Starfieldhas been nominated for award to celebrate its “innovative” gameplay, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
It’s been a tough year forStarfield. What should have been the game’s celebrated debut quickly fell apart when fans came to the conclusion that it’s just Fallout but in space.
Take a look atStarfieldbelow!
Many assumed it’d be likeNo Man’s Skybut with that classicBethesdacharm sprinkled in, with plenty of quests, planets you can turn into sprawling bases and exhilarating space combat. It was envisioned to be one of the greatest and most immersive sci-fi RPGs ever made, which was unfortunatelyjust too good to be true.

Now that isn’t to say it’s a bad game, it’s a great game, so great that it made its way onto ourGame Of The Year list, it just wasn’t quite what everyone was expected.
While it didn’t win anything during this year’s Game Awards,only being nominated for one category,it has a chance to redeem itself via the upcomingSteamawards. Bethesda’s RPG has beennominatedfor the Innovative Gameplay award. This is a bit of a surprise given how most complaints with the game revolve around it not pushing any boundaries outside of building your own starship.
Whether that meets the criteria to receive the Innovative Gameplay award is another question, but it’s at least earns it some consideration.
