Starfield's character creator is so versatile, Bethesda used it to create the game's NPCs

Starfield's exploration looks like searching a quarry for the best piece of gravel

Freedom, but freedom to what? “So why go this big withStarfield?” “Because we want to give you freedom on a galactic level,” is the unsatisfying response. Starfieldfeatures over 1000 planets to visit, each procedurally generated upon your approach but populated with handcrafted elements. No Man’s Skyis the obvious point of comparison in everything that’s shown during this segment. But it extends to the planets themselves and your activities on them....

Starfield's spaceship combat is more than just holding down a trigger and hoping for the best

Some space cowboy just flip you off? Chuck all your power into shields and weapons and have a shootout. you might alsounlock skillsthat give you an advantage in combat. An example given was the targeting control systems skill that lets you target an enemy ship’s specific sub-systems. If you clear it out, the ship is basically yours and it gets added to your fleet. So that’s how spaceship combat in Starfield works....

Starfield’s ship building still threatens to produce the most cursed crafts in sci-fi

Consider my interest renewed as a result. Bethesda even leaned into this themselves, with Starfield Direct showcasing some of their own terrible ships. One dev confessed to designing her ships like animals, revealing one nicknamed “The Platypus”. For its resemblance to the eastern Australian, partially aquatic mammal, the platypus. That habitat module for stuffing your crewmates in? NotE3 and Summer Game Fest 2023 is over for another year.

The Hardspace: Shipbreaker dev's new game is a sci-fi deckbuilder with Battlestar Galactica vibes

As the captain of the fleet, your job is to lead everyone to a safe harbour. But since it’s a roguelike I spose you’ll get multiple goes at making them. The remake from the 2000s. I think the teaser trailer is harking back to the fleet making lightspeed jumps, too. Shame it’s a deckbuilder, which I am not good at and do not enjoy!

The heights in Don't Nod's new climbing adventure make me incredibly queasy

Hey, I’m just looking out for you. It looks very pretty but also terrifying. Thankfully, there will be resting points on your climbing spree. There are strange villages nestled into the side of cliffs that look abandoned. Homes to a lost civilisation, maybe? Looks like Don’t Nod are keeping that under wraps for now.

The new RTS from former StarCraft 2 devs looks a lot like StarCraft 2

They make a game which looks quite a lot like ‘Warcraft 3 meets StarCraft 2’. Along with various competitive multiplayer modes, Stormgate will cooperative play, including on campaign missions. Stormgate will be free-to-play, thought Frost Giant insist “never pay to win.” The 1v1 in this pre-alpha gameplay video is a mirror match between the Human resistance. Maybe they be could haughty but honourable. Could have an organic vibe to their technology, or even organic technology....
