It is a good game that could have been a great game. They lost a lot of time in development when they had to retool, and I think the uncertainty over playability added to the overall hype cycle, with the assumption that it would be a complete dud. The sales performance and fan base surprised a lot of people, but there is a lot of room between abject failure and game of the year. I still enjoy it immensely, but it isn't the masterpiece that Skyrim is.

Cool, hopefully it gets better over time and Bethesda takes the criticism to heart on whatever project they make next.
Starfield is a fun enough game but it could have been a lot better and a lot less tedious to navigate both in menus and in space.
