As far as I’m concerned, Risk of Rain 2 is as good as gaming gets. Unlocking items, discovering new synergies, planning out builds — it’s all immensely satisfying. Make no mistake: This is a tough game, and the randomized nature inherent to roguelikes just won’t click with some people. But, for players with a taste for escalating action and challenge, this game stands as one of the very best in the genre.

We have finally lived through the full release of Risk of Rain 2. With the full release comes a new character, who is excellent, and a true final level, final boss, and an ending. On top of that, we get even more excellent music from Chris Christodoulou. It cements Risk of Rain 2 as one of the best roguelikes of all time, and certainly one of the best co-op roguelikes too. There are a couple of things I was hoping to see with the full release, like more skills for the other survivors, but I’m sure they’ll arrive somewhere down the line. As it stands, if you’ve not played Risk of Rain 2, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

An absolute game masterpiece. Despite some minor conflicts, like regarding early seekers of the storm DLC, it is still a masterpiece. Lore is tragic and well-made, secrets are secret enough and game is actually challenging. So I would recommend it to anyone. Literally.

Risk of Rain 2 has become one of my favorite games of all time I have 560 hours in the game and once the next DLC comes out I plan on playing it for even more the game has so many characters items and maps to master, there is a reason why this game has such a massive fan base even 5 years since it came out once you pick it up

Risk of Rain 2 is a must have. A love letter to the genre, a fun and engaging experience with tons of content, personality, and secrets. Version 1.0 adds a great final boss on top of the many enemies, items, challenges, maps and features included in the same patch and the previous ones.

Risk of Rain 2 has a lot to offer and despite some downsides to the multiplayer side of things, the game is still really well put together. There is a lot to explore and unlock, but most importantly, it’s really fun to play. The core gameloop of Risk of Rain 2 makes it accessible while the additional features and mechanics make it tough to put down. I highly recommend this game to both roguelike veterans and those who are interested in diving into the genre.

The quest for outrageous items makes Risk of Rain 2 a strong action roguelike, but its unlockable secrets give it that little something extra.

Varied items, engrossing gameplay and a killer soundtrack make Risk of Rain 2 one of the best roguelike shooters in recent years. The lack of a mid-game save feature and some uninspired environments hold this sequel back, but the astonishing translation from 2D to 3D more than makes up for it.

Risk of Rain 2 is a third person shooter roguelike full of items to unlock and enemies to kill. However it is a little short of breath.

Really solid roguelike with a lot of characters who have varied abilities. It just gets quite repetitive after a lot of runs, but it's a lot of fun for those initial runs.

Inicialmente, Risk of Rain 2 me gustó mucho, pero a medida que fueron pasando las horas rápidamente se fue transformando cada vez más en aburrimiento. Las razones hablaré de ellas ahora, pero quiero que quede claro que lo jugué en solitario, con lo que probablemente las sensaciones y eso para quienes lo jueguen en multiplayer con amigos (como está diseñado) sean mejores. Si resumimos mucho, el juego es un shooter rogue-like, con mogollón de enemigos, cada vez más y más duros, en lo que explorar zonas para conseguir mejoras aleatorias y desbloquear el teleportador previa batalla contra el boss. El problema es que se hace muy repetitivo porque le faltan cosas típicas de los roguelike. Una de esas cosas es que los mapas aquí son fijos (con variaciones menores como zonas pequeñas que pueden estar accesibles o no), con lo cual se acaba conociendo los mismos demasiado, si además tenemos en cuenta que los primeros los ves todo el rato, se acaba haciendo muy repetitivo. Luego le falta una historia así como un sistema de progresión de cualquier clase que otorgue objetivos o razones para jugar, pero en este caso cada intento es completamente independiente. El único cambio que queda de una partida a otra es lo que vas desbloqueando, que se hace en base a conseguir logros, algunos de los cuales ocurrirán simplemente por ir jugando, pero la mayoría acaban dependiendo del azar de que te caigan los bonos adecuados, de que una habilidad ocurra de cierto modo, etc. lo cual acaba siendo muy frustrante. Igual que lo es el hecho de que, llegado cierto punto y con una build decente, al final el juego se resume en "te vas cargando todo sin que te hagan nada hasta que llegas al lugar equivocado y sin que puedas evitarlo, de una hostia te bajan entero". Gráficamente el juego tiene una estética muy suya pero personalmente no me ha gustado nada, y tiene además ciertos problemas de legibilidad en la distancia (como que los cadáveres de ciertos enemigos parecen cofres). La música ahí ya es cosa de gustos, para mi es demasiado electrónica noventera, que es un género que no me convence, pero ahí habrá a quien si le parezca perfecta y sin duda, no puedo decir que sea mala pese a que no encaje en mis gustos. No hay voces como tales, los efectos de sonido son muy básicos. Y el juego tiene ciertos bugs ocasionales como cosas que spawnean dentro de paredes, una baja IA de enemigos y aliados, **** todo ello, Risk of Rain no me parece un juego terrible, pero tampoco gran cosa. Y acaba repitiéndose como una cena que te sienta pesada. Un 4.
