Starfield’s Recent Steam Reviews Drop to “Mostly Negative”

One of Bethesda’s most recent and contentious games Starfield, has been receiving a lot of negative feedback on Steam lately and it only seems to be getting worse. As of the time of writing, its official recent Steam rating has dropped to “mostly negative” with only 28% of recent reviews being positive and its overall rating still being “mixed” for now.  The player count has also notably been steadily dropping and  several players have voiced their grievances with several of the game’s features. Starfield launched in early access on September 1 and fully on September 6 for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. It is also available on Xbox Game Pass.

The game’s details via the publisher:

Starfield is the first new universe in over 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. In this next generation role-playing game set amongst the stars, create your character and explore with unparalleled freedom as you embark on an epic journey to answer humanity’s greatest mystery.

In the year 2330, humanity has ventured beyond our solar system, settling new planets, and living as a spacefaring people. You will join Constellation—the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy—and navigate the vast expanse of space in Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest and most ambitious game.

Along the way you will join in the adventures of various factions; pilot and customize your own ship; explore planets and discover their local flora, fauna, and resources; build outposts; and master a refined combat system to deal with threats of all kinds.
