Starfield's User Reviews on Steam Fall to 'Mostly Negative'

Despite initial success, Bethesda's latest RPG faces criticism from players, with many negative reviews coming from those who have spent significant time in the game.

Starfield, Bethesda's latest space RPG, has seen its user reviews on Steam fall to 'Mostly Negative', with many of the negative reviews coming from players who have spent over 100 hours in the game.
Players have criticized the game for being boring, uninspired, and generally unfinished, with many comparing it unfavorably to other recent RPG successes such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3.
Despite the negative reviews, Bethesda has not abandoned Starfield, with around 250 employees reportedly still working on the game and planning regular updates in 2024.
Starfield was launched in September 2023 and initially received positive reviews, but the sentiment has shifted over time, with the game now being one of the worst-rated in Bethesda's portfolio on Steam.
Starfield's overall user score on Steam is still considered 'Mixed' when taking into account all reviews that have been made, but the 'Mostly Negative' rating is associated with reviews that have been logged recently.
