Almost everyone has dreamt of becoming so powerful and strong that every opponent dies at the push of a button. In a third-person shooter on Steam, this is possible and it is on sale until December 4, 2025.
What kind of game is this? Risk of Rain 2 is a third-person shooter and roguelite on Steam. You choose one of many unlockable characters and must pave your way through various worlds. Currently, the game is discounted on Steam until December 4, 2025, and costs 8.24 euros.
Each character has different abilities as well as a weapon to deal with the monsters that appear in droves and want to kill you. In the worlds, there is a portal where a boss is summoned. After a fight, you can enter the next world.
Items can make you really powerful here
What is the special feature of the game that makes you absurdly strong? In Risk of Rain 2, you will find various items during your run. These items can be simple bonuses, such as faster attack speed or a higher chance to deal critical damage with attacks.
In addition, there are other items that can make your character strong. With a ghost in a bottle, your enemies explode or a Tesla coil creates an electrifying circle around you to deal additional damage. In total, there are 184 items in Risk of Rain 2, divided into seven categories, each with different strengths and some weaknesses.
Furthermore, you can collect items as often as you want, which upgrades them. Due to the levels of the monsters and the numerous items, later in the run, you will become so strong that you only need to lift a finger and most enemies around you will die.
Becoming absurdly strong is not all that Risk of Rain 2 offers
What else does Risk of Rain 2 offer? In addition to the fun of becoming absurdly strong with countless items and trying out different builds, there is more content in the game.
In certain worlds, various puzzles can be solved. So you don’t just have to survive as long as possible and slay thousands of enemies, but also think a little and find a way to secret places.
At these secret places, new items, characters, or artifacts are unlocked that change the basic rules and provide even more content. There is also a final boss in Risk of Rain 2 that must be found through a puzzle and can eventually be defeated in an epic multi-phase battle.
For a player, Risk of Rain 2 is the best title in the genre
How is Risk of Rain 2 rated? On Steam, the third-person shooter has over 330,000 ratings, of which 93% are positive.
The Steam user Shadow_Wolf writes after almost 190 hours that he has been playing Risk of Rain 2 for years and loves how more and more new content is released.
Also, Quadratic Entity has kind words about the game. He says it is his absolute favorite game of the genre. He further mentions the reasonable price for the amount of content and that the DLCs are also worthwhile.
Are there any negative voices regarding Risk of Rain 2? Yes, but these are very limited and most negative reviews were given when the DLC Survivors of the Storm was released. According to the reviews, the expansion introduced some bugs that also affected the old content.
The recent reviews (as of November 28, 2025) are, however, 95% positive. The user Amnesia criticizes on Steam the slow start of a run, as items must first be looted from crates in the somewhat spacious worlds. At the beginning, you are quite slow, which only improves with time.
While you slowly become god-like beings in Risk of Rain 2, you can really play God in a relatively new game on Steam. Also, MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus had a lot of fun with Fata Deum: A new building game on Steam makes me a god and gives me what no game has managed to do in 20 years
