Starfield is better when you play it as a cozy game
Starfield is designed to be a million different things at the same time. It’s a sci-fi adventure story about searching the galaxy for alien artifacts, and it’s also a weird western where you can foil bank robbers and become a space sheriff. There are dogfights with space pirates, gun battles with dinosaurs, and terrifying axe battles with robot dogs. If I need some quick cash, I can board and loot enemy ships, do a little bounty hunting, or try my hand at drug-smuggling.
