Keep your expectations in check with Starfield, I was sure I was going to love it but dropped it after 25hrs, it’s not very alive or entrancing imho. However I am confident in the narrative-centered game design from Machine Games to be sure I’d enjoy this Indiana Jones
Not even sure why I’m hoping for it as I barely have time to play anything anymore. What with kids, I game maybe 3 hours a week total. 25 hours in a game isn’t something I’ve done in a long time. Been buying a lot of short games because of this now. Very much enjoying Radiolight at the moment for instance, even though you can tell it’s built off an asset store. One of the character models didn’t fit in at all 😂.
And this is why I got hooked on roguelites. Hades, Spelunky, FTL, Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire, Crypt of the Necro Dancer, Rogue Legacy, Dome Keeper, Runestone Keeper. There’s probably so much more out there.
Starfield got a lot of hate, some of it well deserved, but I still enjoyed my time with it. I put maybe 60 hours into it, which to me is a long time for a game, so maybe my expectations are low, but I’ve got a family now so I don’t have the time I used to for video games. I’ll probably replay Starfield in the next couple years. It’s not a perfect RPG by a long shot but if you’re okay with a mostly linear game, and don’t mind loading screens, I’d say it’s worth it. It sort of reminded me of Fallout 4 a bit, in that the gameplay is well polished, but for an RPG it’s quite linear, only a couple good side quests (factions mainly) and most of the effort was put into a few aspects while lots of the world feels a little empty. Starfield takes it a bit further than Fallout 4, and I’d say Fallout 4 is a better game than Starfield, but you get the idea.

Was not expecting this so soon after launch. Wonder if we’ll see more newer Bethesda titles soon. I’d love to play Starfield.
