Risk of Rain 2 is probably one of the best casual introductions to the rogue-lite genre while not being one. Despite how much boredom this game creates along with its issues, i am willing to recommend it to others.
My favorite part of the game is the background put together really well with its lore, art design and cast of characters. There is also a sense of bond with the player base when it comes to sharing experiences and jokes.

My main issues with the game is not fixing issues and poor balancing.
In multiplayer it is frustrating for others and yourself to play when death happens, you lose out on items. If you keep dying constantly, eventually you will be out of the game entirely, turning into a game of spectate.
The item balance is odd to me, you will come across items that are terrible, good and ones that support towards the domino effect. For example, you spawn into a map and suddenly everything is dead and will continue to be dead.
In most cases you would come across your friends and such running mods to add in quality of life changes, content and fix annoyances.
