Starfield is Genuinely Brilliant (10 months later)

In this video, I talk about Starfield and why it is genuinely brilliant. If you're a fan of sci-fi games this is a must play, and is an out-of-this-world gaming experience, one you should definitely play before the Shattered Space DLC comes out.

Let's get one thing straight, this game is far from perfect. There are a fair few things that are wrong with the game, as there are with a lot of games, and there are somethings that admittedly are flat out unacceptable in a modern day release. But in an overall sense, this is one of the most fun games I have played in a really long time. One that I would argue is quintessentially Bethesda.


To be perfectly honest, I first played this game right when it was available on game pass. As a fan of Fallout 4 (another controversial opinion I know), I figured if what bethesda was selling was a Fallout game but in space, it would be a perfectly good way of passing the time. And since it was on xbox game pass I didn’t have to spend any more money that I wasn’t already spending.

However the more I played, the more I understood that this game is a slow burn, all the things that I initially saw as boring, such as the questing just got better and better the more I played the game. Even the ship combat which I vowed I would do as little as possible at the start of my play through became so much more fun the more I progressed the game with different ships, perks, and just larger scale combat. The general combat also got more fun as I got more perks, powers and guns.

It turned out Starfield is Genuinely Brilliant!
