It's a tale as old as the game industry itself: The company releases an okay game, everyone goes "hell yeah, a solid 7/10". ...except by now everyone expects the company to make nothing but absolute masterpieces.

It's an okay game with lots of little janky bits I don't like (surprising in sense that I of course expected there to be some jank, this is Bethesda we're talking about). The game seems to be amusing enough that I enjoy my time while playing it, but it doesn't have the magic sauce that would make me eagerly get back to the game the next day.
