Imo it's not GOTY but it's not cyberpunk. It's almost like one of those giant assassins creed games but with actual depth and interesting lore? I actually want to continue playing and taking my time with the game. But I think BG3 or TOTK will take GOTY this year. I could see people playing this game for a long time. I do think it's premature to judge given the amount of time I've had with the game, I haven't done shipbuilding, outpost building, modding, crafting, cooking, or alien powers yet. I can't even pickpocket! lol. What you've heard of it being a slow burn is very true.
