Looks at thumbnail. “Aw this seems cute!” Watches video... “Oh...”

This game was one of the most unique and brilliant experiences I've ever had.

its ok i guess

This game is one of my all time favourites, the way creatures behave, the different ways you can approach encounters (sneak by, distract & escape, attack, befriend), the gorgeous environments, seriously it took so many unconventional design choices that you can't find anything else like it

slugcat for smash.

Rain World is great. It's a crime scene that people don't talk about this game more.

Why does this girl sound like she should be teaching me how to make Chicken Alfredo on the Food Network?

I'm always excited about the indie games which keeps coming out

7.8/10 Too much water

Hey comment trawlers! Long-time player here! I just want to let you know that yes, this game is great, although certainly not for everyone. Even from the beginning, you are left mostly to your own devices. The game teaches you the most basic of movement up front, and offers other hints with tantalizing infrequency. This is a survival game, but the emphasis is more on exploring and experimenting. There's a surprising depth to Slugcat's movements, and there's little keeping you from exploring wherever you want, other than your own ability to survive. And there is a lot to explore. If that sounds interesting to you, then look no further. This game is the perfect match for a certain type of player. Just make sure you know what you're getting into so you don't get overwhelmed. It can take some time to get your footing, but the experience is very rewarding once you do. I've yet to experience what changes are offered in the 1.7 build, but I can definitely say I will be buying this version of the game as well. Playing Rain World on the go sounds like a hoot, and Videocult deserves so much more than I've given. The list of games I can pour 500+ hours into is extremely short, and this one of them. My first playthrough alone managed to eat up 40 hours, though your own could look much different-it just depends on how you play and where you happen to go. To those getting into this game for the first time, I hope you have fun! This game has been a great experience for me, and I hope you enjoy it, too.

This is a hidden gem. Pick it up if you think an immersive, responsive, alien world that tries to kill you at every turn would be interesting to explore.

I love how ragdolly everything feels, rather than having specifiic animations, I also love the horror aspect

" iS iT lIkE lIMbO ?" no.. not at all. The only similarity is thoses game are 2d indie with plateforms (and the plateforming is much more present in rainworld than limbo ) limbo is a classical adventure puzzle : go to puzzle A - finish puzzle A - go to puzzle B - ...finish the game rainworld is a harsh plateformer survival in an open world with a metroivania-esque level design. If you only focus on finishing the game the most direct way you'll find (not talkign about speedrunning) there is plenty of region you'll miss...while an other player who also just focused on finished the game might have gone through completes differents regions. In rainworld you will die ,die ,die ,die not by not understanding some puzzles but byt not understanding the world and it's omni present dangers around you, and you MUST survive, and that one room where you died multiple time? well you MIGHT have to go through it multiple times, so just tryign again and again until you pass might not be enought.

This game is so good, just started playing yesterday and I'm loving every second of it. The way it creates fear of the other animals feels so real.

I kinda rolled my eyes when I first saw this because I thought it was just ANOTHER sidescrolling dark atmosphere indie game. But wow this looks pretty cool.

After nearly 300 hours of playing on PC alone: If you're a sucker for a wonderful world of trials, tribulations, and mysteries, then Rain World is the game for you, and I promise it's worth playing to the end - Every area is a brand new experience!

it's raining down here

really dont get people comparing this with limbo or hollow knight...

The creature is SO CUTE!!!! I want one.

It's a harsh world where hope is nothing but the punchline to a tasteless joke. Death is as familiar as the dark skies. Any will to live is lost instantly. ... It also has local co-op for you to have fun with your friends together.

I bought this game a couple of days ago, and why this didn't get more attention? I mean, is unbelievable amazing and well detailed. It is sad that this and others indie gems remain unappreciated :(

Rain World is so good I literally feel a bit sad that I can’t experience the game for the first time completely blind again

When I saw a thumbnail i was like "Oh, I hope it's a cute game! The creature looks pretty!" and then I was like "what no"

I’m so glad I found this game, even if I’m late to finding it. such a masterpiece, and I’m glad it’s on switch so I could play it

This game makes you feel an emotion that doesn’t exist

310 hours later and this is still bringing me back best purchase I made for my switch

After 300+ hours of playing it in PC I definitely want it on my switch.

