Great game. No shame in pushing this game down to "Drizzle" difficulty and just vibing with friends. Glad there are options for those of us who aren't that invested in game mastery nowadays.

Yes Corporations suck but a lot of the Take Two rhetoric you see on here is overblown. It's pretty much a standard practice EULA you've probably accepted tons of of times without batting an eye. In fact you agreed to most of the same stuff to make your steam account before even purchasing a game from take two. A lot of it is your consent to information that you give up when you fill in your purchase information in the first place. It's all used for market data and metrics.

This is, 100%, one of those remakes that are so good to the point where it flat out replaces the original. A lot of gameplay changes are there to make the experience feel better to play (Especially removing how you need to kill all enemies to clear a teleporter event, though you can re-enable that if you so wish), the new stuff added like the new items, alternate survivor abilities, and the four new music tracks, elevate the original visit to Petrichor V to new heights. If you're a fan of Risk of Rain 2, I'd definitely reccomend trying this one out.
