Years later, Starfield tops the US sales chart again, but all is not as rosy as it seems

Starfield has topped the US sales chart again following its release on PlayStation 5, marking its second time leading sales since its initial launch.

Analysts suggest the game may have barely broken even on its decade-long development cycle.

Review – Starfield (PlayStation 5)

This review of Starfield on PlayStation 5 notes that while the game offers a decent story and RPG elements reminiscent of other Bethesda titles like Skyrim and Fallout, it falls short as a deep space exploration experience. The controls and menus can be clunky, and while combat is fun, enemy variety is lacking. Despite its vast universe, many planets feel repetitive, and the novelty of exploration wears off, making the main quest and faction quests the primary drivers.
