This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave power up the grav drive, polish their space boots, and blast off into the sprawling universe of Starfield. Set hundreds of years in the future, humanity has left Earth behind and spread across the Settled Systems, where rival factions, ruthless pirates, shady corporations, and mysterious alien artifacts all compete for control. Joining the explorers of Constellation, the boys set out on a journey across distant planets, crowded neon cities, dusty frontier outposts, and the endless black of space itself.
From dogfights among the stars to tense firefights on forgotten moons, they’ll need to survive dangerous mercenaries, uncover ancient secrets, and somehow keep their ship from becoming a flying storage locker full of useless loot. Will Dave spend three hours decorating the captain’s quarters instead of saving the galaxy? And can Nick go five minutes without immediately siding with smugglers, bounty hunters, or anyone offering questionable side quests?
