If, at some point during your Starfield playthrough, you wished that this universe had a bougie trance dance club DJed by an intergalactic version of Björk, then let me present to you the Astral Lounge. It’s the biggest club in Neon, the Blade Runner-esque city where everyone is high on Aurora, a drug that’s only legal in this one part of the galaxy, so you’d expect it to be grand—and it is. There’s a VIP area accessible only by elevator, expensive neon light fixtures, a full bar, and a raised platform at the center that serves as a stage for its go-go dancers. Yes, the go-go dancers are inexplicably wearing head-to-toe, long-sleeved metallic bodysuits with funny little doodads on their heads and strange spikes coming off of the arms and legs in what Kotaku’s Ethan Gach says is a reminder of how “unsexy this game is,” but if you were high as a kite like everyone else at the Astral Lounge, you’d love it.

If you’re looking for Björk (her name is actually BorealUS), head up to the VIP Lounge and across the tiny walkway to her booth that hangs over the dance floor. Just keep in mind, she’s very high, so approach her slowly. You don’t wanna harsh her mellow. — AM
