Amazing game. It's hard to pin it down to one thing, but the combination of the movement, characters, combat/upgrade system, difficulty, maps, and overall vibe makes it so addicting.

I would love more levels, and maybe better difficulty scaling at the very very high levels, but I couldn't even call either of those complaints.

HIGHLY recommend at $25.

This game looks so innocuous but once it clicks it's just gonna dominate your life for some 100 hours at least

Extremely unique & fun game you can enjoy for hours. Every run is slightly different, and is still one of my favorite games despite this quick rant. Only major complaint is if you play on Monsoon difficulty which is the only way you can unlock a lot of cool things, you can get one shot by common enemies and an entire 1hr+ run will be ended. Doesn't happen just once. Happens more often than it doesn't. I've spent 10hrs+ per day getting perfect set ups for certain heroes and having nothing to show because every run i was randomly one shot.

Initially there was some concern from the community that a full 3D version wouldn't work as well as RoR1

Completely unfounded. Amazing upgrade to the original.
Soundtrack is a bop.
Gameplay ramps up to insanity just like the original.
Controls are spot on.
DLC is fantastic.

Buy it. Buy it all.

Risk of Rain 2 is like if cod zombies was a roguelike with cool movement

One of the few games where you can kill god as Phoenix Wright and Ganondorf.

Basic concept executed with great effort. A game that wastes no time in throwing you in an awesome rogue like fps that rewards clever builds and quick inputs. A very replayable game that friends can join in on.

This game got me into rougelikes, which are now my most played type of games. trust me this game is worth every penny , even for those with potato pcs or even laptops you can have endless fun in this game. For me i had a potato to begin with and i had 200 hours in this game but then as i upgraded i got to play more and more of this fantastic game. pls just get it

I love roguelikes but the core gameplay loop of this is just too repetitive, fight endless horde, go to teleporter, repeat. It's not a bad game at all, I just find it hard to spend a lot of hours on it, every game has repetitive things but in this game I find it to be too much, even the maps are always the same it's just the item placement that changes.
The combat also feels pretty basic, it's basically kite every enemy/go in circles and dodge occasionally, it's less tactics and more getting an op build randomly.
Lacks any build diversity too, only a few items really help each character and after playing for a bit you learn to just stack those.
I got it because of all the hype around it and the movement seemed fun but after playing it myself I cannot recommend it

Have a few hundred hours on console. Switching over to PC made me realize how much MORE fun ive missed out on + Mods make this game feel like brand new with each run. 10000/10 buy it rn makes my brain tingle

very fun, long lasting entertainment. sometimes you kinda just die outta nowhere on higher difficulties,cuz enemies deal so much more damage. overall, no glitches or bugs and very enjoyable.

And it will come
Like a flood of pain
Pouring down on me
And it will not let up until the end is here
And it will come
Through the darkest day
In my final hour
And it will never rest until the clouds are clear
Until it finds my dreams have disappeared
My dreams disappear

This game is a blast especially with friends! The visuals, soundtrack, and game play are all amazing. I would highly recommend this game. However if you aren't as into difficult games you might not have a fun time, but it gets better with others.

I had never heard of this game, but a friend recommended it to me and I'm so glad he did.

This game has crunchy, fast-paced, responsive combat. It has progression in the form of numerous upgrades for items, weapons, stats, and abilities. It has unique-feeling classes such as a tank who can stun enemies by dashing into them, a rogue who can vanish and backstab enemies, an engineer who can create robots to fight alongside--and much more.

Crucially, this also has multiplayer. There's a second SYNTHETIK as well but it doesn't have multiplayer yet.

If you enjoy isometric games, bullet hells, retro games, and can stand getting mutilated by deathbots 450 times on your way to victory, buy this.

I hated this game until the gupdate of '89, and now it's my favorite! I don't even eat anymore, I just look at the logbook entry for Gup until my eyes turn to orange gelatin and fall out of my skull. Risk of Rain 2 is a masterpiece that will surely go down in history as a great work, along with Leonardo DaVinci's "Mona Lisa" and Glenn Campbell and Tammy Klein's "Shark Side of the Moon". You have a moral obligation to play this game!

