Risk of Rain - Game Review
4Risk of Rain (RoR) is a short and sweet roguelike co-op adventure game. You will spend your time exploring alien planets and fighting strange creatures.
The story is intentionally vague but it seems like we are an astronaut who has crash landed on a strange planet and our purpose in life is to defeat a boss called Providence. We will have to survive 5 dangerous alien planets until we can arrive on Providence's ship. Collect items and permanent power ups along the way. Discover fun small easter egg NPCs hiding in the wild.
Risk of Rain is a great co-op game and is best enjoyed with a friend. You can try to play solo but you may find the difficulty to be too much to handle by yourself. It features great art and is overall a very pleasing game to listen to and look at. I have no idea what the lore is but the world seems interesting enough. The boss fights are well thought out and require you to actually pay attention and "git gud."
I think RoR is a little too bite sized. You only have 6 levels to beat and with a friend this will not be a long or arduous task. Afterwards you are stuck in a relatively repetitive gameplay loop with variations only being your class choice, difficulty, artifact choice, and the occasional alternate planet for levels. It's a fun game but is not one I would put a lot of hours into.
RoR has value for it's challenge, fun gameplay, exploration, and art style. It also lacks some value due to being one single game mode over and over again until you get bored or unlock everything.
