I just started playing and I’m using this to frantically find cover for the rain lol. My favorite thing about this is that you get so much adrenaline from the beasts when they chase you, I’ve hidden in tunnels to get away from the mosquito monsters when they tried to find me. It’s also the doom that you feel when you hear the rain coming and just *know* you won’t make it back to a safe spot. But if you do, then you have this kind of anxious laughter of relief, only to think “where do I go now? What do I do?” It really portrays a sense of survival and that terror of realizing you won’t survive if you don’t move quickly. Gets you thinking like an animal.
Totally agree. I'm not sure I know of another game that really makes you feel like the character; a small creature lost in a harsh environment. You really are forced to adapt and get comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Hard to find games like this one.
thanks for making a video about this game. I genuinely think this is a masterpiece but it doesn't get much coverage and when it does, a lot of people give it bad reviews. The thing is, this game is better experienced if you go into it with patience and just try to push onward, no matter how agonizing it can be. It's more of an experience or a piece of art than a "normal" video game.
This game is definitely challenging, and I think that's the reason it doesn't get the attention it really deserves which has been pointed out by many reviewers. This is the type of game I enjoy; it requires experimentation and learning, and punishes brutally at times when you make mistakes. This is what makes the game frustrating and also very rewarding. To say that people shouldn't play the game or that it is a waste of time isn't right. This just may not be the game for everyone if that isn't the experience you are looking for. If that's the case, thanks for watching the video so you can still appreciate how amazing this game is.
For anybody who thinks that Rain World is too difficult or scary to play for themselves and would rather watch a playthrough, this is the video that you are looking for. Edit: To all the guys in the comments saying RW isn't scary - Good for you! However art is a subjective medium, and different people have differing experiences when playing it. Seeing as it isn't obvious enough already, I feel the need to point out that my comment clearly isn't intended for big brave boys like yourself. Now for the love of all that is holy, please leave me the fuck alone 🙃

@J Mz you have to make a long jump right on the edge. It can be a little finicky so I'd recommend throwing something (like a rock) while you jump bc it gives you extra speed
I think that in terms of 2d graphics there is nothing as impressive and graphically alive as this. No wonder it took about 5 or 6 years. It's jaw-dropping, I'm here just watching and learning just by watching. There are a million lessons here in game design and art that you can be inspired and learn just by watching. A masterpiece of art a thousand years ahead of all the repetitive and lazy platform games, more of the same old.
Once the rain starts falling, if you have a controller with HD rumble, you can physically feel the pattern of rain smashing against the ground. Its terrifying, the panic i experienced as the rain starts falling is nothing ive felt playing other games…
I'm so happy this exists. Thanks you you I was able to go through the game with an idea of where to go without spoiling anything. Just going one world zone at a time along with you. When I saw the direction I would pause and figure it out from there only pressing play if I was stuck or beat the area. I found this video quite sometime ago and kept coming back. You are the reason I was able to survive and enjoy this game while learning the ropes. I hope to find the other characters on the channel now that I have finally finished the survivor 107 cycles, 6 months of casual playing, and 16 hours of in game time later. Time for Gormand, Hunter, then Artificer in that order. Wish me luck!
I am currently playing Rainworld, and I have to say: it´s easily one of the best games I EVER played! The gameplay is absolutely unique, and you get addicted even when you just have little progress. You get better and better no matter how much you are stuck. And the further you get (you WILL get further, even at the hard places), the more you are fascinated by the incredible world! Poeple say its very hard, that is true - but its also very balanced, since there are ALWAYS noumerous ways to get further, you just have to EXPLORE! The game is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!! 😍😱🤯 (I even bought the soundtrack on Vinyl!)

Thank you so much. I have been stuck in multiple playthroughs going the wrong way. I couldn’t find one that told me where to go, but this takes the normal route and lets me experience the normal rainworld path. Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏
Through all the great difficulties the game throws at the player which is a lot, and the tripy moments near the end to eventually getting to the end. Definitely worth the game play and going through the many difficulties just to get to the end :3
I came in thinking it was going to be a simple story about a slugcat trying to get back to their family but no it's ... I don't know what that was. What is that, why is that what IS happening??????
I love how I've first seen this game years ago by seeing a video like this. Unfortunately, i couldn't find the video, but I know I put to sleep. It ended up that this game is my favorite game now.
