TB’s Risk of Rain video is also the first place I’ve seen him spell out his objections to Spelunky. It’s a simple perception that I can’t object to, but I do find it incomprehensible – that Spelunky, where you (for a long time) spend two minutes per level and die and learn immediately upon messing up, is wasting the player’s time while Risk of Rain, where you spend about five minutes per level and can screw up your build long before being slowly whittled down, is the epitome of the roguelite.

Unlocking characters is definitely too hard, especially since its one of the main draws of the game.

I suggested you play this in one of your videos and you did more than that :]

Pretty fair assessment of Risk of Rain. I saw TotalBiscuit play this and him basically jerk off about it but then when I played it, I didn’t like it to that degree. I got my value for what it’s worth but I find it odd that there’s only one character to start. I get what they’re doing with the long curve to unlock things but I don’t have the patience to do so for this game.

[…] Here’s what Risk of Rain is like. It’s a randomised shooter thingy, and here I’m playing as one of the classes you unlock later on, the Engineer. More thoughts on why it’s good. […]
