Needless to say, with Bethesda heavyweight Todd Howard's recent announcement of a release date for "Starfield" (opens in new tab), I am more eager than ever for the "Skyrim in Space" RPG to arrive.

But with "Starfield" launching on September 6 of this year (opens in new tab), I, like many other gamers, will have to get my planetary exploration, resource gathering, and survival RPG kicks elsewhere for a few months.

However, Reddit gamers seem to have found a small solution to that wait, with a movie (opens in new tab) in the Starfield sub-Reddit thread that is described as "very Starfield-like in atmosphere."

Moreover, the movie also features the ever-so-awesome Pedro Pascal, because at the heart of its plot is a very "Last of Us" (open in new tab) type of father-daughter relationship. That Movie" The 2018 film "Prospect" tells the story of a teenage girl and her father who travel to an alien moon on a gem mining contract, but encounter all sorts of dangers.

To be honest, I had never even heard of "Prospect," but I am a fan of Pedro Pascal and really liked the relationship between the teenage girl and her father in "The Last of Us."

Excitingly, "Prospect" has a really strong score of 89% (open in new tab) on the movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with top critics all raving about it.

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times states, "The film balances genre thrills with a detailed portrayal of prospecting on an alien planet." Meanwhile, Variety's Peter Debruge states that "'Prospect' has something that most indie sci-fi films don't: an atmosphere, something humanity desperately needs when traveling to strange worlds."

The trailer, which can be seen below, also creates an atmosphere of otherworldly exploration.

So, with more than four months still to go until the release of "Starfield," I'll be following Pedro Pascal's lead in "The Last of Us" and watching "Prospect" this weekend to satisfy my gaming cravings as much as possible.

Now, if Bethesda can spend the next four months polishing "Starfield" so that it's not full of bugs at launch, PC gamers everywhere will be very happy.
