Risk of Rain 2
Without a doubt one of, if not the most, fun games I have played! Especially as a solo player. While I have not yet played with friends, from what I've seen it's still amazing either way.
I've now hit 25 hours of game time, which feels like an appropriate amount to review the game based from it's price, of around £1 an hour total.
The game is simple, yet complicated with cool characters and crazy setups you can create to absolutely smash through enemies like they are NOTHING. Don't like rouge likes? ME NEITHER. But trust me, you WILL like this one. Even if I lose an hour and a half of a run, I may be slightly disappointed but just as happy to jump right back in. The range in characters you can play is so large with completely different looks, abilities, strengths, weaknesses and play styles. Alongside that, the same with the items you collect in game.
They have purposely designed this game to be absolutely chaos if you play it right. With items stacking a ridiculous amount. What's that? You want to do a bonus 700% damage to enemies over 90% health? NO PROBLEM. While it is random what items you get, you can unlock a modifier which allows you to pick and choose what items you would like, which you can match with your character to become a god. I personally prefer the random, but with one run of being able to choose my items I was unstoppable and I'm sure I'll be doing it again soon.
For a 1/3 of the price, this game is much better than most recent AAA games, which is insane, but absolutely true.
List of games this is genuinely better than;
- Any COD since 2020
- Redfall
- That forsaken Golem game
- Crime Boss
- Cyberpunk (at release at least)
- Battlefield 2042
- That justice league game
- Farcry 6 (and I love this series)
And many many more, and you will probably put more game time into this, as I already predict I will have 60 hours by the end of this year.
Basically my summary:
Current AAA = 😐
Risk of Rain 2 = 🗿🗿🗿
