Never a good sign.īoarding the station, I found myself at the end of a gilded hallway - completely weightless, and guided only by the jets on my backpack.
However, upon hailing the station, the only thing that returned was static. Around the planet Nesoi, I bumped into a fairly standard-looking radial space station, not unlike Constellation’s own starbase, known as The Eye. On my way from Alpha Centauri, following the Mantis questline, I stumbled on the Olympus star system. In fact, this zero-gravity gunfight may well be one of the game’s very best. Turns out that there’s an excellent early-game opportunity to take those new weapons for a test drive. It’s a big improvement from the Fallout series’ collection of feathery pop-guns. Personally, I’ve found that its weapons feel weighty, fairly precise, and satisfyingly potent. Numerous critics, including here at Polygon, have praised its combat. Bethesda Game Studios is not necessarily well regarded for its expertise at digital gunplay, but after Starfield, that very well may change.
