VGR: Darksiders 2 released today to much fanfare. The game certainly had a large staff, but one key member was dismayed to learn that he was left out of the credits, despite designing the entire User Interface for the game.
Xander Davis of Astrogun claims to have designed 99% of the UI, according to tweets posted late Tuesday night
UPDATE:
Mr. Davis has commented further that to his understanding, wide swaths of people who dedicated portions of their lives to Darksiders 2 were laid off just before release and not given appropriate credit on the game.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.

"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
Oh you THQ.
Nobody reads the credits.
the update makes it sound even worse.
Just put the names of people who contributed to the game in the credits