Good to know it's not just me who thinks Sky Islands is way too hard in terms of difficulty spike. It's the longest part of the video. I whined nonstop going thru that area that I died more in just Sky Islands than the entire rest of my playthrough. Devs should seriously fix that area.
The RNG is so brutal. I've had runs that go through no problem just because the lizards aren't in the way. Also tons of places you can fall with the slightest input error. I'm much better at it now, but still struggle with this area more than others.
i died the most in five pebbles than sky islands, and that was only because by the time i got there, i learned how to kill the lizards and vultures and steal advanced tools from scavengers
You've been complimented on this plenty of times already in the comments, but I've just gotta add to the pile! Thank you so so much for playing through the whole game, showing not just your narrowing escapes and daring adventures (I was at the edge of my seat numerous times!!), but your failures, too. It was incredible watching every minute of this!! I've desperately wanted to play Rain World but just couldn't get used to the sometimes intense gameplay- so this was the perfect video for me to enjoy the game to it's fullest through you. Really excited to watch your other Rainworld playthroughs now, to see how it's like to play the other slugcats and how their adventures go. Thank you so much!!
@@two2truths i hate creepy things and i’d get really scared from the lizards or vultures and the lore scares me + i get sad about the game’s start and end but the gameplay is nice to watch (i am not young, i just dislike these things)
I've been following along with a streamer playing this for the first time, but it's taking a long time and I wanted to see more of that universe to better understand what was going on. I'm not a gamer, and reading the wiki just isn't the same. thanks for providing us with a taste of what it's like to play rain world, I truly feel like I got to experience something great. :)
15:50 so... IT IS POSSIBLE TO GETAWAY FROM LIZARDS ONCE THEY CATCH YOU???? Or what... Do you know how many times I've ended up between its jaws thinking that I'm done?... This game is too much. Bro I thought this walkthrough was really interesting and it doesn't disappoint me. Cheers
That's one of the coolest parts! I've gotten out of some really bad situations because some other creature starts fighting over who gets to eat the Slugcat lol. You can just escape while they fight each other! You can also just wait and see where the lizard takes you. Another way to explore parts of the map you haven't seen yet!. One of my few complaints about the game is that it is very hard to tell if you are actually dead, or just playing dead and being carried. Of course you can tell by seeing Slugcat's eyes either showing (>.
@@longplaytv4402 That's so cool. Good to know. It makes me want to let me catch by them to "express exploration" or just to see how I'm gonna get off of its jaws. In fact I'm going to get down to work lol
The gravity drive section of Five Pebbles is breaking me. I've done it thirty times or more and I just can't get through it. I think I've hit my skill ceiling or something.
If you're playing on survivor, there's a couple different ways you can go. I'd recommend trying to go back the other way if you are getting stuck. Going through the Unfortunate Development can be pretty quick, but also dangerous. Don't give up! If you made it that far, you can make it to the end.
i love how the most replayed part of the video is getting from industrial to outskirts, everyone be struggling on that part ig. (feels good not to be alone in my suffering :) )
For the people who say the game isn't rewarding... it is. It is when you notice it and nice when you get the best of it. We need more games that are expecting you to understand everything. You're new to this game, deal with it! The ending isn't the only reward but it surely is the best ending I've ever seen! Lets you with mixed feelings but the show is something you'll never experience twice. The game isn't that hard all the time. The randomness of the game makes the painfull experience die when you're lucky enough. Try it. End it and when you finish the game you'll have tears. That's one of the rewards but it's normal.
Well, after your second den, our playthroughs were completely different. It's funny how diverse our journeys were. I never knew over half the dens you used.
Honest question, what is supposed to be represented in the ending? The creature, main protagonist, died and rejoined with other creatures' souls in a creatures' heaven by any chance?
