Early Access Review
A few hours into the game and No Rest for the Wicked feels like a great mix of Action RPG, Soulslike and Metroidvania.

Pros
+ Classic Diablo style isometric ARPG with random loot drops
+ Weighty Soulslike combat with a great focus on challenging boss fights
+ Metroidvania style exploration with some unexpected verticality
+ Combine with an amazing, disctinct art style for something very special

Cons
- Read and heard about massive performance issues which I couldn't fully reproduce
- Crafting is currently not fully implemented but already feels like it could become a grind in the end game
- Still not sure what the purpose of creating and joining different Realms will be beyond multiplayer sessions

Sounds fun! I'm kinda scared about the performance issues tho, my rig's similar to yours. 🤔 I'll wait for some patches before I pick it up.

Sounds dope! I've been eyeing this game for a while. Performance issues are a big bummer tho, but I'm always up for a good challenge. Hope they fix that stuff soon! 🙏 Gonna keep an eye out
