Risk of Rain Returns

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 :)

its like risk of rain (2013) but it doesnt feel as janky and awkward. the new classes are fun to play around with and overall it feels very faithful to me, as a person who played the original back in 2015 or so. just a great game, i never get tired of this series i dont think

Die a bit, get used to how to fight, and risk your eyes as it might rain with music like this. It's surprisingly fun for a game I didn't think I'd enjoy the genre of (specifically the 2D fighting style). Personal view and lore: (ignorable xD) Gave it another shot after the initial hype, when I felt like it wasn't my type of game. This time I went in blind and learning what the game teaches me as I go (and dying). You can't even want to try to play this like ror2 anyway. Play it like a kid after school, curious what the next character does and how far you can get. Actually, play every game curiously. It's a "duh" but it's something we forget, becase we think instead.
