This game is fun. Some days are bad. But generally I enjoy it. I'll say that every single update they do ♥♥♥♥♥ this game even harder. All the balance changes are ass and they should really just STOP UPDATING THIS GAME and let it live as it is right now.

But, y'know. Blizzard sucks. So they're gonna ruin this game harder anyway. I still enjoy it either way. Most of the balance changes aren't even that noticeable besides making certain characters more annoying to deal with/play than they were before.

Cassidy's ult is still useless as balls but sure, let's buff Sombra because she wasn't already annoying enough.

I feel like I have to change my review. It was positive, but I can't recommend it anymore. It's very limited in its scope. That beginner-friendly label feels like it's more-so because it just plain doesn't allow you to do anything that ISN'T beginner friendly.

I was holding out for a while that this would be updated soon and a lot of these shortcomings could be ironed out. But, as it stands, this program is very limited and it has been a long while with zero status updates on supposed improvements. If it gets a half-decent update I'd be willing to recommend it again, but without those improvements I can't.

EDIT: According to the Discord server, the developer isn't planning on updating this program any further. I would consider this program abandonware as, in my opinion, it is not finished and not adequate. With that in mind, I heavily recommend against buying this program. The developer claims that a new project was started, and was originally scheduled for "early 2025." As of August 15th 2025 there has been no update on plans for this program or the "new project."

This causes me to be heavily suspicious that this program is poorly made and the developer wasn't able to expand the program because he had to work past a lot of bugs. Good old "development hell."

Again, I highly recommend not buying this as I consider it unfinished and it will likely not be updated again.

Idunno, man. This.. experience, in many ways, blows me away. It's an experience that's quite unlike any other. The art, music, storytelling, etc are all very fantastic. Very. As a piece of art? This game flourishes. It is beauty wrapped in wonder. I love this world, I love the creatures that make it up. I want nothing more than to experience everything there is to experience in Rain World. See everything there is to see.

As a game, Rain World sucks. Hard. It is, and it sucks to say this - the worst game I have ever had the misfortune of playing. Rain World is unfair, brutal, uninspired, detached, and so much more. The fact that only 11% of people who have played this have earned the achievement related to beating the normal-difficulty character tells you a lot. I can tell you that 89% of people are not wrong.

You will die. Over, and over again. To things completely out of your control. Dropwigs sitting on the edge of the next screen will instantly kill you when you load the room. Lizards will sit at the exits of pipes, scavs will snipe you from across the map. Those with a negative IQ will tell you that you just have a skill issue and that all of those things can be overcome.

That is technically true. You can beat any obstacle simply by throwing yourself at it over and over until you learn how to beat it. But it makes for an incredibly unexciting, boring, and repetitive game.

Each character in Rain World only has about an hour or two of gameplay. But it will take you several days on your first attempt to complete due to the fact that without a walkthrough you will be wandering around aimlessly for much of that time. The game makes no effort to guide you towards your objectives, nor does it help you get there. The game presents almost 20-some odd regions to explore, all of them massive. If you make a wrong turn, that will take you hours to go back on.

At almost every step of the way, Rain World fails as a game. It isn't fun.
It's really nice to look at though. So go ahead and watch a youtuber play through it so you don't have to. Enjoy the art this game has to offer.

But don't play it. It sucks. Hard. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

I like it, but you should be warned that there's very little to actually do. At least it feels like there's not that much to do. With only collecting some story elements here and there, exploring the planets and asteroids, fighting aliens.. it does get old fast. But I do have to say that the scale is very impressive. From the planets down to every single individual little asteroid floating between them, you sure can land and explore every inch; and you might just find something among them that you didn't expect to see.
It has come a long way over the course of its life. If you compare what it looks like now to its first appearance on the steam store, it's impressive. It's also impressive the dev is still updating it after all this time.
For that reason, I'd say my $15 was "worth" it. The game's still a long way from finished, but I hope one day it'll reach that point.

the things that you can put on your desktop... oh the things...

At least Watch Dogs 1 had a respectable main character and a half-decent story. Opening this game, I am immediately bombarded with the most on-the-nose, predictable introduction to a story I could possibly imagine. They didn't even try to make it subtle. From the very beginning it forces you to sit through minutes long cutscenes where a narrator explains to you "GOVERNMENT BAD. GOVERNMENT SPY ON YOU. CORPORATION BAD. CORPORATION SELL DATA. ANARCHY GOOD. HACKER GOOD." The narration genuinely feels like I'm being lectured like a six year old.
The game also of course opens in the laziest way possible, following our protagonist breaking into a highly secure building to do something no one has ever done before. Who is he? How does he have the talents to delete his ctOS profile, something nobody has ever done before, and yet he somehow doesn't have the capacity to hack a forklift until you research it?
The dedsec characters themselves are also walking stereotypes of the modern internet. Every character is identified primarily by some surface-level detail about themselves. The protagonist and the other black character have almost nothing in common besides the fact that they're black, and that makes itself perfectly clear in the way that from the VERY moment these two characters speak for the first time the only thing they have to talk to eachother about is the fact that they're black.

If this is the level of storytelling I can expect out of this game, I'll pass. It feels more like I'm playing a piece of propaganda than it is a video game.

no patrick, a trans themed visual novel is not a good idea for a game

a sex work themed visual novel is not a good idea for a game either

I used to hate this game, but now I don't. It's actually pretty good. Just try to find the right loadout for you.

There's no gay sex. I hate women.

I've only gotten through ME1 so far. I'm on to ME2 and 3 soon, but let me tell you that if you've made the mistake of not getting this trilogy sooner, then get it now.
ME1 alone has about 30 hours of gameplay in it I reckon. Plus triple that if you plan on replaying the game a few times to try different paths and explore lost opportunities. Throughout my 26 hour playtime I made many hard decisions, and every one of them was incredibly gripping. I felt like lives were at stake, and I felt an immense weight on my shoulders, a deep-seated compulsion to save everyone I had come to know over the course of the campaign. But saving everyone isn't always possible. Sometimes you have to choose.
I chose. Sometimes I doubted my decisions, sometimes I wished I could have done things differently to see if things would have played out better.

That's what this game is. You're Commander Shepherd, and the weight of an entire galaxy is on your shoulders.
