Despite that, what I got to play was a pretty promising little slice of space-shooter action. At the time, I was given free rein in a couple of pockets of space that were occupied by some asteroids, some missions, some outlaws, and docking stations to repair and refuel whenever needed. it was a simple little loop of activity, but the sharp combat and deep customization on offer were already incredibly appealing.

Pair open-world exploration with an immersive outer space setting, and the result is what players get in these incredible space games.
starfield is fallout with a space fast travel disguised as a mini game. technically space, but more open world sci fi.
