This game is currently in the Humble Choice for June 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before July 2nd, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A strange sequel.
Risk of Rain was a sidescrolling rogue-lite with tiny graphics that was amazing, Risk of Rain 2 is a third-person rogue-lite and while it’s a similar game, and I can see the original here, thus doesn’t feel like a sequel… This is so much better. In Risk of Rain 2, you’re running through multiple vibrant worlds, hunting treasure chests, finding the damnable teleporter that will take you to the next world, and fighting a boss while it charges up. All of this was in the original.
But if you ever played the original, you probably know this is different. There are so many beautiful worlds, multiple fleshed-out classes, interesting enemies, tons of combat here, and a freedom of movement that feels like a massive upgrade. There’s multiplayer that works very well, though I think it is harder than single-player. There are also tons of items to find.
Which is also one issue I have. The game doesn’t tell you what an item does, so quite often you’ll have to use a mod to show that or look online for info. I also got stuck twice while playing for over ten minutes in two different levels hunting for the teleporter that I couldn’t find. Even knowing what to look for didn’t help. Also, I struggled with the multiplayer but devastated the single-player, and maybe that’s a mod issue, but it did seem easier in a single-player.
Pick this up if you like rogue-lites, if you are going to play with friends, I can tell you this is a lot of fun, and I’ve had a group of four that I’ve played with multiple times. While playing this solo on stream this is the first time I remember winning so… yeah maybe it’s easier solo.

Fun gameplay with lots of different characters and builds, the timed aspect of it makes it more interesting so you don`t stand around for too long. Great game overall!
wowiee!!! I love infinite gameplay loops!!!!
Não importa o quão forte eu esteja, minhas mãos sempre vão tremer na luta do Mithrix
i love playing as the guy with the grapple hook and the punching arms. i could just swing around all day as him. weeeeee. even though this game is fast and cool, something about the movement just feels too slow/static or something. i dunno.

This game is just too fun. The music is amazing and the characters are interesting.
It's fun being a god.

te amo
Here's to hoping Gearbox doesn't grease this one up.
The most RAW fun I've ever had in a video game, outside of maybe Terraria. This game makes my neurons fire so powerfully in so many acute ways that no other game can. I got it on release and played so much that I gave myself some kind of strain injury for the first time in my life. If this shit existed when I was a kid it'd easily be my favorite game of all time, but now it sits as one of my current favorites as an endless source of fun
fix your damn servers
Certain characters are just outright better than others. But overall, it’s so fun. So much build variety and so many modifiers to fool around with.
jogo bom musica excepcional caralhoooo
Literally one of the best games I have ever played.
the best roguelike
Best game ever made don't @ me.
Roguelike muito viciante.
Tiro, porrada e bomba em uns aliens "cartoonescos".

And his music was electric...
maneirinho mas acho que tenho coiso com roguelike
objectively terrible
fun alone, and fun with friends, timeless game.
also chris the goat.

peak multiplayer
Maybe it's just not being used to 3D roguelikes and playing with friends who were already experienced with the game, but I mostly just felt confused when playing. Avoiding damage seems much more difficult than I expect, and loot being per player feels rough. Will likely need to re-visit it solo to give it a fair shake.
ROGUELIKE É BOM DEMAIS E ESSE SABE SER UM
chris christodoulou makes my fucking booty move...............
this game has everything you could ever want in a roguelike game: amazing survivors, interesting items, memorable enemies, unique modifiers to your run (artifacts), beautifully designed environments, and THE MUSIC IS FUCKING PHENOMENAL. i come back to this game so often and i am STILL learning new things about it. this game has so many unique gimmicks and features it is practically endless.

Rogue like avec une ambiance unique, les ost et paysage sont superbes. Arsenal immense.
very good but sadly needs mods nd dlc to reach its full potential
not only the best rougelike game ever but arguably the best spiderman game ever (love u loader)
