Oct 9, 2024Shattered Space is a DLC that expands the lore of the world of Starfield, detailing a pleasant and well-conceiveded tale, which makes clear the gruesome and brutal plot of House Va'ruun, which absolutely deserves consideration, from now on. From a playful point of view, here, I would have expected a little more, with some additions as has happened in the past with other Bethesda works. The final result is still very good.

Oct 3, 2024Ultimately, Starfield: Shattered Space is an expansion that delivers.

Oct 11, 2024Starfield: Shattered Space has some excellent side quests and interesting new places to explore. Unfortunately, it’s all tied together by a largely boring main quest, and leaves what could have been its standout character as completely optional and in the background.

Oct 4, 2024While Shattered Space is quite possibly one of Starfield's most enjoyable storylines to date, it once again struggles to offer any real consequences. And its new setting feels woefully underutilised.

Oct 7, 2024Shattered Space was a chance for Bethesda to do some stuff that’d make quibbling about where you can spend five hours building a little house surrounded by mineral extractors a lot less important than it was in the base game. It was a golden opportunity to take the great ideas Bethesda’d had when devising a faction that’d grabbed players’ attention, and bring them to life with a bunch of either the classic Bethesda magic, or a new mojo that the studio could carry on into the great games it may well add to an already storied legacy in the future. Instead, anyone returning to Starfield after all the time they’ve spent with what remains a very marmite base game will likely be left feeling much the same way they did about all those hours when they get done playing what could have been a home run return to star form.
-
Oct 7, 2024An expansion that will not attract new players. Those who loved the main game could gain some entertainment from Shattered Space, but it's hard to give high praise for minimum effort.

Oct 4, 2024Despite a prologue that promises an oppressing and mystical atmosphere, Shattered Space leaves on the long run the taste of a « lazy » DLC that does not push its concept to its full extent. Its hand-crafted open world is gorgeous to look at, but sadly uninteresting to explore. House Va'ruun, the core of the story, deserved a better treatment, but falls short because of shallow characters and a scenario that poorly motivates the player to feel invested in. The whole experience can although be pleasant for the fans of the (too ?) classical Bethesda formula, despite an almost total lack of new gameplay mechanics and enemies to fight. Nevertheless, players who did not like Starfield in the first place will certainly not enjoy its first DLC. Let us hope that Bethesda will do better on a second one, presumably already in the works somewhere among the stars.
