Bustling fungus, for example, which heals you if you're standing still is almost useless on high-mobility survivors like Huntress and Mercenary (check out our full character tier list here) but can be devastatingly powerful in the hands of the Engineer, whose stationary turrets also get the buff. They all have wildly different effects and understanding which to take is key to success.

You need to make constant split-second decisions, knowing which items to be on the lookout for. On normal difficulty and higher settings, staying ahead of the curve is quite difficult. Spend too long turning over every rock on stage two looking for better loot, and by the end of stage five, you'll be totally overwhelmed. You have to fight your way through a variety of stages and defeat a final boss, balancing the gathering of items and XP against the ever-increasing threat posed by the monsters and aliens hunting you down. Both the original and its sequel are action rogue-lites with a unique gimmick, as time passes, the enemies get stronger. This all ties into a few intricacies to how Risk of Rain games work. That being the case, why did Hopoo games permit, let alone encourage the possibility of becoming totally overpowered in Risk of Rain 2? How can that be good design? As much fun as it is to mow your way through the legions of demons, without challenge, there's very little to keep you interested long-term. As anyone who's played the original Doom with god-mode can attest, omnipotence typically gets boring fast. There's undoubtedly fun to be had as an invincible juggernaut, but it's usually of a fleeting feeling.

I'm interested in reaching that point where you become so ludicrously overpowered that the game ceases to be a challenge and you become a ball of chaos. Personally, I'm talking about difficulty, not intentionally causing game-breaking bugs, or to snapping the disk in half after Ornstein and Smough have smashed you into a puddle for the umpteenth time. Hopoo Games want you to go nuts, leaving nothing but a smoldering ruin where their opus once stood. Risk of Rain 2 (and of course Risk of Rain 1, which has also made its way onto the Switch) is an exception to this rule.

They put huge effort into making sure that the experience is just so, and they take exception to players poking their noses into every corner, or abusing the systems to find ways to bend the game to their will. Generally, developers don't want people to 'break' their games.
