Rain World is a survival platformer set in an abandoned industrial environment ravaged by a shattered ecosystem. Bone-crushingly intense rains pound the surface, making life as we know it almost impossible. The creatures in this world hibernate most of the time, but in the few brief dry periods they go out in search of food.

Dont give up on this game. Power through and let the story unfold
I just don't know what to feel about this game. It's unique, that's for sure.
Art direction is flawless, from the environnement to the creature designs, the subtle use of light and the overall ambiance. The way this whole world lives and how it's inhabitants move and behave can honestly be quite captivating.
It's cool to be thrown into the game and having to learn everything, but after 20~h into it and having seen 99% of the map and bestiary based on the wiki, I feel like i've seen it all ? But also seeing people in steam reviews having more than 1000h in this makes me feel like I'm missing something ??
I love exploration in videogames, but here I just feel too lost, too frail, constantly. The controls are a bit janky because of the way everything moves, and you can die again and again and again at the same spot without really having the time to learn what your mistakes were because everything happens so quickly. Some instances are more frustrating than others, and I understand that it does contributes the atmosphere of the game, but ultimately you just pass from one area to the other without feeling like you really achieved anything.
This game is deep and complex, lots of hidden mechanics, it's a really impressive work in itself but it lacks strong, definite objectives and rewards for me to really enjoy playing it.
This game is both really fascinating, and at the same time I feel like it does zero effort to make me like it.
(To be honest, some of the stuff I said might just be that this is a survival game, and I guess I was expecting it to be closer to a metroidvania or something.)

Beautiful game with so much to see and explore but by god is it stressful
this game is the closest thing to a horror game my weak little heart will ever be able to handle and i loved every second of it
perfectly captures that feeling of being small and weak in a world full of things out to get you. the spritework is some of the most beautiful i've seen in a game in a long time and the soundtrack is phenomenal. only gripe with it is how luck-dependent some segments can be, sucks when you get screwed over by a lack of spear spawns & enemies conveniently standing right in the one spot you need to pass through

Rain World is a beautiful, fascinating, and incredibly frustrating game. You play as this little slugcat creature trying to survive in a harsh, unforgiving world. The atmosphere is amazing, and the creature design is awesome, but oh my god, it's brutal! Controls take some getting used to, dying is super common, and half the time I had no clue what to do. Yet, there's something weirdly compelling about it. If you crave a unique challenge with zero hand-holding, maybe give it a shot.
the art is just incredible and i really wanted to dig deep on this one, but it just didn't click.
