Looking back, marketing for this game is abysmal. I get that you want to get in touch with your community, but as far as I am concerned, this game deserved far better marketing than what we got so it could have touched people outside of its demographic circle and I'm gonna try to do that for my friends that still have not played it. Rain World is a 2D survival platformer where you're playing as the lowest of the food chain trying to survive a wildlife that has outlasted its cycle of life while making sense of a long lost world in ruin and your life in it. It will not be easy. You won't fully understand what you're doing at first. You will get lost and die a lot by the most spine-chilling and cortisol-inducing creatures you have ever seen. You WILL find it unfair. And that's because it is, your odds at succeeding are really small. It's not a conventional game by any means, a lot of its story themes and game mechanics might seem cryptic at first, the control scheme is weird (but you get used to it after some time) and ennemies are moving in a kind of erratic and unpredictable way. I really like all of this to be honest, might be one of the only games out there that literally says "♥♥♥♥ it we ball" by design. And yet, all of that is contrasted by the most beautifully crafted and heartbreakingly rich fictionnal universe in sync with the fantastic gems and colossal amounts of soundtracks, absolutely massive interconnected map, insane procedural animations, deep movement mechanics and item interaction systems, and pixel art visuals a game could ever have. Rain World is simply put, my favorite game of all time. At its core, it is disguised as a live action roleplaying nature documentary with lots of advanced tech for experienced players... But you will get better and get through it and when you start to peel its layers, you will realise that deep down, it is in fact about surviving loss, enduring hardships and friendships, what you can (or cannot) make of it and the beauty of it all. I have basically done everything and anything this game, its DLCs (and its modding community) could ever offer and I still come back to it from time to time to immerse myself in its mysterious and beautiful world. One thing I also get from other people is that: it is not a game for everyone, the journey from start to finish is exhiliratingly painful and even if you're the most tolerant gamer to ever exist, this game will make you ragequit more than once. But if you decide to stick with it just a bit longer, as you play, you might start to uncover its well hidden secrets waiting behind this thin veil for you to open. And once this happens, you will realise that it is an absolute one-of-a-kind gem of a masterpiece that everyone should at least experience once.
This game is a damn masterpiece. Don't you think that usually in video games, when an enemy is chasing you, the dev decides to make it so that the enemy is constantly stopping/slowing down mid chase to avoid frustrating the player? Well, Rain world says "♥♥♥♥ that, and ♥♥♥♥ you" to the players. Every enemy has its own extremely complex AI. They all have their unique behavior and personalities. All of them have the exact same goal as you: find food and survive. While your food is mostly bats and fruits, their food is you. So your job is to find food for yourself while avoiding becoming food to larger enemies. Sound simple enough, but you quickly realize how intelligent the AIs are. Smarter enemies can adapt to your action and find different ways to try eat you. Enemies can fight each other to fight for food, and they can attempt to eat another smaller creatures that isn't you. There is no scripted encounters in this game. Everything is purely the cause of the AIs interacting with each other. This has its downside of course, as it can create unfair scenarios and trap the players in insane situation, but that is the beauty of this game. The world is alive, and you are not the main character. You're just another creature in the world with an established food chain trying to survive. Other creatures can kill and be killed by you, their environment or other creatures. Big predators can be eaten by an even bigger predators, and you're just a tiny slugcat trying to survive in the midst of everything. This game is truly the most "alive" game I've ever played. Absolutely recommend.
trying to write something serious and actually meaningful without sounding corny is much harder than i thought but here we go I got rain world on the same day that i truely gave up on life, the timing of this was like a prophecy come true, I couldn’t have asked for a better coincidence. I never realised it, but the game was an exact representation of what i was going though. Trying and trying again, against all odds. Even though there were complaints, the struggle was the entire point. Recovering from such a deep part of your life portrayed as an innocent creature in a world full of hazard and endless worry. But the extreme journey is well above worth it. Even though I had to take a complete reroute of the entire game because I didn't understand how to get to the end, the ending sequence is something I’ll never forget. How rewarding it feels, it wants to make me cry. I’m not saying that Rain World saved my life, but it sure made it feel like a story. And the last theme: “Deep Light” means so much to me. I can’t listen to it without feeling sorry for myself on how i felt in those depressing months, and thanking that I’ve recovered. I never knew a video game could mean so much to me!! I’m so thankful that I got to experience this game in such a sad yet perfect time in my life. Thank you ever so much Rain World :)
