Risk of Rain vs Wuppo
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).
Wuppo
Wuppo is an incredibly-cute and charming, 2D platformer with fun puzzles, unique art, tons of collectibles, and interesting boss fights. In this game, you'll need to help Wuppo the Wum return to the Wumhouse in which it was evicted from, but of course, the task isn't as easy as it sounds! Even if you’re not a particularly huge fan of such games, Wuppo will still be able to make you fall in love with its adorable charm. It’s really that good!From the few hours I’ve spent playing Wuppo, I can attest that it absolutely deserves its Overwhelming Positive rating on Steam. The game isn’t just an adorable game; it also comes with some pretty tricky jumping puzzles/ obstacle courses; interesting boss fights and a ton of story that will make you not only fall heads-over-heels with Wuppo itself but also with the world Wuppo lives in. Definitely a game worth its asking price!
