How recent is this? The reviews seem to be really good, 75% recommend as of now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/

But more importantly, it’s early access. Wouldn’t you expect some healthy criticism in the reviews for an unfinished product? I’d even say 75% is exceptionally good for an EA game.

Or, has the plea for positive reviews already worked? In that case, that would be even closer to review bombing, because you earned those positive reviews by mass appealing to guilt/pity…

I hate calling. I also hate when someone calls me with important info. Bro just give me a well written overview, with ordered lists and shit, so I have a single source of truth to have as reference later, and can serve as a basis for our future discussions.

You know what would gather even more interest? Games not running like shit on native resolution.

Giving currency for free: giving people real money isn’t something any dev wants to deal with, so giving in game currency allows this to happen. This also applies to games where you can convert free currency to premium currency.

But this is how gift codes work, no? You’re not giving money away directly. Just give a voucher for a real currency if you want to gift users.

Hmmm… Or, or, hear me out: what about you’re some guy in some mysterious place, but here comes the best part: this time you have amnesia and you must shoot guns at monsters to uncover the truth?

Hell yeah! I really recommend this game, if a surreal horror roguelike FPS with procedurally generated dungeons sounds interesting. There are some really interesting mechanics there, like being able to eat your weapons to gain an effect. In fact, you can eat everything you can hold. In a pickle? Eat your map and hope for some healing. Or you might catch on fire.

Wow, it is… Look at the staff being held at the left by two monsters, one in the background and the other in the foreground.

Literally why?? It’s so obvious slop too. Shame.

They should apologize for their insensitivity

90% of people can still be wrong.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was one of the defining games of my childhood. It was the first decent platformer I played on PC, I love the theme. And the OST is a banger.

Bring back Jazz Jackrabbit! I wonder how it would do today as a more hardcore metroidvania platformer…

GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can’t blame them for leaning into it. I’m not interested anyway.

only? 30-40 hours is still pretty damn long …

Because most of the users don’t know how to turn that shit off in AAA games. It’s often just defaults to being on, no?

Also I thought DLSS is supposed to help with underspecced PC-s to help run modern games. So this is a self burn in a way, either RTX cards are not as performant as hoped, or the AAA games sector is just fucked, as they cannot for the life of them pump out an optimized game.

But the engine is shit. Threat Interactive on YouTube have done some awesome rendering analysis on UE5 games and engine features which I highly recommend to watch. But it’s the industry standard now in AAA space, sadly, for exactly the reason you mentioned.

Perfect timing, as Cassette Beasts is in this month’s Humble Choice as well!

This kid is gonna get rich if they stick to it

That’s subjective, depends on what you expect from a game. Personally I love them because I just like learning, mastering and beating a system. Others might value a narrative or social aspects of gaming more, and that’s allright.

They do be saying that life imitates art
