Mesmerizing. If I had to sum up Moon Studios' first game with just one word, that would be it. Ori and the Blind Forest was a wonderful undertaking back in 2015, as a drop dead gorgeous 2D Metroidvania game that was as smart as it was stylish. As far as debut projects go, Moon Studios set its sights high, and, backed by Microsoft, lived up to its name with something that was out of this world. Its 2020 sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, improved on the original formula in just about every way – so much so that I'd have happily taken another Ori-styled offering as the creator's third multiplatform venture.
Instead, we have No Rest For the Wicked. And, my goodness, am I glad Moon Studios has pushed itself even further, spreading its tendrils deep into the Soulslike action RPG space.
