The second Risk of Rain 2 DLC, Seekers of the Storm, is the first major update to come to the legendary roguelike since Borderlands studio Gearbox acquired the IP in November 2022. Everything looked promising: fresh stages, new and returning characters, more items, and a development team that seemed optimistic about the series' comeback after Gearbox canceled a mobile game spinoff which it spun up right after acquiring the series.
That comeback has swiftly turned into a comedown: with just 34% positive reviews on Steam two days after release, Seekers of the Storm is the worst-rated Risk of Rain anything by a big margin. Canceled mobile game aside, the series has had a sterling run up to this point, earning multiple slots on our list of the best roguelikes.
