have i mentioned how buggy and broken this game is btw? i hope ive hammered that in. the only thing this ♥♥♥♥ has going for it is good buildcrafting but even then its super flawed since theres teammate griefing skills and a bunch of outright useless perk decks. the worst part? it wasnt like this 7 years ago, even 2 years ago it wasnt this bad. please spend your money on something else

atrocious launch aside, the more i play this dlc the more disappointed i become. it really doesn't seem like gearbox understands risk of rain at all, as most of the new items are terrible and out of place and the new final boss just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks man. he feels like he was balanced around drizzle + command only, like seriously who thought putting a 5 second laser on a final boss with a tiny arena was a good idea? the secret character is the only one of the three new characters thats fun but he lacks polish. seeker feels out of place and they absolutely butchered chef by making him play like artificer.

the only good things here are the new alt skins (you gotta fight that terrible ass new final boss for them though :steamhappy: ) and the new stages (why do we have 5 stage ones now though). guess its time to wait for mods to hopefully fix this mess.

as someone who put a ton of time into ror2 i always found the first game to be interesting gameplay wise but completely mired by how janky it is. i've wanted a remake of it for years and we finally got one.

it's exactly what i wanted: risk of rain 1 but functional, has simple multiplayer instead of the Dark Arts (port forwarding) and with some other touch ups. the gameplay changes here are great and i think it's the first game fully realized. my main complaint right now would probably be the providence trials, not the hugest fan of them and i feel like a lot of them are very enemy spammy. also dear ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god the elite spam on higher difficulties is soooo annoying, they can easily take you out in 2 hits compared to the second game. amazing remake so far otherwise.

peakzia tower im thinkin

i have not played a game with this much soul in it in quite a little bit. this was one of those games i remember hearing about for years but didn't catch my eye until around the time the store page went up. i love the wacky over the top artstyle and character designs in this game so much. the controllers are (for the most part) very tight and the platforming is a lot of fun. the gimmicks in the levels all feel fresh and different from each other and make the levels themselves stand out a lot. the soundtrack is bangin and overall its just a great time.

2024 edit: replayed the game because of noise update and i can confirm its even more peak now. stupid ass game bro (good thing)

this game is so cool i wish gay people were real


serious review: this game is really good. idk about the gameplay, im not the hugest fan of it but its serviceable. everything else about this game makes up for it though. the worldbuilding, atmosphere, narrative, visuals, everything else really, its all done amazingly, crazy to think that it was just 2 people that made this.

if you want a mind♥♥♥♥ (in the good way) then i'd highly recommend this, really do be making me sit down and think about what the hell is going on.

this is easily one of my favorite games of all time, which is crazy for a game that's not even finished yet (as of the time of this being written). i could gush about how much i love it for like hours easily. ill keep it simple and list the 2 big reasons as to why i love it so much though:

1. its a fun ass game man idk. the healing system promotes actually being in the fight, the arsenal is insane and probably the most creative one i've seen in any game, it's got the only bosses i actually like in an FPS, it just feels really fluid. kinda hard to describe in full it's just a game you have to experience yourself to truly know what i mean.

2. the presentation of it all. this game is exactly what i want video games to be in this regard. it's an incredibly creative and cool game that isn't afraid to get wacky and experimental with it. this game nails the tense moments and buildups and also knows when it can be funny and goofy without detracting from the message. it constantly subverts your expectations and it feels like it's impossible to know whats next beyond the fact that i KNOW it's going to be something mindblowing. very few games can get me to think that way. i want video games to be like ULTRAKILL in their presentation, i want games to be creative and wild. this is the result of letting devs cook without some dumb corporate meddling and suits who don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ a bideo jame is standing in the way. hell the devs spent a year remaking the earlier parts of the game which sounds insane since its still not finished and the end result was 1000% worth it.

if you're someone who likes fast paced games and hasn't played this please sit your ass down and give it a go i promise you it's 110% worth it (and dont be discouraged by it being in early access!!! once again the level of polish in this game absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥ on AAA games). crazy that some finnish ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and his team of equally weird little gremlins (i mean that in a good way!) have cooked up and are still cooking up what will probably shape up to be one of the most beloved and inspirational games of the 2020s. please keep cooking hakita and the rest of the team 🙏

i love gup

blankey mode

hotline miami 2 is full of "game design is my passion" moments.
the levels are as huge as a damn planet and are often very long, enemies like to shoot you from offscreen which results in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deaths, the zoom feature sucks and you're forced to blindfire often, and the ai is incredibly broken. hard mode is where these poor design choices really shine, as you have roughly half ammo and no lock on, plus more enemies to deal with.

the soldier levels are unfun and dont fit very well with the rest of the game gameplay wise, seizure was completely unfair as you could not see a damn thing, and release has those buggy charger enemies that like to clip through short walls to kill you.

that being said, the soundtrack goes hard, i personally like it more than the first games OST. the story is also good if you can piece it together, though i dont like the ending too much honestly. hard mode might be absolutely miserable to play through i love the visual edits to it, the nuked skyline/jungle you see when you start a level is a very cool detail, along with the blue void and filter

an amazing platformer. the controls are very responsive and it's only occasionally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

games either way less evil than super meat boy or way more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ evil

soundtrack is very good as well, i think it prevented me from raging at this game many times
