Player-Powered Scores: Ori Creator Unveils a New Review Aggregator

Thomas Mahler, lead developer of Moon Studios and director of No Rest for the Wicked, launched VideoGamesCritic, a score-aggregating site that weighs two-thirds of scores from players (via Steam reviews) and uses trust-based math to downweight critics and reflect game updates over time, claiming to reveal how players actually feel; critics argue the method exposes Mahler’s biases and simply shifts the bias from critics to players.

Moon Studios Boss: Game Pass Could Work If Xbox Delivered the Big Hits

Moon Studios chief Thomas Mahler argues Game Pass could have succeeded, but Xbox failed to deliver enough standout first-party hits and incentives for developers. He likens subscription models to Communism—only sustainable if content quality is consistently high—and points to Starfield as evidence of a gap between what fans want and what Xbox delivers, all amid broader studio turmoil and layoffs.

The studio cites parity rules and memory limits as the main blockers, notes there’s no exclusivity deal, and aims to ship a solid port for console players after extensive optimization.

Moon Studios says No Rest for the Wicked will cost $60 when Version 1.0 leaves Steam Early Access, with the game currently on a 40% off sale (about $23.99). Creative Director Thomas Mahler explains the price hike reflects a premium-title price and that early supporters deserve extra love, contrasting his approach with Baldur's Gate 3's Early Access pricing.

Moon Studios has indicated that their upcoming action-RPG Soulslike, No Rest for the Wicked, will likely be released on PlayStation 5 first due to current market conditions, with Xbox support possibly coming later. The decision is influenced by the higher sales and market share of PS5 compared to Xbox, despite the studio's history with Xbox and the size of their team. The game will eventually be available on all platforms, but not simultaneously.
