Eurogamer's review of Starfield, a game of typical Bethesda aptitude but without the magic that binds it all together.

The biggest letdown is the big continuous handcrafted open world is not there. In Skyrim you could walk from one end of the map to the other, encountering various handcrafted things and random events along the way, as well as NPCs on their daily routines. There really is no equivalent in Starfield. Still a great game, just not a sim and without a big seamless open world.

Yep, good points, it just feels… predictable

Maybe I didn’t pay attention, but I expected The Expanse (the game), where my ragtag of space murder hobos go from colony to colony doing quests a la Mass Effect and having space combat like in the show/books.

In contrast, we have the same “planes but not planes” in space that you need to first lower their shields then destroy the hull like in most space games.