@@brunesis a long time fan of the game since its release, ive recently just played through the game again and all of its DLC. MAJOR SPOILERS The ending is meant to represent the slugcats life (lives?) coming to an end. In Rain World, every creature is in an endless cycle of being reborn for eternity. A lot of the less sentient creatures have very little awareness of this, and many do not care. Some of the more intelligent like the ancient civilization that existed a very, very long time before the events of the game, as well as the Slugcats and scavengers (the monkey like animal), are more aware of this. They can somewhat remember their past lives, and all of their past suffering. From what I can tell, with time the ability to remember this may become more clear, and they become more and more aware of their own endless suffering. Eventually, creatures like our slugcat become desperate to leave it all behind. Creatures that have no ego and no desires left to chain them to the world will ascend once they come into contact with the void, and they will finally TRULY die, in the same sense that many Hindus believe we are all being reincarnated, and letting go of ego is the only way to stop this. Creatures and people with strong egos cannot fully ascend - they become echos, the giant writhing creatures you see, that appear to bend reality to some extent. These echos are stuck in a position where they are tortured for eternity, they are somewhere inbetween life and death, this world and the next and can never ascend. And when I say eternity, i really do mean eternity. They also cannot interact with the world, but can be seen by creatures with high karma, onto whom they can enlighten in a sense. In the case of our slugcat, they successfully and truly ascend. When they ascend, all of their past incarnations also truly get to die, and are present with them in the void sea. These are who I believe are in the tree in the void. After that our slugcat has left the world truly, finally being able to rest, before the game ends, and we again see the rain, a reminder that although our slugcat was lucky, life will continue for eternity. Rain World takes massive inspiration from Hinduism. Rain in Hinduism can represent renewal and rebirth, the endless rain in rain world can be seen as representing the endless rebirth of life. This game is extremely poetic when you look into it, it says so much with few lines of dialogue. It is by a pretty wide margin my favourite game of all time. This is all I could go over now, but I could gush over it for hours… As the original comment says, it is almost a video game equivalent to Interstellar. Its so beautifully crafted and takes advantage of video games as a medium so well… most of what I love about the game I cannot describe, it is the actual gameplay and how it feels to play it that is the best part. Like interstellar, the experience will stick with you for a very long time.
@@Big-Chungus21i think the other slugcats at the tree are supposed to be other scugs that have ascended aswell? in monks ending we see that survivor and monk are reunited.
I honestly don't know if this game is for me. I really like the atmosphere and maybe harassing lizards, but I can't really find the motivation to keep going forward. Only played this game for 2 hours lol, so I only have shallow experience of the game. Edit: Nevermind, I've been liking it more when it got more challenging.
That's a different route, and harder imo. I think I've seen 100% speedruns go that route. I went that way on my first playthrough and turned around cause I got a bit stuck.
@elijahr_1998 After 243 hours at rain world I have to disagree, it's my absolute favorite game now. It's a work of art. I am not the same person i was a year ago
I learned about this game through C.A I have not (And likely never will) played this game. But this game feels so lifelike. It pulls you into a alternate version of what life could have been. Well done.
Anyone that decided to Play it for yourself, if you find yourself in a flooded tunnel with small pockets of air in roof and lots of bubble foods, do not go straight all the way, you'll find yourself in a dead end Update: i finished the game, can't describe the ending
When I decided to watch this video about this game, to see what it was about my mind was like (from the begining): oh yeah cute lil' bug and it's adventures. My mind in the ending: :0000000
bro honestly this is such a great way to experience the game. I've got no time in my life to play this game for 20+ hours, but six hours?? easily i can spend watching over the course of a month. it feels like I'm watching a living creature go about this beautifully deadly world. (i also hate seeing the little fella die when i tried to play it)
Spoilers for those who don't know My theory: You actually died from drowning at 1:29 and are stuck in a purgatory after that.. it would explain why you see so many bizarre things and why you don't see any of your species because it's only you in this purgatory. You are able to "die" and come back and avoid the dangers you faced in your last life because you can't fully die until you ascend into the afterlife. It's also shown in the intro that the rain wouldn't actually kill you from how hard it falls but in the purgatory it does because water is how you died. You go through all these tests to finally ascend and get to join and rest with your ancestors..
SPOILRR ALERT: Actually this theory is pretty good but proven FALSE, because in the Downpour, -You could revisit the place of the intro of your survivor/monk campaign. You can go the place where your family was, the journeys end, and also have an easter egg where you can revisit your *trauma* and go from a specific place to Outskirts. THE INTRO MUSIC also plays during it.
