March 2026

A game about surviving on an alien planet where the local wildlife has collectively decided you are a walking loot crate. Developed by Hopoo Games, a studio that clearly asked the question: “What if dopamine addiction was a game mechanic?” In Risk of Rain 2 you crash-land on a hostile planet and must fight through increasingly angry wildlife while collecting items that stack so hard they eventually turn the laws of physics into a polite suggestion. You start as a normal survivor with a pistol. Ten minutes later you are: Firing 300 homing missiles per second Causing chain lightning across the continent Summoning orbital bombardments whenever you trip over a rock Accidentally killing God because you picked up your 47th goat hoof The core gameplay loop is simple: Land on planet Kill everything Open chests Become a walking war crime Die instantly to something you never saw Every run begins with optimism and ends with a lemurian breathing on you for 0.3 seconds and deleting your entire existence. But that’s okay, because the real game is the items. You see, items in Risk of Rain 2 stack. Not politely. Not reasonably. Stacked like a Soviet apartment block made entirely of cocaine. You get one syringe: faster attack speed. You get ten syringes: you become a living minigun. You get fifty syringes: your GPU files for political asylum. Some items trigger other items which trigger more items, creating a cascading chain reaction that eventually looks like: “Enemy hit → missile → explosion → lightning → fireworks → orbital laser → nuclear winter.” At this point the screen is less of a video game and more of a weather event. Now let’s talk about difficulty scaling, also known as “the game quietly loading a shotgun while you’re having fun.” The longer you take, the stronger enemies become. Meaning the game gently encourages you to move faster… until it becomes a frantic sprint through levels while screaming: “WHERE IS THE TELEPORTER” Meanwhile the timer ticks upward and the enemies evolve from: Cute lizard to Angry lizard to Laser lizard to God’s personal hate mail The bosses are equally fair and balanced. Sometimes you fight a giant stone titan with laser eyes. Other times the game spawns fourteen of them because you had the audacity to enjoy yourself. And then there’s multiplayer. Multiplayer in Risk of Rain 2 is a beautiful cooperative experience where you and your friends work together to survive. By which I mean: You steal every item you see while pretending it was an accident. Friendship ends the moment someone grabs the Legendary Chest. By the end of a run everyone has become a different type of natural disaster. One friend is a lightning storm. Another is a missile platform. And one poor guy is still holding a revolver because the loot goblins got there first. Eventually you either ascend to godhood or die to a jellyfish. There is no middle ground. But despite the chaos, the soundtrack—composed by Chris Christodoulou—is phenomenal. It perfectly captures the feeling of: “Floating peacefully through space while committing industrial-scale violence.” In conclusion: Risk of Rain 2 is a beautifully designed roguelike about stacking items until the game engine begins to cry. It’s fast. It’s chaotic. And it’s one of the few games where becoming a demigod still isn’t enough to survive a mushroom field. 10/10. Would crash-land again.
