These are some of my nitpicks in No Rest for the Wicked. As you can see, they’re all related to cutscene transitions, because the game, even in early access, is already almost perfect. To make it a true 10/10, I think these transitions need refinement.
Some scenes need camera rework, while others would benefit from an additional zoom or pan before transitioning into cutscenes. In certain moments, there’s also a frame skip where the scene jumps abruptly from one frame to another during the transition, which breaks immersion and feels like a stutter. Other transitions simply need smoother overall polishing.
I also encountered some cutscene transitions with unnecessary extra scenes, like the ones shown in the video titles. These moments would feel better if the extra scene were removed and the transition moved directly from cutscene to gameplay.
In addition, I noticed texture pop-ins and slow world loading after some cutscenes, as shown in the videos. Some scenes also have a brief one-second flicker before transitioning back into gameplay.
This isn’t necessary, but it would also be nice to see improved UI for loading screen hints, along with better loading screen images overall.
Is this game-breaking? No. But since the game is already so close to perfect, polishing these details in your free time could help make it an absolute masterpiece.
Disclaimer: I’ve already finished the game and absolutely love it. I’m only using Larry Puss’s clips so I can quickly point out and analyze these cutscene nitpicks.

Hopefully with my feedback, everytime you add something in the game, this type of nitpicks problems don’t add up.
