Risk of Rain 2
Escape a chaotic alien planet by fighting through hordes of frenzied monsters – with your friends, or on your own. Combine loot in surprising ways and master each character until you become the havoc you feared upon your first crash landing.

“game was rotting in my library, a friend hyped me over it, told me stuff abt it, now i cant stop playing”
“The gameplay loop is incredibly addictive, and the way the difficulty scales alongside your power makes it impossible to put down. You’ll say "just one more run" at midnight and suddenly realize it's 5 am. The…”

“Man this game is so fun, but the only problem is when i get to stage 50+ my pc crashes cause i have to many proc items. And the music is PEAK. Highly recomend if you wanna comit mass murder on a planet.”
“Fun fact! There's a bug in this game that's been known about for at least four years that shorts your laptop's keyboard just, randomly! Had to replace an entire computer, first time I ever played this game on a laptop.…”
“the alloyed collective transport drone plays the earth shockwave effect constantly and crashes your game i don't reccomend recruiting the drone or equipping it with operator until it is fixed”

“Time and time again will I chance being saturated by torrential precipitation. God-like builds that can drag framerates down on even the strongest PCs and yet a single mistake will end your run in less time than it…”
“Best game ever. This will forever be my favorite game. Frames dropped to zero for 30 minutes, gave me just enough time to stroke it and get back to it!!!!!”
“Amazing game, but having a "Ghor's Tome" in the late game will bring down your PC to his knees (once I had 1 frame every 4-5 seconds for 1 or 2 minutes). But after 100%ing the game, I still don't know if it will rain.”

“one of THE greatest games of all time . 1 billion % worth the money . It is kind of hurt by power creep a little bit but its really not that bad .”
“Nice game to play with friends and get frustrated over and over and over and over and over and over again!! I can truely recommend it :]”
“Do not enjoy multiplayer, unforgiving death mechanics mean when you die and your friends progress you are now behind in levels and loot meaning it will be easier to die in the next area and so on and so forth.”

“Genuinely incredible game. I will be honest there are some bugs, multiplayer in particular can be bad if you have crossplay enabled. BUT if you enjoy smooth combat, leveling to get stronger and stronger, constantly…”

“Good, but frustrating. It's a lot of fun to run around collecting power-ups and becoming overpowered. The unlockables make it worthwhile to push higher stages and play different characters. The game is well optimized,…”
