Few developers in the open-world adventure genre command as much respect as Bethesda. With highly acclaimed franchises like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout under their belt, the anticipation for their first new IP in over two decades was immense. Fortunately, Bethesda has once again exceeded expectations and delivered on all the hype with Starfield. This game offers a thrilling, out-of-this-world adventure that open-world game enthusiasts shouldn't miss.
What sets Starfield apart is its remarkable main story and well-developed characters that players can easily relate to. However, like all great Bethesda games, it's the abundance of side content that truly makes Starfield shine. Players will constantly encounter new and exciting adventures, and they can also indulge in crafting and outpost-building mechanics for additional enjoyment and distractions. For those seeking to fully immerse themselves in the game, Game Rant's comprehensive guide to Starfield is highly recommended.
Getting Started in Starfield
Similar to other contemporary video games, Starfield initiates with a brief tutorial segment. During this initial phase, players are introduced to fundamental game mechanics like movement and armed combat. Additionally, players have the opportunity to create their own character, encompassing choices related to appearance, skills, traits, and background. These selections can ultimately influence the trajectory of their unique gameplay experience.
Not every in-game mechanic is explained during this section though, with players left to figure a lot of things out for themselves. Many of these are fairly intuitive and should come naturally to most players, but for those who are new to the genre, getting started in Starfield may at first seem a little daunting. This section of the guide will help to ease players in, with how-to guides, beginner tips, and answers to some of the more frequently asked questions.
