Starfield: Bethesda's ambitious RPG explores a vast universe with familiar gameplay and polished execution

As an avid fan of the Fallout games, I can't deny that exploring a post-apocalyptic wasteland teeming with ghouls and raiders can sometimes cast a gloomy shadow over the gaming experience. Starfield: Embarking on galactic adventures in Bethesda's RPG universe The allure of Starfield, however, was like a breath of fresh air, as Bethesda was set to unleash its RPG mastery on an expansive universe brimming with planets to uncover and cosmic enigmas to unravel. As a decade-old game, I emphasized social skills, much like I did in Fallout, as Starfield's combat mechanics aren't its strongest suit. Starfield's shooter mechanics, while adequate, take a back seat to its ambitious RPG elements, prompting me to invest my skill points in persuasion abilities. Bethesda's reputation for glitches doesn't reflect here – the game stands polished, though quirky occurrences persist.
