I have been a really huge fan of RoR2, though RoR1 is a truly different experience here, broken, unfair, and yet it beautifully renders how the young Hopoo games sees their world of Petrichor V, perhaps even better than RoR2 in some cases, i don't wanna yap in this format though, so let me be clear Q: Is it required to play this game before RoR2? A: Common misconception, you can play whichever, though, the relief of playing RoR1 then RoR2 hits harder and better than the other way around, especially if you're a lore player Q: How hard is this game? A: Ridiculuously unfair at start, though as a typical Risk of Rain game, you're the one that gets better. Still... i prefer Eclipse 3+ than Monsoon here sometimes Q: Compared to Returns... what's the differences? A: You already knew the answer, accept it Q: So, do i buy this or Returns? A: Depends on the experience you're searching, ig if you want true early indie game experience, RoR1 is the way, if you want the intended Hopoo experience where they iron out a lot of things, then RoR Returns. If you just wanna commit some rampage to lemurians, just play RoR2, trust me Q: Overall ratings? A: At start if i gave up in this game, i will rate it a 4/10 experience, not fun, not really intuitive. But the better you play eventually, you start seeing what people 13 years ago saw about Hopoo and their potential, the depth, the untold storytelling, the lore, it gets to a point where you realize just how advanced is a game that gives you 2 whole ATGs at different item tiers, and just how far Hopoo had thought about their world of Petrichor V that they made, it's genuinely, one of the peakest experience. 10/10. I'm still pissed off by the balance here though, 8/10, but eh, Command + Sacrifice and farm away if you're lazy, idc

Risk of Rain is the only game where I start as a fragile intern with a pea shooter and end up a walking apocalypse with 47 drones, 12 ukuleles, and crippling anxiety about the timer.

Okay so the current review bomb is dumb The new 2K EULA reflects the fact that they primarily develop large-scale online multiplayer games, and is designed to apply more or less entirely to that category. They're not going to spy on people playing small singleplayer games or some ♥♥♥♥ like that with kernel-level anticheats, and Gearbox isn't even directly tied to the EULA change as far as i'm aware. Go piss on 2K's stuff, not Gearbox's. Oh, and the game is a lot of fun. Bigger modding scene than the remake as of the time of writing this, but that's mostly because the remake is still being broken down and bigs mods are still in development. you can poke around other reviews for actual game descriptions

When a game is wildly unbalanced against the player, that's bad design. When a game is wildly unbalanced against the player and lets the player become wildly unbalanced in response, that's something insane and beautiful and glorious. Gaze upon my billion cumulative power-ups, ye mighty, and despair. Or spawn like 5 Overloading Magma worms at once. Either or.
