No Rest for the Wicked is the new project from Moon Studios, the team behind Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel -- and it looks as beautiful as you'd expect. It's a top-down action RPG set in the year 841, in a kingdom that's just lost its king. His arrogant and inexperienced son has taken over, and the Pestilence is sweeping the land. The turmoil has led a powerful religious leader to expand her influence in the region, and groups on the fringes are fighting for control wherever they can. You play as a holy warrior called a Cerim, imbued with magic and destined to fight the Pestilence.

"No longer were there individual destinies; only a collective destiny, made of plague and emotions shared by all." Many more people in Japan can identify that quote now than would have been the case two months ago. In 1947, when Albert Camus' novel "The Plague" first appeared, it was interpreted allegorically. World War II had shattered the world. A plague seemed an all-too-fitting metaphor for man's bleak fate among the ruins.
