The most satisfying, rich, complete, remake I have ever played! I loved the first Risk of Rain, its simplicity, small size, while at the same time being huge, full with wonder, packed with content! You'd buy the game and it would be 100% yours to play and explore and all! Risk of Rain 2 came along and they drifted from some of those things, don't get me wrong, the 2nd one is great! But it's not the first one, its something completetly different. its not as gimmicky, its not small/light in size, the game it's not all yours once you buy it (if you want 100% you still gotta buy a bunch of DLCs)... I was happy they made the 2nd one and that it was a success, i apprecciated some things they added to the 2nd that weren't on the first (like magazines and other cool items...)! But among the good things, you could also clearly smell the corporate people seeping into the development of the thing.... So it is a huge surprise to see that Risk of Rain Returns is this polished, this huge, this pretty, this faithfull to the original Risk of Rain while still feeling so fresh and so new!!! The music rocks The gameplay rocks The new stuff ROCKS Its like they made the first one again, merging into it all the good things of the 2nd, WHILE ALSO PUTTING COMPLETLY NEW STUFF ON TOP AND THE GAME IS COMPLETE!!!! No DLC ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Huge bang for ur buck just to play this amazing masterpiece! No corporate ooze here, just passion and care! Thank you for making this game, trully! It is an example of how reworks should be made. With love and care :)

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.
