  • Summary: The classic multiplayer roguelike, Risk of Rain, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items.

No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items. Play solo, or team up with up to four friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet.

    With each run, you'll learn the patterns of your foes, and even the longest odds can be overcome with enough skill. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game--what once was a bossfight will in time become a common enemy.

    Myriad survivors, items, enemies, and bosses return to Risk 2, and many new ones are joining the fight. Brand new survivors like the Artificer and MUL-T debut alongside classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and -- of course -- the Commando. With over 75 items to unlock and exploit, each run will keep you cleverly strategizing your way out of sticky situations.    … Expand

    Risk of Rain 2 is a real success, so much so that it makes the first episode look like a nice draft.

    Risk of Rain 2 is fast, fluid and a lot of fun. This is amplified vastly in multiplayer, which works flawlessly and is very enjoyable. If you enjoy roguelikes you will enjoy Risk of Rain 2, even if you don't, you may want to try something that is quite different from what is currently on the market.

    Risk of Rain 2 might just be one of the PlayStation 4’s most addictive co-op experiences. Crash-landing on a hostile planet littered with sparsely detailed but highly stylised landmarks and architecture, you and your team must survive using weapons and abilities that are in constant flux as you slot in more and more perks. It sounds simple, and at first it feels that way -- akin to playing laser tag against overwhelming odds, such is the deceptively basic (yet responsive) way that starting out each run feels.

Co-op 2-4 players makes it one of the most fun times I've had on PS4. It is one of those games that might seem hard at first but if you're like me, you'll keep on keeping on with it and a dozen or less hours later you start to really feel in control of the game and have tons of fun with little stress because you're starting to get "gud."… Expand

    + Lovely visual design with an astonishing atmosphere
    + Amazing soundtrack
    + Runs pretty well on PS4 Pro system (locked at 30fps with no screen tearing)
    + Very, very addictive
    + On-line coop is a blast but it's also perfectly playable in solo
    + A lots of useful upgrades
    + Different classes, each one is fun to play
    + It's like The Binding of Isaac merged with a Sci-Fi 3D Third Person Shooter

    Cons:
    - Aim assist seems broken, so you need to be precise with your thumbs while aiming
    - Each run can be veryyyyy long and you can't save during a game (my last attempt lasted for almost 3 hours straight!!)
    - You can't choose what HUD elements you want to keep on screen, it's ON (with everything) or OFF (with absolutely nothing, not even the cross reticule)
    - Chests and upgrades are not separate in on-line coop, so you have to "fight" for them    … Expand

The gameplay is very smooth and there is ton of variety in items and characters. I love the balance between time and items. If you play slower you will get more items, but the game will get progressively harder, and eventually reaches a point where there is absolute chaos in the game. Attacks everywhere. I highly recommend it, although I find it a bit more challenging than the average roguelike (for beating the game the first time) so have that in mind.… Expand

You’ll be on a decent run and then it’ll end before you know it and you’ll have no idea what happened. Like I said, it’s fine to hop in and out of, but it very quickly becomes a matter of chance and hoping you don’t inexplicably perish. It’s an okay game and a decent rogue-lite, but if you’re looking for something to really sink your teeth into, I’d suggest you look elsewhere.… Expand

I normallyI was hoping for a fun game given how everyone gushes over it. All I got was boring shooter with find the door sim added into it. I normally don't get bored easily, but I found myself that way. Everything going crazy and can't see item details when I pick something up. Even when I'm paused. Wasted my 8 dollars, thank god only that. Will play for a couple more hours, not expecting any better.… Expand
