An extremely satisfying roguelike that has great variety which easily insists on multiple playthroughs, Risk of Rain is a blast to play, especially with friends. It takes some time to understand the mechanics, and unlocking characters can be a bit of a chore, but damn is it good once you find your favorite explorer! Even more when you get those ace upgrades that help you lay waste on the otherworldly beasts.

Getting 3 other friends together and optimizing strategy as the worlds and enemies get tougher as you progress is so damn satisfying, and I love the art style. Your characters look so damn tiny, while the bosses are these gigantic, gorgeous sprites with great animation. It's always a sight to behold as you try your best to tear them down! Oh, and the music is tight.
