It seems like for some games, you wait for forever. You hear the announcement for a new Bethesda game and you’re intrigued because you’ve played Bethesda games before. The game is called Starfield and takes place in space; Elder Scrolls in space you think, sounds pretty ambitious. Ambitious it is, as you wait and wait, and slowly Starfield tidbits are fed to you to keep your anticipation alive.
Many planets to explore, space missions, Xbox exclusivity (okay maybe not that one) and….it’s delayed?! Patience though, they are fine tuning it, making sure the game meets your high expectations.
Trailers make it look awesome, Game Pass makes it easier to play, and the release date draws nearer, and nearer. Suddenly it’s out, you play it, it’s amazing, critics mostly agree with you, and then the internet bombs your beloved Starfield game with garbage opinions.
How the Newly Released Starfield Has Been Bombed With Bad Reviews
Starfield only officially released two days ago on September 6, with exceptions for anyone who pre-ordered the title and were given a few days head start. The general reactions were pretty positive for the most part. Starfield has the fewest bugs for a Bethesda launch in a long time.
The only legit criticism that seems to be levied at the game has to do with the multiple hidden loading screen animations. Go figure a large game has been made even longer by animated landings.

Recently the all too familiar and all too immature trend of review bombing has invaded the internet to deliver Starfield a KO – punch down. The ratings on Metacritic have had a noticeable decline, due to an online mob of bitter trolls who either don’t own an Xbox and are suffering gaming FOMO, or spoiled youth who struggle to understand that games of this immense size require limitations.
The title runs at about 30 FPS, which might not quite match the expectations that all games should be at the peak of technology in optimal conditions.
Hateful reviews came with various well thought out observational gems such as: “this is the worst game ever” and “loading screen simulator, don’t play.” Naturally this negative movement over the newly released Starfield has started an opposite reactionary rebuttal on the internet, from gamers who do enjoy the title and are having their experience marred by such simple misplaced reviews.
Many new reviews are being put out to reverse the dropping score with an attempted Starfield glow up. This is making for a bit of review war over a game, which is free to play for Game Pass members and free to ignore for everyone who isn’t actually interested.
