this game provides the same euphoria one would feel from shoving a fork in an outlet or throwing a toaster in a bathtub. Not only are you fighting the predators actively trying to eat you, you are also fighting yourself cause your damn sluggish cat can sometimes have the dexterity of a lobotomized squirrel. This game somehow managed to have both the most beautiful scenery and world i have seen yet at the same time i came across the most horrifyingly put-together amalgamations of human imagination which make up the ecosystem of this game The AI of the creatures in this game can be best described as a dude given 12 beers, LSD and car keys. The creatures genuinely do the stupidest shit and somehow manage to get away with it purely because you wouldn't expect them to be THAT DUMB. The amount of times I have found myself dying laughing at a creature falling out of the sky for no apparent reason, or crashing out because those same creatures falling out of the sky managed to somehow land directly on top of me, pluck me off a perfectly good pole and run off with my dead body is incredible. This game can be your greatest friend, or your worst nightmare. The world and lore are much deeper than you would expect from a game about a silly slugcat with lanky arms. Explore freely and you will eventually find what you're looking for; there are tons of different pathways and routes around the map. The game will start off confusing at first, but you will get the hang of it pretty quick. easy 11/10, and i haven't even started the dlc yet. Please play this game it is a life-changing experience

Ignore what other people say when they say this is just an adventure game. This is a Horror game. I have heart attacks around every corner of this games Huge map, and when i think im safe? Pole Plant. Its so scary but genuinely so fun, i have this love-hate relationship with this game, and its amazing.

Great game. There's not really any other game that is anything like this. Try to not look up anything that might spoil anything. The best play-through is the first. Even if you die a lot. Especially because of this. A fair warning, this game is hard. Very hard. Emphasis on this: The difficulty is part of what makes this game great. Despite this, do not play the Monk's campaign first. The Survivor is the way to go. Also, do note that it is not uncommon for most players to drop the game after a few hours. The first few hours can be harsh. But after this initial hurdle to overcome, the best part comes. This game is hard. This game is unique. This game is one the best games I have played.

The gameplay is frustrating, the lore is depressing, and the soundtrack and artwork bring a tear to the eye. This game was designed to sap all positive emotions from you while you play it and you can pry it from my cold dead hands.

I would recommend Rain World and especially its expansion to anyone that likes platformers and post-apocalyptic vibes. However, the base game with the default settings has some major issues, resulting in the time you spend being angry & frustrated, questioning why you haven't un-installed the game already, being longer than the time you are excited & impressed, which is never good. To avoid these issues, do the following: Install the “SBCameraScroll” mod from the Steam workshop. By default, the camera is not centred on your character, and instead jumps abruptly when you reach the current edge of the screen. If there is an enemy right past said edge, you won't be able to see them in time to react to their attack (and your character always dies in one hit). I can not emphasise enough how annoying it is to die this way, and this mods fixes the problem by adding a smoothly scrolling camera. As a bonus, it also creates a parallax effect in some areas, making them look even more impressive. Also install the “No Expedition Permadeath” mod, if you wish the play the expeditions game-mode (which is lots of fun). There is a lot of RNG in the game, which often leads to your death, especially for new players. If you can immediately continue playing from the last checkpoint, such RNG is a source of laughs, but if you instead lose 30 minutes / an hour / three hours of progress this way, you might never play the game again. Do yourself a favour and get rid of permadeath with this mod. For the same reason, if you wish to play the Hunter’s campaign (boring – play the DLC campaigns, expeditions, or challenges instead), you should set “Hunter Cycles” in the Remix tab to some high value, like 999. Many improvements can be unlocked through the in-game Remix tab, which allows players a lot of customisation. Feel free to experiment with it, but the two settings I always enable are “Visual breath meter” (so you actually understand when you are drowning) and “Pull spears from walls” (aiming is challenging – this way you will get another chance to throw your spear by being able to recover it). Lastly, read an online movement guide (all should be spoiler-free), as the game is awful at explaining even the basic movement controls. For example, when your character somehow enters a tunnel ass-first (which slows you down by a lot), you can press the jump key plus an arrow key to reorient yourself in the right direction. I hope this review hasn’t put you off from the game, as Rain World really is quite special once you get the hang of it - it keeps on drawing me back even after hundreds of hours of gameplay.
