Great control scheme, runs like a charm on Linux.

Lots of cool "wait, the devs can do that?" moments. Truly expands upon the first game in the best ways.

Risk of Rain: the Pre-Sequel

It is its own unique game, and the above is high praise since I have around 450 hours in Risk of Rain 2. Good music, love the art style, runs very nicely (out of the box, on Linux).

Game's fantastic. I saw a lot of gameplay before I bought it, and it blew those expectations out of the water.

Edit 2: it seems Sony has listened to the community and Arrowhead :)

Edit: the game is still good and Arrowhead (the developer) is improving it with new content and bugfixes. However, Sony (the publisher) has decided to effectively ban over a hundred COUNTRIES of players and attempt to force the rest to sign up for a Playstation account. Therefore, at this time, I cannot recommend the game.

Potentially most unique survivors-like, well balanced, good performance. Highly recommend

Game's promising. It blends the strengths of several genres together:

- automation alleviates the tedium of survival crafting
- pal AI alleviates the tedium of organizing automation
- player leveling and a tech tree supplement monster-catching progression
- exploration and combat loot supplement tech tree progression
- pal abilities make automation new and unique compared to factory games
- monster-catching, automation, and base-building come together in base-defense
- etc etc

Every pixel is a simulated particle. This actually means that each and every pixel can and will hilariously kill you. Good times
