I always like to try and connect my hobbies with Japanese, and lately I have been into the popular game Starfield. Besides playing the game, I’ve been listening to a bunch of reviews in both English and Japanese. By the way, Starfield has been said to have a very high quality Japanese localization (including voice acting), so this game is a good way to practice your Japanese ability.
To help those either wanting to play the game or just learn about it in Japanese I’ve provided a list of words related to Starfield or the critique of Starfield.
Note: In most cases I have just given the noun form, but in some of these cases you can add “suru” to make it a verb (like the first word).
