Well, Starfield did one thing well
It made me reinstall The Outer Worlds, which is a better game in nearly every way that matters
don't forget to also try The Outer Wilds in solidarity for two space games having the same fuckin name coming out at pretty much the same time and making it almost impossible to discuss them without people confusing one for the other
it fucking slaaps
Best space game
except for the part where it shoves horseshoe theory at your face
"supporting revolutionaries is still le bad if not worse, better to rot under kkkorporate kkkapitalism"
Personally, the writing in Starfield is merely bland but the Outer Worlds is actively annoying. Star field does the bare minimum to get me from quest marker A to B. The Outer Worlds does the equivalent of cracking a knock knock joke and then pausing to wait for me to applaud.
That's because Starfield actively tries too be as inoffensive as possible to as many groups of people as possible. It is truly distilled corporate blandness.
As a result of this it has literally nothing to say, no story, no conflict, no message, no art. It is background music to a television life insurance ad, entirely forgettable.
Yeah I agree. Starfield is a peice of toast I have in the morning while groggy from sleep - bland and utterly forgettable. Outer Worlds is the slice of toast someone slathered with hot sauce as a "hilarious" April Fool's joke. I'll remember the latter, but I'd much rather eat the former again.
It also set a bar low enough that if Star Citizen were to somehow come out in this decade it would be guaranteed a positive comparison
