Key Takeaways:
- The game features a beautiful world with engaging exploration and secrets to discover.
- The combat in the game is challenging but rewarding, requiring both skill and good gear.
- The itemization is simple and easy to understand, with interesting cursed items.
- Despite some bugs, the game runs smoothly overall.
Performance Issues and Lack of Key Rebinding
One of the main issues players have experienced is performance problems. While MrLlamaSC hasn’t encountered any issues himself, many players have reported high system requirements and poor optimization. Additionally, the lack of key rebindings is a surprising oversight in a modern game.
The Frustration of No Pause Function
Another frustrating aspect of the game is the absence of a pause function. While players can access their inventory and potions during combat, they can’t pause the game to strategize or manage their buffs. This can lead to frustrating deaths and a sense of helplessness.
The Difficulty of Early Game and Inventory Management
MrLlamaSC mentions that the game’s early stages are incredibly difficult, almost to the point of being unfair. Players are thrown into high-level areas right from the start, making progression challenging. Additionally, inventory management is a struggle due to limited space and the distant location of the stash chest.
The Issue of Durability and Timers
The durability system in the game has received mixed feedback. While it adds a layer of realism, it becomes frustrating when resource farming equipment constantly breaks. The fall damage in the game is also disproportionately high, leading to frequent accidental deaths. Furthermore, the building projects in the game have real-world timers, which feels out of place and reminiscent of mobile games.
Confusion and Lack of Guidance
MrLlamaSC mentions that the game lacks clear guidance in the early stages, making it difficult to find important locations such as the stash chest and gear upgrade vendors. The town of Sacrament is massive and easy to get lost in, leading to frustration and wasted time.
In conclusion, MrLlamaSC believes that despite its flaws, No Rest for the Wicked has the potential to be a gem of a game. Its beautiful world, challenging combat, and interesting itemization make it an engaging experience. However, the developers need to address the performance issues, improve inventory management, and provide clearer guidance to enhance the overall enjoyment of the game.
