Yes. Starfield is single player even.

There's lots of talk about SC taking a billion and having nothing to show for it.

No one else is putting a mining rover into one ship, then flying that combo onto a bigger ship, and then flying that shipducken around.

They're doing things no one else is doing. Things no one else has done. This isn't just another unreal engine. Or creation kit, or whatever Bethesda is calling their zombie.

Starfield doesn't even have real planets. It's just 1k squares surrounded by loading screens.

Anyway, I'm ranting now. SC is notorious for its funding and long development. It's easy internet points to shit on it. Like the video game shorthand for the Nickelback conversation cul-de-sac.

It deserves its detractors. It also delivers a hell of an experience for $45 and deserves its recognition. The nuance of that second point is lost in the crowd usually.
