Risk of Rain 2 is fun solo but improved playing with a friend. You arrive in a space pod and slowly meander around the map in search of power-ups and the Teleport platform to the next map (game level). As you gather items, you might get faster and the items you collect hang on your form until you look somewhat overburdened until you are zooming around the map, dodging projectiles thrown at you by the ever intensifying collection of alien monsters who have only one goal… kill you!
There are different characters to play that you can unlock in game as a result of completing various specified tasks. Personally I have spent way too long playing the Engineer, who gets two turrets to deploy. Every update you get, the next time you put a turret down, it has the upgrade applied until you have a pair of stationary rail-guns at your disposal.
The aim is to survive as long as possible or to get to round five and go through the Primordial portal and survive the moon round. The game gets harder as time goes by to the point that you are just running for your life and hoping to avoid the incoming bombardment and yet it is surprisingly different every time you play it. I have played over 200 hours on this and I am not tired of it yet.
With more than one player it can become something of a ‘bun fight’ for the power ups but you need to try and distribute the items to the right characters; you need everyone doing their part in order to survive.
Good luck out there!
