Games like Risk of Rain 2

4.1average player rating•5 games

Risk of Rain 2 is about the curve: twenty quiet minutes, then items stack into each other and you stop being a person and start being a weather event. These keep that shape — power that compounds until the screen can barely hold it, ideally with friends watching it happen.

The picks

Ranked by player rating, Metacritic breaks ties.

1
Returnal
ActionShooter
The prestige take on the loop: parasites and malfunctions as the cost of power, wrapped in a story about repetition itself.
4.2/5Player ratingMC86View game
2
Remnant II
ActionAdventureRPG
Co-op shooting with soulslike weight and worlds that regenerate differently each time — progression you feel between runs, not just inside them.

3
Deep Rock Galactic
ActionIndie
Not a roguelike, but it nails the other half — four players, escalating swarms, and the run home being the hard part.
4.1/5Player ratingMC84View game
4
Roboquest
ActionIndie
Faster and cleaner, built for speed rather than sprawl. The same build-crafting rush in half the runtime.
4.1/5Player ratingView game
5
Gunfire Reborn
ActionShooterAdventure
The nearest thing to it: co-op FPS runs where weapon and skill combinations snowball into something absurd.
3.9/5Player ratingView game
