Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time (lemmy.world)

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC's released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the past. Some of the reviews sum up quite nicely what is wrong with this DLC....

Less content than any skyrim DLC. Less than The Fallout 4 story DLCs. Doesn't change of the complaints people had with the base game, writing is still at a 4th grade level.

Quick: If you are looking to buy my answer is no, you aren't missing much content. I was really hoping to enjoy this DLC. Took about 4 hours for the main story and maybe 2 more hours to 100% the achievements.

These two reviews I think really summed up what Starfield has become, $70 for an AAAA title that has extremely little buy-in from the community, horrifically low amount of replayability and can be breezed through easily. It's mind-boggling to see this

It's pretty legit. It stands on it's own, and they also improved the base game quite a bit. I'd suggest it for sure

I was having fun, despite the flaws at launch. I'm sure with improvements and more content it'll be a great one to revisit.

Phantom Liberty is a great expansion in its own right, combined with the 2.0 changes just made the entire experience better.

Oh trust me, I had a decent time playing it. I played through it 100%, did all the side stuff, did the base building - everything. But, I still felt annoyed and bored a good chunk of the time. The game was fine. But it was only fine. I wouldn't say it was revolutionary or anything Bethesda said, it was just.... fine.
