Risk of Rain 2 Early Access Review

Responsive third-person shooting, fun four-player co-op, and the promise of attaining roguelike godhood with distinctly flavorful items make it dangerously easy to play “just one more game” of Risk of Rain 2. There’s a lot to do even now in early access, like chase down game-changing unlocks and Easter eggs across the continuity of multiple runs, even if there are a few rough edges like online stability. I’m enamored with what’s already here, and am left eagerly awaiting what comes next for one my favorite co-op surprises this year.

Risk of Rain 2’s basic formula is straightforward and instantly gratifying: you and a team of up to three others crash onto the surface of a planet’s pleasantly stylized environment and fight your way through an unending onslaught of ever-more-challenging enemies to earn loot. Some of the rarest items, like the Brilliant Behemoth that adds an explosion to every attack, provide transformative effects that can take a build from great to straight-up-busted, in the most satisfying way. And, since there’s no limit on how many of a given item you can collect, the absurdity of what you’re able to luck into is both ridiculous and supremely fun.

This Minor Endgame Moment Is Actually Pretty Major

Warning! Full SPOILERS ahead for Avengers: Endgame!

Avengers: Endgame, the epic culmination of Marvel’s 22-film Infinity Saga, involves a major narrative time-jump for its characters, resurrecting those who fell in Avengers: Infinity War five years later.

The MCU timeline had generally been lined up with the year that an MCU movie came out. So that’s why the Battle of New York is definitively set in 2012, the year Marvel’s The Avengers was released. Of course, Spider-Man: Homecoming infamously mucked things up when it opened in 2017 by saying the Battle of New York happened eight years earlier, which would have set it in 2009 instead of 2012. And just to make things even more confusing, it turned out that Homecoming was actually set in 2016, the same year as Captain America: Civil War meaning the Avengers would have had to take place in 2008. But Endgame clearly reaffirms that the Battle of Manhattan took place in 2012 so Spider-Man: Homecoming messed up.
