This review contains spoilers

Ever since using Backloggd, I've begun taking mental notes while playing games for my reviews; I planned to bicker about difficulty and how frustrating Rain World is and take a stab at the vague ending as it first began, though as the final moments of the game unraveled (Ascension) I was gripped on a visceral level. I've never had anyone or anything understand my own experience of existentialism and how it's haunted me, Rain World is the first and only experience where I saw something so deeply apart of my mind be shown to me. It's indescribable, it's a violation and a comfort to have my mind exposed to myself like that. This game would have been a 3.5-4.5/5 if not for something so special, the ending brought out an appreciation not present before for the entirety of the experience.
