The Axis Unseen free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807810/The_Axis_Unseen/

It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

I feel like credentials such as used to work at Bethesda, aren't as good as they think they are... Or is it just me?

You shouldn't dismiss someone's 14 year career, including a game of the year, because you don't like the studio he came from.

I understood it as "they were fed up with the henhouse and proved they could do better alone".

I don't blame the devs for bad AAA games, with like 300 people working in one game, if it becomes shit it's management fault.

if they were a lead game designer or writer I would agree. but I think this guy did environmental design, and Bethesda has had pretty cool environments in their games. though not all of them are very believable (in feeling lived-in), they sure do provide some spectacle, and memorability. in fact many of their games have been mostly carried by environments.

It's just you. That a company makes terrible decisions tells not that much about a dev. If a dev says he worked on multiple projects does tell something about the dev regardless of the company. Don't forget that Bethesda sold their soul to MS and now has a lot more "steering" at the top, devs don't participate in that.

Edit: a word

Everything but starfield seemed like a plus to me

Depends on their tenure. If they're old school Bethesda, nah that's just you. The people who built the older TES games had much more skill than the people churning out schlock or the 473rd rererelease of Skyrim. The newer people, yeah that's not a feather in their cap really. Starfield is meh at best, and doesn't hold a candle to stuff like Morrowind.
