Get ready to explore the vastness of space by fast traveling to quest objectives in the latest and greatest entry in the Oblivion with guns franchise. Come across all sorts of riveting points of interest upon hundreds of barren empty rocks, like the same prefab space pirate outposts over and over you'll mow through with your #NASApunk P90 while occasionally pausing the game to cram your face full of astronaut food to cure your bullet wounds. Embark on a series of fetchquests an epic adventure through the stars to learn the secrets of the Forerunners and the Ur-Quan upon learning that you are Dovahkiin (Starborn) after touching a Prothean beacon, making you go on to learn the Star Shout Words of Power in order to stop Alduin from destroying the multiverse. Discover wild and inventive alien species like dinosaurs, giant bugs and genestealers TerrorMorphs™, that all have trouble pathfinding around tiny pebbles and are unable to keep up with you whilst you backpedal away and empty their healthbar with a futuristic #NASApunk firearm like a Colt .45 or a VSS Vintorez. Engage in Next-Gen spaceship combat that excels at making you wish you'd instead clicked Knossos.exe and played a game released in 1999.

Bethesda truly have gone BACK TO THEIR ROOTS and made A TRUE RPG again. My jaw dropped when I first opened the level up menu, there's so many exciting +10% damage perks to choose from that you also need to fulfill arbitrary challenges for in order to unlock higher ranks like in Call of Duty multiplayer and other classics of the genre. The build/playstyle variety and roleplaying opportunities are simply put wild, although objectively speaking not as good as Fallout 4, but it's almost on par with a FarCry game. Not to mention, the narrative is genuinely the same caliber as heady sci-fi works like Interstellar, Arrival and Bioshock Infinite, brava Emil Pagliarulo!

8 out of 10, it has a little something for everyone.
