Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game

I don’t see the pattern of a review bombing in Steam reviews… Looks like a game getting released very soon in early access and failing to gain traction.

It’s sitting on my wishlist and I’m waiting for it to get to 1.0, but their update cadence has been very slow. Now they are saying their studio does not have the funds to complete the game.

I do hope they turn this around, but as a consumer I am very wary when it comes to titles in early access, and even more when the studio goes radio silent for months.

They're not getting review bombed. Head of the studio is being hyperbolic to get people who like the game to leave positive reviews.

  Being disingenuous while asking for help is a great way to make the people who would have helped you a little too miffed =/

Yeah, 100%. “Review bombing” suggests that people are leaving disingenuous bad reviews due to some personal or political axe to grind with the developer. This just looks like a game that got a lukewarm reception, but at least the information in the article doesn’t suggest that any review bombing is occurring.

I’m a big Ori fan, and I wish Moon Studios the best. But the games market is oversaturated right now, and it’s a tough time for all indie devs. It doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is out to get them if their game isn’t an overnight success.

A reason for lack of updates are that they had a lot of other things to do, like getting independent from their publisher and promised more rapid updates in the future.
