What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
January 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $23.99. 17 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 23 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Death Trash ($19.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Lords of the Fallen ($29.99, scores 24).
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 14 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 5,643 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 19.8 hours. Doing everything runs 46, 2.3 times as long.

What players say
Amazing game to play, the art and vfx looks amazing, the hand-painted style it´s awesome, it´s very challenging at some times and the game really treat the players like real grown ups, no constant hints, no excessive guidance, the game invite you to explore the world at your own risk and it´s amazing
Can't wait for 1.0 release. So much care and love has gone into this game.. Its beautiful, very hard at times.. But very rewarding, especially when playing online with others.
I give it a thumbs down so the devs work on the existing issues. Cons: - Extremely clunky on keyboard. The game was designed to be played on a controller. - A lot of bugs and getting stuck in textures. - The campaign feels weird in terms that you will get lost and have no clue where you have to go and end up wasting a long of time searching for the right path. I personally dont like it as its too much in this game...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).

No Rest for the Wicked scores 46/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1371980/no-rest-for-the-wickedThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 23.