My friend recommended me this game so I’m gonna watch this play through, he gave the links so wish me luck!! I’m kinda excited to see what this game is like lol
Just a tip but not all creatures are bad even you can make some of them help you😊 some of them will attack you even if you help them but you should be nice with some of them it is rewarding😊 and i dont understand why this game is not more populare the Fauna is so alive and feels real and the creatures and the interaction with them feels impredictible and unexpected and AMAZING Thanks for bring us this Expectacular Game but of course THIS NEED ACTION BABYYYYYY
I wanna see this now but I don’t rly have time so I’m scrolling through a lot of the video and my god does that make the change of environment.. sudden? harsh? my vocab sucks you know what I mean. But it’s like wow, it’s a very beautiful-looking game and I hear the AI is amazing and what is going on in this computer-y looking area I am so intimidated
(guy commenting on a 5h long video) damn i'd love to play this game if i was sure i wasn't going to start sobbing incontrollably every time the intro plays out 1:59 .
Pretty late reply, but yeah. They all have different lore, although it might not seem like it at first. Even the monk is slightly different, but not as much as hunter. So if you didn't already watch those playthroughs, i recommend you do :)
is there or can there be a commentary version? i'm also trying to find out if doing the thing in the depths is the only actual ending and i hope it's not.
I might think about it, but there isn't a commentary version at this point. I've played through the game several times and that is the only ending I've seen for the Survivor. Of course, the other slug cats have different endings which are in some way related. Thanks for the suggestion!
Can someone here tell me where I should've gone? I went from industrial complex to chimney canopy (end my life please) but what was to the right? Or left?
That was the way I went my first time and almost made me quit the game! It is possible, but tough! From Industrial Complex, the way this playthrough went was basically down to the left, toward Garbage Wastes, which I think it probably best. If you are a little more daring, the upper path to the left will take you to the Shaded Citadel, which is pretty tough if you don't have a light source, but you can also cheese using the map to find your way without one. 👍
True! That region is pretty harsh. I thought about maybe posting another run with all regions to get the wanderer passage. Maybe that and all the echoes.

@@two2truths i hate creepy things and i’d get really scared from the lizards or vultures and the lore scares me + i get sad about the game’s start and end
but the gameplay is nice to watch
(i am not young, i just dislike these things)
@@Fideli-imperatori :) yes
This game is so incredibly but I haven't even gotten close to finishing it cause it's too hard and frustrating lol
I've been following along with a streamer playing this for the first time, but it's taking a long time and I wanted to see more of that universe to better understand what was going on. I'm not a gamer, and reading the wiki just isn't the same. thanks for providing us with a taste of what it's like to play rain world, I truly feel like I got to experience something great. :)
Dude your fighting with the lizard at 16:00 and past that is so funny you’re rolling around over and over 😂
I was really hoping that scavenger would help me out, but nope! Just watched as the lizard tore me up lol.
@@longplaytv4402 That scavenger didn't give a singular crap😭
15:50 so... IT IS POSSIBLE TO GETAWAY FROM LIZARDS ONCE THEY CATCH YOU???? Or what...
Do you know how many times I've ended up between its jaws thinking that I'm done?...
This game is too much.
Bro I thought this walkthrough was really interesting and it doesn't disappoint me.
Cheers
That's one of the coolest parts! I've gotten out of some really bad situations because some other creature starts fighting over who gets to eat the Slugcat lol. You can just escape while they fight each other! You can also just wait and see where the lizard takes you. Another way to explore parts of the map you haven't seen yet!.
One of my few complaints about the game is that it is very hard to tell if you are actually dead, or just playing dead and being carried. Of course you can tell by seeing Slugcat's eyes either showing (>.
@@longplaytv4402 That's so cool. Good to know.
It makes me want to let me catch by them to "express exploration" or just to see how I'm gonna get off of its jaws. In fact I'm going to get down to work lol
The gravity drive section of Five Pebbles is breaking me. I've done it thirty times or more and I just can't get through it. I think I've hit my skill ceiling or something.
If you're playing on survivor, there's a couple different ways you can go. I'd recommend trying to go back the other way if you are getting stuck. Going through the Unfortunate Development can be pretty quick, but also dangerous. Don't give up! If you made it that far, you can make it to the end.
