Starfield: Bethesda's Best Yet, But Not for Everyone

Oct 03, 2024 10:44 AM

Bethesda's design director Emil Pagliarulo claims that Starfield is "in a lot of ways, the best game we've ever made," recognizing its innovative approach, despite acknowledging that it may not appeal to everyone. With the recent release of the Shattered DLC, players can delve deeper into the game's intriguing factions. Pagliarulo describes Starfield as a technical achievement, aiming to provide a distinct RPG experience compared to Bethesda's iconic franchises, Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

What makes Starfield different from other Bethesda games?

Starfield stands out because it is a brand new IP crafted from the ground up, blending an immersive space simulation with action and RPG elements. This combination results in a unique experience on consoles that differs from Bethesda's other well-known games.

Starfield, released on Xbox Series X/S and PC, marks Bethesda Game Studios' foray into space exploration RPGs. The game has been met with mixed reviews but is praised for its expansive universe and potential for rich storytelling. With the Shattered Space DLC, the game continues to expand its narrative depth and gameplay options for players, solidifying its place in Bethesda's esteemed portfolio.
