3. #Downpour #Rainworld DLC B:First campaign so far; Playtime: 46h so far
A beautiful and brutally difficult platformer with no unlockable abilities but deep and obtuse control scheme to either look up or discover organically (or fumble with)
It is not a metroidbrainia nor a metroidvania.
You don't unlock or learn about things that magically make the game easier and I strongly recommend looking up a wiki when you get stuck or once you want to know what even is the wincon area you must find and how to reach it.
It won't hold your hand as it lets you fall in deathpits or die to the many predators out to get you and the few load screen advice that give movement tips don't cover everything.
I would hate it solo but enjoy it as a tense nailbiter 2p coop (on EASIEST difficulty because losing a day to a voidout when the other player makes it sucks balls)
Whoever died can root for the other. Also great with mods (imho the 2 must haves is Press to Meow and the nontrivial and not full recovery CPR-allowing Revivify)
Running away and avoiding combat is the better way to get where you want, but advanced/fast movement and avoiding death is nontrivial in fun ways.
Imho this is not a game to power through. Take breaks when shit sucks.
