#1. Risk of Rain 2

Released: 28 March 2019 (Early Access), 2020 (Full Game Launch)

Available On: PC

Risk of Rain 2 is not much of a sequel to the original game Risk of Rain as it is a 3D remake. The game is still very new and undergoing testing. Players can have early access to the game via Steam. A full launch is planned for 2020.

The original Risk of Rain was also released for the PS4, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch. Players need to progress by defeating a vast alien army in an incredibly difficult setting. Risk of Rain 2 has a bigger world than most Roguelike games and it is a lot longer to clear levels compared to other Roguelike games.

Not only that, if you stay in a level for too long the difficulty of the enemies gets harder and harder every 5 minutes. Players need to activate a teleporter which is done by clearing enough enemies and bosses to go to the next level.

The game allows up to 4 players to play so we could see a multiplayer launch on other consoles once a full release is decided.
