David Jaffe is regarded as the creator of God of War. Now, the 52-year-old commented on Starfield and praised the role-playing game despite criticism.
Bethesda’s latest role-playing game Starfield celebrates its release today, but buyers of the Premium Edition were already able to play Starfield 5 days earlier during the early access launch and form an opinion about the sci-fi epic.
Creator of “God of War” David Jaffe has already spent several hours in Starfield and is visibly excited about the game.
Who is it about?
- David Jaffe is a 52-year-old game designer from the USA, known as the creator of God of War, who launched the game series on the PlayStation 2 in 2005.
- In addition to God of War, Jaffe also created the racing game series Twisted Metal, which received a TV series in summer 2023.
- Currently, Jaffe is not involved in game development. He also did not work on the fan-favorite new GoW installments for PS4 and PS5.
Recently, Jaffe has repeatedly made headlines with statements about successful games such as the latest “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)” and received severe criticism for it. He initially criticized the graphics of Zelda: TotK, before he wrote in a Twitter post that he had the game fixed by an AI.
What does Jaffe say about Starfield? In recent days, Jaffe shared some thoughts on Starfield on Twitter. The 52-year-old did criticize the graphics and loading times on Xbox Series X (via Twitter), but emphasized in further posts that he loves the role-playing game after almost 20 hours of gameplay (via Twitter).
In another post on Twitter, Jaffe added that anyone who loves games should try Starfield. It is “casually” one of his “top 3 games of all time”.
A great game is a great game. I say that because if you also love games and don’t have an XBOX, you owe it to yourself to get a Game Pass for a month and try Starfield (even if you only use the cloud). It’s simply one of my top 3 games of all time.

How should Jaffe’s statements be interpreted? Jaffe’s statements are very positive when considering his criticism of Zelda, which has been generally highly praised.
Many players praise Bethesda’s latest role-playing game but criticize certain aspects of the title, such as the reliance on fast travel, loading times, and the sluggish intro.
Starfield appears in many reviews as a game that can be fun, but is not perfect and may suffer from high expectations.