Naked INVADER
Naked INVADER

155 minutes into a run, your hands are sweaty, your adrenaline is pumping, you've developed ADHD from all the damage you do and how fast you move...
You enter the deep void, you hit three objectives, one left... you start charging it... you get one shot by a dead enemies projectile, you've lost the run...

10/10 buy this fucking game.

Risk of rain is a great game, though it's not for me i still think that this game has a lot going for it. Keep in mind that i have only played roughly 60 runs and yet have over 100 hours of gametime.

Incredible game! I highly recommend this game if you're into rogue-likes. This game starts off in a calm meadow with slow beetles trying to headbutt you. Half an hour later, you are screaming in terror as a giant lava worm descends straight through your cranium while being bombarded by sentries. After a two hour mark, you are instantly slaying everything in sight and moving around the map faster than you can control. In the end, you get killed by a enemy from the starting area after you stood still for 0.1 seconds. overall this game is very well made with an excellent game play loop, a wide range of unique characters, 10/10 bosses, and even better final bosses that will kick your ass. 57/10

I think this game is pretty good, but if you do end up getting to the moon detonation, my god the game gives the worst context for escaping the level. Please, show an indication or something to at least tell the player the blue circles are portals out of the arena. It's really frustrating getting to the final boss of the game, to get softlocked by bad direction by the game's UI.

7/10.

Really good game with high replayability and fun gameplay loop. The shooting mechanics is very satisfying, boss fights are fun but the number of bosses and environments is a bit limited.

An amazing pickup during sales to play with friends for a solid month or two.

Good game. Good Lore. Can be a bit of a bullet hell sometimes. RNG based most of the time. But you still need skill. All around pretty fun game

A friend had coaxed me into buying this game a few years ago. Truly one of the best games I have played in a long time. This game brings me back to when I was a teenager playing XBOX all day and night. Cant go wrong getting this game when on sale if you are hesitant. Mod community is strong and If you are feeling kinda quirky go for the special challenges the game provides.

This game has easily become one of my favorites and a game that I will forever keep downloaded. The ability to play with friends or solo and have fun no matter what is great and the replayability is a huge factor in making this game so great. Every run can be a little bit different and you can develop some crazy builds. The DLC into the Void added some great characters and more fun content like the void boss and void seeds. Cannot recommend this game enough especially if you love rogue likes.

I hope they continue to add content and expand the base game with additional maps, monsters, items, and even additional randomness. The game is great

Super fun if you're a fan of rogue-likes. Can get old eventually, but it regains its novelty after taking some time off of the game.

Probably one of the few roguelike games where I can actually proceed to the next stages with minimal rage. Runs pretty well on an old laptop, too.

S̵̎p̴i̷r̵ì̷͎t̷u̴s̶

This is one of (if not) the best rouge-like game(s) out there. You got binding of Issac which is amazing however one item can ruin your entire run. You got Hades with kick ass music and a story for the ages. However do you want to become a god and glass cannon speed run while detonating a moon? This is the game for you.

The music is admittedly not spectacular but still really good. The environments change with each run. and the items, while there are not as many as Issac all the items wont break your run (expect lunar items). They all just add on to your abilities until you become a god turning enemies to ash. 3 hours into a looping run and you will be sitting at a nice 2-3 fps while attacking, (I have a 3080, and when doing the teleporter event I got 10 fps 3 hours in).

This game is great and I am so glad that Hopoo made the switch to 3D to give the rouge-like genre a revamp and making this one of the most addicting experiences out there. I would also like to point out that the longer you take in an area makes the game harder as you progress, speed is key. It will eventually get to a point where the game itself starts laughing at you.

