Launched with a bug that prevents you from progressing. I personally played 8 missions and only received credit for 1. Fun game but until it has a substantial degree more polish, more than just this bug being fixed, I'm "doing my part" and bringing the rating down to something more representative of the quality on offer.

EDIT: Progression bug was thankfully patched, but to much shugrin i'm just finding more and more reasons to dislike this game. every feature they add brings with it more frustrations and developer oversights. if you aim right and fire a missile in a mech, it will collide with the mech itself and instakill you, the new flying bugs will 1 shot you after you kill them due to their falling corpses having collision and crushing you with physics, patrols regularly spawn that magically know your position and path to you relentlessly even before being alerted.

That and the roleplay in this games community being even more painful than it's peers (DRG)
God forbid you complain about any element of the game, you'll be met with nothing but "we have an automaton spy over here!" or "joel is trying to pit us against each other! don't listen!" just agonizingly cringe fluff blocking any sort of real discussion. retch

Also you have to make a PSN account now lmao

Risk of rain players be like: "hm better bring my umbrella"

The best way i can describe this game is a rat-like.

Like imagine a rat with a custom lil rat sized controller made by scientists or something.
Imagine a rat barely processing whats going on but gradually learning which way to lean to get further.
Imagine the joy a rat would feel whenever hes owning at the game by just slappin his lil grabbers on the keys.

I AM that rat
And i really, really like this game :)

The potential for manipulation of game systems and using every little tool you are given is done better in this game than any other I've ever played. The first hundred hours of game play are a blood sacrifice to cut your teeth and learn to both play competently, and understand how to twist the game to your will. I wouldn't say that's a bad thing as the learning curve is massively rewarding

oh no

Most rewarding and insanely intense games you'll ever play, wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a crewmate to take along however...

A fitting return to greatness, brilliant gunplay and excellent feeling movement. Endgame needs some work but as there is still DLC left to release and likely level cap increases on the way i'll hold off on that judgement for now.

Has it's moments, but sadly all that i see now is back to back gank squad style battles and absurd damage numbers that completely betray any sense of fairness. The level of difficult here is how i feel outsiders see the souls series, unfair, unfun, unbalanced slog. Easy on the eyes though...

Vast as an ocean, deep as a puddle. The combat feels like driving a dune buggy in sand box, cool, but you really can't flex your muscles before its over.

Broken achievements. stay clear, fun game though if it ever gets fixed
