Is No Rest for the Wicked worth a punt on early access, or should you wait for the full release?https://www.vg247.com/is-no-rest-for-the-wicked-worth-a-punt-on-early-access-or-should-you-wait-for-the-full-releaseJim TrincaSun, 12 May 2024 13:21:49 +0000https://www.vg247.com/is-no-rest-for-the-wicked-worth-a-punt-on-early-access-or-should-you-wait-for-the-full-releaseMoon StudiosNo Rest for the Wicked (2024)FantasySingle PlayerExplorationRPG: Hack & SlashRPGRPG: ActionHack & SlashThird personNarrative / Story DrivenXbox Series X/SMultiplayer CooperativeAction AdventurePS5Private DivisionStory RichPC

I have mixed feelings about the early access model. It’s a great way for studios to get projects off the ground, a much needed part of the funding mix in an age of ballooning budgets and perilously long development cycles. But as a consumer, you’re essentially paying to be a play tester. So while I’m glad it exists as one of the ways to get games made in the first place, I find it deeply unattractive as a proposition.
