This game is a virtual experiment to see how much the human mind will endure before peeling itself. This game is how it FEELS to be prey. You arent the strong one here. you are but another part of the cycle of life and death. When other reviews say its hard please believe them. Ok jokes aside honest thoughts: this game is very infuriating and I looked up a lot of stuff. after looking stuff up and better understanding how to play im actually quite having fun. So this game is NOT. I REPEAT. NOT for the weak willed. It is a rage game in a way. Ive restarted because i got into a stupid situation once. So please if your ready to endure torture give it a whirl. Then look things you dont understand up after youve tried enough. then keep going. this is a game of endurance and time management. I reccomend but if you cant handle a rage game or have a tendancy to rage quit i reccomend playing something else. the world is cool and the concept unique. Its fun and I havent beaten it yet but I reccomend if your willing to endure the pain for the pay off the beauty of its world.

Where the hell am I? Where the hell should I go? Oooh, a new place! I am so lost. I died to the SAME LIZARD AGAIN? Buddhism. Purchase the game if these are the thoughts that you want to have while playing a video game.

Looking back, marketing for this game is abysmal. I get that you want to get in touch with your community, but as far as I am concerned, this game deserved far better marketing than what we got so it could have touched people outside of its demographic circle and I'm gonna try to do that for my friends that still have not played it. Rain World is a 2D survival platformer where you're playing as the lowest of the food chain trying to survive a wildlife that has outlasted its cycle of life while making sense of a long lost world in ruin and your life in it. It will not be easy. You won't fully understand what you're doing at first. You will get lost and die a lot by the most spine-chilling and cortisol-inducing creatures you have ever seen. You WILL find it unfair. And that's because it is, your odds at succeeding are really small. It's not a conventional game by any means, a lot of its story themes and game mechanics might seem cryptic at first, the control scheme is weird (but you get used to it after some time) and ennemies are moving in a kind of erratic and unpredictable way. I really like all of this to be honest, might be one of the only games out there that literally says "♥♥♥♥ it we ball" by design. And yet, all of that is contrasted by the most beautifully crafted and heartbreakingly rich fictionnal universe in sync with the fantastic gems and colossal amounts of soundtracks, absolutely massive interconnected map, insane procedural animations, deep movement mechanics and item interaction systems, and pixel art visuals a game could ever have. Rain World is simply put, my favorite game of all time. At its core, it is disguised as a live action roleplaying nature documentary with lots of advanced tech for experienced players... But you will get better and get through it and when you start to peel its layers, you will realise that deep down, it is in fact about surviving loss, enduring hardships and friendships, what you can (or cannot) make of it and the beauty of it all. I have basically done everything and anything this game, its DLCs (and its modding community) could ever offer and I still come back to it from time to time to immerse myself in its mysterious and beautiful world. One thing I also get from other people is that: it is not a game for everyone, the journey from start to finish is exhiliratingly painful and even if you're the most tolerant gamer to ever exist, this game will make you ragequit more than once. But if you decide to stick with it just a bit longer, as you play, you might start to uncover its well hidden secrets waiting behind this thin veil for you to open. And once this happens, you will realise that it is an absolute one-of-a-kind gem of a masterpiece that everyone should at least experience once.
