Starfield is Bethesda’s return to RPGs since Skyrim and Fallout 4. It is an open-world, sci-fi space exploration role-playing game that puts players in the shoes of another soul in the vastness of the universe, but a soul with a unique destiny set out for them. The game realizes its world and spacefaring fantastically. There is a lot of customization and the gunplay feels good. Taking to the stars for the first time is also quite the experience. Starfield, however, has some rather obtuse issues, like the lack of a designated map and the segues between gameplay and mechanics integration.

Starfield is Bethesda’s return to RPGs since Skyrim. And I have to say, the same feelings that I felt playing Skyrim for the first time just aren’t there. That isn’t to say that Starfield is a bad game by any stretch. The gunplay and combat feel solid. The customization is incredibly in-depth. And the spacefaring world of Starfield is fantastically realized. Once the novelty of getting into your spaceship and seeing planetside wears off, you start to see space for what it really is: a vast ocean of emptiness. True to life, Starfield bears those same voids albeit in game form.
