Before I say much, I want to say while I enjoyed the first one to an extent, it just wasn't for me. The gameplay aspect was unique but the actual style and 2d side-scrolling bit didn't click with me.

That said, Risk of Rain 2 is fantastic. The game is still in it's baby stage and it is infinitely more fun than the first one, imo. The ability to properly move and evade while using an array of unique and enjoyable abilities makes this game what it is.

If you enjoyed the first one, you should also enjoy this version.

If you were like me and somewhat enjoyed the first one and it didn't click with you, give it a try. It's worth it.
