For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you've already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

Discuss all things Starfield below!

So the space exploration is more like Mass Effect Andromeda instead of No Man's Sky?

To me Mass Effect 1-3 felt more cohesive in space, because it was always clear how much you could do, whereas in SF it looks exactly like you're in NMS, but you can't do NMS things.

It's not game breaking or ruining though. Just know going in that it isn't No Mans Sky.

I haven't played it, but that seems to be the general consensus I've seen.

Yes, it's much more like Andromeda than NMS. You can also land at other points on planets and get a procedurally generated area instead of just the pre-made ones like in andromeda though.
