If you’d like extra of the exploration side of Starfield, there’s actually not a greater recreation round than No Man’s Sky. Much like Cyberpunk 2077, this recreation skilled numerous participant backlash at first as a consequence of unfulfilled guarantees. Nevertheless, within the final 7 years, the sport has been virtually utterly overhauled and is a wholly totally different expertise from launch.
There’s much less of a narrative to the sport, with the principle purpose is attending to the middle of the universe. In case you have been overwhelmed with the variety of planets in Starfield, No Man’s Sky blows that out of the water.

Fallout 4 represents the opposite finish of the Bethesda RPG spectrum. As a substitute of shockingly medieval or far future, Fallout is type of within the center. It has a extra retrofuturistic really feel as a result of, although it has robots, every little thing nonetheless feels mid-1900s. In distinction to the considerably empty planets, you gained’t go too far earlier than operating into some thrilling new areas to discover. Additionally, you get a canine companion, which is one thing Starfield did the other of by probably making them extinct.

Nobody ever stated a recreation needed to be first-person to share related concepts with Starfield, proper? So with that in thoughts, I’d wish to suggest Purple Useless Redemption 2 as an inexpensive follow-up to your area journey. You get a large open world to discover with loads of distinctive characters to satisfy. It could be a degree of shock to go from a recreation with crazily futuristic science to a technologically void one, however it’s price it.

Plus, you get a jetpack for faster exploration that’s doubtless among the best in-game jetpacks I’ve ever skilled. Elex II can also be nice for these in search of a little bit of issue, as enemies don’t scale; totally different areas simply have harder enemies, and it’s simple to search out them by accident.
Elex II as soon as once more follows Jax, the protagonist of the primary recreation (which you don’t have to play). After being shunned for doomsday warnings of an incoming risk, Jax is confirmed appropriate as an invasion begins proper at his doorstep.

Everspace
![Everspace](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Everspace.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Our final decide is for many who need higher area fight than what Starfield presents. Not that what Starfield provides gamers is unhealthy, however slightly fundamental compared to different video games. Everspace is all area dogfights, with none of the terrestrial gameplay components. You’re solely a ship, and your purpose is survival, so you’ll be able to customise your ship and struggle some extra.
That is the largest divergence from the remainder of this checklist, as there’s not a lot of a narrative to Everspace. It’s a roguelike title, that means you play till dying after which get a brand new run with that obtained data and new instruments to make sure victory the subsequent time. On the subject of space-based fight, there aren’t actually some other video games that do it higher than this one. Plus, the roguelike side means you’ll be able to take pleasure in it in bite-sized chunks with out investing in a prolonged storyline playthrough.
