Raz Review: "Finally! An FPS with seamless RPG elements that keep the
gameplay fresh and interesting, AND a compelling story. It has some
very close ties to System Shock, a cult classic PC game. Placed in the
past instead of the future (circa 1959), you wander an underwater Art
Deco dystopia rife with corruption, greed, deception, amorality and
violence.
I won't spoil the game for you (since you absolutely
must go out and get it), but suffice to say genetic engineering is key.
There are so many facets to gameplay, including but not limited to
inventing your own ammo and upgrades, and making moral choices that
affect the course of the plot.
This in no way detracts from
the simple pleasure of unloading two rounds of buckshot into a
Splicer's occipital lobe, or using a gene-altering Plasmid to set him
on fire with pyrokinesis (whereupon he'll run around screaming and
setting other things on fire - great fun). Your genetic superpowers
aren't just for killing stuff, though; as with System Shock, there are
puzzles and secrets that can only be unlocked with certain abilities.
Also, in any given encounter, there's generally a number of ways to
approach the situation depending on your upgrades and disposition -
that's the sort of flexibility that makes for maximum replay value.
You'll
laugh, you'll cry, you'll jump, you'll shake your head in disbelief.
Most of all - you'll come away from it profoundly disturbed and
questioning the moral structure of society.
That's what I love
about games like this; they actually get you thinking beyond the game
itself. Ok, enough reviewing - go and get this game. Now. Right now."

No , turns out Marathon is a good game, Starfield sucks no matter how you spin it. Mister alt account guy is a 🤡
I can’t wait to not buy Vanillafield on my Ps5 Pro
Saros check ✅
Pragmata check ✅
Yes! I played Starfield on my Series X & the game is mediocre at best. Anyone that solely owns a PS5 & have an interest to play Starfield they really should wait until Black Fiday when the game will be cheap to buy, Starfield is not worth buying at retail price. Definitely buying Saros & Pragmata.
Your fellow PlayStation gamers disagree. You are in the minority
They are out buying it in bulk - more than SAROS
Of course some PS players wanted it they just didn't want to spend their money on an irrelevant platform (not even the slop & cheap series S) when they knew it was a matter of time before Lord Phil release it on PS.
There's been some revisionism discourse about Starfield that when it was first released its reviews suffered from the 'Xbox tax,' the perceived negative coverage of it by the games media and public angry that it was not getting a release on PlayStation. And now that it is being released on PS5 is the reason so many on enthusiastic about it - however, that's not exactly what happened is it!
When Starfield was first released the game did receive negative coverage - but this was from predominantly Xbox websites and Xbox-focused content creators who felt the game did not deliver on what was advertised. Mr Matty Plays made his channel and his name covering Bethesda games on Xbox and he was one of many who felt deflated after playing the game and was critical of it.
When you've got Bethesda itself and its studio head Todd Head acknowledge the issues then claims of an 'Xbox tax' are juvenile! To address the issues that Xbox and PC players had is why the Free Lanes update has been built. Now original players who got to play it when it first released and who want to play it again can with the improvements, and new PS5 players can play the optimised and improved version complete with the PS5 features added. Everybody wins.
While yes, negative coverage did come from XB sites/creators... it was also heavily perpetuated by PS fans who were upset about the situation, and embellished the poor reception even more...... It happens.
What also happens is those who are initially upset at the lack of a release will also change their tune when it finally does come to fruition. We will see once the game releases, and in a much better state thanks to more time to fix and refine.
Everything deserves a second chance, if people are open to giving it.
Main audience criticising Starfield was PC players and people who were already critical of Bethesda's direction.
🤣 obscured is proudly supporting a FORMER EXCLUSIVE going to PlayStation ad doing well as we knew would before Microsoft bought it 🤣, he dream of Microsoft games becoming exclusive once again after the investors tasted the 3RD PARTY massive money push 🤣.
After Death Stranding 2, Metal Gear Solid Delta and Ghost of Yōtei been covering my past 9 months taking my time in extended playthroughs, Starfield for me personally doesn't come at the right point in time anymore. 2026 is packed.
Second of all, since Bethesda developed it multiplatform, then it got bought, then it went exclusive, then it failed to accelerate Xbox, then Microsoft pulled the plug and are now asking for money - I renounce gladly. I actually always do with Microsoft products.
I applaud Bethesda for enhancing the game on PS5, and a bit further on PS5 Pro. But I have my principles regarding Microsoft.
