What Rain World is

The premise, in the publisher's words
"You are a nomadic slugcat, both predator and prey in a broken ecosystem. Intense, bone-crushing rains pound the surface and make life almost impossible for most of the year, but the dry season has just arrived. Grab your spear and brave the industrial wastes, hunting enough food to survive another hibernation cycle, but be wary— other, bigger creatures have the same plan... and slugcats look delicious."

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action, horror, mystery and open world. It supports multiplayer. Local play supports 4 players. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 47 achievements to unlock.

Rain World holds a critic score of 62 out of 100. That places it above 21% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2017 averaged 71, so it scored 9 points below the year average. Players rate it 69, 7 points higher than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 23 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 79.3 hrs, roughly 3.4 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 4th Gen i3 / 1st Gen Ryzen, 4 GB RAM and Intel HD (Integrated), GeForce 6 Series / Radeon R7 Series. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 4GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
