Shattered Space is the first time since Oblivion's Shivering Isles that Bethesda has used the term expansion pack, and Starfield players believe that this could imply a more ambitious scope for the project. Though Starfield broke several Bethesda records at launch, many fans have a mixed opinion on how Starfield compares to previous Bethesda titles such as Fallout 4 or Skyrim. The gunplay and ship design in Starfield was almost universally praised by its community on release, but questing and open world exploration left a lot to be desired.
