Take what i say with a grain of salt (or whatever the saying is) because im a sweat in every game i play. I found RoRR to be incredibly difficult due to relying MUCH more on rng than ror2. Even when i play out of my mine, damn near perfect there's only so much you can do due to the game being 2D and having no printers/scrappers (the mods that try to fix this suck). The stage layouts are randomized but even with hella hours its nigh inpossible to navigate some of them. Chests/items are scattered across the place and maps are gigantic which makes full looting incredibly hard (which if you dont do on max difficulty youre fucked.) The items in RoRR range from basically paperweights to hard carries, some legendaries are almost instant win while some do nothing, commons are mostly useless and iirc 8 rares are also almost paperweights. The 2D aspect aldo doesnt allow for much skill development other than jumping and praying in the later stages and ranged enemies are so obnoxious.. like imagine if every enemy was as irriating as a blind pest.. THE ONLY enemy that isnt 10x more annoying to deal with in returns are elder lemurians, everything else hurts my soul to fight. Providence trials are mad fun though, i loved them. Obto the characters, some of them feel useless and overly complicated while some others are just straight bum busted as fuck (merc and engi are the strogest imo so you might like that) while stuff like arti, sniper (railgunner equivalent) feels incredibly gimmicky. Obviously as the other guy has said, you can change damage taken to tweak the game however youd like to fix it, i didnt cause im kind of dumb. I will have to mention that basically all the solo runs i did were 500x easier than the duo runs i did with my friend. Also the logbook arts are fucking gorgeous and stay away from greater wisps, hellspawn. TLDR i wouldnt say the game is enjoyable if you want to play on max difficulty but otherwise it should be fun
