So it seems Starfield is fairly in style, yeah? Though it’s obtained some fairly good scores, it’s in no way excellent. Nevertheless, no matter criticism individuals have, it hasn’t stopped Bethesda’s new launch from being nominated for a number of awards.

Over on GamesRadar, voting for the Golden Joystick Award 2023 has begun. Right here, you’ll get an opportunity to determine which video games of this yr (and earlier than) had been your favourite. Classes embody Finest Storytelling, Studio of the 12 months, Finest Indie Sport, Nonetheless Enjoying Award, and extra.

After all, being probably the most hyped video games of this era, Starfield has numerous recognitions. For this yr’s GJA, the sci-fi RPG has been nominated for Finest Audio, Finest Visible Design, and Xbox Sport of the 12 months.

Be aware: not ‘Sport of the 12 months’ general

No one can be stunned that Starfield is being acknowledged within the trade. Nevertheless, it’s fascinating to notice that it isn’t below the PC Sport of the 12 months class. This might be as a result of it’s an Xbox unique, nevertheless it did launch on PC as properly.

As for it being the perfect Xbox recreation, it’s going up towards the likes of the Bethesda-published Hello-Fi Rush, the remake of Useless House, and Obsidian’s text-heavy medieval launch Pentiment (which I voted for as a result of I’m pretentious like that).

Starfield itself has been obtained fairly favorably, with it at the moment displaying a reasonably stable Metacritic rating of 86 and 84 on PC and Xbox, respectively. Nevertheless, as time marches on, individuals are starting to see the cracks, so perhaps it gained’t have the legacy Skyrim retains to at the present time.
