Ahead of the highly anticipated release of the new science fiction video game, Starfield from Bethesda, the gaming giant's chief, Todd Howard, announced that the game boasts more than 1,000 explorable planets. This revelation caused a significant stir amongst fans, with many questioning the feasibility of such a massive undertaking. Bethesda explained that they used procedural generation to create these worlds, meaning most of them weren't manually designed by the developers. Only 10% of Starfield’s planets contain life, according to Howard.

Upon the game's release, an ardent player, known as DoomZero on Reddit, decided to visit every single one of these planets. DoomZero managed to fully survey a staggering 1,694 of these planets, a monumental effort that involved identifying a planet's unique traits, cataloguing flora and fauna, and more. It was a challenge that took approximately 180 out of his 200 hours spent playing the game.

Despite encountering some bugs, DoomZero asserted the game continues to maintain a sense of excitement and wonder throughout, with every planet visit offering diverse biomes, lifeforms and points of interest. This player's experience certainly lived up to Todd Howard's vision for the game, allowing DoomZero to "feel small" amidst the overwhelming vastness of space.

Yet, despite having completed this breath-taking exploration, DoomZero admits there's still more to do within the game. With an array of quests and other activities left to complete, this Starfield player plans to continue venturing into their virtual galaxy, experiencing the game in a more traditional way.
