An absolute marvel of an indie game.



All of the pain and struggle that one goes through results in growth in game through learning paths and mechanics better with every death. Through every area you clear, you grow a sense of confidence that the game quickly humbles, but the spirit of determination is never truly sullied.
At points this game will get so stagnant and impossibly hard that it just may break you and lead to uninstalling it…

But the absolute catharsis of reaching the end of the game where you find it was all worth it is enough to bring one to tears.

Not only is the gameplay incredibly engaging and open ended, the story and regions are even richer, filled with mystery and uncertainty. The game around you truly makes you feel like you’re immersed inside a cruel and unforgiving world, not that you’re the center that everyone focuses on. There’s always a bigger fish than you, and sometimes those bigger fish will take out threats in a stroke of luck and fortune.

Rain World is an amazing experience that’s worth all of the frustration to see it through to the end that rewards the player for adapting through every death and lets you slowly unravel the mystery of where exactly you are.
