Summary AStarfieldplayer comes across a rock formation on the moon of Ampere that is eerily reminiscent of Solitude, the capital city of the Imperial Province of Skyrim. While theprocedural generation inStarfieldmay not have received the kind of praise that Bethesda was likely hoping for, the game still provided a rather thrilling experience for players who enjoyedFallout 4’s gunplay. Raiding pirate outposts on random worlds provided a satisfying gameplay loop for many Bethesda fans, even if the underlying systems left a lot to be desired....

While fans may not be expecting it to offer many teasers for what will happen inBorderlands4, either, there is a reason to hold onto the hope that it will....
