2D of anime-ish character is not just a novelty, it's an important and quite innovative combat mechanic.

Risk of Rain is back, baby!

Fast paced yet tactical gun porn. Give it a try even if you're not into roguelite or topdown shooters.

Pros:
-Combat
-Variety of guns
-Music
-Second half of the game
Cons:
-First half of the game
-Still plenty of bugs (v1.04 as for moment of writing this review)
-lack of deathmatch multiplayer
-only 4 players in coop

Conclusion: Pales in comparison with Encounters and SS2. A bit better than BFE.

Aside from homages and references to all oldschool shooters, we have a astonishing reproduction of wolf 3d formula with rpg mix.
Weapon feeling is excellent. Ost brings variety and plays its part on creating atmosphere perfectly.
Yet the strongest part is mosters design. Some of tougher enemies has multiphase forms. Watching Abominations collapsing in halfs won't get me tired ever.

For the first time ever I was really enjoying a remake. It's same in spirit but also contains some puzzle elements from HL2 which is great addition and perfectly fits.
Most changed part is Xen, it is less repeatative now. Some chapters plays completely different. Upgraded visuals work better especially for Xen.
Some of bossfights are upgraded and would raise your adrenaline level, at least on hard.

I fell in love in new OST. Joel Nielsen -- Ascension is a masterpiece.

Strongly recommended for anyone who loves HL series or oldschool~iesh fps in general.

Ровно то, чего ждешь от "нового ретро". Простой в идее, динамичный шутер. 7 эпизодов различного настроения и темпа игры. Чуть проще Dusk, если уж сравнивать с этой игрой. Стоит каждого потраченного рубля.

Отличное "погружение" во всех смыслах.

Уйма времени еще вне стима.
Лучшая игра в тематике заговоров и киберпанка.
Просто лучшая игра.

Запрет модов хуже червя-пидора.
