Starfield Commentary

One of the most highly anticipated releases of 2023. Upon launch, most critics praise the game and gave Starfield 8s and 9s. However, the largest publishers IGN and Gamespot gave Starfield a 7. They cited weak storyline, weak space travel, empty worlds and lacking RPG elements as the reason for a lower score. Those that prefer the game cited solid combat, long hours of playtime and large universe to explore. What also help the score is that many players on social media enjoyed the game, where a few agreed with IGN. Many speculate the success of Xbox depends on the outcome of Starfield, as the console struggles in the exclusive games department. Franchises such as Halo and Gears of War are on it's fifth installments, and are becoming stale to the market. As Microsoft scramble to acquire prestigious developers, Bethesda is one of the gigantic companies that was controversially snagged by Microsoft.
