Starfield
Starfield, a 2023 action role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios, invites players to join a group of space explorers on a mission to collect mysterious artifacts scattered across the Milky Way galaxy. This open-world game combines fictional and real planetary systems, featuring procedurally generated surfaces for most planets.
It marks Bethesda's first new intellectual property in 25 years, described by director Todd Howard as "Skyrim in space." The game, developed using a modified Creation Engine, began active development after Fallout 4's 2015 release. Despite multiple delays since its 2018 announcement, Starfield launched on September 6, 2023, for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
Reviews praised the game's open world, captivating setting, and soundtrack, but opinions on the story and exploration were mixed. While commercially successful, player reactions varied, showcasing a range of opinions on this ambitious space adventure.
