It's like every clickbait gaming website whenever a new MMO game drops and they call it the WoW-killer for the umpteenth time in the past 15 years.

Flashbacks from the advertising for The Outer Worlds, and IGN calling it the "Bethesda-killer"

The true Bethesda killer was Bethesda themselves

If anything is a "Bethesda-killer", it's games like Outer Wilds, not The Outer Worlds.

Lol that comparison was also going through my head. I remember it being a fun game though, more than any Bethesda games from the past decade or so, but frankly that bar wasn't really high either.
