This Space War Video of Starfield Might Just Change Your Mind About the Game

Bethesda’s Xbox-exclusive sci-fi giant was supposed to be their long-awaited prodigy. But just few months post its launch, Starfield still remains as a case of ‘what could have been. The launch of Starfield and the anticipation in the build up to its launch was all the gaming community could talk about. However, the reception to the game narrated a different story. The game was perceived as ‘underwhelming.’ But maybe there is hope after all.

From innovative space engineering features to the massive open world, Starfield tried everything. Unfortunately, it failed to live up to expectations. Some anticipated it to be a GOTY contender, but it wasn’t even nominated. In fact, the player base count recorded a massive drop lately. But it looks like the tables might turn soon. Courtesy of a ‘Space War’ in the open -world, players are once again saying good things about the game.

Starfield player is impressed to witness an ‘all-out Space War’ in the game 

Imagine being stuck in an all-out space war between major space travel factions. Sounds like a treat for action lovers traveling in the never-ending cosmos. For some, this may also seem like a ‘Star Wars’ pitch. Well, a Reddit user has shared a snippet of experiencing a grand-scale war between galactic empires from Bethesda’s Starfield!

“I jumped to the Deimos Station to sign up for a job on Cydonia and it looks like all the factions had started an all-out war. I spent ages quietly flying from wreckage to wreckage picking up the debris salvage and maxed out my cargo which started as empty (4700),” the user explained. Furthermore, the player added how the combat went on for a very long time, even with the player exiting Deimos.

Such visuals inviting attention on the web do imply that there’s a lot left unexplored in the open-world territory. So, a space-scale combat does help to the appeal. Would it be enough? Considering the ‘mostly negative’ reviews for Starfield, there’s still a long way to go.

The story of ‘Mostly Negative’ Steam reviews 

For a game that was already declared a GOTY contender before its launch, and was being hailed as the next big revolution of gaming, the campaign has seemingly failed to deliver. The game received mostly positive critical reception. Further, in its early months, it even managed to get over a million concurrent players. Yet, on Steam, it has mostly negative recent reviews.

At the time of this writing, the Starfield Steam page has garnered around 7,151 reviews from players. From these figures, only 29% are positive. As a result, the sci-fi exploration’s Steam page is at its lowest point in the campaign. To put it plainly, Starfield is currently receiving “mostly negative reviews.”
