Much of the overall experience is drained by these two factors because of the limited mobility and the inability to keep track of your own items. Both you and the other player can't wander too far away from one another and you can't see your individual items. Local co-op for the console release works the same as it does on PC. It is also not all that amazing for local co-op no matter the platform. Risk of Rain is better with other people.
Local co-op is regretfully the same as on PC The console ports fall short of Risk of Rain on PC, primarily for multiplayer-oriented reasons.
#RISK OF RAIN 2 MULTIPLAYER PS4#
Any fan without a PS4 would rightfully be upset to hear the PC version would be the "inferior" one due to its not-so-great netcode.īut in action, the PlayStation 4 and Vita version of the game is not the PC-version killer some made them out to be. Trying to connect to other players can be a nightmare with on PC, not to mention the game's desyncing issues mid-play.
My personal hype for Risk of Rain on PlayStation 4 and Vita was overshadowed by my dismay the console version of the game was getting dedicated servers, while we PC players still have to struggle with port forwarding and Hamachi. There's certainly a reason Risk of Rain still has active players spattered about the Internet, eager for a host with a good connection for multiplayer runs.
