    I didn't think I'd like this game as I couldn't get into the first one. This game is excellent and incredibly fun, especially with friends. The variety of "builds" you can choose from gives it a great deal of re-playability. Highly recommend!

    Best game I’ve ever played, the only problem with it is that the dlc is only on the pc version of the game.

    Things I like:
    - Large Amount of Replayability
    - Good Amount of Fun classes to try
    - Decently hard boss fights
    - Plenty of detail in the logs
    - Stylistic Graphics
    Things I dislike:
    - Can't save mid-run
    - No option for turning on some sort of mini-map

    Conclusion: this game is worth every penny

    As an avid player of the dark souls games and rougelikes I have enjoyed this game for hours at a time. This game is great for those looking for harder games. I personally prefer this game. There are some problems such as enemies can be too powerful but it is fine eventually.

    What a dumb game, no story, no tutorial, just start the game and shoot, die and start again, shoot and repeat.

    Сложно описать эту игру, поэтому я просто скажу что все должны ощутить этот опыт. А также если сравнивать с 1 частью, risk of rain очень похорошела.

    this is not a game; this is more like a drug. you try it out and you think it's cool, and so you go back for a little more, and then you finally get a multiple hour run. 4 hours of your life are now gone as you finally die by obliterating yourself.
    and then you immediately start another run

    Im not kidding when i say that RIsk of Rain 2 has the best Gameplay on the market rn. It feels SO GOOD to play, all the characters are unique and the randomness mixes up the gameflow so no run will be the same. Absolutely play this masterpiece.

    I love rouge-likes, and this ticks all the boxes for me. Unlockable content that doesn't create barriers from enjoying the game, multiple endings, and a bangin soundtrack to help you get through the repeated playthroughs. Solid gameplay to boot.

    Actually the most overrated game of the past decade developers make 2 hours worth of content and stuck in into a randomizer and call it a game. Gameplay’s not even fun. Just run around in circles and kill a bunch of things over and over and over and over, all with Minuscule changes, pathetic excuse for a gameplay loop, mildly enjoyable for 2 hours and that’s it.

    This is one of the few roguelikes that I have really enjoyed. The many different survivors you can play as made this game unique and fun.

    Quite easily one of the easiest games to pick up and just sink hours into. Not to mention the phenomenal soundtrack is a plus.

    I have 300 hours in this game and just completed my first of undoubtedly many Eclipse 8 runs. I've seen quite literally everything this game has to offer. Despite that, I will probably dump hundreds more hours into it. Difficulty options, co-op, and artifacts make it easy to play the game exactly how you want to play even if you're a casual player.

Despite that, I will probably dump hundreds more hours into it. Difficulty options, co-op, and artifacts make it easy to play the game exactly how you want to play even if you're a casual player. Other artifacts and Eclipse modes give people like myself craving a challenge options to keep doing runs when difficulty options aren't enough. The concept is cool, the levels are well crafted, the music is so good it's on my main playlists, and the gameplay is tight and makes it a delight to play. I'm a big fan of many roguelike games and this has become my favorite by far.… Expand

    Risk of Rain 2' frantic combat and weirdly addictive randomness still excite me even after countless runs.

    This game is literally one of the best rogue-like games ive ever played and will still be the one of the bests on its genre after years.

    Very nice rougue-like TPS. Many combinations of heroes/abilities/upgrades, but ultimately too much colorful flashes - sometimes hard to understand what is going on lol
    I don't know what, but something is missing. becomes too repetitive too quickly.
    Co-op is fun, but the same issues.

    This game has an amazing gameplay loop that it lets you get lost in with its near endless possibilities, while its lore only consists of item descriptions in the menu, its story is not its central focus - more a backdrop to its amazing gameplay.

    A shooter with a roguelike’s soul, Risk of Rain 2 is pretty much devoid of any deeper meaning, but at the same time perfectly executed and brilliant in its simplicity. [11/2020, p.33]

    Risk of Rain 2 does a great job at creating an engaging world full of frantic moments, although sometimes its procedural features get in the way.

    We have finally lived through the full release of Risk of Rain 2. With the full release comes a new character, who is excellent, and a true final level, final boss, and an ending. On top of that, we get even more excellent music from Chris Christodoulou. It cements Risk of Rain 2 as one of the best roguelikes of all time, and certainly one of the best co-op roguelikes too. There are a couple of things I was hoping to see with the full release, like more skills for the other survivors, but I’m sure they’ll arrive somewhere down the line. As it stands, if you’ve not played Risk of Rain 2, you’re doing yourself a disservice.