Get survivors of the void to make your next run broke as hell

9/10 because much like Terraria the wiki will have to be your best friend in order to progress more

Also a neat video showing how broke runs can become (SPOILERS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuCwnNT0oGk

One of the staples of the roguelike genre and for good reason. The first few hours of the game are brutal as there is no tutorial and there's an overwhelming amount of items and enemy abilities to learn. However, as you start to pick up on what each item does and how they interact with each other, you will start to know which items to look for and prioritize. As you get better at understanding how to counter each enemy and the optimal builds for each survivor, you get an unparalleled sense of satisfaction as you get better and better runs. The difficulty of the game is one of its charms as the unforgiving RNG nature of drops makes each run a unique challenge. The most rewarding feeling is when all the variables line up in your favor and you cruise through the end of a run melting everything on your screen that killed you in previous runs.

I've never (I think?) written a game review, but playing this game makes me feel like I have to say something.

BAD: The game isn't hard. It's not hard at all. It's actually really easy. It just scales absurdly at every boss fight. You'll die dozens of times because you don't know what killed you - every single time. You'll be doing just fine, but then suddenly something will just be absurdly powerful, and you won't know how to deal with it, and you'll die. You'll probably never know how to deal with it, unless you go read the wiki - and, sorry but, any game that REQUIRES you to go read a wiki on the game is a failure of delivery.

Yes: ultimately, it's a roguelike, so it always depends on having A) a lucky run, and B) enough unlocks to win the game. But don't call the game hard, if it's just going to kill you unfairly. Hard games are hard because they require a honing of some skill set. This game doesn't have that. It has hundreds of random things happening at once, and your character is just sort of jumping around shooting at stuff, hoping that you don't have all your health drained suddenly by you'll-never-know-what (it tells you at the end of the round what enemy killed you, but even after watching recordings of my runs, I can almost never make sense of what causes my health to deplete suddenly).

GOOD: The character variety is really great. Each character plays very differently, and the technical skill behind is character is unique. Those technical skills are learned quickly, so the learning curve isn't steep at all (again, it's NOT a hard game). It's just too bad that it's overshadowed by all the chaotic nonsense and literal randomness of this game.

The music is really excellent.

6/10 game. Lots of potential, if the game actually were about skill, and if it actually were a difficult game, in the genuine sense of the word.

At first glance, this game seemed like a basic Rogue-Like shooter. But when you go deeper and look at its fundamental, character, and detailed design, you can tell (Just like with making good banana bread)
it was made with love and passion for gaming...(unlike with banana bread, which is with baking instead).

Games dead. I have both the original and this one. Played them both. The original seemed more alive while his one seems to be missing something. It's not the same feel. It's the same game in many ways, but, they just fail to execute things in three dimensions. Nobody is playing ever in multiplayer.

This game is more fun than a party and more addicting than that columbian cut shit. If you aren't playing this game and you like roguelikes, you should be. If you like skill over luck, a balance inbetween, or the exact opposite, this game is the one for you (and everybody else in existance!), Buy this game!

However recently there is a bug that doesnt allow friends to join multiplayer games just 10 mins of black screen and kicked back to main menu. i would rate this game good but if I cant play it with friends as intended because this multiple month long bug then game sucks dick dont waste ur time. FIX. UR. SHIT.

You won't regret buying it

Got this game when it was not yet officially out and played it for many-many-many hours (as you can see).
It's a great game with fun mechanics and breath-taking challenges. I enjoy playing it with my friends AND by myself as well. Sometimes it even helps me vent my frustration in the endless run where you just shoot and jump until some random 5 inch enemy, that wasn't even looking in your direction, kills you xD
I do recommend it for those who enjoy shooters and/or coop games. There are even some additional items that you can unlock which could really put your friendship to the test.
So, go ahead, knock yourself out with this one!

If you're a fan of Roguelike games then this is the game for you, even though I've only played for 30 minutes. I refunded the game because I thought the game was an Open-world game like Zelda Breath of the Wild but turns out it was a Roguelike game (not my type of game)

It's a good game. Lots of things to collect, unlock, and get good at. It really scratches that urge to hoard items and get loot while rewarding you for doing it each time you play. It's even more fun if you go in with a couple of friends or look into some of the mods people have made. It might be kinda hard at first, but there's no harm in playing on the lower difficulties while you unlock characters and get a feel for the combat and different types of enemies.

