Complete Review
In this review I have a play time of -+ 60 hours and it's still not finished, which I think is enough to review this game thoroughly. Please note that this is a game with the Starfield: Premium Edition version, there could be differences with the non-premium version.

Multiple Choice Review (Part 1)

Graphics
☑ Masterpiece
☐ Beautiful
☐ Good
☐ Decent
☐ Bad
☐ Don‘t look too long at it
☐ MS-DOS
*Why did I choose the masterpiece category? because of several games that are set in outer space such as no man sky, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™, Destiny 2, some of these games have graphics that are much better and far below, but considering that this game is open world like Skyrim the graphics are amazing Usually, like Red Dead Redemption 2, the size of this game will increase 2x.

Gameplay
☐ Very good
☑ Good
☐ It's just gameplay
☐ Mehh
☐ Watch paint dry instead
☐ Just don't
*In terms of gameplay, I give it a good rating, because basically this game shoots and uses skills like Skyrim, and is not as cool as Baldur's Gate 3, this game is a marriage between Skyrim and Fallout 4, with an annoying picklock and weight system

Audio
☐ Eargasm
☑ Very good
☐ Good
☐ Not too bad
☐ Bad
☐ I'm now deaf
*In terms of audio, such as chat, sound effects, etc., this game is quite realistic and doesn't look generic or repetitive

Music
☑ Masterpiece
☐ Very good
☐ Good
☐ Not too bad
☐ Bad
☐ I'm now deaf
*As my friend said, Bethesda never disappoints in making music in its games and according to the theme of the game, thank you Inon Zur

Audience
☐ Kids
☑ Teens
☑ Adults
⚠️ Student
⚠️ Worker
☐ Grandma
*Considering that this game has just been released, the target audience is quite diverse, especially young people and adults. Considering the gameplay requires you to grid to earn money and get legendary weapons, requiring you to have a lot of free time, it is not recommended for workers and students who have many responsibilities

PC Requirements
☐ Check if you can run paint
☐ Potato
☐ Decent
☐ Fast
☐ Rich boi
☑ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer
*You need at least a computer with the best requirements at the moment 8 October 2023 to play Starfield, considering their map is very large and real time between planets and planes, making the game require an extraordinary amount of computer power, I also play on a laptop, considering the price of VGA RTX still not worth my money

Difficulty
☐ Just press 'W'
☑ Easy
☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master
☐ Significant brain usage
☐ Difficult
☐ Dark Souls
*For the difficulty level, you can change it at will from very easy to very hard, my recommendation is very hard because the more difficult it is the probability of getting legendary weapons and big money becomes higher, and what I hate is the picklock and weight system

Grind
☐ Nothing to grind
☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks
☐ Isn't necessary to progress
☐ Average grind level
☑ Too much grind
☐ You'll need a second life for grinding
*In this game you are required to do as much grinding as possible, considering that the prices for upgrading planes, bullets, medicine and so on are not cheap. In my case, I am no longer looking for money but rather looking for magazines to reduce or increase stats on my character

Story
☐ No Story
☐ Some lore
☐ Average
☐ Good
☑ Lovely
☐ It'll replace your life
*Beginning of the story is very boring, although it's quite good to follow, even though it's not as exciting as the heart-wrenching story of Red Dead Redemption 2, this game tells a generic story from zero to hero but it happens so fast, you forget you've gone through it.

Gameplay Time
☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee (0 - 3 hours)
☐ Short (3 - 15 hours)
☐ Average (15-50 hours)
☑ Long (50-100 hours)
☑ Extremely long (100-200 hours)
☐ To infinity and beyond
*Because this game carries the concept of a multiverse, where when you start playing a new game, several components are carried over from the previous game. Actually, the duration you need to play this game depends on how bored you are with this game, maybe I would stop at 200-400 hours.

Fun
☐ I'd rather watch paint dry
☐ Hard to enjoy
☐ Repetitive
☐ Actually pretty amusing
☑ Ride of your life
*In my first 50 hours, it was quite fun to play because I really like games with a space background and it felt like I had a family on board, I finally understood what Luffy felt from the One Piece anime series.

Price
☐ It's free!
☑ Worth the price (If you rich)
☑ If it's on sale (If you don’t have lot of money)
☐ If u have some spare money left
☐ Not recommended
☐ You could also just burn your money
*Price given for Starfield is quite in line with Bethesda's hard work in providing a breakthrough new game with a space theme where the dream is to wage war between spaceships, but quite a few of the prices given are too expensive, so save it, support the kind developer unlike EA which is greedy for profits and prioritizes gacha, this is a fun offline game, unlike EA games which are already expensive and in the game there is still a microstansaction system. WORTH IT!

Bugs
☐ Never heard of
☑ Minor bugs
☐ Can get annoying
☐ Cyberpunk 2077 V1.0 (First day release)
☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs
*I think there are still a lot of bugs in this game. However, it doesn't bother you much while you are playing

Replayability
☐ It's a one-time experience
☐ Only for achievements
☐ If you wait a few months/years
☑ Definitely
☑ Infinitely replayable (Because multiverse purpose)
*Considering this game is very long, I won't play it 2-3 times, if Bethesda releases a DLC expansion pack for the story and generic additions to the outpost and is suitable for exploration, then I will play it again.

Expectations
☐ It's a completely different game
☐ This game is a scam
☐ It's missing many features they announced
☑ Looks very similar to the steam page (The steam page screenshots look better than the actual game!)
☐ Better than expected and/or announced
☐ Masterpiece, no patch or feature has to be added.
*Seeing how long it took to develop this game, Bethesda at least didn't cheat its fans with graphics and visuals like what happened to greedy developer EA with its Anthem game. Bethesda has at least been able to meet gamers' expectations regarding the space game they created

Explanation Pros & Cons (Part 2)

Pros, you must buy this game
• You like Bethesda games and support AAA games that have big budgets with extraordinary stories without the frills of microtransactions and battle pass
• Likes games with a space theme, imagining space battles with ships like Star Wars that can't be executed by EA's greedy developers
• Like very long exploration games with a zero to hero scheme, helping lots of people and traveling on every planet to explore and help lots of people
• If you have enough money to buy this game, you can play it in the crack version, but to appreciate the hard work of developers who are still making games like this during the onslaught of Gacha games and microtransactions so that games like this don't become extinct and can still be played by our grandchildren

Cons, dont buy this game
• If you have computer specifications that were purchased at least under 2020, this game is very heavy. I just played this game with "Low" settings but I still experienced lag at some times
• If you are a straight to the point type of gamer, then you are not suited to this game, because if you only play the main mission, then this game only lasts 3-7 hours, side or hidden missions are highly recommended to be played while exploring planets that have not yet been visited.

Conclusion (Part 3)
My Final Rating
9.2/10
Very good game, recomended & worh it to buy if you have money
