I initially picked up this game at the recommendation of a friend. I had briefly played the first game in co-op while visiting a different friend a few years back - I didn't remember much of it so I truly didn't know what to expect from ROR2 at the time!

Looking back on this now, it is incredible to see what the devs have achieved translating the core concept of the first game into the 3D world of the second game. I have rarely seen any form of rogue-like game structured in a 3D world - normally most developers stick to the 2D or top down approach on the genre.

This is the only instance of a 3D rogue-like that I have ever seen done well.

Bearing that statement in mind this game is a blast solo or alone, between the intricate ways in which items interact with the different survivors, the amazing backing soundtrack for the game, and the very ethereal art style the game has - every stage is an excellent experience.

So get out there survivor, let's find a way off this planet.
