Bethesda Game Studios released the Starfield Shattered Space expansion roughly two months ago. The reception, however, wasn't great.
On Wccftech, the expansion got a mere six out of ten, whereas the base game was rated nine out of ten. Francesco De Meo wrote about Starfield Shattered Space: The Starfield Shattered Space expansion leaves a lot to be desired.
While it introduces a more focused and engaging story compared to the base game, the average map and quest design, along with the lack of new features, turn the adventure in Va'Ruun'kai into a bit of a slog rather quickly.
Although the tighter focus is welcome, the Starfield experience as a whole needs something more substantial to reach its full potential.
