So, Risk of Rain 2, where do I even begin with this.

First of all, let's put it out of the way, that, this game, for returning Risk of Rain 1 players, is, as I've heard, a RoR1 experience but in 3D and with more ♥♥♥♥. I personally have gotten into this franchise starting with 2, so, yeah.

~210 hours and I still feel like a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ noob, there's just so much to learn and experience in this game it is outright unfathomable, whether it be item synergies, survivor quirks, stage variants, or enemy behavior and types, this is a ROGUE-LIKE, so, what you'll be seeing/getting the first time you drop on the hellscape that is Petrichor V, probably won't be the same as your tenth, well, kind of, you'll learn, adapt, and overcome.

Has a pretty good skill floor and a pretty good skill ceiling, ♥♥♥♥'s expansive. Don't be afraid to go on Drizzle, it's there for a reason.

Every survivor is viable, every item is viable, until you get to lunars, which have a debuff. But don't worry about it now lol, I bet by the time you get to experimenting properly with those you'll have an idea of what you're doing (I didn't)

Multiple ways to end a run, you can go on forever until your PC explodes, or you can end it in a cool boss fight/escape sequence, or you can do a *couple of other thingies that I'll leave for you to figure out*

Overall, this game is tons of fun, I'm glad I discovered it, my build making stat number crunching noodle is satisfied.

I might write a better review at some point but this'll do for now.
