Starfield’s Steam rating has declined to the point where it is currently ranked lower than Duke Nukem Forever. The latest RPG from Bethesda faced some tough competition from the studio’s earlier titles, receiving a lower rating on Steam compared to iconic games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and The Elder Scrolls Oblivion. While it’s not surprising to see these classics at the top of the list, what is surprising is that, based on recent Steam user reviews, Starfield is now slightly less favorably rated than the infamous 3D Realms and Gearbox shooter from 2011.
Despite this rating, Starfield still maintains its popularity on Steam, with over 28,000 players in the past 24 hours, as of the latest figures.
As of today, Wednesday, November 8, according to data from Steam DB, Starfield’s Steam rating stands at a decent but not outstanding 67.24%, based on over 100,000 user reviews. Duke Nukem Forever, on the other hand, has a rating of 67.27%, based on 9,000 reviews.
Duke Nukem Forever, after years of anticipation and a long development cycle, received criticism for its outdated design and awkward gameplay mechanics. It was considered a significant disappointment due to the extended wait for its release. However, recent reviews for Duke Nukem Forever are generally ‘mostly positive,’ suggesting a possible change in opinion for the once-maligned FPS. In contrast, Starfield’s recent Steam reviews are ‘mixed.’
Nonetheless, Starfield attracted over ten million players in its first three weeks of release, making it the most significant game launch in Bethesda’s history. While the game’s ranking on the Steam sales chart declined in October and was surpassed by Fallout 76, it remains a popular title despite its rocky launch in 2018.
