Starfield is a bad game because people want it to be a bad game. I read a negative Steam review that complained about the estimated 150 hours of the story were too short. One hundred and fifty hours. In the same amount of time you probably can complete Cyberpunk and The Witcher back to back.

Of course Starfield is far from being a perfect game. But some players' expectations can't be distinguished from entitlement anymore. To quote a movie title, they want "everything, everywhere, all at once". And yes, then Starfield must be bad.

I on the other hand really do enjoy it.

I think you're comparing a 100% playthrough of Starfield to rushing through the main quest of those other two

No I don't. I had 100 hours in The Witcher including all three expansions and I think that's not what could be called "rushed".

In Starfield I'm currently at 90 hours and just built my first outpost and a decent ship. I don't know where I'm in the main quest but I've aquired only three powers and artifacts so far.
