Playing Risk of Rain 2 is like having dopamine injected straight into your veins. Or any other illicit substance you can think of. The music, the pings of the crit sounds adding up, the sound effects of items such as the ukulele piling up so satisfyingly. All the characters are unique and for the most part fun, although it comes down to preference. Unlike Binding of Isaac you can get a lot out of this game without the dlc, but after playing a bit to get a sense for the base game I'd still recommend buying it. Everything about this game is really well made and it's a lot of fun with friends or even strangers; the only thing I don't like is how long you have to wait around at the teleporter events. I'm not a fan of what you need to do leading up to the final boss either, but otherwise the game is excellent.
