This bowhunting game created by a Bethesda veteran plays like if you made a whole game out of Skyrim's stealth archer playstyle

The Axis Unseen is a very different sort of game to The Elder Scrolls' decadent, sprawling slices of fantasy life, but it also kind of feels like Skyrim stripped to the studs, an entire game made out of one strand of The Elder Scrolls series' DNA. No townsfolk, guilds, or celebrity voice cameos⁠—just you, a bow, a crouch-walk button, and a world full of skeleton-strewn alpine vistas and vaguely Norse creatures to hunt.

The result definitely impressed me in The Axis Unseen's first publicly...
