I don't really write much reviews but I had to write one specifically for this game.
Honestly when I first started this game, I wasn't really expecting much since I pretty much did not know anything about this game and these are not my genre of games that I typically play. I try not to spoil as much as possible, but this game was such an experience
In Rain World, you are playing as a slugcat and got put into this cruel world with everything wants to kill you. You are living in an ecosystem and you are just part of cycle along with everyone else. This game is unfair, I mean REALLY unfair. This game don't give two shits about you and does not hold your hand. It doesn't even teach you some mechanics later in the game that you need to learn travel into other areas. You have to learn that yourself.
I won't lie in the beginning it was quite slow and I didn't really know what I was doing. This made me almost quit the game entirely but I persevered up until I got to the first gateway of the game and I was starting to really get into it.
The visuals and graphical style are really well done in this game and is extremely pleasant to look at. Some games don't really execute the pixel art style very well but this game does it really well and it mixes well with the atmosphere and tone of the different areas and regions throughout the entire game.
The creatures and enemies are really creative in this game, they all have really unique designs and have different quirks and AI patterns. What I love about this game is that you are not specifically getting targeted by the enemies even if it feels like it. They are all just trying to survive in this cruel world and live just like you the player. They are all part of the ecosystem and in the cycle so you are not the only that is having a hard time. While this is cool and all but sometimes it can be very bullshit and you better pray that RNG doesn't fuck you up that a lizard or some shit waiting to ambush you.
The movement is also really unique and niche and I've probably never seen in another game. While with that in mind, its quite 50/50. Sometimes it can cooperate with you and perform what you want it do. But on the other hand it can be very bullshit and makes you want to throw your monitor out of the window. Even with that though I think its still a really good movement system with its flaws as well.
The developers in my personal opinion really nailed the difficulty of this game. It has a lot of bullshit and hard parts but just the right amount of challenge for you not to quit. While I did say this, they are just some areas of the game that I consider to be just pure bullshit and just terrible game design, While I'm not going to name them because you should really just experience this game completely blind.
Saying that, the best way to experience this game is definitely going on it completely blind. While it was for sure frustrating and I think I definitely lost my sanity while playing this game, I really recommend to finish this game up until the end because the payoff is absolutely fucking worth it. Makes all the struggle and suffering worth it in my opinion. An advice I can give is to just explore as much as possible because this game kind of falls into what I like to call "invisible progression" where you don't really know if you are actually progressing through the game so it can be very discouraging for new players starting out in this game. But, remember every region or area you are exploring in this game, you are progressing and don't worry about it too much.
Overall, what do I think of the game? Well, it definitely left me a changed person in the end that's for sure. If you don't think this is the game for you because it is frustrating or too difficult then that's okay. This game is not for everyone as a lot of people said but give this game at least a chance and a few hours and you might just love it like I did.
