Risk of Rain 2

I enjoyed Risk of Rain 1, but I couldn't say it is a good game; its enjoyment is reserved for those who understand its mechanics, spend the time to internalize them, and soak in the world. Risk of Rain 2 is an improvement in every way: graphically, gameplay-wise, cast of characters, and depth. It is a true sequel in its own right. It is a sequel done properly. However... Each expansion pack released for this game has, in my opinion, made the game significantly worse than before. This is exacerbated by the original development team having stopped development after the first expansion; it is a fact of game development that there will be friction when a new team takes on an existing game. In my opinion, the real crime was that this new team was allowed to release a paid DLC that damaged what was left of the original game + expansion pack, rather than a few patches or run some free beta content first. I'm not angry at the difficulty, or leaning into a lack of balance per se, but the expansions added tedium, as well as broken and unpredictable difficulty spikes in the expansion levels and items. This game punishes you for exploring with death, over and over again. If you're into that, you'll like this game. If you don't, just play something else. Risk of Rain 2 suffers from a deliberate lack of balance; this is partly where its strength lies, but also where it divides the player base. The random spawns, loot, and level paths on each playthrough make the game near-infinitely variable, and on the lowest difficulty setting, things aren't so bad for less-hardcore players. On harder difficulties, this is where the "lack" of balance really shines; it is both a strength and a glaring weakness for this game's accessibility. While I don't care for the strange, unhinged and bizarre lore, I know some people do ... and if you do, there's a lot of it. It's a completely unsubstantial and dark fever dream, but it's there if you want it. But here is where I indict the game into the deepest regions of contempt: > This is the kind of game that enables your worst friends to live out their worst behaviours. You know that friend, right? The one that lives in an eternal power fantasy and has a lack of true empathy for others? In Risk of Rain 2, there's nothing to stop you from steamrolling through the level ahead of your party, opening every high-level chest, swiping the only red item spawned from a boss, level after level, and only offering the good items to your party once you're already so obscenely overpowered that you've snowballed yourself into a nigh-invulnerable bender of reality itself. Sure, it can be fun to do that, but having to listen to partymates complain across multiple game session about how that one person is coasting along with 2-3x the items of everyone else, watching the rest of the party die over and over again, because the strongest character is picking the infinite loops or unilaterally triggering the toughest challenges just so they can get more loot... is really depressing, makes the game immensely frustrating, and forces me to question what friendship really is. The game IS better with friends, but make sure they possess basic human decency before you play this game with them.

O jogo começa com você não entendendo nada, só poluição visual e bixo pra todo lado. No final você continua não entendendo nada, mas de alguma maneira da certo.

to esperando chover des de que comprei o jogo, mt ruim slk

🎻 ''...and his music was eletric.'' 🌑 Eu comprei e joguei esse jogo pela primeira vez há uns bons e velhos anos já... De lá pra cá mudou algumas coisas e lançou bastante conteúdo novo, eu havia ''zerado'', mas simplesmente nem me lembrava de algumas coisas da reta final pra concluir as runs, quando de repente me deu uma vontade genuína de jogar essa maravilha de novo, eu tinha umas 20 horas e acabei duplicando isso durante julho, e com isso concluindo o objetivo principal do jogo... Claro que, como um roguelike, tem muitooo conteúdo pra fazer, build pra testar, personagens pra masterizar, áreas pra conhecer, e vale lembrar que o jogo possui 3 DLCs, por hora, eu só tenho o jogo base e vou falar dele. Risk of Rain 2 é simplesmente um dos melhores indies/roguelikes que tem pra mergulhar de cabeça e jogar por horas, dias, semanas, e meses, sozinho ou com amigos, gameplay dele é deliciosa, os cenários são lindos e diversificados, as músicas MEU DEUS DO CÉU, desde o 1 (que infelizmente joguei pouquérrimo) já era algo magistral, aqui então pelo fato de eu ter jogado bem mais, pude aproveitar mais o jogo nesse aspecto, não teve um dia que tive vontade de tirar a ost do jogo pra colocar outra coisa, papo de você ter algumas favoritas e torcer pra cair um mapa só por conta da trilha sonora pra escutar ela. Variedade de personagens e builds é algo incrível, os desafios do jogo dão um baita fator replay, e com certeza num futuro breve volto aqui pra falar das DLCs, por que o jogo base em si é mais do que bem feito e pra lá de recomendado!

Сложно сказать, что я играл во множество рогаликов, но средь тех в какие я играл, Risk of rain 2 бесспорно лучший в своём жанре (из новых рогаликов, конечно, айзек будет лучше). Но лучший не значит идеальный, поэтому, лично я, среди минусов могу только отметить, что игре не хватает рандомной генерации этапов, из-за чего в неё рано или поздно надоест играть и, поверьте, случится это гораздо раньше чем в других, имеющих рандомную генерацию, рогаликах.

Best in the genre. Gameplay, sound design, music, lore, style, it has it all. ...and the music is electric.

you are gonna need a bigger ukulele

this game made me look at life in a diffrent way after my friend said "you took my item I CURSE YOU" ten seconds later a jellyfish one shotted me
