The best game I've ever played.
Very fun gameplay, a lot of cute things, a fairly big free-roamable world with a lot of secrets and things to find, many things to do even after you finished the game... And all made mostly by a single person.

This game is about a bunny named Erina who somehow got transformed into human and wants to find their master and then starting to uncover mysteries that Rabi-Rabi island has. A simple task turns into a big adventure with a lot of memorable moments... And all this in format of a mix between bullet hell and metroidvania, with some tough platforming sections here and there. If you want to get into bullet hell games or platformers, playing this could be one of the stepping stones into those two genres in a way... Since it gives you understanding of concepts those games are based around.

The game offers a wide variety of difficulty settings that can accommodate to each type of player. Starting from a difficulty that anyone can clear implying they try (literally anyone i mean), to difficulty that only the very few can do... Which seems impossible at first sight and is called such in the game as well.

Also this game is the only one I played that has speedrun mode - a mode that skips all the story stuff and shows in-game timer with item/map% shown as well. Due to the world being open, there are very many ways to build yourself a speedrun route for this game. There are many factors that can impact your route choice, but for some of the main categories there is a couple of really bad tricks that can kill your run in the middle / end if you want a very optimized route...

This game is perfect for people that enjoy challenges of many kinds, be that simply obtaining all achievements, beating the game fast, with various handicaps, or even beating the game with all items being randomized. (I don't suggest randomizer to anyone who has not memorized every single item location though)

And for people who want to enjoy the game casually there is a lot of cuteness, glorious OST and a lot of fun to have...

I tried to be brief with this review and also didn't have my thoughts organized enough, but in short: buy this game if you like any of the following:
1. Challenges
2. Cute things
3. Bunnies
4. Metroidvanias


Also I REALLY suggest anyone buying this game to at least buy "Is the Order a DLC", this DLC expands the game story, makes it much more interesting and adds new mechanics to the game. For people that want more challenge they can buy Before Next Adventure as well.
10/10 in all categories. Don't even need to list the categories. (S+)

Note: My achievements were reset and all my timestamps are different from actual ones. Due to it happening due to a certain accident, the developer decided to add a new launch option for me to be able to reset and still stay at #14 (#1, because 13 people were hackers) in achievement leaderboard as I was the first person to obtain every achievement after cocoa DLC was released.
The new launch option is -noachiupload, it prevents uploading achievement score to leaderboard so I can reset achievements without affecting the board.
Actual time of completion is about 250 hours.
All valid achievement timestamps are here: https://truesteamachievements.com/game/RabiRibi/achievements?gamerid=46228
Was participating in the beta of Cocoa DLC since day 1.
Obtained every achievement it had at 10.12.2020 (dd.mm.yyyy)
after that... my achievements messed up.