It's a phenomenal game with amazing music to listen to as you blast your way through countless enemies. You gather so many items/powerups to the point you become an self-propelled force of destruction, until one misstep ends your entire hour and a half long run. Absolutely recommended just for the music alone tbh

Dang. There's so much I want to express, but will try and be brief. With other roguelikes, my main issue is that I feel like I don't make any progress in the long term after failing a run. It can feel almost entirely dependent on RNG - where enemies spawn, what items are dropped, and when you can find the thing that progresses you in that one run. I can 40 minutes on feel like I have nothing to show for it. I haven't felt any of that with Risk Of Rain 2. Did I die? Maybe I earned an achievement that unlocked another item to pickup. Or maybe I learned that I shouldn't touch this shrine if I'm particularly weak. Or learned more about how two or three items work together. There's the occasional cheap "what the hell just killed me" deaths. But the vast majority of deaths felt epic and educational. So, over long term, I feel like I'm growing and unlocking more stuff, instead of just hoping for a good run. Character abilities and the way they can synergize with items can make or break some runs. I'm slowly growing an intuition towards which items to get.

That's just talking about the long term with this game. Actually playing is such a treat. I've had tons of fun with most of the characters, finding two favorites. There's an emphasis on always running and always shooting if an enemy is in sight. The gameplay can be frenetic, which is great for how easy it is to pick up.

As a roguelike, I appreciate that there's a little more control over the items that you can amass on a run. If I wanted more of another item, I could shred another, or could choose specific items to purchase towards a build I was working on. I feel like Risk of Rain 2 nails this - allowing a knowledgeable player to create awesome builds. And that's gotta be my favorite thing about this game - that you have to put in the work to create a god build, but once you're there, it feels amazing.

I just finished beating my first final boss on Monsoon difficulty, and now want to try the other modes and modifiers I hear about - like Eclipse runs and Artifacts. It feels awesome to know a game will reward your time if you want to invest it.

Very fun game, for a roguelike t's got the right balance of RNG for the difficulty curve. Runs can consistently engage you for more than an hour and you'll look like you just ran an overpowered electromagnet through New York city before being absolutely pummeled into the ground if you forget to tread lightly.

The game constantly sends hordes of monsters without any possibility to pause to check the inventory. There is no in-game description of items collected so far. The whole experience is just constantly running and shooting and just hoping that collected items are good. This lack of control annoys quite a lot.

This game has really come a long way. This dev team really cares about the quality of this game and adds great content. I am a huge fan of RoR1 and RoR2 isn't quite the same but it still lives up to its roots. I would highly recommend this game because it's just so fun to go for achievements and has a ton of playability. Hopoo and Gearbox are awesome!

If you are a stat-wh*re, you will play this game until the end of time.

That is both a suggestion and a warning.

For people unfamiliar with the genre, I would consider this to be a similar vibe to COD zombies such that its about running away from constantly spawning hordes of monsters while killing them. The difficulty increases over time, the monsters and their abilities vary, the characters and their abilities vary, and the items/upgrades obtained each run vary to an extent giving a wide variety of potential experiences.

This is one of the best games I've ever played, the difficulty scaling makes sure it stays engaging throughout your runs, the art style is great, and it has an awesome soundtrack. Definitely a 10/10!

If you enjoy rogue like games this will be another to add to the collection.

It actually looks a lot better when playing than in the store screenshots, I think they are due an update.

Took me 8.3 hours to get my first win and there's another 10 or so characters to try with a bunch of items to unlock. Definitely a lot of content here.

Love this game, such a calming, no stress, no nonsense, no BS on stage 4 experience. But honestly, perfect hour or 2 of engaging game play after a long day of monotonous work.

