![]() In theory, all of this sounds great, especially given how good the game looks in motion. Rain World (PS4) – the water effects are gorgeous too These creatures respawn at random whenever you die, so you never know what you’re going up against and there’s no way to plan in advance. ![]() Your slugcat can defend itself with makeshift weapons pulled from the detritus of the old world, but this is often little use against the monstrous creatures that range from giant lizards to electric centipedes, huge sea creatures, and more intelligent spear-wielding enemies. Apart from being a platformer Rain World is more survival game than Metroidvania, as you attempt to return home in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by strange mutants and under constant threat of deadly rainstorms. The little ‘slugcat’ you control is a similarly cute main character, but the comparisons quickly begin to peter out after that. Another tempting comparison is Ori And The Blind Forest, but since developer Videocult has apparently been working on the game for six years we’re not sure how direct an influence that has been (and yes, that means the original Super Meat Boy is older than six years).
