Risk of Rain Returns Review - The Final Verdict

  • Risk of Rain is back but in remastered form with Risk of Rain Returns. The quirky pixel art is now in HD and multiplayer finally has lobbies and a proper server browser. However, it's the base experience that will draw players in, tempting them with another run despite the sheer madness of higher difficulties.
    New Survivors and alternate skills only enhance the experience further. It does incredible justice to the game while going above and beyond to enhance and improve it for a contemporary audience.

    Risk of Rain is a game I've never heared about of it but this Risk of Rain Returns looks surprisilly good an old 8-bit retro-style 2d action shooter platformer game and I like it. By the way there have been relased one game in yesterday what no one talking about and it's Tintin reporter Cigars of Pharaoh, there's no videos about of it there is only a trailers so would you Gamingbolt make a review video of that new Tintin game, it would be so nice because Tintin is one of my favourite cartoons. I should try this Risk of Rain Returns this game looks so fun and that video was good Gamingbolt THANK YOU! 🔥🔥

    This game sucks massive balls. I love ROR2, love the fast paced combat. You can't even aim in this game! Why are the controls restricted to only shooting straight infront of you? On startup the game even offers multiple control schemes. One even called " Risk of Rain 2 " controls. Turns out all that does is allow you to shoot using left and right click, your character doesn't turn in the direction of your mouse. Mega disappointing.
