It seems fair to say that Starfield has had a pretty strange reception. Released back in September, Starfield received some extremely mixed reviews overall, from both critics and general audiences. While some fans loved the Sci-Fi setting, overarching story, integration of new game plus, and the swathe of new gameplay mechanics, many fans felt as though Starfield was actually a tad disappointing, showing that Bethesda's usual RPG formula is definitely a bit outdated now.
