5 role-playing space games you should try while waiting for Starfield
Starfield is getting ready for its release in November this year. Although Starfield hype is building up in the community, fans are yet to see any gamplay showcase.
The most recent update from the developers was a discussion of how the music in Starfield is composed, which teases some ideas about its world, but strays far from displaying some hands-on gameplay.
