Starfield vs Fallout 4

​

From Fallout 3 to The Elder Scrolls 6: Skyrim, Bethesda games have always been famous for being the longest-running RPGs in history, thanks to the enormous amount of content. In this regard, Starfield is certainly no exception and the game has a lot for players to explore. From joining the cunning Crimson Fleet to engaging in dogfights in the farthest corners of the galaxy, each player’s experience will likely be completely unique. This means that the amount of time each player spends in Starfield will likely vary widely depending on how much content they choose to interact with in the game, but the main story will be a little easier to follow.

Although Starfield has an impressive scale, players will be surprised to know that by ignoring the content and side activities, they can beat the game quickly. When fully focused on the main campaign, Starfield can be finished in less than 20 hours. This makes Starfield one of Bethesda’s shortest games, a rather surprising fact considering the over 1,000 planets present in the game. However, it’s worth noting that aside from speedrunners, very few players want to rush to complete Starfield. For completionists or those looking for a good mix of main and secondary content, Bethesda’s new game can offer between 50 and 200 hours of gameplay.

Time needed to complete Starfield main story: 20 hours
Time to complete all Starfield content: 50-200+ hours

Time needed to complete Fallout 4 main story: 30 hours
Time to complete all Fallout 4 content: 100+ hours

Fallout 4 proved to be one of Bethesda’s best titles upon its release in 2015. The game introduced the gritty, post-apocalyptic world of the Commonwealth. Fallout 4 builds on the success of Fallout 3 and creates an engaging and richly detailed experience. Even if they only focus on the main story, players will need around 30 hours to complete the campaign.

Players are still learning the many unsolved mysteries of Starfield. Some people have criticized the size of the game, commenting that some planets are too barren and uninteresting, but this is the part of the experience that shows a vast and lonely universe. The developer has managed to create an RPG that brings players closer to experiencing life in space.
