Risk of Rain 2 is an excellent game made by a passionate group that might just be masters of their craft. Loads of secrets to find, the unique playstyle of characters and random places of spawns, teleports, and items make every attempt feel different giving dozens of hours of replay value. Its fun to play by yourself and even more so with a group or with friends. If you liked the first entry you owe it to yourself to buy this sequel. If you have a tight-knit group to play games with or simply love multiplayer games, get it nowthere are plenty of others to play with. Its hard to say whether or not the end product will be better than the previous entry as comparing an alpha build to five years of progress and updates isnt exactly the fairest comparison, but if they continue to do what they are doing, they may just exceed that plateau.
