Arc Raiders.

Your criticism can't hurt Arc Raiders' art director Robert Sammelin, as his child has already been his biggest critic.

"And everyone had an idea of something fantastical, sci-fi leaning, because it's comfortable, everyone likes it, but it's also a challenge to carve out your own [path]."
