I have now completely rewritten this review, as my thoughts have developed more, and I want to do this review justice considering its popularity.
This is a 8.5/10, and my third favorite game of all time, BUT: Though people preach a lot, this game's flaws can only be tolerated by the target audience. You are no less impressive if the game isn't for you. I had a friend get the DLC and ditch it after a while because he found it boring.

To enjoy this game you must be fine with these things:

- Dying to things completely outside your control: This can really piss people off, as you can die and have to redo entire sections due to complete jank. It's part of the fun for a lot of people, it does really make you feel helpless, and like you're at the bottom of the foodchain, but some people really won't be able to appreciate it, which is totally fine.

- Repetitive elements: This especially applies to the DLC. Once you've seen all the areas, they don't (usually) change a ton from playthrough to playthrough. Your first run through the game will definitely be your longest by quite the margin.

- Survival Elements: This is not a platformer at its core. Survival elements can make this game quite tedious at times, and if you just want to run run run run all the time, you're going to be disappointed.

Purposefully jank mechanics. Rain World has one of the most janky and weird movement systems on purpose, and that can justifiably be frustrating to people. Even the combat is weird. You're mostly one shot to almost everything, and the combat involves finding spears, finding rocks, and throwing things at your enemies' weakpoints until they die. You don't get your spears back, you have to either find a new one or pull it back out of enemies, this is a type of combat I hadn't really seen before.

Play survivor first, it's the most liberating one to beat, and hunter is a different type of game pretty much.
The difficulty in this game is so unique though that I wouldn't blame you if you went Monk (the easy version).
Doesn't matter if you're one of the best Doom players in the world, this game's difficulty is WEIRD and out of the box. I'm the type of person to 100% games, nohit bosses, install mods to make the game harder, but I was not ready for the pure jank difficulty of this game.

I went on here in previous reviews talking about where I'd place it on my games ranking. After thinking about it for a while, I think it's moreso at around 6th place currently. Anyway, it's absolutely beautiful, the AI is jawdropping, the environments are fantastic, and even though I had no idea what was happening, the ending was rewarding to me (no Outer Wilds, but it was a good ending).



Absolutely fantastic game.


(play Outer Wilds too by the way)

Having invested slighty more than 40 hours in Rain world at the time of this passage, I come to you, the public, at this late hour to deliver a most urgent plea.

I was once of a mind to decry the game for its unceasing brutality and unforgiving, unrelenting, unfair cycle of desperate survival and unforseeable death. Though I recognized its unique beauty and loved its dynamic, fluid, and yet cohesive mechanics, I was repulsed by its difficulty. I am in regret for this.

While I can't place blame on those who persist in disliking Rain World's foundational difficulty (I empathize with them, in fact: my first 20 hours were hell), I can offer a nugget of advice for those who would consider providing the game another opportunity: have patience, and learn of the world and your capability in it before establishing a "lifestyle" as the Slugcat.

My principle mistake when initially playing Rain World was permitting my expectations to override my actions. I occupied nearly 20 hours with practically no progress and an abundance of futility, and all because I was awaiting some firm directive which never came. In my frustration with this interminable cycle, I began to condemn certain aspects of the game, most notably the karma system. In time I became so desperate for some means of enjoying the game that I sought out a mod which rendered this scapegoat, the karma system, inconsequential. The result was... hollow. With nothing to penalize me, I was no longer obliged to inject purpose into my actions, and the game's value evaporated.

This was a moment of revelation for me. I realized that, in order to enjoy Rain World, I needed to seek its rewards and venture into its world and mysteries rather than flit axiously from one hibernation chamber to the next in perpetual fear of the consequences of curiosity. I needed to accept that this alien wilderness was harsh in excess, and that to survive it I must accomodate it and, at length, begin to predict it. I had been humbled to a slugcat and flung, directionless, into a world eager to swallow me. My sole guides were my intuition and ambition to explore, and my immersion in Rain World was contingent upon my willingness to exercise both. So I did.

My advice as a "veteran" is this: do not allow your fear of penalty to succeed your will to explore. Learn to live, not just survive, and perhaps you, too, will leave your heart in the hostile yet beautiful lands of Rain World.

Rain or Pain?

Before making conclusion please read to the end. Within the entire playthrough and even after completing the game I've been hesitating on which review shall I write. For me that game was both - awesome and terrible. But once I forced myself to give it an answer - why, why do I want to write a negative review? Why do I partly consider this game as "terrible"? And you know what? There was only one reason - the PAIN. Yes, if I was developer I would've given it a beatiful "Pain World" name. With that being said, no matter how many people complain - this game is HARD, and here's why:

-there are no lives. Any mistake leads you to death. You need to practice a lot to become good enough to avoid being eaten by other predators
-every time you die, you lose karma. More karma you lose - more karma you have to gain again to pass through another location
-you have no idea of where locations are placed. The map is DRASTICALLY huge. There are so many places to visit and so many things to behold. However, there is an assistant who helps you get out by showing the way. But guess what? On my first playthrough I lost him and didn't even realize why
-The game is hard even from its early stage of survival, but the thing is, the more you play - the harder it gets. You suffer by trying to find new place but once you reach it it only gets harder. There are new predators and the old ones can be met even in a higher quantity than before
-The shelters are not that easy to find unless you know the map. You can progress pretty good but at the end die by rain which is also a pain because you'll be losing karma and then... you'll have to restart it from the previous shelter without guarantee that you'll make it good this time again.

