Playing Starfield - First Impressions of the game

On 31 August, Daniel paid about £189/$200 for Starfield’s premium access, then battled overheating, low FPS, audio, and controller problems. He rated it 2–6.2/10, criticizing bland visuals, loading screens, weak combat, bugs, and inferiority to No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk. He chose a theft-focused female Cyber Runner, completed the opening and Vanguard exam, deferred enlistment, then repeatedly died on missions.

Expensive purchase, rapid disillusionment, and monetization pressure again shape his gaming review expectations.
