Is Starfield worth returning to for Shattered Space?

In 2023, Bethesda Game Studios‘ Starfield launched with a lukewarm reception on Xbox and PC. It’s the first new IP developed by Bethesda in 25 years, and acted as a wrench thrown into the machine that created intricate and engaging stories within the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. Starfield was poised to be bold and ambitious, and while I generally enjoyed the experience, it’s hard for me to argue that it was the colossal boom for Western RPGs that Skyrim once was. However, the new Shattered Space DLC was a chance to return to the game and step into a world of new content and quality-of-life updates.
