Developed by Hopoo Games, released in 2020 with a DLC released in 2023, Risk of Rain 2 is a third-person roguelike shooter, marking a radical style switch from the first game. With a new dimension, the already fast action becomes a frenetic race to find the teleporter and survive the onslaught of enemies and bosses.

To aid the player in this quest items are randomly spread throughout the different environments that are gradually transform whatever character chosen in the start of the run into a survivor. Speaking of characters, there are 14, each with different initial abilities, allowing for wildly different playstyles.

Another layer of growing complexity is the items available. From attack speed to shields, all can be modified with the items presented in chests, pods and even dropping after killing bosses, similar to the first game. Playing with different characters and item combinations ease the learning experience showing optimal combinations.

The multiplayer is also another great point of this game. Like many other games, playing with friends is a lot of fun, but there are also public games that you can join. This part of the game also demonstrates another important aspect of the characters, learning how to use the items to enhance each character’s particularities and the possible combinations with other characters.

The game follows a pattern. You land in an alien planet, look for items, shrines, and eventually the teleporter, which after activation, a boss will spawn. After killing that boss, and waiting for the teleporter to fully charge, you are transported to another place. Secrets can sometimes be found in some maps, so exploration is vital. In addition to all previously mentioned aspects, the game also has alternative game modes, where special challenges are present once you feel ready.

The soundtrack is another thing that deserves a special place, it complements the outlandish alien vistas incredibly well, creating an impressive mixture of relaxed tones and anticipation for all the battles you’ll have in the game.

Considering a new style, still reminiscent of the first game, all the collectables, challenges, and fun this game provides, I highly recommend Risk of Rain 2.
