Looking back, this right here is the game that snowballed my interest in the roguelike and roguelite genres. I probably first gave Risk of Rain a shot way back in late 2015 after seeing it for a dollar on the Winter Steam Sale if memory holds, and I've had a psychotic love/hate relationship with this game ever since. I distinctly remember playing it for a short stint, realized the Steam achievements were busted, and promptly stopped playing after failing to even finish Stage 3. (How embarrassing on two counts for myself!)
Ever since, I've never quite been able to shake this little game from my mind, coming back to it year after year. Despite bouts of not enjoying it at all, being completely unable to play without Command on (How embarrassing... again!) and completely failing to have any fun with the process at all, over time I began to understand the simple joys of Risk of Rain, warts and all.
