No Rest for the Wicked

나는 플스에 GTA6가 출시해도 10월달에 출시하는 노 레스트 포 더 위키드를 할 것이다.

Honestly, a pleasant surprise. That's my first time playing something so wonderfully combined: souls-like, a bit of diablo, a bit of a survival game elements and yet when you'll play it, you won't be able to say that this is a knockoff, a cliche or anything like that. The combat is great, difficult but great (if you enjoy souls-type games at least), the animations and the style of the game are genuinely unique, the story (which is not finished yet) also seems intriguing, so you most likely won't run into a problem that Crimson Desert had (basically not understanding what, why and how, and these questions stopping to matter after an hour). The devs seem cool and pretty down-to-earth, they answer questions in their discord channel and get ready... they actually listen. Sure there are problems within the game, like optimization or a few mechanics some people may not like, but nothing that'll make you THAT bothered. And remember, i'm writing this while it's still in an early access, so it's probably a bit early to judge, but there were yet no moments when i would doubt the future of the game. Also iirc it WILL have more big updates, patches and even simple fixes, so i think this might be it guys, we might have found gold.

游戏里面的小怪都特别恶心，推个图能死100次。没地方休息传送点也要刷材料开，各种东西都要刷材料开

After finishing Ori and the Will of the Wisps, I decided to try out Moon Studios' next game, which is this one. While I'm not much of a Souls-like combat fan, this game has certainly become an exception for me. The various other systems like fishing, house management, cooking, and more, working together in order to create an amalgamation of life simulation and action RPG has me intrigued. The fact that the map changes overtime really makes me think the world is very much alive and evolving whether you're playing or not. The inclusion of having daily and weekly bounties also give a different experience in tandem with the ever-changing environment. And I can't talk Moon Studios without mentioning their unique art style and amazing music in each of their works, they do have a mastery in having consistent art. They did not miss on the last two games they released, they wouldn't miss in this one as well. And the music, it always set the vibes of what's happening so beautifully, whether it's peaceful ambience while running around or an action-packed battle theme. Overall, I think this game will do well when they fully release. I very much have faith in it.

단순한 ARPG 장르를 넘어서 멋진 스토리와 조작감까지 잡은 웰메이드 작품. 개선할 점이 많이 보이지만 그래도 재미있다.

I haven't played a lot, but not really impressed with what I've seen. Super weird art direction (monkey-like bodies, wtf is with those super long arms). A bit janky controls (k+m) and irritating platforming, I died mostly to falling off the cliff since you can't turn your camera around to see where you're going. Fighting was OK I guess? nothing spectacular, but maybe it's better in late game. Which I won't reach for now, since the game bored me a bit. I liked the overall atmosphere though. I will pick it again at 1.0 release (which has been delayed by 6 months), and update my review then. For now I'd recommend to keep it on the wishlist. Mind that there will be save wipe on 1.0 release and also some major class system rework, so for me it's not worth investing time in this game for now.

魂系地图设计，本质刷子游戏，还行

I'm enjoying the game for what it is - a classless ARPG where i can build characters the way i want. After nearly 180 hours, I have achieved what i set out to achieve twice - my characters being able to solo final bosses at the hardest difficulty. What I am most sad about: The save wipe then 1.0 comes about. I will miss my characters and realms. I really hope there is some way we can still play the "legacy early access" game while still playing the new one. What i dont like: The game has random crashes, disconnects, loading errors and weird character actions. I hate the progress circle when fishing. It is tiny and should be on the fish and not on the character. I dont like that we cant cancel actions like fishing or mining mid way. there is no key for that so you are caught "pants down" if an enemy comes. I dont like that there is also no parry or block indicator and that all enemies are so different that it would take too long to learn for the casual dad player like me. I dont like bugs using radiant embers and the exaltation system. sometimes pants only upgrade to crit chance of 4 max. while it should be 5. sometimes exalting takes it to 5 then it cant go to 6 when you use your radiant ember. Just wasted the radiant ember which is EXTREMELY hard to find. I also dont like that the game has performance spikes especially when there are 4 people with heavy elemental damage. That lag can be the deciding factor between a loss and win. Items should also have a lock system but i think the devs are on to that already. What i like: Classless character building. Beautiful worlds. Great story. Every weapon has a different animation, style, character and runes. SO awesome. A discord community which I can trade items with especially when items like radiant embers are so hard to come by. Fast loading between levels. Playing daily with my friends! TLDR: I would build more characters with different weapons and armour sets if radiant and essence ember drops were not so bad. Overall, as a casual dad player with two kids and a job, I enjoy this game very much but cant see myself putting 1000 hours into it. The "real" story actually begins AFTER you hit max level on your character. Then you can build it correctly and the way you want. Great for players like me who enjoy games with a great story yet with freedom of build. Sad that the devs are changing this.
