The new locations introduced in the Starfield Shattered Space expansion look really good, but they can be made to look much better with some choice mods, as showcased by a new video shared online today.
The video put together by Digital Dreams shows how stunning the new locations of the first expansion released for Bethesda's latest role-playing game can look with ReShade ray tracing and over 300 mods, including some Star Wars mods that are quite apt, given the game's space exploration mechanics.
Unfortunately, visuals are the only remarkable feature of the Starfield Shattered Space expansion, as the expansion doesn't bring anything substantial to the table. On the contrary, it takes away some of the features that define the base game's experience, resulting in an experience that becomes a slog very quickly, even with its short length, as I highlighted in my review.
The Starfield Shattered Space expansion leaves a lot to be desired. While it introduces a more focused and engaging story compared to the base game, the average map and quest design, along with the lack of new features, turn the adventure in Va'Ruun'kai into a bit of a slog rather quickly. Although the tighter focus is welcome, the Starfield experience as a whole needs something more substantial to reach its full potential.
The Starfield Shattered Space expansion, alongside the base game, is now available on PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