@@longplaytv4402 I'm too stubborn to actually quit. I'll get through it eventually. Thanks for the advice.
i love how the most replayed part of the video is getting from industrial to outskirts, everyone be struggling on that part ig. (feels good not to be alone in my suffering :) )
It's so unclear what you're supposed to do
Este es unos de los juegos de plataformas que mas interes le tengo
Es increíble como esta hecho el comportamiento de los enemigos y la ambientación :3
For the people who say the game isn't rewarding... it is. It is when you notice it and nice when you get the best of it. We need more games that are expecting you to understand everything. You're new to this game, deal with it!
The ending isn't the only reward but it surely is the best ending I've ever seen!
Lets you with mixed feelings but the show is something you'll never experience twice.
The game isn't that hard all the time. The randomness of the game makes the painfull experience die when you're lucky enough.
Try it. End it and when you finish the game you'll have tears. That's one of the rewards but it's normal.
Well, after your second den, our playthroughs were completely different. It's funny how diverse our journeys were. I never knew over half the dens you used.
11:15 immediate nope
nah an immediate SNACK
Best ending in any SCI-FI EVER!!!! WOW!! Felt like I was watching Interstellar
Honest question, what is supposed to be represented in the ending? The creature, main protagonist, died and rejoined with other creatures' souls in a creatures' heaven by any chance?
@@brunesis a long time fan of the game since its release, ive recently just played through the game again and all of its DLC.
MAJOR SPOILERS
The ending is meant to represent the slugcats life (lives?) coming to an end. In Rain World, every creature is in an endless cycle of being reborn for eternity. A lot of the less sentient creatures have very little awareness of this, and many do not care. Some of the more intelligent like the ancient civilization that existed a very, very long time before the events of the game, as well as the Slugcats and scavengers (the monkey like animal), are more aware of this. They can somewhat remember their past lives, and all of their past suffering.
From what I can tell, with time the ability to remember this may become more clear, and they become more and more aware of their own endless suffering. Eventually, creatures like our slugcat become desperate to leave it all behind. Creatures that have no ego and no desires left to chain them to the world will ascend once they come into contact with the void, and they will finally TRULY die, in the same sense that many Hindus believe we are all being reincarnated, and letting go of ego is the only way to stop this. Creatures and people with strong egos cannot fully ascend - they become echos, the giant writhing creatures you see, that appear to bend reality to some extent. These echos are stuck in a position where they are tortured for eternity, they are somewhere inbetween life and death, this world and the next and can never ascend. And when I say eternity, i really do mean eternity. They also cannot interact with the world, but can be seen by creatures with high karma, onto whom they can enlighten in a sense.
In the case of our slugcat, they successfully and truly ascend. When they ascend, all of their past incarnations also truly get to die, and are present with them in the void sea. These are who I believe are in the tree in the void. After that our slugcat has left the world truly, finally being able to rest, before the game ends, and we again see the rain, a reminder that although our slugcat was lucky, life will continue for eternity.
Rain World takes massive inspiration from Hinduism. Rain in Hinduism can represent renewal and rebirth, the endless rain in rain world can be seen as representing the endless rebirth of life. This game is extremely poetic when you look into it, it says so much with few lines of dialogue. It is by a pretty wide margin my favourite game of all time. This is all I could go over now, but I could gush over it for hours…
As the original comment says, it is almost a video game equivalent to Interstellar. Its so beautifully crafted and takes advantage of video games as a medium so well… most of what I love about the game I cannot describe, it is the actual gameplay and how it feels to play it that is the best part. Like interstellar, the experience will stick with you for a very long time.
@@Big-Chungus21Your comment is so underrated...
@@Big-Chungus21i think the other slugcats at the tree are supposed to be other scugs that have ascended aswell? in monks ending we see that survivor and monk are reunited.
^ but again i think it’s like a “your wishes come true” type of situation with the void.
Thanks for helping me out:) memory crypts was my enemy
Memory Crypts is awful, totally agree!
I honestly don't know if this game is for me. I really like the atmosphere and maybe harassing lizards, but I can't really find the motivation to keep going forward. Only played this game for 2 hours lol, so I only have shallow experience of the game.
Edit: Nevermind, I've been liking it more when it got more challenging.
Uhh hey I um went from industrial complex to chimney canopy so um is that like a speedrun thing or just a different route?
That's a different route, and harder imo. I think I've seen 100% speedruns go that route. I went that way on my first playthrough and turned around cause I got a bit stuck.