Loved the game from day one. I suck at it, I’ve yet to even beat it, but I love exploring the vast world and observing all of the creatures that share it with me.

Is it just me or do most indie gamws nowadays consist of sidescrolling through a depressing world? They all seem the same to me

Looks interesting tbh

Played it a bit so far, and it's great!

I have this game, I don’t know what to do and everything I do I am afraid to do. For me this is just “anxiety the game.”

"local multiplayer. 1-4" I did not know that 1 person is already multiplayer

I wanna get this game, mostly because it looks absolutely terrifying and I'm already used to the "die, die, die again" loop of games like this, from playing Dead Cells. One problem: I absolutely love the rain.

Oh heck I saw this a while back and never got around to it, buying now

looks pretty cool. have to check it out after I'm done with all the other great nindies I've yet to complete

This game is so good it makes me actually tear up!

Looks pretty good

I once saw a Gamer Played this game, however, he did not played it for long. So, curious, I got the game and try it out myself. And, boy oh boy, I did not know what was waiting for me in this Amazing Masterpiece. It's a good Game.

FINALLY, THIS GAME GETS THE ADMIRATION IT NEEDS!

Ori and the Death Forest

One of my favourite, played it on Steam. A unique kind of game

I learned to love this game in the end and it has a tonne of interesting lore if you dig for it, but wow was it revoltingly hard.

OMG I've been waiting for this!!!

bro this game was lit a long time ago when I first played it

One of my favorite games of all time! ❤️👌

rain world, such an awesome game. I'm glad it's getting a switch release.

When I saw this trailer I immediately thought “mat pat will have fun with this one”

Got a Nintendo for Christmas, definitely gonna play thus game

I love this game. Looking forward to it on switch

Holy its amazing

I forgot about this game. Markiplier started it and never finished the game. At least on his channel. I don't know if he streamed the rest of it. Looks really interesting though.

such fluid animations in a pixilated game reminds me of dead cells

I feel it reminds me of ori and the blind forest just a little bit. (Only the nature part though)

I remember watching a playthrough :) never knew this was on switch

I've been waiting for this.

I just realized that the song at the start is a very specific song that still gives me PTSD. Love this game, but good lord...

Reminds me of that phone game where u played as the black floating blob I love it

This game is pretty hard

Looks like all of my nightmares and dreams combined in a single game

This game is fantastic, I definitely recommend it

It started raining outside as soon as I started playing the first time...

I love it. The art style is just so....fluid.

