Starfield is going to end the year with a Mostly Negative review rating

Starfield, one of the most eagerly anticipated video games of 2023, has polarized the gaming community. While some reviewers, including us, praised the game highly, it has become evident that the broader audience harbors several grievances. The long eight-year wait puffed up expectations to towering heights, setting the stage for various reactions.

Currently, the game is grappling with a problematic situation on Steam where recent user reviews have tipped into a 'Mostly Negative' territory. This contrasts its overall 'Mixed' rating—a signal that while some find merit in the title, many are dissatisfied.

Looking ahead, there must be more certainty about whether Starfield can reverse its fortunes. There's talk about upcoming downloadable content (DLC) and updates that might breathe new vitality into the experience; however, underlying issues persist. Many complaints center on game design choices and Bethesda's traditional RPG mechanics, which are losing their charm with players.

Only time will tell if Starfield can navigate this rough patch and revitalize its standing with the gaming community. The potential improvements with DLCs may offer a glimmer of hope, but it will take significant effort to address the deep-rooted concerns lodged against the game.