Amazing.. thank you for doing this
9:51 I didn't know it was supposed to open. So I spent 3 hours in the outskirts roaming for nothing
Same
@@cayo_tayo2532 it doesnt let me do that and my thing at the bottom left flashes red
@@zig5465 your karma level is too low
It will open if your karma is high enough
@@cayo_tayo2532 ye i just did it
@@cayo_tayo2532 So cool how the game gives you no way to check what karma level you're at until you either get there or die
Bruh, I just spent 1.5 hours In Outskirts not knowing that door is supposed to open💀
i spent 2.5 hours 💀
I spent 3.5 hours 💀
Literally. It doesn't look like a door. Nothing in this game is clear, it's so lazily designed.
@elijahr_1998 After 243 hours at rain world I have to disagree, it's my absolute favorite game now. It's a work of art.
I am not the same person i was a year ago
@@kayawva Glad to hear. I think it is possible for a game to be both challenging *and* enjoyable. For me, rain world is only one of these things.
Dropwigs are fucking terrifying holy- but this was very helpful!
Always the worst jump scare in the game lol
@@longplaytv4402 Omg tell me about it :’)
I learned about this game through C.A
I have not (And likely never will) played this game.
But this game feels so lifelike. It pulls you into a alternate version of what life could have been.
Well done.
thanks for making this video i keep accidentally back tracking to older regions
This intro is so cute but so sad at the same time. 0:33
Edit: it actually made me cry a bit lol
thanks sm for this 🙏🙏🙏 I always get lost so this is very helpful
Anyone that decided to Play it for yourself, if you find yourself in a flooded tunnel with small pockets of air in roof and lots of bubble foods, do not go straight all the way, you'll find yourself in a dead end
Update: i finished the game, can't describe the ending
When I decided to watch this video about this game, to see what it was about my mind was like (from the begining): oh yeah cute lil' bug and it's adventures.
My mind in the ending: :0000000
I just got devoured by a lizard GHOST which appeared out of nowhere, all karma is gone, not sure whether to hate or love this game haha.
I practically use this video to beat the game I was struggling on mosquitos
bought the downpour thinking it would let me be the characters the minute i bought it
i needed this
I remember watching this months ago when I first started, now I’ve finished all campaigns and I need 1 more achievement to 100% the game.
i'm really happy to see someone struggling like me to kill the ennemies in this game, thank you so much for this video
bro honestly this is such a great way to experience the game. I've got no time in my life to play this game for 20+ hours, but six hours?? easily i can spend watching over the course of a month. it feels like I'm watching a living creature go about this beautifully deadly world. (i also hate seeing the little fella die when i tried to play it)
Also while I’m not very far in I LOVE the music and sound design!!!!
Yep!
Spoilers for those who don't know
My theory: You actually died from drowning at 1:29 and are stuck in a purgatory after that.. it would explain why you see so many bizarre things and why you don't see any of your species because it's only you in this purgatory. You are able to "die" and come back and avoid the dangers you faced in your last life because you can't fully die until you ascend into the afterlife. It's also shown in the intro that the rain wouldn't actually kill you from how hard it falls but in the purgatory it does because water is how you died. You go through all these tests to finally ascend and get to join and rest with your ancestors..
Good theory but that's not true
You can check videos explaining the lore
The dlc of rainworld downpour adds even more to the lore
SPOILRR ALERT: Actually this theory is pretty good but proven FALSE, because in the Downpour,
-You could revisit the place of the intro of your survivor/monk campaign. You can go the place where your family was, the journeys end, and also have an easter egg where you can revisit your *trauma* and go from a specific place to Outskirts. THE INTRO MUSIC also plays during it.
The game with the best Ai in the gaming history so far.
It's true. The AI of this game was actually really advanced and is said to be impossible to compare to.
I'm curious how complex the ai in this game?
