As an extra bonus, the DLC is full of bugs and glitches, with a choppy frame rate even in Balanced mode, broken textures, and permanently confused enemies and other characters. In particular, your companions rarely seem to realise where they are or what they're doing, as if they've just woken up bleary-eyed from all-night bender and still think they're somewhere else.This DLC manages to remove one of those problems while magnifying the others, including the weak storytelling and the fact that the characters and background lore for the universe are so thoroughly uninteresting. In fact, through the 12 hours or more of Shattered Space we've barely felt less gripped all year.

In Short: The exact opposite of what Starfield needed, with a DLC expansion that magnifies the parent game's failings and sidelines its more positive elements.
Pros: The new city is nice and big and the there's plenty of content. If purple is your favourite colour you'll never want to leave.
Cons: Boring story and characters, uninteresting new map and exploration, and the same old mediocre combat. No new weapons or enemies of note. Distressing amount of bugs. Very expensive.
Score: 4/10
