The Axis Unseen

This game is perfect for solo ranger style players. If you want to stalk a vast open landscape and build your skills, but don't want to have to deal with money and guilds and collecting alchemical ingredients, building a house etc.; this game is perfect for you. It's just you, your bow, the land and a wide variety of creatures to hunt through an interesting variety of environments. A really fun mix of monsters to hunt and the weapon upgrades and such are spaced out in a way that makes them fun to look for. You'll find the journals of previous occupants of the land, and that's the closest you'll get to another human being. Also, if you like those huge yard skeleton decorations, you'll love the environment. Best use of skeletons I've seen yet.

Skyrim's stealth archer build made into a monster slaying game. You listen for sound, account for wind direction, and keep count of your arrows (and its types). Fascinating world, but a largely empty one. There are no items aside from journal entries and 'powers' to collect. While there are plenty of graphical options, I wish there was a way to adjust the bloom. Some parts get too dark; too bright that it can hinder my personal enjoyment. I want to battle the monsters, not my monitor! But that's a small negative for what this game delivers. If you had a long day at work and need to unwind, consider this one. I found it worth my time. However, if you're looking for an immersive world with collectibles and NPCs to talk to, this won't be for you.

Immersive, bewildering, threatening. Sound, graphics, user interface, all is in check for people that want to explore and get into some trouble because you forgot you are also being hunted.

I actually played the demo on my xbox series x and as soon as I saw it become available on GOG, I grabbed it! It definitely has the Skyrim feel to it and looks really good, difficulty isn't too hard and combat is solid. I love the creature designs and hunting them is a blast. Now if you could release the full version on xbox too, i'll be happy :)
