Bethesda's latest open-world video game 'Starfield' takes us for a fantastic ride among the stars and plants seeds of curiosity and belief in science.
If you're an avid gamer and/or someone who can't stop thinking about outer space and what our future among the stars might hold, chances are you've been playing Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios' latest open-world video game, non-stop for the last few weeks.
It's definitely an adventure worth embarking on for fun, but we also believe it's one of those works of science fiction with the potential to have a large impact on how people perceive real-life space exploration and other ongoing scientific efforts.
The topic of space exploration and colonization is a very common one in modern video games, with sci-fi settings often being front and center, helping shape the games' many systems and mechanics instead of serving as mere backdrops. This seems to suggest Starfield's basic premise isn't that different from that of many renowned titles we've had in recent years, such as "Astroneer," but just a couple of hours with Bethesda's most ambitious title so far highlights how its depiction of humanity's star-bound future is denser and more thoughtful than most.
