When the review embargo first dropped, Starfield was sitting at something like an 88 on Xbox and an 89 on PC. Not 90+ the way I think Bethesda may have been hoping, and yet still extremely good.

I'm loving starfield and I'll agree with this. It's a mid eighties score kind of game. If it's what you want it's amazing, but the people calling it game of the century and whatnot are buying their own hype.

On the other hand, it's likely to have serious staying power as an all time classic game, Bethesda is great at that and there's a ton of room for people to use it as an incredible mod canvas. I don't think that should affect launch reviews though.
