Amongst all of the quests inStarfield,the Entangled quest has emerged as a standout experience, impressing many players with its uniqueness and underlying creepy vibes.
As anticipation builds for the upcomingShattered SpaceDLC, players are reflecting on the unique elements of this mission. Some praise it as a great addition to the main questline, while others feel it has its flaws and overstayed its welcome.
The Entangled Mission in Starfield
The Entangledmission intheStarfieldintroduces a cool mechanic where players can switch between two parallel universes. This feature is central to the quest, as players need to navigate these alternate realities to solve puzzles and save a character named Rafael.
Many players on theStarfieldsubreddit have talked about how the mission’s design kept them on edge, and that they were rather surprised when they played it for the first time. The concept of jumping between universes to tackle challenges felt fresh and innovative, although it had already been done inother games before.
One user expressed their excitement about how the mission required constant vigilance and needing to pay extra attention to everything. They described feeling uneasy, constantly on alert with their gun drawn, unsure if the mission was a prank or part of a deeper, darker scheme.
This sense of paranoia and suspense was a significant part of what made the mission memorable for them. Unfortunately, the rest of the gamedoesn’t really have missions like these.

The reactions to this mission are not universally positive. Some players appreciated the concept but felt the execution could have been a lot better. They compared it to similar mechanics seen in other games likeTitanfall 2andDishonored 2,which also used alternate timelines in a single mission to enhance gameplay, and both did it better, in more unique ways.
While these comparisons show that the multiverse concept has a lot of potential, especially inStarfield,some players feel the game didn’t fully capitalize on it.
Mixed Reactions to the Entangled Mission
In the Reddit thread, there were critiques about how the mission could have been better integrated. Some felt that the idea was strong, but the execution didn’t live up to its potential.
The mission’s pacing was a common point of contention, with some players feeling it definitely overstayed its welcome. A lot of players grew tired by the end of the mission, due to the puzzles and the map, which were rather annoying.
This opinion was shared by others whowished for more missions with such unique mechanicsin the game, perhaps for each artifact, wanting greater variety and innovation in gameplay rather than the repetitiveness of going to a barren planet and finding a shrine just to complete the 15th gravity puzzle.

Titanfall 2‘s the Effect and Causemission andDishonored 2’s A Crack in the Slab offer far more compelling and satisfying uses of similar mechanics.
These comparisons just show howStarfield’s attempt at the multiverse concept, while intriguing at first, fell short of the heights achieved by these other games from several years ago.
As theShattered SpaceDLC approaches, players are hopeful that it will build on the successes and address the shortcomings of previous content.