Very addictive and mind numbing (in a good way). Anytime I am feeling bored and want to fidget my fingers while I listen to a podcast I play this game. Combat is fun, getting broken builds is crazy, and the difficulty gets wicked.

Was a gift from a friend so I gave it a shot and was completely disappointing.
Very repetitive, grindy (not in a good way that feels rewarding either!), limited customization (can't even change the color palettes of characters?), builds are completely random without unlocks and end game is unlocking new characters or an additional ability for preexisting one so you can do it all over again? Not to mention game breaking bugs that have been present since release (portals spawning inside terrain).
No thanks!

die, run again, repeat. pretty simple.

Unlock new characters before you make your assumptions about the game. Once new characters are unlocked the game is much much better.

This is definitely a fun game! It seems difficult at first, but once you find the characters you like, you can do amazing, and have a lot of fun! The only problem is that the multiplayer is super glitchy. It's very common to get kicked out of a lobby. My friend and I had a 2 hour game going, finally about to get the 20 stage achievement, I got kicked from the lobby, and he got it, and I didn't. The game is fun, but the multiplayer definitely needs to be fixed.

Yea, it's really good. A cool spin on the roguelite genre. I don't really understand that well yet, but the gameplay is top notch.

I switched from the Switch version so I could play the DLC before the next century comes along. The only real complaint is that I wish that this game had the motion controls of the Switch version. Music is good, game is good, the food that I cook from my pc is good. Get the game.

There's something truly special about this game. At about 90 hours now and it's easily one of the best purchases I've ever made, so much so that I bought it a second time on the Switch. That fact that it's only £20 is a steal, I would have happily paid £50 for this game.

Quick rundown: it's an action/roguelike with the aim of murdering everything to become more powerful, in an attempt to murder stronger things. You pick up items which can do anything from increase your attack speed and health, to making ever attack explode or being able to crush everything in the area by jumping. A multitude of enemies (and variations on those enemies), bosses, items and levels all of which are beautifully handcrafted and accompanied by a gorgeous soundtrack. The developers have put a lot of work into making this game something special and polished. This is a far better experience than the vast majority of AAA games at the moment and it really shows.

This game solo or with friends is pure brilliance! Massive variety of characters with different abilities and endless items giving you different buffs! The game is all about lasting, lasting as long as you can, that's providing you've defeated all bosses and unlocked all artifacts.

I do have a quarm with this game however.

Every. Single. Damn. Game that me and the boys play, the servers shit out at around 110 mins, no matter who is hosting the game. It's a really frustrating issue and has made us not want to play it together anymore which is the reason why most of us bought it.

Please. Game devs. Look into this server issue. It needs to be stable! We could go for 10 hours straight!

Tons of game breaking bugs that prevent progression and subsequently end your run, possibly wasting hours of time.
Lack of content.

Great game with a surprising amount of lore and backstory if you wish to read into that. The overall gameplay can be a bit repetitive but every character has a very unique feel to them which keeps things fresh.

Risk of Rain 2 is a very fantastic game, from the characters, gameplay, music and even more. The game defiantly has a lot of love put into it. The best part of this game though is enjoying it with friends, I've had my fair share of extremely odd deaths but my friends and I shrugged em off with some laughs. The game also features some of the best ways to stack items ever, of course your opponents get stronger too if you aren't careful...

Next is the DLC which adds two really fun characters and the corrupted items which add another layer of depth to the game. And all the other goodies that come with it.

The game even has the prismatic trials to show off your skills, the simulacrum which acts like a horde mode, and even harder difficulties with the eclipse mode, which has occupied a lot of me and my friends time these days with the game.

Now what I dislike, which is such a small small list.

Co-op deaths. I wish there was a system or a way to revive your allies while on a floor, becasue if you die early on your friends either have to feed you items next floor, or they have to rush the floor and leave immediately before the game gets too hard for the next floor. Personally this doesn't really frustrate me but it's there.

Overall very fun game, when friends ask if I'd recommend this game, I'd say yes in a heartbeat.
