Many gamers are heading into space, keen to explore the stars as they embark on romance, adventures, and all sorts of tomfoolery. Yet, while space exploration fever is underway, there’s many complaints aboutStarfield’s space travel, with fans unable to deny their crushing disappointment.
The issue has arisen from fans expecting space travel, e.g. going from plant to plant, to be similar toNo Man’s Sky, when the reality is fast travel to locations. Players wanted to be amongst the stars as much as possible, directing their ship and crew towards all sorts of new discoveries, with emphasis on the directing part. We wanted to see the universe, not zip around while watching a loading screen.

On Reddit, a user asked if anyone else was experiencing similar feelings. “To learn that you actually fast travel inStarfieldinstead of driving freely among the stars makes me want to giveNMSanother chance, especially since - if I’m not mistaken - the game improved a lot since its release. Note that Fallout is the franchise I’ve played the most, and I will definitely complete Starfield, but I wanted to know if others felt the same?”
Theycontinued, “NMSis a survival crafting game rather than an RPG. It is primarily about collecting resources and building stuff so you can gain more resources or get creative with building. There aren’t really hand crafted quests to go on, but mostly just procedurally generated mission board stuff. Not that it’s a bad game. It’s pretty fun, just… don’t go in expecting it to be Starfield but with seamless exploration.”
Nailhead meets hammer. Yes, it might be disappointing for space travel to be nothing more than fast travel with a fancy loading screen, but people shouldn’t be buyingStarfieldto explore space; granted, exploration is involved, but it’s an RPG, there’s a bigger picture to appreciate.
