Game News “It’s really in bad shape,” it’s the first expansion since buying this video game rated 17/20, and that’s nonsense. Fans are angry.
Although Borderlands 4 was announced live during the opening night of gamescom, the Gearbox teams are currently working on something else. Their latest game was released a few days ago and even the studio’s ambassador admitted that there is still a lot of work to be done.
A start that disappoints everyone
In 2022, the Gearbox studio, development studio and publisher of the series will be announced Border countriesbought the rights to Risk of Rain from Hopoo Games. Two years later, on August 27th, they released additional content for Risk of Rain 2 with Seeker of the StormThe launch of the expansion has already drawn the ire of players, as evidenced by the expansion’s Steam page, which has rather negative reviews overall, highlighting the price as well as the numerous bugs caused by the update that accompanied the release of this additional content.
Risk of Rain 2: Seekers of the Storms is presented as additional content to the second Risk of Rain game, which Hopoo Games released on console in March 2020. The software was also nominated for the SXSW Gaming Awards in 2019 and won a Steam Award in the “It’s better with others” category.. This praise certainly motivated Hopoo Games. In 2023, the studio released Risk of Rain Returns, a remake of its first game, which was well received by the press and players.
Criticism of Gearbox’s proposed DLC is increasing comes after multiple recognition for the previous Risk of RainReleased in 2013, Hopoo Games’ first action platformer with its pixelated aesthetic received a very good metascore of 85 on Metacritic and 93% positive reviews on Steam.
Temporary solutions before the patch
In a Discord post, Gearbox ambassador Preston Weiler admits that the additional content “really in a bad condition” and invites players to report any bugs for the next patch. In the meantime, the Gearbox representative recommends lowering the frame rate to 60 to resolve some of the issues.
Yes, the PC version is in a bad state, the teams are focusing on it. If you find any bugs that have not been mentioned yet, please report them. We review every single report from players. They are essential for feedback to testers and developers.
A Gearbox mishap, far from what happened to the original studio. Hoppo Games announced this week its closure as well as the cancellation of its next game, as its founders and key members have joined the Valve studio.
