What to play while waiting for Starfield

I bet you that if there is a version of this on Gameboy Advance that it's one of the hardest games ever made.

There is a GBA version!?

I'm staying away from big RPG like games as I'm going to be playing Starfield for a long time so I'm playing shorter or action games to pass the time. Got TLOU2 3rd playthrough going, Forza Horizon 5, Amnesia Bunker and going back into SoT for the Monkey Island expansion.

So play that i guess
I am being partly facetious but i honestly meant that in a good way, game looks great

I’ll just keep on playing Zelda TOTK like I’ve done since the day it launched.

Maybe I’ll play some SF6 as well, possibly FF7 Remake too since I want to be ready for Rebirth.

Look there's nothing as good as Starfield looks, better play with yourself then looking for games like SF.

Drizzlehell Drizzlehell if you don't care about "maximum graphics" and want a deep space exploration game to sink your teeth into then Starsector:







This game isn't talked about nearly enough, but that's a symptom of the devs refusal to put it on steam for now.

Theres tons of competition for this kind of game (X series, Avorion, Endless Space, Endless Sky, etc.) so i think its natural it'd get buried in conversations.

Star sector isn't a 4X game. Most of the games you listed are 4X.

While it dabbles in some elements that are common across the games you listed, this is it's own thing.

For fear of my backlog becoming even larger after this game comes out. I'm opting to finish Jedi Survivor, my 2nd playthrough of Cyberpunk and 2nd playthrough of The Witcher 3.

After that I'm like to get my Necro to 100 in Diablo, maybe finish more of Halo's campaign.

Theres usually a lot of variations, strenghts and weaknesses among these sorts of games. I mean, i could also say Avorion isn't really like X games either, or i could point to titles like Stellaris or Stellar Tactics which also have different approaches to the kind of "Space simulation" they want to be.

Honestly, its quite a rabbit hole, and each of these titles are something you can put endless amount of hours on. So it deserves some more research if one really wants to get into it.
