This year’s iteration of Geoff Keighley’s Gamescom is currently underway. The opening night showcased massive names such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Tekken 8,and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. However, one that really caught the eye was Starfield.

Earlier, Bethesda had given out keys to the game to game critics to analyze. And the critics dropped some favorable reviews. The actual test of the game remains against the general public’s assessments. However, Bethesda does not need to be concerned based on the crowd reaction at Gamescom 2023.

Starfield received staggering reviews from the Gamescom 2023 audience

Starfield had its very own presentation at Gamescom 2023 hosted by game director Todd Howard. The presentation also contained never-seen-before gameplay of the title for the fans present in the audience. Now industry insider Karim Jovian has ensembled the thoughts of the fans on the Starfield gameplay.

Jovian shared that the 30-minute gameplay shown to the fans was actually an edited version of the first two hours of the game. This 30-minute gameplay experience was enough to mesmerize the fans present, with many praising the look of the game. The fans were in awe of the scenery and lighting present in the game.

However, the main critique shared by the fans was about the faces looking outdated. However, the helmets masked this blemish of the game. Fans loved Starfield’s sound effects and soundtrack too. Furthermore, the title’s voice performances garnered a lot of praise.
