No Rest for the Wicked

“No Rest for the Wicked is still in the early days of the update, but it tells you a lot about the developers, specifically how they listen to player feedback and how they are committed to improving the experience—a sight we all love to see. If you've been on the fence about the game or haven't really been in the loop since launch, now is the perfect time to step back in the pool to see what's new and what resonates with you.”

“It’s tough to say for sure who No Rest For The Wicked is for at the moment. It’s an odd mix of genres with an uneven balance.”

“A great first appearance for No Rest for the Wicked, especially on strong enough PCs. A beautiful, intriguing and mesmerising game that revels in supreme artistic vision while offering a gameplay style that mixes and merges the best of the genre into something quite unique. It’ll be really interesting to follow the future development of the game and to see where the stories will go over time. We can’t wait to experience further beautiful graphics and fun combat!”

“However, all of the positives are groundwork for what could be a really exciting game. Its core gameplay has proven to be more than satisfactory and deliciously engaging — even if using slower builds feels like throwing yourself against a brick wall. But there’s still enjoyment in that. Overall, it’s a fantastic package comprised of gorgeous environments, room for experimentation in terms of character build and an interesting narrative. It will be interesting to see where No Rest for the Wicked ends up, even a week, month, or years from now.”

“No Rest For The Wicked seems like the next big thing in the souls-like genre if it gets the fixes it promptly needs.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is a very promising title with difficult but fun gameplay. The world level design and style make it a unique and fascinating game. However, it still presents too much technical wizardry that makes it difficult to play. However, I am hopeful that early access will greatly help the title solve all its problems and then release on consoles in a big way. I will return to the review very gladly when the game is released, confident that I can raise the rating a lot. If Moon Studios continues to work this way then No Rest for the Wicked could indeed be remembered by many as one of the most important games of the next few years.”

“No Rest for The Wicked is an immersive experience that invites you to become a part of its world, to make choices that have far-reaching consequences, and to discover the true meaning of heroism in the face of adversity.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is a game that truly deserves the label 'promising'. There is no denying the exceptional quality of its art and the quality of its action gameplay, but the negative experience caused by errors in numerical balance and system design completely undermine the excellent impression left by its other aspects.”

“No Rest for the Wicked isn't bad - in fact, there's so much potential in this mishmash of genres that it's worth keeping an eye on. At this stage, however, there are a lot of rough edges to smooth over.”

“Moon Studios is already well on its way to delivering a five-star game with challenging Soulslike combat, a dark fairy tale world, and an addictive gameplay loop.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is a compelling and unique action-RPG with a lot going for it, and lots of room still to grow.”

“I’ll be checking the game out constantly as it progresses through early access. Right now I’m not having nearly as much fun as I was hoping. Gorgeous visuals, occasionally stellar combat, and an intriguing narrative have been held back by progression issues, and far too much busywork in-between runs. I have confidence that Moon Studios will figure things out, though, and that by version 1.0 this game could be an all-timer.”

“While it has downsides and requires various quality-of-life fixes, No Rest for the Wicked has great potential to be an excellent blend of ARPGs and Soulslikes in 1.0.”
