Post-Downpour? Still a life ruining experience. I would not recommend playing this game to cowards, people who are afraid of jumpscares, or people who are bad at games. However, Rain World is without a doubt one of the games of the century.

The game lives, breathes and exists without your input, and lives, breathes, and exists with your input. It is for all intents and purposes a living painting, or something written in the wall over decades of time passed. There are few bugs, and fewer reasons not to play. Everything around you makes you feel small, and yet you continue to influence the people still living and the world trying to kill you despite it. Every story is beautifully made and woven together with thought, time and care, moreso than I've seen from triple A games made by big-time developers who do nothing but eat and sleep at the office. If the DLC was nothing but a series of text boxes from the whole two NPCs you speak to in game, I would still pay fifteen dollars for it.

Rain World is both hostile and loving. It hates you and it wants you to live. It trips you at every opportunity and it fully shoves you into the shoes of its protagonist. It gives you nothing but a handful of rocks and spears to fight your way to the top and it gives you the means to see an entire generation to its end. I could barely explain RW if I was given twenty four hours, much less so with a text limit. If I looked at RW and pointed out a stray pixel it would give me an ocean of reasons why that damn pixel existed.
The only issue I can concretely say I have is the existence of sans in challenge 70.
