My thoughts on Risk of Rain 2

I'm completely disappointed by the full release of this game. Several characters are still either completely OP or worthless. This game is even more RNG dependent than the last. The level design is mediocre at best and awful at worst. The levels are far too big for lower mobility characters so you'll be running huge distances. This is even more frustrating in multiplayer.

I'll mainly be directing my concerns to the last level which encapsulates all the flaws this game has. The final stage is boring and empty. Unlike the first game there's nothing interesting about it.
If you didn't get movement items you'll essentially spend five minutes running through an empty corridor with a few enemies.

Once you get to the boss it basically comes down to: "do you have hopoo feathers?".

He also has a stage where he steals your items allowing him to easily kill you in one hit, especially with the worse characters. Most of the time in this game you will die in just one or two hits, there's no sense of pressure. One moment you are doing extremely well and the next you are dead. It feels random.

Risk of rain 1 worked primarily because of its 2d environment. The devs unfortunately tried to literally translate many of its items and features without regard for its functionality in a 3d environment. It ends up feeling like a mess.

I've spent many hours on this game at this point and it was purely because I thought it would get better, especially with the full release. I was wrong. This game isn't fun like the first one was, nor does it have its style. It's an exercise in frustration and nothing more.

I just wrote this
Thanks :)

Another thing I forgot to mention, the visual clutter in this game is awful. I actually am reluctant to grab things like the frost relic because it just clogs the screen up in such an unsightly way. I'll be coming up with more criticisms as this thread progressives, stay subscribed, guys.

No one asked.

It's a videogame discussion board. You implicitly asked for this by coming here and posting in this thread. You're welcome.

i feel exactly the same.
i've only played like 4-5 hours of 1,0 and jesus christ, nothing improved, in fact, the mediocre/good characters got nerfed horribly (Mercenary now ranks worse than Artifacer thanks to his armor removal) the new items are barely there, the music never got better (there's literally only 2, TWO fucking good songs in the game compared to the soundtrack of 1, Chris is a fucking hack) nad the last stage, jesus christ the last stage is the biggest fucking slap in the face ever.

IT'S A FUCKING SMALL CORRIDOR THAT ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF AND A POOL OF ONLY 2 ENEMIES

AND THE FINAL BOSS IS A FUCKING JOKE THAT CAN 1 SHOT YOU UNLESS YOU JUST SPAM YOUR PROJECTILES, AT WHICH POINT HE BECOMES SUCH A NON-ISSUE IT'S FUCKING LAUGHABLE.

i've been disappointed before, but it looks like Gearbox already assimilated Hoppo to the point of no return.
no big loss though, Gunfire reborn already replaced Risk of Gay 2 for me.

>He also has a stage where he steals your items allowing him to easily kill you in one hit
I finally beat the game today and wtf is this meme he gives you back all the items during the fight so it isn't even a problem you just have to dodge and he doesn't do very dangerous attacks.

I thought it was pretty boring overall. Played for a few hours and you've basically experienced everything. There's a few more unlocks sure but the core experience isn't changing much past those initial hours.

>hasn't happened to me so it doesn't exist
slam your face into your desk

I'm a shitter that plays on rainstorm so I'm sure I'm screwing up on multiple fronts but I cannot deal with that last phase
I die almost every attempt there because after he steals my items he kind of instakills me and I don't know how to deal with this.

this didn't unlock the challenge
kinda not sure why though. webm is 6 seconds long and boss doesn't take any damage until 1 second in
must have been close rip

He gives you back the itemslmao just dodge faggot like just stay alive for a little lmao .

>folks say Loader is the easiest character
>managed to get alt skins on all of the rooster except Acric, MUL-T (fuck him) and Loader
>go for a binge-runs on Loaders to get that skins
>3 days later still don't have the skin

Why do people say this survivor is easy? Because of mobility or what?

Whenever there's a multi-boss spawn one only of them counts as a "boss" and the rest are enemies. You just chunked the wrong one.

bros...how do i unlock commando alts on monsoon? i'm hitting the enemies with a fucking wet noodle.

RNG is a fun part of roguegames, but you should still be able to mitigate bad RNG with good skill. This game isn't a good example of that.

I just got this game yesterday and have no idea what I'm doing or what the character unlock missions even mean, is there a guide for complete beginners?

Just find a tritip printer in the first 2 levels LMAO

Sacrifice + Swarm is the best way to play this game.

Oh you gonna get it now boy the RNG can do no wrong you just gotta #gitgud like woolie says

>shoot enemy
>get money
>open chests
>get items
>repeat
>also find the teleporter so you can shoot boss and go to next stage
you'll figure the rest out on your own.

I'm confused, how is picking every drop the same as recycling bad drops and hoping you get a good printer?
