Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game

Anyone play it? I generally don’t buy early access, but the Ori games were great and I’ll probably like this too.

I have a love/hate relationship with ARPGs. I love games like Ys, Zelda, and Dark Souls, but I don’t like loot based games like Diablo II, and it seems like ARPGs either go hard on loot or largely avoid it. This looks like the second case, but I’d hate to get a few hours in and realize I need to manage loot for decent progression.

I’ve played it and really enjoyed it. Despite getting advertised as an ARPG, it’s really not. It’s more like dark souls but with random loot. The gameplay is very slow and methodical, and it’s very difficult. Managing loot isn’t that bad, I just went with whatever I found and didn’t have to worry too much about finding the perfect weapons/armor.

  Awesome. If it’s more combat focused than stats focused, I’ll probably like it.
  
  I really don’t understand the ARPG genre, it’s almost less helpful than having no genre marker at all.

    Loot is a part of it but you can upgrade whatever to whatever item level and change stats (randomly) so finding the perfect item is not needed. Just get whatever works for you.

I’ve played it. Artwork is beautiful, but controls are wonky, hard to get used to on PC, and the gameplay unnecessarily punishing. It doesn’t feel good to play.

  Do you think it would feel better w/ controller? I’d probably play on the Steam Deck.
