Bannerlord didn't got the most Innovative Gameplay Steam Award.
It's disappointing to me and I feel sorry for the devs.
The M&B franchise is one of a kind. Beside all the issues Bannerlord is having, it's Gameplay of combining so many different genres is truly unique. Unique enough to call it most Innovative of this year. And i completely would like to see everyone working on this game getting the honor of an award for their product.
On the other hand side i think it might be too early for such kind of praise.
we all know the game still has some rough edges. Is it actually fair to give an award to something which is having major flaws within the unique gameplay? The Job is simply not done yet.
A game called Stray won the award.
You run around as a cat. It's a 3D Plattformer with some 0 IQ Puzzles. Even monchug could easily solve them. Most of the time you spend jumping and walking around. Sometimes you push a button - that barely covers horse archer gameplay (without smithing). Gametime is 5-6h. Anyway though, the game is polished.
That being said, Bannerlord has more to offer than Stray.
Other nominees: Teardown, Neon white, Dome Keeper
Am i actually wrong? Would be cool to see what you think about it to get some general thoughts collected.
