Starfield Player Discovers One Planetary Feature We Take For Granted

The scale of Starfield is nothing to sneeze at, but among all of its varied planets and ecosystems, one particular feature doesn’t crop up very often. Rather than featuring a smaller number of bespoke planet designs, Starfield uses procedural generation to handle most of its environments, taking a similar tack to the space-faring adventure game No Man’s Sky. Some aspects of this system are ultimately impressive, while others can feel repetitive or underwhelming after exploring enough planets that share similar elements and lack stand-out charms.
