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
Risk of Rain 2 is one of those games that starts simple and somehow turns into absolute chaos in the best possible way. The gameplay is fast, addictive, and every run feels different thanks to the huge variety of characters, items, enemies, and random events. Finding a powerful item combination and watching your character slowly turn into an unstoppable killing machine is incredibly satisfying. The difficulty can be brutal, especially when everything starts coming at you at once, but that’s also what makes every successful run feel rewarding. The co-op is even better, because playing with friends can turn a normal run into complete madness. It’s not perfect, and the randomness can sometimes feel unfair, but once the game clicks, it’s really hard to stop playing. Easy to learn, difficult to master, and ridiculously addictive. Highly recommended if you enjoy roguelikes.
I came into this game via friend recommendations and honestly didn't expect much but it's genuinely one of the most fun game's i have played as of recent, i definitely recommend giving it a shot.
