I'm just going to give Rift Wizard 2 it's high rating now. I've only played about an hour and I haven't even beaten a single run of this game yet - but everything that was amazing about Rift Wizard 1 in the depth and combinations of skills is there, with some new methods of progression that add to the replayability and variation between runs.

It maybe loses half a star on the original because what it gains in randomness and replayability, it loses in that pure, theorycrafting brilliance of the original - and that genius scope for theorycrafting is what made RW1 such an astoundingly good game.

Still Early Access, but just such a strong concept.
