Starfield just won a nice reward during a big event, and it might not please everyone. Especially since it was the players who decided.
Starfield is the latest from Bethesda, the studio behind Skyrim and Fallout 4. So obviously, we were impatiently awaiting it, and in our columns, it hit the mark. It’s simple, we gave it a score of 10/10 because its space epic left an impression on us. That said, like many of his peers, he was not to everyone’s taste for various reasons. Despite this, that didn’t stop him from winning a big award at a well-known event: the 2023 Steam Awards.
Starfield has the most innovative gameplay, it’s proven
First of all, like the Game Awards 2023, Starfield has only been nominated in a very specific category. Some will say he was snubbed again, while others will find it normal. Regardless, it managed to win the “Best Innovative Gameplay” distinction, which is quite an achievement. Opposite him was Remnant 2, but also Shadows of Doubt and Contraband Police. Once again, a few players thought the competition in this section wasn’t tough, but that’ll be up to you to judge.
In any case, and as one might expect, it caused a lot of chatter in the cottages. Starfield was not unanimous in the community, and this is reflected in the comments on social networks. “ Innovative? This is probably the least innovative of all “, ” I’m pretty sure this is a joke on the part of PC gamers “, ” What did he innovate? The way to make the game as boring as possible? ”, we can read in particular on the Web. One thing is certain, they don’t take it lightly.
When we take a closer look at Starfield’s gameplay, we notice that it is a legacy of Bethesda’s classic recipe. Hence the fact that it is not really innovative, even if it is a proven formula. Is it for the gripping exploration that the players gave their voice? Or the management of our crew and our interstellar car? Or was it just a prank? It’s hard to know, but these are possibilities that should not be ruled out.
