Balatro has replaced this as my current roguelike so I'll mark this finished for now even though I might come back to it eventually. I wasn't compelled to go for the 100% but I did get to 90% after almost 50 hours and I can say that this game took over my life for some time. The original Risk of Rain holds a special place for me as the first roguelike that I really got into. It's my favorite genre and I'm happy that Risk of Rain Returns improved the original pretty much in every way possible. I love the better pixel art, the updated soundtrack, the new characters, skills, items, etc. One memorable moment for me was when I won my first run and I got to hear the choir rendition of the main theme that plays during the credits, it felt so... right. So yeah, I really really liked it. One of these days I'll finally try Risk of Rain 2...
