One of the things I’m most looking forward to withStarfieldis the details, I think.

Jury’s out on that one.

It’s entirely possible I just need new glasses.

What goes up eventually comes down and all that.

Games, like Starfield, have always been so good at capturing this stuff.

Within minutes of loading up you’ve got the option to land on a comet!

And I can tell you exactly where this detail is found.

You get into your spaceship.

You get your bearings in this wonderfully elbowy piece of real estate.

Then, if you’re a pro, you immediately put your spacesuit on.

The first time I saw those I gasped.

Because I thought: hey, I know what those are!

Don’t ask me anything more about this because my head hurts.

We’re off to a new world!

Outer Wilds gets it.

And I am excited to see whether Starfield gets it too.
