Sluggier than thou

The slugcat ofRain Worldis a distinct little character.

He flops around, squeezing through narrow tunnels with a movement that’s both cute and mildly gross.

He is, however, never stepped upon by a mech with a missile launcher.

The creature of Urus runs alongside a mech across a wasteland.

He is never given a shotgun and tasked with shooting the other animals.

It seems a lot more focused on action and conflict, in contrast to Rain World’s exploratory survivalism.

At one point, your creature clambers into a minigun.

Another moment seems to have the player piloting a mech with powerful weapons.

Later, the player is acting like controlling a little ship with turrets.

Other features look very familiar.

Rain World, for all its quirks and idiosyncrasies, displays a courage unlike many other games.

If someone wants to pump more of that heady toxin into the game-o-sphere, who can blame them?
