Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

A lot of people seem to love it and reviews are excellent, if that is subpar then we are getting some damn good games lately.

Gaming "journalism" is shoddy, low quality, biased, and untrustworthy. Every bad game coming out of a big studio will get dozens of 10/10s. Not even talking about starfield, but just every botched release.

Using gamer news or review outlets as a source is useless.

The people that are saying good things about it seem to be people that don't play that many non-betheada RPGs so don't have anything to compare it to, or are just excited for a space theme. People that are playing high quality RPGs like persona 5 or baldurs gate are not happy with starfield
