Rain World

released on Mar 28, 2017

Rain World is a survival platformer set in an abandoned industrial environment ravaged by a shattered ecosystem. Bone-crushingly intense rains pound the surface, making life as we know it almost impossible. The creatures in this world hibernate most of the time, but in the few brief dry periods they go out in search of food.

3.5☆ - I watched a playthrough of this game, thought it was neat, and forgot about it. I came back to it 7 years later and actually played it co-op and I don't think I've had more fun learning a new metroidvania since Ori 2. Great art, great music, very unique gameplay, and very interesting lore.

the fact that i bookmarked a twitter thread about getting into Rain World, but i never consulted it after the third time i bounced off the game is all you need to know about it.

looks good though!

Only done one route so far (Survivor) but damn this game is really good

So beautiful, so clever, so technically proficient, so deliciously mean... but occasionally frustrating in ways that had me just wanting to be done with it by ~3/4 of the way in.
A real "I don't think I could beat this without a guide or a buddy"-type game

Genuinely great ecosystem design but after a good amount of hours dying, watching some guides, and then dying again I have decided this simply might not be the game for me and thats ok. (It's definitely a skill issue)

It's raining, it's pouring, humanity is snoring.
