unlabelledView post →I'm a bit late playing Risk of Rain Returns (I loved the original to death and played it so many times), but I finally finished my first run. There are def a lot of QoL changes from the first game,it’s the same at its core, but just BETTER and not 10 years old
unlabelledView post →I've been waiting for Risk of Rain Returns and it's finally here, such a cool game. <3 <3 Gotta love the games with Rain in the title.
unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns It goes back to the roots, with the same gameplay as Risk of Rain one, which I prefer over 2. It's a "remake" but more along the lines of a whole new game.
unlabelledView post →I highly recommend Spiritfarer, Risk of Rain or Risk of Rain Returns (a remake of the og game, but the og is still perfectly playable), Citizen Sleeper, Paranormasight, World of Horror, Rabbit & Steel, The Sexy Brutale and the I'm On Observation Duty games!
unlabelledView post →I'mma post this here. First time resin printing a model made my myself, it's the Pilot from Risk of Rain Returns. <-- a fantastic game
unlabelledView post →FINALLY. I finally crashed Risk of Rain Returns thanks to having 500+ fireworks. I've been trying to crash the game since it was released (Nov 2023). Now I really feel like I've beaten the game 🤣

unlabelledView post →My 4 top games released in 2023 1. Risk of Rain Returns (I love this series so much) 2. GanaBlade (shmup) 3. Shinobi Non Grata (ninjas) 4. Lethal Company (online co-op) These are all on Steam with some of them on select consoles.
unlabelledView post →I’ve been playing Risk of Rain Returns, a fantastic reworking of a game I already loved, but the final boss was apparently designed by a 12 year old dungeon master pitching a spiteful hissy fit because the PCs breezed through the devious scenario he’d spent three weeks meticulously planning.
unlabelledView post →Beat Risk of Rain Returns in an online co-op session, but it froze during the ending xD Game wouldn't relaunch, then Steam wouldn't, and then it hung when I told windows to restart :/ *I still got the achievement and related unlocks, though, so all is well.
unlabelledView post →Mashing in Risk of Rain Returns is *significantly* faster than holding the button despite a lot of the game being designed around holding, its so frustrating 😭
unlabelledView post →17. Risk of Rain Returns I didn’t list the sequel mainly because I’m not sure it counts as an indie anymore- but RORR is the culmination of Hopoo Games’ legacy, a polished and loving homage to the college project that took them to such soaring heights. Good game. Good goddamn game. I like Pilot.

unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns: I had plans to stream this game that kinda fell through and I'm so enamored by its third dimensional cousin that I haven't really touched it yet oops...
unlabelledView post →I don't have strong opinions on Risk Of Rain 2 as I haven't played the game, BUT, I have seen gameplay of it and it looks pretty fun, can be very fast paced which I appreciate I have however played Risk Of Rain Returns and I find that game fun... if not pretty stressful with enemies everywhere lol
unlabelledView post →46. Risk of Rain Returns (replay) One of my favorite games, and a great way to spend time while I don't have a PC. that being said, MAN is this game not fun to unlock every item and skill in. IMO if you wanna replay the game, just unlock every character and play every providence trial a second time.
unlabelledView post →Elden ring and Cyberpubk run a steady 30 which has been more than enough to really enjoy it. Almost any indie or 2D game is doing fine more than 60, like Risk of Rain Returns or Balatro

unlabelledView post →Acrid in Risk of Rain 2 is a monster-puppy because he snarls with each attack, he do a big jumpy, and he starts off each game curled up napping. Acrid in Risk of Rain Returns is a cat since he's constantly jump-swatting at enemies and immediately jumping away to safety before jumping in again.
unlabelledView post →(Risk of Rain Returns) Looking back, it’s kinda crazy that one of the first runs I got in the game was a huntress run that picked up three copies of heaven cracker by map 5. Red items feel more common overall in Returns than in Rain 2, but that’s still some crazy luck.
unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns is a good game but it's somehow the only game where I've managed to doze off while playing.
unlabelledView post →first time booting up Risk of Rain Returns on my 3440x1440 monitor and the game is so fuckin tiny at 1x scale lol
unlabelledView post →I remember listening to Coalescence for the first time before ever playing either Risk of Rain game and being like "Holy FUCK, this is so good.", I think that feeling stuck with me until I properly played through Risk of Rain Returns and got to the final level.
unlabelledView post →Finished Risk of Rain Returns with HAN-D. 5 characters down, 11 more to beat the game with. Love this series so much and have been stretching out playing it since it's usually single player (no one wants to play this game with me ;__; )
unlabelledView post →Beat the game as Acrid in Risk of Rain Returns the day after they were scheduled to be delivered in-universe (33 years from now). There are NO coincidences! 😛
unlabelledView post →Am I getting too into Risk of Rain Returns? Maybe. I will be trying to get as much as possible in this game. Acrid deserves a pat but I'm sad I can't give them to him twitch.tv/Goblin4Coin
unlabelledView post →As you might imagine from the previous post, todays game will be Risk of Rain Returns! if anyone i know has it they are welcome to join, otherwise ill just be powering through on my own in about 2 and half hours! #vtuber #envtuber #pngtuber
unlabelledView post →been trying to get some Risk of Rain Returns runs in before bed on the steamdeck and that game is just as brutal as i remember i've taken a liking to enforcer, a character that has no business working as well as he does it's a game i always wished i was ok at so here's hoping it goes like RoR2
unlabelledView post →In that in between space of game hyperfixations, UNBEATABLE deserves a replay but not 4 days after I finished the story, currently it’s a toss up between StS2 or Risk of Rain Returns, but both of those are rogue likes and I’m looking for a more story based game. Maybe I’ll play Keylocker again
unlabelledView post →Plays great on an NS1! Though, I'm more partial to Risk of Rain Returns (the remaster/remake of the first one), but only on PC (RoRR shows VERRRY TINY characters and creatures on a Switch Lite screen; everything is tiny in that game on a Lite, lol)

