Players who expected Starfield to be “Skyrim in space” were inevitably disappointed, but a year after launch, it might finally live up to expectations. For many players, Starfield is the baseline for big Bethesda RPGs. It was the last major release by the studio to be exactly what was promised: a groundbreaking, immersive romp through a snow-blanketed fantasy world. It was buggy, sure, and Bethesda has since milked it for everything it’s worth – but Skyrim is still fondly remembered by many as their first life-changing experience with a Bethesda RPG.
