally came true when the game was finally released on September 1st in the form of early access to those who pre-ordered the premium edition of the game and had a public release on September 6th.
However, with itself, the game brought a lot of controversies, something which is now considered normal for any AAA games that have had the fortune of releasing in recent times.
A deciding factor that comes into play when it comes to whether a new game will sell well or not is the reviews and feedback of early adopters of the game that they share once it is out, and the same is the case with Bethesda’s recent Starfield release, and it is not looking good so far.

Starfield Suffers From Low Reviews In Early Stages
There is no doubt that Starfield is a vast game in itself, which should come as no surprise considering the fact that the studio started its development nearly a decade ago. However, the same might become a problem for Bethesda as early reviewers reveal the game feels not worth it at the start.
Despite what the early reviewers might say, many players have started advising others to actually stick around for at least 5–6 hours to get a grasp of the game correctly, instead of being prejudiced against it. This is something that should have been obvious from day one, as the game itself is claimed to be 30 to 40 hours long storywise, with unlimited potential for more.
Users On Reddit Defend Starfield Against Early Reviews
Following the same, many users on the Starfield subreddit put forward their own opinions regarding the matter. Many claim the game to be a hidden gem and something that gets better as you spend more time with it.
A user even went to the lengths to explain and say, “It’s only after 5-6 hours that I started really enjoying myself. Let me put it this way, for the first time now I’m thinking about the game when I’m not playing it. It wasn’t like that at all the first day I played it.”
The game in itself is boundless, where the only limit is your own imagination. While the story might be only 30 to 40 hours, there are nearly a thousand planets a player can discover and explore, and Bethesda was graceful enough to provide modders with the option of adding their own planets to the game, making it limitless.
