I had the original Risk of Rain back in the day.
The game was amazing, I loved the fast paced gameplay where you are forced to move forward else the game became impossibly hard.

Back then, it was super difficult to organise multiplayer matches, everything was done through manually connecting to servers, a turn off for most players. Although you could play it on your own, its better with friends.

RoR2 is the same thing, but improved in every way. Now its a 3D 3'rd person shooter. Multiplayer is done through Match-Making, and it retains that charm the original had.

This is a easy to play, difficult to master, rouge-like 3rd person shooter, where the levels are like giant arenas where mobs spawn, you fight them, collect money, and use that money to unlock perks/items.
The game continuously becomes more difficult as time passes on essentially, the difficulty is tied directly to the game-timer, so you forced to think on your feet. You can grind each level for every possible item, but the longer you take, the harder your next fight will be. Consequently, you can disregard 100%'ing areas, and focus on reaching the end quicker to avoid fighting the seemingly unbeatable enemies.
