While Starfield has many fans, it's clear that it's not everyone's cup of tea. Recent Steam reviews of Starfield are mostly negative, indicating that a significant portion of Bethesda's fanbase is disappointed with its new title. It could very well prove to be a redemption story, as Bethesda's continued support and release of DLC of the game could improve its current reputation, but it's certainly not where the game would ideally be right now. Under it all, the good and the bad, there is a key throughline however: Starfield does not feel like a 2023 game and doesn't live up to the anticipation set after games like Skyrim. This very real shadow also hangs over another hotly-anticipated title, perhaps the most anticipated video game ever, Grand Theft Auto 6.