So the only thing i hated this game for was its hardcore. Also, I've started playing as a Survivor, not as a Monk. After completing the game I've heard that even Monk is not easy to play as so if you still think that you can easily manage this game on Survival Mode without having experience I'd recommend you to think properly. If you want to make it hard - start on Survivor. If you want to make it easier (but still i'm not sure if it's easy) - start as a Monk.

Still, i'm not saying that being a hard game is disadvantage but i had to mention my pain. Now, about good sides of this game. As for me, these have to be mentioned:

-amazing soundtrack. Can't say much about it - it's just something awesome and as everything else it perfect for this style of game
-the unique and awesome art style. I can never say this game is "cheap-looking"
-the idea. I cannot say much about the story because it's more about idea. The world is awesome - the creatures are terrifying, the plot is unpredictable and special. It all makes game look unique, and it definitely is
-mechanics. Those are also unique in this game. They look simple, but trust me, there are way more moves which can be performed if you learn them. You can watch "Rain World advanced movements" videos, which might help you a lot. Sounds weird but the movements and environment in this game sometimes seemed more realistic than the real life, but of course it's just an expression and is described with details below
-the smartest entities I've ever seen in my life. And I'm not only mentioning virtual ones. They're actually smarter than some of my friends. The predators act completely like real - some hide and attack when you come closer; some follow you until you get out of vision, and then, find the best spot to track prey, or slowly keep following you by moving closer to shelter or pipe. Actually, you're not the only prey in this game. They are all fighting each other, and their movements... It all looks so cool, so real... I've never seen anything like it.
-The game can be replayed many times. There are things and "mobs" you can unlock, so you can play on arena (like sandbox), and there are some choices which you can accept during the playthrough. There are also different strategies which can be tried. I mean, you can build your own route, so you know where to go on earliest and latest stages of your run.

-------------‐-‐-------------------------------------------


One thing which I wanted to mention - if you have problems with orientation in space or really don't know what to do and where to go - you can google "full Rain World map". Choose the map which shows which locations are connected to which. Don't spoil what they include but still, you're not forced to make it too hardcore if you don't want it to be. Getting lost for many hours without making any progress while moving to the wrong direction may ruin your game experience. But again, it's mostly recommendation for people like me who struggle with map orientation.

Actually, i'm pretty sure no one would ever read what i typed, but if someone does - accept my faithful Thank You!

(Added this as a gratitude) -Thanks for all of awards. I appreciate it!-

I like the part with the cat thats a little slimy. A little goober if you will.

Absolutely phenomenal. I started the game, died a lot, got frustrated and wasn't sure when I'd enjoy it. I wanted the full experience but I was also struggling. I beat the first 'chapter' of the game but wanted to restart after having an awful time and resorted to cheating with the dev console to skip some levels.

Forum users helped me with encouragement, and also admitted that they themselves used mods and some of the accessibility settings in the remix option to ease into it.

I also learned more about the movement of the game; it's all a learning experience and while I won't spoil anything here I will say that you can outmaneuver a lot of predators with speed, agility or both.

Finally, I beat the game without strictly cheating (maybe some would account accessibility options as cheating, but I still beat the game using regular tools at my disposal)

Here's some settings / mods I'd suggest:

- Play as survivor instead of monk (Food might seem tough at first but don't worry, the experience IS better as survivor)
- Monk style gates (Once you enter an area, its unlocked permanently)
- DO NOT USE 'Disable karma requirements' (High karma gates are used to say 'this is a hard area'. I turned this off in my initial playthrough and it meant I went into a really hard area by accident and gave me a horrible experience).
- Loading screen tips (There's some VITAL information I never figured out, wish I turned this on sooner)
- Maximum rain timer (Normally its RNG how much time you get, but I just used this so that I always have forever before the rain. Turn off as you get better)
- Slug senses (ability to see a visual 'threat' meter so you know enemies are nearby)
- Breath time leniency (Makes it so that you don't die as quickly when out of oxygen under water)
- Sharpener mod (allows you to resize window)
- SBCameraScroll (Combines appropriate rooms into long rooms where the camera follows you, great to avoid BS deaths where something is pixels away from you but offscreen so you had no idea. Also helps you know which ways you can go)
- Infinite Spears (This is kind of cheating, but spears are very important. I turned this on at first so that I could get used to using spears in and out of combat as I was very bad with my throws and end up losing them. You can then turn down the number of spears so instead of having infinite spears on your back you just have more than one. Eventually turn this mod off when comfortable with using the spears around you)
- Some people like the health bar mod but I never used it

Good luck and let me tell you, it's worth it.

refunded.

yes, this is a positive review.
this game... is a work of art. there's absolutely breathtaking visuals to be found here, and it provides some of the best environmental design and storytelling I've ever seen. It's also just a treasure trove of creativity.

I refunded because it quickly became clear this is an extremely hardcore experience, on a genre (platformers) I frankly don't super enjoy. Just because -I- don't like it, doesn't mean I can't recognize how good of a game this is, and it doesn't really have much in terms of faults beyond personal taste or preferences on my end. this is, put simply, a great game that I don't like playing.

If you like difficult and punishing platformers, however, this game is a must. It's crazy how good it is.
