No Rest for the Wicked får ny uppdatering

Ori-skaparnas nya No Rest for the Wicked har varit ute på marknaden i runt en månad, och nu är det dags för spelet (som ännu är i sin Early Access-fas) att få en ny uppdatering. Detta blir förövrigt den andra patchen sedan spelets lanserades, och det är helt klart den största uppdateringen av de båda, med massor av förbättringar och finjusteringar. Spelare kommer som exempel kunna skräddarsy sitt eget kontrollschema när man lirar med en kontroll, och det kommer även vara möjligt att testa nya vapen man kommer över även om man inte når upp till kraven för att svinga tillhyggena på ett perfekt sätt. Patchen är ute i detta nu, och ni kan läsa samtliga uppdateringar här nedan:
