All I have to do is obliterate (or kill the boss) with captain on monsoon and I have 100%d the game!
I haven't even touched that new game mode that gets harder as you beat it :/

Hows this as a single player game? Ive been interested in trying it, but its always struck me as a game meant to be played in co-op
If you need a friend to play with, PM me. I just bought it today and had tons of fun.

I played... 5-6 hours single-player today (and 2 sessions of multiplayer) and you can certainly play it by yourself and have lots of fun. I might prefer to play by myself because you can get all the items you want (on multiplayer you share chests in the world that give items).
My only criticism would be a lack of tutorial and the hard challenges to get new characters. Maybe I need to lower the difficulty...
I just started playing this on Xbox and am having a blast. I love how they adapted the first into 3D - SO well done!
Question though - I've unlocked two extra characters so far (Huntress and MUL-T) and both seemed to be significantly easier to play than the Commando.
With the Commando the game starts you with, I could get to the 3rd or 4th level on Normal difficulty a couple of times, but usually died around level 2 even when trying to go fast.
But the first time I played as the Huntress, I easily got to level 4-5. And the first time I played as MUL-T, I even got the deja vu achievement to loop all the way back to the beginning.
Is this something commonly agreed upon in the game, that these two characters are far easier to play as than the Commando? Or is there something about the Commando I'm missing? Or something else entirely?

There's a lot of variance to the game and a lot of it can come down to luck of the draw on items on higher difficulties. I wouldn't say MUL-T is easier or harder than Commando, but Huntress is easier to play on the surface since she has auto-aim.
With both the Huntress and MUL-T I just absolutely chew through bosses. That's without getting any upgrades specifically geared around damage. But with the Commando I might have a lot of offensive upgrades and even if bosses are relatively easy, they still take a good amount of time to defeat.
And that's across many Commando rounds - some of which I get to the boss really quickly when difficulty is still low, others when the difficulty got pretty high.

Huntress is my favorite due to the auto-aim and mobility. In a game like this where shit can get craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy that auto-aim makes it so I can focus far more on mobility which can be a life savor.
I tried out the Captain and found him to be a slow and weak mess so I dropped him quickly.

Hey, I'm in the credits of this! :>
Been playing this since EA launch last March and honestly my only complaint about this update is the lack of filled in lore for every single log, but I otherwise still really love this game, and being a part of the community. Huntress main for life.

Played a few rounds of this yesterday, did not make it pas the third teleporter on my best attempt, couldn't find mobs in the third world until 2/3 minutes in .. which screwed my run cause I suddently got swarmed and my damage couldn't keep up with the difficulty increase that occured in that time.
Not having enough damage to kill things has been my biggest problem so far.

Same issue with Artificer. They're glass cannons. The bell enemies are especially good at one shotting you
I was on my second loop on a Monsoon run and died due to Stone Golems.
Not one.
Not two.
Not three.
It was like fucking 10 that all spawned and all targeted me at the same time so I as dodged 1 and 2, 3 - 10 hit me and killed me.
I've had success running away and hiding behind cover, but I'm really not sure if that's the best way.
hide behind anything, as long as it breaks direct line of sight you'll be safe
Closest thing is getting the Genesis Loop item which nukes everything around you when you have low HP
Yeaah I think it's that one. I didn't realise what it was until I was on low health a couple times and this blue light came out of no where and just melted everything lol.
It's just line of sight. Hide behind a tree or a rock and chill.
Risk of Rain and its sequel are both very different from Dead Cells. But they're both excellent in their own right.
Dead Cells has a massive component entirely about progression. Gradually unlocking new abilities, better equipment, new areas, and more.
Risk of Rain 2 is much more of a "pure" roguelike in that you start over from scratch each run, with minimal progression from run to run. It's not zero progression - you do unlock new characters and a few other abilities or artifacts you can unlock to apply to subsequent runs, but RoR is significantly less focused on that kind of progression.
The general consensus is to constantly be moving and scout the first minute or so in a level. Don't stop moving, constantly remember where key chests/terminals are. Never stop to fight mobs until they are grouped up and/or you need $.
Also, look for the red particles near an area, this is where the TP is.
This is great advice. In open stages you can scout the TP from across the map if look carefully for the particles.
It was down a little ledge from an area that kind of jutted out of the ground on the edge of the map. I couldn't see it from anywhere other than the spot where I could access it so going to high ground in other parts of the map and looking around didn't help, and I didn't notice that path the first time.
Still, it was a decent learning experience. You do have to keep your eyes open. Thanks for the tip about the red particles.
Thank you I might pick up on Steam before the promo sale ends.
I just got into the game and played 3 hours and really enjoy it. Is there any mods that improve the hit feedback when shooting. I may be jumping the gun as I haven't tried any other characters besides the main character but when using his weapon it feels like you're hitting enemies with rain drops.
Hum, from a quick search I couldn't find anything on RoR2ModManager or by searching Google that would give better feedback or more visual flair to the hits. Yeah, the Commando is a really good and solid character but he is not one of my favorites to play as. He's fine if a bit boring. For hit feedback the Huntress' second "R" ability feels great to use and Artificier is a ton of fun if a bit out there and requiring good cooldown management. But overall, I know you said shooting but Acrid/Loader, despite being (mostly) melee, have some really satisfying abilities to use.
I couldn't find an OT for this, is there not one? I've got the PS4 version coming tomorrow and I like what footage I've seen of this. I didn't realize consoles didn't have 1.0 yet, is there any reason to wait to start playing until that hits? Any sort of unlockable progress that will get reset, or major changes to get used to or anything?
I played about 2 hours so far and it's been fun. Learned there's a sprint key while reading this thread...
On PC progress hasn't been reset. The 1.0 update does introduce a final stage and boss, but you really don't lose anything from playing now. I had 150 hours before 1.0 dropped and its really just some tweaks here and there (plus one new character)
Great, thanks for the response!
Is there really no OT for this game anywhere? It seems to be fairly popular and I'm not finding anything.
Really? It was part of a sale last month, and I play almost everyday since I bought it. Only played online once, though.
You can even hide behind the arches of the tele if you're in an open field, it's a bit finicky but it's a great last resort.
Auto aim two escapes and ability to shoot while sprinting. I don't think the auto aim is really a big factor, and if anything it makes it a bit harder for her to kill bosses than some characters because her basic attack is always targeting the wrong thing, but it's her mobility that makes her easy to play.
If you just keep sprinting, then most enemies can't hit you. Unless they're using some kind of hitscan, then they always miss, so that becomes a huge benefit for huntress. You don't even really need to learn all of the enemy attack patterns and such with her, since if you keep sprinting you'll evade most attacks anyway.
I think Mul-T is actually harder to learn than commando since he's so slow. He tends to get hit by everything so he's punished more on small mistakes.
Just bought RoR2 on PS4 and it's a blast! (Loved the original too.)
For some reason I was initially skeptical about "RoR...but 3D". It's amazing how well they've pulled it off.
Also had forgotten about those awesome item/monster lore entries. Can't get enough of 'em.
Looking forward to the update hitting consoles!

Absolutely fine. No doubt you'd get some slowdown after playing for 120mins with a screen full of bosses, but same story on PC.
Not yet. Due on consoles some time this year. Plenty of content/replayability in the meantime though!
Played this with a buddy on Series X. Ran great and was a good time! Highly recommend it. Seems more balanced than the first, but I think the first was a tighter and better experience. Also the final level was not great.
As an aside, very very small complaint: after beating it - no achievement? Very strange to not have achievements for beating the game. Just little incentives to challenge the higher difficulty.
