No Rest For The Wicked Might Be The Next Best Souls-lite
224No Rest For The Wicked has changed everything —
Watch Next: • Nobody Told Me Dark Souls 2 Was This Hard..
Now it feels like it’s chasing its own shadow.
Boss fights, stamina bars, dodge-rolls… we’ve seen it all before.
But No Rest for the Wicked?
It might just be the first game in years to actually move the genre forward.
In this video, I dive into my first real impressions of No Rest for the Wicked — not just as a fan of Soulslikes, but as someone who's been waiting for the next evolution.
From its painterly art style to its brutal pacing, from combat to crafting to world design — this game doesn't just copy the formula. It reshapes it.
If you’ve been burned out on the formula, or if you’re just looking for something that feels new, tactile, and dangerous again… this might be the one.
Let’s talk about it.
