Starfield: Shattered Space

"Shattered Space hits the mark by delivering a worthy expansion to one of the biggest and better mysteries in Starfield. This dive into the legacy of House Va&s;ruun brings precise criticism to religious fanatism to deliver excellent moments with some …"

"Despite starting from truly intriguing premises, Shattered Space is a content that moves - with the brakes on - between light and shadow, failing to add a piece of great value to the Starfield content mosaic. Net of its qualitative …"

"An expansion that will not attract new players. Those who loved the main game could gain some entertainment from Shattered Space, but it&s;s hard to give high praise for minimum effort."

"Starfield: Shattered Space is the first expansion for Bethesda’s space epic, a piece of content that feels objectively unnecessary in the game’s overall context. Despite the fantastic new settings and the idea of focusing the story on a single moon, …"

"Starfield: Shattered Space changes the rules of the game to renew your experience and expand your universe in an interesting way."

"Starfield&s;s Shattered Space expansion is weighed down by bugs and is ultimately a disappointment compared to the base game."

"Although it has good intentions and is visually striking, it contributes very little (and sometimes it makes a bit of a ball) in the gameplay. It could have given more of itself."

"Starfield&s;s Shattered Space expansion ably fills in the Va&s;ruun-shaped hole in the main campaign, but doesn&s;t shatter conventions with new abilities that would make a replay more exciting."

"Starfield: Shattered Space has some excellent side quests and interesting new places to explore. Unfortunately, it&s;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 …"

"Although Starfield: Shattered Space isn&s;t objectively terrible, it&s;s both lacking in content and creativity, and serves as a staunch reminder that not every game&s;s first major update in over a year can be as good as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty."

"The Starfield Shattered Space expansion leaves a lot to be desired. While it introduces a more focused and engaging story compared to the base game, the average map and quest design, along with the lack of new features, turn the …"

"Maybe one day, Starfield will finally become what everyone had hoped, with more emphasis on the mechanics people enjoy. Starfield: Shattered Space isn&s;t the worst DLC in the world, and fans of the base game may enjoy it, but it …"

"Despite a prologue that puts us on the edge of our seats thanks to an oppressive atmosphere imbued with mysticism, Shattered Space leaves the feeling of a "lazy" DLC that doesn&s;t go to the end of its ideas."

"The Starfield expansion had a lot of potential, with a strong and intriguing start. However, it doesn&s;t offer enough additions to be considered a true expansion. The inclusion of only one new planet and a few updates to equipment and …"

"While its new environments are a decent aside, Shattered Space seems largely content to tread water, leaving Starfield the same mixed bag it always was."

"Shattered Space is just more of what Starfield couldn’t deliver. Although its focused, single-location experience and engaging quests provide a refreshing change, its overall lackluster quality proves that no updates or expansions can truly transform Starfield. While moments of brilliance …"

"Bethesda&s;s gigantic space RPG&s;s first major expansion only highlights the game&s;s fundamental limitations"

"A year after the release of Starfield, Bethesda returns with Shattered Space, a DLC that abandons procedural worlds to offer a more contained narrative experience. Exploring Va&s;ruun&s;kai feels good and rewards us with a narratively solid story and missions that …"

"The DLC is held back by bugs that will hopefully be patched in the future, and preferably sooner than later. But even with the eventual updates and fixes, this is still a DLC that adds no spice to the base …"

"The story was good, but not excellent. Exploration definitely had a few wins, but still felt largely empty and did not reward players enough. Loot system is still flawed and the added content clearly did not include a whole lot …"

"Starfield: Shattered Space is an overpriced, disappointing expansion that adds little to the game aside from some neat weapons. There’s too much talking, not enough shooting, and an underwhelming amount of content for its asking price of $29.99 USD. It’s …"

"The Shattered Space expansion can be seen as a step in the right direction, aiming to address previous shortcomings. However, it still relies heavily on the same formula and structure as Starfield and doesn’t bring anything particularly new or unique. …"

"Shattered Space is a DLC that expands the lore of the world of Starfield, detailing a pleasant and well-concied tale, which makes clear the gruesome and brutal plot of House Va&s;ruun, which absolutely deserves consideration, from now on. From a …"

"Yes, this is “more Starfield,” a game I liked, but I am very disappointed in the way it has barely evolved a year later, and the best thing about is Bethesda going back to a Bethesda-like zone structure. That’s good, …"

"A strong opening and a great setting are unfortunately let down by a less than engaging story."

"Overall, Shattered Space is a decent expansion that introduces a deep story along with a dark planet featuring larger quests and new enemies. While it&s;s enjoyable, it doesn&s;t bring anything groundbreaking and feels more like an additional dose of the …"

"Starfield: Shattered Space is a compelling but messy addition to Starfield and could be recommended to Starfield fans."

"Starfield: Shattered Space is a big disappointment in almost every way. We loved the base game, for all its flaws, and we were willing this to be the big, exciting DLC drop that&s;d make us love it all over again. …"

"Shattered Space takes advantage of the latest additions to Starfield to create a great adventure full of new content on a mysterious planet to explore, either on foot or at the wheel of our vehicle. The Va&s;ruun house becomes an …"

"Starfield: Shattered Space takes you to a "shattered space", and I mean it literally. This is probably the most unstable, unpolished DLC that Bethesda has ever released. It doesn&s;t improve the original game&s;s experience by any means but rather drags …"

"Starfield: Shattered Space returns to Bethesda&s;s design roots, giving a singular location to explore in a DLC that&s;s tinged with terror. Despite not exploring this science-fiction horror tone as much as I&s;d have liked, it&s;s still a fun experience worth …"

"Shattered Space is a fun and meaty addendum for those who enjoyed what Starfield&s;s base experience had to offer, but those hoping for any significant improvements will be left disappointed."

"Starfield did not entice me to stay as long as any of my beloved favourite Bethesda titles. So after a year, I have hopes that some spit and polish has been put into their new expansive DLC, ‘Starfield: Shattered Space’ …"

"After a year Bethesda finally comes with an extension for Starfield called Shattered Space. What can you expect from it? Especially a lot of the same and there the problem is largely. The vibe that hung around Starfield has since …"

"Games like The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 or even Skyrim introduced lots of new, high quality content with their respective expansions. Shattered Space was supposed to be one of such add-ons – after a bumpy debiut of Starfield, Bethesda surely …"

"The kindest thing I can say about Shattered Space is that it&s;s "just more Starfield", and if you wanted more missions and story content, then this expansion delivers. However, if you didn&s;t enjoy the base game very much, Shattered Space …"

"Shattered Space is a very high-quality expansion, but if you didn&s;t like the original Starfield, it probably won&s;t convince you. However, a lower price tag certainly wouldn&s;t hurt."