This looks amazing. I'm going to buy a switch for smash bros ultimate and this

edit: for the people who love animal companions in games, yes. you can tame the lizards. edit 2: yes, you can get a plush of slugcat (the character you play as). i think ill put this comment here in case anyone new comes across this trailer and is considering buying rain world. rain world is my favourite game, however its not made for everyone so ill give you a quick rundown. this game excels in: - amazing world building - captivating lore - fitting such a large range of movement into small controls - ai that feels real - creating an atmosphere for each region - creating a challenge (one that i personally found motivating) where it fails is very sparce in my experience, although this is mostly based on my opinion: - the movement system using thumbsticks. i much prefer the steam version to the switch as it is much easier to use a keyboard, however you can always use the arrows when the thumbstick fails, as some things require precise direction (of which is hard to do with the thumbstick) - explaining itself. if you buy this game and get confused by anything, its ok to ask questions, when i first bought rainworld i turned to the community to ask all the things i needed to know, and they happily obliged. the basics the game doesnt explain to you are: 1. the movement system, although you can slowly figure this out on your own i would recommend looking up a guide for more complex movements (such as learning how to slide and put spear ledges into the ground to gain extra height). 2. there are humanoid creatures with spears running around. if you come up to a cluster of them with a large mask thing, throw them a pearl (preferably a white one rather than a coloured one if you are interested in the lore). and 3. hold down and press the button you use to pickup stuff to drop stuff. one of the things that was so great about this game in my initial playthrough was the difficulty. i finished the game in 35 hours, most of the times i was playing were 2 hour sessions, as i would get frustrated and decide to take a break. when i returned, however, and spent a coupled more tries to beat a certain section and finally did it, the feeling of pride at the accomplishment (beating a part of a videogame, how amazing) was addictive. there were parts where i just couldnt beat it, but i overcame these by either trying new routes, or looking up help (one of the regions is extremely hard to beat, however there is a much easier path you can take, if you spend too long on one part its probably in your best interest to look up 'easy route' in case there is one). after my first playthrough, i immediately started a new save file, the ending had gotten my interest and my second playthrough was dedicated to uncovering the lore and story behind the world. this one i used a lot more of a guide to understand the basics of how to do this, but without spoiling the game, it requires the coloured pearls you can scarcely find around the map. beyond that, the game is amazing in terms of exploration. once you get more used to the controls and gain a bit more bravery (most of the lizards you can jump over as the majority of them use a charge attack that takes a couple seconds for them to lunge forwards, or you can use garbage to stun them and quickly stab them several times with a spear by throwing it at them and quickly picking it up before throwing it again) there are over 1600 screens in rainworld, allowing you a huge environment to explore. if you find the karma system too taxing (the ranks you gain when you hibernate / lose when you die) there is an easy glitch you can do to make it obselete, i consider this useful for beginners as it makes the game just a little bit easier (not to mention the speedrunners make good use of this). in the end, do i recommend this game? depends on what kind of person you are, but if you are motivated by challenge, and interested by a huge world and interesting lore, then yes. i 100% recommend this game.

oh my gosh i need this game.forget kirby in the forgotten land,forget that other game i forgot about i want this sooner or later

The krokodile scene had me buying it!

This was the game that Parkergames played on his show!

That creature design seems pretty awesome

And I thought youtube notification now include weather forecast. As it is raining currently.

Hard to take seriously with mario in the corner

They werent kidding when they said "endless death"

I can't find Sotyfe in the comments anywhere

Looking pretty great

omg I need that game Right now In my console This instant!

It's my favorite game

seems like a good game to play when it rains

I like the animations a lot, and what looks like a physics engine being influenced by said animations. A lot more dynamic than the stiff, choppy stuff you see in the 300 billion other indie Meteoidvania platformers.

Wow there’s some 2-d platformers out on switch g that look incredible!!!!!

I love the black little nightmares theme/colours this game will pop on the OLED!

... Was not expecting this little gem to hit the switch. It's awesome how it's got all these cool new features too. >):^]

This game is as gorgeous as staring at an eldritch being. The only thing I've been playing is rain world for a month now. 9/10 only problem is waiting for that downpour dlc.

Mark needs to keep playing this game

Slug Cat for Smash

Makes me think about the reverse version of carrion

The rain animation is *intense*

dear god this game is brutal! I read somewhere that this game went under the radar due to the painful difficulty spikes, as the player base for it drop so quick due to reaching some part in the game where people after trying and failing over and over until giving up on it completely and left the game. I remember the devs did say they wanted to update the game to have a tutorial mode for beginners and slightly lower the difficulty, don't know if they did or not.

Chimney canopy is the bane of my existence.

looks interesting

7.5/10 would buy definitely looks interesting

I love this game

Reminds me of Flashback or some other Amiga game. Looks really good.

Def buying this game, gives. Me. Limbo vibes but still very unique looking.

Oh boy the part with the flashes scared me

I need it in the Wii U *now*

I had NO idea it was on the Switch!!!

Truly under-rated

If you can handle a tough challenge, play this game.
