Critical Consensus

A Starfield screenshot showing a character standing in the distance on an alien planet, looking toward the camera. The near- and middle-ground is taken up by large and glistening-but-worn metallic walls that seemingly get darker as they get closer to the camera's viewpoint. A large planet with rings around it is visible in the sky behind the character.
