The amount of upgrades you can collect and build upon is insane, especially with them stacking on top of each other. One thing that does make this title quite different from other games in the genre though is that the pickups and upgrades stack indefinitely. It’s your goal to kill as many enemies as possible, make your character more powerful, move to the next stage and repeat. You also have other things like shrines, equipment pods and even turrets to repair and use. You kill enemies, gain cash and open loot containers scattered around the randomly generated stages. The actual gameplay in Risk of Rain 2 will be familiar to anyone who has played any recent roguelike. It gives the game a nice quick pace, it was different but I liked it a lot. I got there eventually though and now can blast through stages only picking up what’s required and powering my character up accordingly. It was a bit difficult for a completionist like myself to retrain my mind and leave some loot behind. You just need to find the perfect balance of powering yourself up and not make the game too hard for yourself. ![]() That sounds strange but the thing with Risk of Rain is the longer you spend pottering around and looting the higher the difficulty gets. In Risk of Rain 2, each level is a constant battle of speed versus thoroughness. The many unlockable characters are very different from each other, creating many play styles to choose from. Luckily though once I had a few levels under my belt it became easier to find them and I quickly got used to the structure and layout of the game. For anyone who has not played Risk of Rain, you need to find the teleporter to initiate the boss fight and exit the current stage. For a start, it took me ages to find the first teleporter and work out what it looked like. It did take me a little while to adjust to the game, that was perhaps an amalgamation of both the small amount of time I played the previous title and the updates to the overall package I needed to adapt to. ![]() I suppose it is better than waiting a year or two as long as its in a playable and stable state. Hopefully, the game will develop along with the PC version and get quick updates. ![]() After checking Steam though it seems that Risk of Rain 2 is still in early access on PC so maybe this is the developer giving early access on console platforms a trial. I like content updates as much as anyone but it did seem like the game was still in its very early stages. One thing I noticed straight away and found a little strange was the number of things in the selection screen that are ‘coming soon’. While the gameplay remains the same on the whole, there have been a few changes to mix things up a bit and tantalize both new and old players alike. Fast forward to 2019 and we have a very spontaneous drop of the highly anticipated sequel, fittingly titled, Risk of Rain 2. Risk of Rain came out for the PlayStation 4 back in 2016 and even though I only played it briefly I could see why so many people hold it in such high regard.
