A quiet favourite
Spend 90 minutes on a single run, upgrade your character to the point that you melt everything in seconds then enemies get to the point where you're killed almost instantly and you get instantly killed. Cry for 10 minutes. Then start a new playthrough. Good times.

Beautiful, sophisticated, yet brutal
Beautiful, sophisticated, yet brutal. Yes, like your new girlfriend, Risk of Rain is a ball of wonderment and pain. In this rogue-like platformer, you run around each level trying to find a teleporter. Meanwhile, enemies spawn randomly; killing them gives you gold with which you can open containers with upgrades for your character. Once you find a teleporter, you fight a boss and ultimately move on to the next level. The catch? The longer you play, the tougher the enemies become! So speed is of the essence as well as quick reflexes and mob management. The artstyle for this game is pixel based, and it's wonderful how much character these little sprites have! The tiny animations are smooth, and watching an enemy explode into blocks of meat chunks is satisfying. The music is also fantastic; it's a hauntin track that sounds like a dubstep/trance hybrid one moment and a thumping bass the next. And the gameplay: oh boy, is this game tough! But you come out of it a better man (or woman) with blistered fingers and a beard on her knuckles (that goes for the women too). So this game comes highly recommended! There are a lot of achievements/unlockables including new items and classes, so the replay value is truly up there. Do yourself a favor and pick up Risk of Rain!

Stop adding me without even saying anything
Stop adding me without even saying anything. Jesus Christ have some decency serious review? serious review. Risk of Rain is an extremely addictive arcade style 2D platformer shoot-em-up with roguelike elements. Gameplay consists of dying a lot attempting to reach and activate the stage exit teleporter in each level, there are a total of 6 levels to complete per game before achieving TOTAL VICTORY Online Co-Op, many characters with their own unique playstyle, randomly generated level layouts, and loads of items keep gameplay fresh and exciting so you can just get goat hooves and syringes and win instantly Gameplay Tight, responsive controls and enough characters to pick a playstyle that you enjoy make this an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. Graphics A charming, simple artstyle with smooth animations makes this game a treat for the eyes. Sound An expertly done soundtrack brings a LOT to the table, sound quality is good, sound effects aren't obnoxious. Story A very ambigous story, no definite answers are given, but clues are relayed through item logs and monster descriptions. Multiplayer? This game features both local and online co-op, the co-op system (especially online) is a bit excruciatingly buggy, but very fun to play with friends. Fun? The artstyle, gameplay, and unpredictability of this game make for an extremely enjoyable time. Category
