When No Rest for the Wicked was released in Early Access, there was excitement, bt it wasn't without issue. Initially, the game had a staggeringly unsteady frame rate and other technical issues — which is to be expected from a game in Early Access. But developer Moon Studio has rolled out patch after patch, rectifying these issues and more or less changing the game over a series of weeks. I had the opportunity to play No Rest for the Wicked in its earlier stages, marred by frame drops and freezes, and more recently, as the game itself has evened out. And what I’ve found lies beneath is a game that blends the isometric and action RPG genres together in a tantalizing way that could shape up to be something exciting, even if it isn’t exactly original.

Anticipated roguelike sequel Hades II was announced back in 2022, and we knew an early access launch was coming sometime in mid-2024, but a specific release date hadn’t been provided by developer Supergiant Games.

To celebrate its second launch week anniversary, Moon Studios releases its first Early Access patch for No Rest for the Wicked, a massive update that addresses performance concerns, bug fixes, quality of life updates, and much more.

The release of No Rest For the Wicked wasn't as smooth as many had hoped, however, with various issues both on the technical side and certain gameplay mechanics as well.

Between Palworld, Helldivers 2, and now Manor Lords, it’s been a year of games coming out of left field and achieving runaway success.

Fans of the acclaimed Ori games may have to wait a long time for the next entry in the franchise. The last game in the series, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, was released in 2020 by developer Moon Studios, who recently launched its new action-RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, in Early Access for PC. For this brand-new IP, the studio is committed to a longer support cycle.

Even after beating the base game, still has a lot to offer for those who aren't ready to say goodbye to the world of Hyrule. Often considered one of the best games of all time, the action and adventure of the first-ever 3D title have inspired many titles since its release. Even after Ganon's defeat, there are still many activities you can pursue.

The previously announced PlayStation 4 version is seemingly no longer planned. A new demo is also available.
