    So, the game looks really bad graphically, but I'm the kind of person who will play anything as long as it's fun. NES, Intellivision, whatever, as long as it's fun. I came into Risk of Rain 2 really wanting to like it. I've now played for 4 hours, and unlocked 3 other characters, but I can't say that I'm having much fun.

    I don't like the fundamental design, which is based on a timer. I    So, the game looks really bad graphically, but I'm the kind of person who will play anything as long as it's fun. NES, Intellivision, whatever, as long as it's fun. I came into Risk of Rain 2 really wanting to like it. I've now played for 4 hours, and unlocked 3 other characters, but I can't say that I'm having much fun.

    I don't like the fundamental design, which is based on a timer. I hate games based on timers, as it's just artificial difficulty that ruins your ability to play as you want to. Every second that goes by in this game, it's designed to get harder. You're frantically looking around the level for items and more importantly the teleporter, which is how you summon the boss and move on to the next stage. You have no idea where it is, so you just pick a direction and start running. If you're lucky, you'll find it within the first 3 minutes. If you're not...

    After 5 minutes, there are 20+ enemies fighting you at once, and the only strategy that seems to keep you alive is to jump around, spending 95% of your time in the air while strafing. Nothing else works, no matter what character you are or what items you've picked up. I'm not enjoying playing like this. The player shouldn't be pigeon-holed into playing the game only like a spastic kangaroo.

    The control of the character is pretty decent, so I'll give it a couple of points for that. Otherwise, this is a big failure to me. No fun to be found, only frustration.    … Expand

    I 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.

    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 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.

    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.
