Despite the general success of Bethesda’s newest open-world RPG, Starfield, some notable flaws have even devoted fans of the developer’s games levying heavy criticisms against it. For some Starfield players, the game is heavily lacking in terms of exploration, combat, and narrative, and can end up feeling like a shallow experience – not helped by lackluster balance when it comes to the game’s core combat systems. In particular, Starfield‘s melee weapons are a major pain point, falling heavily behind ranged options and lacking the variety and customization that other weapons get to have.
