I was SO wrong about Starfield - AMAZING Game

After 20–40 hours, Daniel reverses his initial judgment, raising Starfield from 6.2 to 7.2/10 as side activities grow on him. He prioritizes self-directed goals—mortgage repayment, pistol upgrades, shipbuilding, boarding, looting, and selling captured ships—over rushing the main story. He accepts loading screens, shallow combat, bugs, and overhype, arguing patience, dialogue, settlements, mods, and patches may make it special.

Skepticism gives way to enthusiastic, agency-driven investment and a possible 1,000-hour first playthrough.
