Although it didn’t quite match the popularity of titles like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls, Starfield was still an incredibly enjoyable game for me in 2023. In fact, I found Bethesda’s open-world sci-fi RPG to be among my top favorites that year. I immersed myself in it, finishing every faction quest and spending countless hours exploring the cosmos with my team aboard my customized spaceship. To me, Starfield beautifully encapsulated the magic of science fiction, a feat few other games have managed. Naturally, I’ve been eager to revisit its universe since the release of the Shattered Space expansion. However, it must be said that Shattered Space didn’t quite reach the heights of Starfield’s greatness.
