Bethesda’s upcoming IP, Starfield, has become one of the most highly anticipated games of the year, generating a wave of excitement within the gaming community. Promising an expansive open-world sci-fi adventure with innovative mechanics, Starfield aims to offer a unique experience that sets it apart from other titles in the genre.

While a large group of fans eagerly awaits the game’s release, there are always individuals ready to pour hate onto highly anticipated titles, even before they are available to the public. One such individual has gone to the extent of crafting a fake negative review on a reputable site, attempting to spread misconceptions about Starfield.

Following Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct, where more information and gameplay footage was revealed, the game quickly climbed the Steam sales charts. 

This positive response from fans, who may have been apprehensive after the lackluster release of Redfall earlier this year (both titles falling under the Microsoft umbrella), further solidifies Starfield’s position as a highly anticipated title.

A user by the name of Joppsta360 on Metacritic wrote a review for the game Starfield in which he created out on what can only be characterized as a tantrum against Bethesda and its executive producer, Todd Howard. 

However, the authenticity of this review remains uncertain, as it is unclear whether Joppsta360 has actually played the game or if their motives are based on personal bias. It is also worth mentioning that this user has left similar negative reviews for other highly anticipated games such as Diablo 4, rating each title with a score of zero.
