Rain World: Downpour Review: You Are (not) Alone 

I just realized you have a yt. Thanks for helping me that one time i was playing rain world :D

Rain World fandom summoned Prepare for video engagement

Downpour is the single best dlc I have ever played for a game. It loses some of its unforgiving esotericism in the form of the remix menu and spearmaster's frankly unnecessary iterator logs, but outside of that it's such a perfect expansion to the game. I really like it as a counterpart to the base game's nihilism as well. Saint's campaign is the best part of the dlc, and I love this quote from the undergrowth echo there: "Why did they search for an escape, as if we were imprisoned! What offering from the void could usurp the gift of life already given? This moment, right here! It is where we are meant to be."

3:39 Ok this is a brilliant way to differentiate people who have played rain world and people that haven’t

You forgot eggspedition, which gives that overarching goal of expedition 🐢

Now you should play the secret character.

This guy made A 46 MINUTE video on downpour to get 20 likes :( RIP

I can’t wait for the watcher, more Rain World!

Man this video is too good to only have 200 likes, can’t wait for your review of the watcher.

I agree about Artificer's campaign. The camera is one of my worst enemies there, and I remember my friend introducing to me a camera scroll mod. That was when I finally gave in to get my first ever mod into Rainworld (along with Controllable Deer mod because I didn't know about the remix options until later.) The idea of Artificer staying in the violence karma is a cool idea, but I'm tired of dragging a body with me everytime I want to explore too... But despite its flaws, I still love playing Rainworld so much it technically ruined my life now, pfft. Thanks for the wonderful video!

5:38 oh yeah, i crossed submerged superstructure as gourmand because i thought that was where i needed to go (i was following the food quest and those weird glowy things were next on the list), gave moon the cloak, and lived to tell the tale. i wonder what wacky stories gourmand told their tribe after returning from that hell hole.

12:21 I disagree I found playing spearmaster then rivulet will make more sense to play as the first scug then the 2 last to be chronological to 5p story and the story of spear master is less impactful after playing rivulet as you know what’s going to happen to 5p and moon.

This will a be super unpopular opinion, but I actually heavily dislike the scrolling mod. For me static camera is the part of the game's charm, and I never found it hard to acclimate to it (and before someone makes a cheeky response like "try to acclimate to X thing when you will encounter it" - I've collected all of the colored pearls as Artificer without passages and then did her accention ending, so, trust me, I know what I am talking about) However, it worth noting that I am generally very allergic to any mods in games, so I know I am in the absolute minority here (though, I wish the scrolling mod wasn't so omnipresent on the Rain World youtube - makes most of its videos impossible to watch for me)

Ah, Gourmand. Or as I and I alone like to call him, Uncle Chonky.

FUCK YEAH FELLOW RUBICON LOVER!!!!

5:22 me who spent about 17 hours as survivor taking the difficulty of submerged superstructure as a challenge rather than a "GO. AWAY." and managed to almost get to moon's heart (after many, many deaths.) before realising i wasnt supposed to be there

yoo, downpour this time. your first video bout this one got me to buy it, loved it

5:30 if i am not mistaken survivor and monk can find a cloth here that they can wear or give it to Moon.

Great work as usual.

I remember watching the ultra kill, cultic, and rain world videos when they came out, and I’m so happy I got the channel recommended to me again after so much time, great video.

Very cool video, well done!!

Hey great video! Just wanted to let you know about artificer, if you don’t use your explosion powers, scabs won’t find you as easily, but when you do it’s like echolocation. So probably the reason why the scavs were beating your ass is cuz you probably uses your ability too much!

24:53 I played artificer, spearmaster and hunter after survivor cuz I thought that being able to fight back the world would make the game easier but experienced hell instead. On the bright side, I did git gud.

Now this is epic gaming

Nice Video!

lets go he finally made a video on downpour

Finally you played it

I wonder how long the watcher dlc will be. Hopefully it’s amazing

43:40 no? I did every challenge in expedition in like 2 weeks cause I liked it that much. tough I will admit it was mostly because of the unlockable perk, I already knew every perk before playing and the thought of being able to play with them pushed me to do harder and harder expeditions and together with the absurdly in depth movement system it provided me with quite a lot of hours of just having fun

evan jelly on reference with the title

dis needs more views

40:45 You can actually create a txt file in game directory which will enforce coop for Downpour campaigns. There are some bugs with them, but I don't know what these are, since I never saw them personally. (Probably the same as Unshackled Coop)

Made me laugh in the first 10 seconds, subscribed

Submerged has a "purpose" outside of Rivulets campaign, if you didn't know already. It has 2 purposes outside of Rivulets campaign.

totally second you on the story part!