unlabelledView post →Ayoooo! Haven't really played Risk of Rain Returns, 14 runs altogether with all of them except this one back in 2023 when the game was released. I was always really bad at the original and preferred RoR 2 but I figured I might as well try again today and this happened.
unlabelledView post →Day 211 of 2025 Today I beat a run of Risk of Rain Returns for the first time! It's a fun and addicting game. I really like it. Especially the little challenge levels are super fun.
unlabelledView post →Day 209 of 2025 I bought some games today on the e shop summer sale! Cassette Beasts because I want to replay it. I really like this game. Wargroove 1, I played a bit of the second game before and liked it. Risk of Rain Returns which is pretty fun so far! It's a roguelike.
unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns has been a rough ride. I hear it’s more balanced than RoR2 but it genuinely feels like the game is overtuned in the enemy’s favor.

unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns can't be updated by @hopoogames ever since Take-Two brought the IP and shutdown Gearbox Publishing. Full story: mp1st.com/news/risk-of... #RiskOfRain
unlabelledView post →After playing "Risk of Rain Returns", I have to say that I really prefer the mobility in 3D of "Risk of Rain 2". Shooting with anything than the huntress is really annoying. #riskofrain #riskofrain2 #riskofrainreturns
unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns is fun, but it's highlighting how games are always viewed through the genres of the moment. I find myself thinking of this decade-old game in terms of Vampire Survivors
unlabelledView post →More Risk of Rain Returns! Love this game so much twitch.tv/Goblin4Coin
unlabelledView post →So... Risk of Rain Returns (remake of first game) drops ON my birthday (Nov 8th) so I guess I'll need to be streaming that.

unlabelledView post →when it comes to game remake/remasters, for me what makes a good / needed one is: accessibility (easier to obtain and ingame things) Art Pass (bringing a game in line with the original vision) more stuff one of my favorite game remakes is Risk of Rain Returns, it checks all of those boxes.
unlabelledView post →(Risk of Rain Returns) I think the game is telling me to end the run. Not sure though... Too many piercing glaives (unbelievable), too many on-hit effects (unfathomable), and too many bosses stacked on each other from too many stacked mountain shrine effects (impossible) resulted in uhhh this.
unlabelledView post →3 - Risk of Rain Returns With this one, I now have 100% on every RoR game. The Providence Trials were the most fun I’ve ever had with RoR. Although I have some HUGE nitpicks with some stuff, I think this is a perfect remake. The sprite work here is insane, everything is so stunning. Best RoR imo
unlabelledView post →Next, we played some #RiskOfRainReturns. On the first play, I managed to get myself killed towards the end of the Risk of Rain stage, so he had to face Providence alone. It was the first time for him to get that far, so all things considered (died on the last Providence phase, after removing over 50% of his health) he did pretty good. On the second play we managed to face Providence together and wiped the floor in no time. #videogames #RiskOfRain
unlabelledView post →Risk Of Rain Returns is the game, but it just occurred abruptly while playing Robo-Quest so I’m not sure it’s the game. I did lower the resolution see if that helps but it didn’t.

unlabelledView post →51. Risk of Rain Returns I played a lot of the orignal Risk of Rain but never beat it but after actually completing a run I can say I still really like this game. I come back to this every now and again when I feel like doing another run.
unlabelledView post →I decided to pick up "Risk of Rain Returns" and I gotta say: This game is a lot harder than I expected ^^‘
unlabelledView post →DAY 30: "Coalescence Returns.." from Risk of Rain Returns. I remember the first time I listened to this track in-game. Going back to where it all began felt weird at first, yet somehow always welcoming. Cuz well, that distinctive sound was always there. Still chanting. "Aged" Even 'til the end.

unlabelledView post →Finally played Cult of the Lamb, got the game with all the addons for a while, just before I had a burnout on roguelikes (like : oh, your game looks cool ! Oh it's a rogue ? Meh, pass). Until I played Risk of Rain Returns (loved the original). CotL seems fun, but a little overwhelming.
unlabelledView post →Risk of Rain Returns scratches such an itch in me that has been building up for years. like wow. my favourite indie game but now with more budget