@@silent0089 oohh its complex, I mean its COMPLEXXX
20:44 was ][ this close
My friend recommended me this game so I’m gonna watch this play through, he gave the links so wish me luck!! I’m kinda excited to see what this game is like lol
Just a tip but not all creatures are bad even you can make some of them help you😊 some of them will attack you even if you help them but you should be nice with some of them it is rewarding😊 and i dont understand why this game is not more populare the Fauna is so alive and feels real and the creatures and the interaction with them feels impredictible and unexpected and AMAZING Thanks for bring us this Expectacular Game but of course THIS NEED ACTION BABYYYYYY
I wanna see this now but I don’t rly have time so I’m scrolling through a lot of the video and my god does that make the change of environment.. sudden? harsh? my vocab sucks you know what I mean. But it’s like wow, it’s a very beautiful-looking game and I hear the AI is amazing and what is going on in this computer-y looking area I am so intimidated
Wow, that was queit the experience, thanks for playing
What an acid trip that was
this game would have been refunded if it wasn't for you, you're a legend.
lol, I can totally understand why, and glad you stuck with it. Thanks!
the leg is a fucking nightmare
I WANNA PLAY THIS SO BAD
Edit: I have the game and have started playing (April 15, 2023)
(guy commenting on a 5h long video) damn i'd love to play this game if i was sure i wasn't going to start sobbing incontrollably every time the intro plays out 1:59 .
What is that game? How come I've never heard of it? It's beautiful!
Rain World isn't very well known, but it's very well loved by most people that play it. Highly recommend checking it out, especially with the new DLC!
Rain world makes me sad everytime I see that Lil slung cat 😭
i love how the thing just frantically smashes its food into its head
I love the sounds 🙂
funny how hald of farm arrays is just escaping from the giant mosquito
Someone tell me.
Is the lore different for hunter and different for survivor ?
Should I watxh both walkthroughs or what's the difference M
Pretty late reply, but yeah. They all have different lore, although it might not seem like it at first. Even the monk is slightly different, but not as much as hunter. So if you didn't already watch those playthroughs, i recommend you do :)
The whole atmosphere of the game makes it seem like a post apocalyptic world (even though it basically is)
i just started but this helped me get through places I was stuck at.
I am still stuck on the industrial complex, I went to the gate near the green water but it didn’t open, what objective do you need to do to open it?
I realize I accidentally skipped about half of the game by going from Moon to Farm Arrays (I think) to subterranean. This game’s confusing.
no same tho and idk if i should be happy or sad
3:26:54 You spin me right 'round, baby
Right 'round like a record, baby
one of the things thats amazing about this game is that the areas are non linear, i went straight from shoreline to subterranean... how
I got lost early when I was playing and went that way pretty early. I thought I was being clever and escaping some trouble... not so much lol.
dude same when subterranean came later right before the ending i was quite shocked to see it repeating, luckily it didn't do any harm
I don’t know why but I think watching the green thing maul your corpse is so funny
It's a green lizard or lizor :]
is there or can there be a commentary version? i'm also trying to find out if doing the thing in the depths is the only actual ending and i hope it's not.
I might think about it, but there isn't a commentary version at this point. I've played through the game several times and that is the only ending I've seen for the Survivor. Of course, the other slug cats have different endings which are in some way related. Thanks for the suggestion!
amazing the animation pretty smooth
i like how this isnt just gameplay by some random npc, there are some funny moments, fails, anger .... lol
This is one of those games that I desperately want to like but I can’t bring myself to
i never though i would had to see this just to know where to go
So true xDDD
When the green lizard captured slugcat and started throwing it's corpse around
💀💀
3:40:28 the pure chaos made me laugh so much
Rain would my beautiful games ❤❤
It's like oddworld without chanting and talking
Can someone here tell me where I should've gone? I went from industrial complex to chimney canopy (end my life please) but what was to the right? Or left?
That was the way I went my first time and almost made me quit the game! It is possible, but tough! From Industrial Complex, the way this playthrough went was basically down to the left, toward Garbage Wastes, which I think it probably best. If you are a little more daring, the upper path to the left will take you to the Shaded Citadel, which is pretty tough if you don't have a light source, but you can also cheese using the map to find your way without one. 👍
3:02:59 when that music kicks in
Only thing i want is a rain world / rain world downpour funny moments
I like that idea. Thanks!
You completely skipped drainage system. And that's fair. It's no one's favorite region.
True! That region is pretty harsh. I thought about maybe posting another run with all regions to get the wanderer passage. Maybe that and all the echoes.
Okay so totally didn't see five pebbles the correct way... I must of went in backwards some how what the fuck.
