Starfield’s New Game Plus Mode Is An Intriguing Take on a Familiar Formula

Over the last several years, it has become increasingly common for developers to reward players with the persistence to power through their biggest releases with a New Game Plus option upon completion, and Starfield is no different. Although the exact form the mode takes varies from title to title, it typically allows players to go back to a game’s beginning with all the equipment and abilities they collected along the way. Rather than following this familiar formula with its latest release, though, Bethesda made the bold choice to try something new. The result is a NG+ mode that feels surprisingly original while still rewarding players who make it to the end of Starfield.
