    This game is definitely not my cup of tea: though I'll try to be fair because it is subjective. The game appears to be good for its platforming genre with a decent set of movements and a large free-roaming world.

The game appears to be good for its platforming genre with a decent set of movements and a large free-roaming world. However where it loses me is that in its desire to be free roaming it becomes too disconnected from any sense of good progress and storytelling that it ends up being mainly an exercise on platforming exploration without much boundaries which can be considered a positive for many players but for many others it would be desired to have more structure.… Expand

    Rain World is an indie experience that does not try to hide its difficulty level but which will no doubt find plenty of fans warming up to its very well crafted world and art style. Its gameplay may feel frustrating at moments but Rain World is overall a very involving game that will get players to lock their attention on the game.

    The main appeal I saw in Rain World was in its art style and the design of its enemies. Its mechanics need some fine tuning for it to be the masterpiece it has the potential to be. If you’re looking for a game that’ll really try your patience and give you a good challenge, then I’d absolutely recommend adding this to your library. Otherwise, I’d recommend you look elsewhere.

    Rain World does an excellent job in letting you know when the cycle ends, sometimes too much so as the game makes heavy use of the rumble function to let you know the end is nigh.