THE METAL PIPE AT THE END

Being a small youtuber is tough. Take my sub

Ahh yes the thumbnail the only thing that made me press this vide

New dlc soon....the watcher is coming

For those who are interested, there's a mod on the Rain World workshop "SplitScreen Co-op" which does what it says on the tin, allowing the players to completely split up from each other. It's fairly configurable and It also has the added bonus (if you have a dual monitor setup) to have an entire other monitor dedicated to player 2. However, it's worth noting, at least it appears so, steam remote play *CANNOT* be used with the second monitor player, so instead you'll need to set-up a streaming program like Sunshine and Moonlight in order to play. I would however recommend only doing this with someone you know and trust because this isn't as sandboxed as steam's remote play, and without proper set up can let people remote control your computer. This is also is a good bit more demanding than the regular game, since your computer needs to render the game twice, so it may not run very good if your computer isn't the greatest.

Suffering plus wooo

I just found out about this game 🙌 its so amazing, i cant wait to play iy

*I used a translator As you may have already known, I wanted to let you know that when you hang as tightly to a deer's body as possible in a saint campaign, they can be a good supplement to warmth. If you hold onto the deer's antlers and press down on the arrow keys, you'll see that the saint's body is gradually turning green.

Another good mod to use for coop is the split screen, wich does exactly what it says and I think it gives more freedom for the players to go anywhere without the risk of being too far. Also my opinion, I really like expedition. Haven't played much yet but it gives a lot of replayability if you're already done with the main campaigns and don't want to focus on the main story anymore, the extra abilities and burdens you can unlock are great modifiers, also I just like to collect the music tracks that honestly are majestic both main and dlc content lol.

Co-op can be played normally in all camapigns, you simply have to turn it on in the games files

There's also a lot of mods in the workshop a lot of them being very high quality. There are a few joke ones though. But ultimately the Rainworld community is a pretty nice community a times. Other then that Downpour is a must have if you enjoy the game. I don't regret my purchases and I hope that this let's you give this game a try if you never heard of it before.

I hope they ad the slide cmaera mod in the remix option on the next upd 😊 (also there was a silent construct image in the arena part)

*"The community will arrive shortly..."*

Underated

7:20 "for a fun surprise" that's fucked up

There is one more campaign, although if you left it out on purpose I would understand. In case you don't know: type "Sofanthiel" while in the main menu. The title of your first review fits very well with this campaign...

I feel the same way about expedition as well

Personally I find the smooth camera weird, I'm too used to the static one

40:16 I get your issue try the mod split screen co-op it adds splitscreen

Fun fact i found this week. If you restart saint progress after completing the story, the cycles does not restart with it.

cool

19:23 bro thinks everything is Minecraft 💀💀💀

Great video I think it can convince a few more people to get the dlc or fuck even get the original game without being spoiled.

Maybe you are a little bit late but better late then never

Will the key items respawn without tracking enabled now also?

11:36 lol

ONLY 258 LIKES AND 1K VIEWS SERIOSULY?

Spoilers for the images he shown . . . . . . . . . . WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO REALIZE IT WAS LOOKS TO THE MOON, VOID WORMS AND 5 PEBBLES?! WHYYYYYY

I... well completely disagree with you on expedition mode, it includes that is, yes optional BUT completely worth it! The challenges are well, challenges but they are all very fun, the main selling point of expedition is that you can unlock new abilities you can use that are NOT only in expedition you can use them in all their campaigns also the fact that its very fun with other people, it is hard but very optional and good

For me, the rivulet was my least favorite character. I really love exploring maps and taking my time, and even after the cycles went back to regular, I had to hold Orb, which didn’t leave me room for much else. I also dislike being fast, it felt like I was playing with ice physics the entire game. Also the lack of understanding why rivulet was helping. Are they sent from another iterator? Why didn’t they have a unique overseer to guide them? Why do they start with the mark of communication? I dunno. Maybe I just hate that one room in underhang that used to have the circle area under it, but now requires a grapple worm, and another hard platforming section after it. The one thing I did like was exploring the rot, though. I feel like the rivulet campaign suffers the most from “main character syndrome,” since they pretty much killed pebbles and saved moon, which none of the characters (other than hunter) were even able to come close to having a big an impact. I hated that I could just run past things and avoid danger completely, since I like thinking of fun ways to get by danger. I don’t hate rivulet, but they are my least favorite downpour character.

Evangelion

Inv?

What was the mod that shows what killed what in the corner?

RAIN WORLD THIS IS AN ENGAGEMENT COMMENT RAIN WORLD

Why the evangelion refference in the title

I agree with that. Downpour does change the Rain World vibe. Since now you feel like a protagonist, a super powered protagonist even, and with a role to play in the story. But here's the thing, do people really want more slugcats that has zero abilities, that also are insignificant? Do they want more of the same? If that's the case, then why make something new right? To me, the direction Downpour took is the only one that makes sense. And let's be honest, now, isntead of FP and Moon being background characters that adds worldbuilding and lore, we actually get a very compelling story with them as the main characters, and I think that's beautiful.

I really wished i could've liked Rain World. It was really cool but damn it was mean

Why is the thumbnail so ugly?

Not a huge fan of how you're doing the chapter headings... it's just feels weird and initially made me think something went wrong with editing or something. (No doubt it's even more annoying to people who just want to listen to your review and not necessarily pay attention to what's on screen)
