    I loved the game when I first played it, I got a bit addicted on playing it and my goal was to get all the hard mode skins for the characters. Now when I saw the update with a new boss, new map, and a new character I was hyped but unfortunately I have it on ps4 and pc only has this update and it's been months with no info on when it's gonna be released on consoles, however they want toI loved the game when I first played it, I got a bit addicted on playing it and my goal was to get all the hard mode skins for the characters.

    The cons out way the pros.

    Cons: - The graphics are basic (to say is nicely), you couldn't round some corner on your objects so it doesn't look like kindergarten block set? - Generally unpolished, even after multiple updates. Slow downs happen often on a PS4 Pro. - Tele-porters are stuck in weird locations, monster spawns sometimes means you can't continue without just restarting. -    The cons out way the pros.

    Cons:
    - The graphics are basic (to say is nicely), you couldn't round some corner on your objects so it doesn't look like kindergarten block set?
    - Generally unpolished, even after multiple updates. Slow downs happen often on a PS4 Pro.
    - Tele-porters are stuck in weird locations, monster spawns sometimes means you can't continue without just restarting.
    - Unless something changes after 5+ hours with the enemies, the design is extremely similar across enemies and the way they deal damage.
    - Having played a run for 1+ hour with just dying on the last boss having 15% health left, doesn' fill me with excitement to continue if you don't give anything in return.
    - Attacks are difficult to follow and understand . Both for how much damage they may do (a big blue orb can half your health, while an exploding enemy of the same size does almost nothing).
    - This is more personal but the last level is way too long, in general its a 6+ stepped boss with recycling the same boss and enemies again and again.

    Pros:
    + Gun play is great
    + The upgrades are well designed.

    It's extremely repetitive without many returning gains. If you would be able to keep one an upgrade after a run (or multiple runs with the same upgrade) at least you're playing for something.    … Expand

    The game is decent fun for a quick in and out, but if you’re looking to get long runs or go for the platinum (which requires 20 stages completed in sequence), then you cross your fingers and hope you don’t get killed in some unavoidable or instant way, because it happens ALL THE TIME. You’ll be on a decent run and then it’ll end before you know it and you’ll have no idea what happened.The game is decent fun for a quick in and out, but if you’re looking to get long runs or go for the platinum (which requires 20 stages completed in sequence), then you cross your fingers and hope you don’t get killed in some unavoidable or instant way, because it happens ALL THE TIME. 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

    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.
