Cookie Clickers 2 vs Risk of Rain
Cookie Clickers 2
Cookie Clickers 2 is the highly awaited sequel to the breakout idle clicking game, Cookie Clicker. With even more cookies to bake, you'll need to set up your cookie-making empire once again with an army of super-nice grandmas who will work for next to nothing, auto-clicking cursors, cookie farms, and other fun upgrades. This time around though the cookies are more cartoonish looking - to fit the whimsical tone of the game - and that there are plenty more exciting new features such as the wheel of fortune, access to cookieland and the cookie shop, and a whole lot more.If you enjoyed playing Cookie Clicker or any idle clicking/tapping games in general, you'll really like this game. The progression in this game is satisfying enough to keep you engaged and the humor in it give the game a nice lighthearted feel.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
