I can't speak much to the CRPG genre, I don't play them that much. Too difficult aldough I am enjoying BG3 but am far from the end. Middle of act 2 and in no hurry to rush to the end. So, I am more familiar with Bethesda, Bioware and Ubi RPG's. I think many gamers complain due to the familiarity of those games together with craving that familiarity simultaniously. I have played Starfield for about 40 hours and not much new under the sun. It feels like skyrim in space but more downgraded then their privious games. In hindsight, for me personally its not worth the current price. Its max a 30€ game with the knowledge you can mod it like crazy in future. Personally, I would like the old Bioware back, but that is never going to happen. Bioware is history.
