Starfield, innovative? They took fallout 4 mixed it with no man's sky and made it bad.

Idunno if it's what you meant but this comment could read like "They took a dumpster fire, poured it into a septic tank, and then added something unpleasant" ๐Ÿ˜… Seems Fallout 4 isn't much-loved, and at least in my mind NMS is never gonna escape the shitstorm it caused at launch (though even I've bought a copy by now) so... owch!

Either way, I fully agree that possibly the most despised-for-being-dull game of the year getting called "innovative" is asinine. Maybe it's sarcastic? The only other option that makes any sense is that a lot of people just voted for it because they knew the name and had no real opinion. Kinda gross if that's the case :-\

NMS at least is working on its redemption and now game is at least decent and has entertainment value. Sure it's a bit grindy but to those who love exploration it's a gift.

It's just as innovative as fellow Most Innovative award laureate Stray's automatically- jump-to-a-highlighted-platform style of platforming with crappy stealth sections.
