It was Double D who said, “Summer rains, you can never predict ’em.” The randomness of Risk of Rain 2 is its secret sauce that has kept me returning round after round. No matter how well I memorize map layouts or enemy attack patterns, I’m never fully aware or prepared for what’s in store.

The SNES Classic Edition released Yesterday. No doubt, thousands of people lined up outside retailers overnight for a chance to relive 80s-90s video game nostalgia.
