Starfield’s first major expansion is finally available, but there is a feeling of disappointment among a large part of PC users: the first Steam reviews leave it in a bad light.
Almost coinciding with the first anniversary of Starfield, Shattered Space finally arrives, first expansion which is now available for Xbox Series X/S and PC. This is new content that expands the possibilities of the base game and adds a new and ambitious story.
Shattered Space takes us to House Va’ruun in the Kavnyk systema planet that was mentioned in the initial game and that we finally visit in this DLC. Its story takes place mostly in this location, which we visited after detecting an anomaly in space-time.
With a greater focus on narrative and a very elaborate level design, Shattered Space seeks to benefit from having a main location to offer more striking settings and an elaborate story; However, its reception so far on Steam has not been very enthusiastic.
Shattered Space premieres with opinions for all tastes
The enthusiasm that the Starfield DLC generates on social networks contrasts with its reception on Steam, where At the moment the balance is being mixed. The initial reviews are divided between those who believe that it makes the same mistakes as the original game and those who think that it is much superior content.
to many users They are not convinced that Shattered Space once again presents the player as “The Chosen One”a narrative choice that Bethesda has used before. But things are worse if we refer to the immersion capacity of the Starfield DLC.
“You are supposed to visit a colony isolated from the universe, but what a coincidence, they have the same parts, weapons and equipment that you can buy on the rest of the planets. And even the same coin!” says a user. Also It is noted that Andreja’s story, crucial in Starfield, does not have the slightest weight in this DLC.
The most critical also bring out their ingenuity: “It’s as deep as a serious episode of The Golden Girls.”; “You’re going to break the skip dialogue button with all the amateur chatter they’ve put in.”; o “Great news, another 100 loading screens” These are some of the most original comments.
Negativity is not the norm, because many users consider Shattered Space to be a clear improvement and which has the most brilliant Starfield narrative to date. Also They praise the care put into the new locations and the most exciting moments of gameplay.
In our analysis of Starfield we reflect that, despite not being perfect, the Bethesda Game Studios game is a colossal and exciting work, with almost unfathomable content and many technical milestones that few games have reached. And what will the future hold for him? Its creators want to continue expanding the game until it becomes a benchmark for the company.
