Why It Matters
There's plenty of magic in Starfield, but you may need to buy into the illusion first. Yes, most of Starfield's "1,000 planets" are the result of video game-y smoke and mirrors, yet they conjure a true sense of galaxy-spanning adventure. Kind of like the old-school RPGs that inspired it!
