I mean, I actually like the game, but I will say that anyone that thought it deserved GOTY awards is delusional and presumably in a tiny minority to think it. It wasn’t even plausible that it would even win best RPG when it came out the same year as Baldur’s Gate 3. Starfield may not be a terrible game, but it’s definitely not great either. It’s thoroughly mediocre.
The universe of Elder Scrolls: Spacerim just feels… strangely sparse and uninteresting, even in a lot of the places that should be interesting.
If this came out 5-6 years ago, it’d be a different story, but there’s frankly too many competitors that have done space RPG as good or better than Todd has with his latest entry.
I wouldn’t call these RPGs though :( I love the first two, but they are Sandboxes without a campaign and right now I’d kill to have something like Mass Effect. Let’s wait for Squadron 42…
And some people were annoyed it didn’t win game of the year…
Most average game of the year.
Bethesda hasn’t innovated in years, they depend nearly entirely on the name alone

Elite: Dangerous
No Man’s Sky
Star Citizen

Some people will worship anything Bethesda puts out, even when it’s mid at best
