Survivors are the core gameplay value in Risk of Rain Returns, as each of these 14 characters comes with unique skills offering versatile builds and playstyles. At the same time, you start with two characters, Hunter and Commando; the rest of the roster needs to be unlocked.
Survivors like HAN-D, Robomando, and Pilot will require you to go above and beyond while doing runs, but not all of them demand extensive grinds for unlocking. Chef is one such playable character that becomes accessible once you collect a few items, all of which are related to food, of course!

Here is the list of items you must acquire in a single run to unlock Chef Survivor in Risk of Rain Returns.
With the exception of Bitter Root, the remaining items are unlocked by default and will spawn randomly from the chests or after beating the boss.
To get Bitter Root to appear in the item pool, you need to complete the “In Good Health” challenge that tasks you to reach 650 health for any survivor in a single run.
Increasing the base health of any survivor can be achieved with the use of items or leveling up as you clear stages and keep on looping the game’s map. However, the best and the quickest method to reach a higher health pool is by getting an Infusion item, as this one increases your survivor’s base health permanently by 0.5 with every enemy killed.
Getting the Chef character in the game seems like a straight task as you need to get five food-related items we have listed above. However, since the item drops are purely RNG-based and you never know what item drops next as you open a chest, using Artifact of Command is the only way to ensure you get the desired items.
If you still haven’t obtained it, to get Artifact of Command in Risk of Rain Returns, explore the top right side on The Hive Cluster, and there is a great chance you get this item. Once you have it, end your current run and begin the next one with this Artifact enabled.
Doing so will give you a choice of selecting items every time you open a chest, enabling you to pick select items instead of forcing random drops. After that, focus on getting the five food items required to unlock Chef, and once you have all of these, Chef will become playable in the next run.

If you thought train heists were reserved for Western games like RDR, you’re wrong. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 adds a fun and rewarding train heist to the game.
After waving goodbye to the extremely popular Fortnite Season OG, Epic Games has now transitioned players to a brand new era of the battle royale with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 1. This season is known as Underground and with it comes a brand new map, fresh bosses, new vehicles to take for a spin, and so much more. Speaking of vehicles, a train has joined the island which you can use to quickly travel around the island. Additionally, there’s the option to complete a train heist in Fortnite, granting you some solid loot.

Equipment is the utility option that further aids your character besides the main skills and some of the best offensive and defensive items in Risk of Rain Returns. You can always carry one equipment at a time, and it can be manually activated, just like skills in the game.
Not many games have a story like Indika, a game about a 19th century Russian Orthodox nun journeying to the centre of her soul with an «unusual, horn-headed companion.» Drawing inspiration from Dostoevsky and Bulgakov and dripping with dark humour, Indika tells a tale of religion and authority, madness and belief. But also, not many games have a story like Indika, whose developer Odd Meter left Russia when the country invaded Ukraine in February last year. Calling the invasion an «insane crime» perpetrated to «satisfy the ambitions of an elderly, weak-minded dwarf,» game director and studio founder Dmitry Svetlow decided to up and move Indika's development—and the company behind it—out of Moscow to neighbouring Kazakhstan, even moving the «entire recording studio by truck.» And both of those stories make it, for me, one of the most fascinating games to grace this year's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted.
STALKER 2 developer GSC Game World was recently interviewed by the Chinese website GamerSky. Among various questions, the development team commented on the current Q1 2024 launch window.
Surviving in Risk of Rain Returns becomes impossible as difficulty scales and stronger enemy types and bosses start to appear and hunt you down. You will need to equip some of the best offensive items in the game to keep clearing stages and continue looping. Weaker items will only weigh you down and get you killed in the long run.
Defeating bosses, looping stages, and acquiring powerful items or the stacks of existing ones are the core gameplay elements in Risk of Rain Returns. Having the best defensive items bolsters your chances of surviving anything the game throws at you, and without these, any build is prone to fail, and your character will die as difficulty spikes.
Risk of Rain Returns features secret survivors and stages that require players to go the extra mile to unlock them. While each stage in the game houses secrets, items, and Artifacts for the players to find, locating Boar Beach is pure luck.
Risk of Rain Returns is one of the coolest remakes I’ve ever played. It takes everything that was so good about the original and upgrades it. Rather than just being the same game again but with a new lick of paint, it fuses different aspects of Risk of Rain 2 onto the original, shines up the visuals and the music, and even adds in a few new things as well. The result is a game that’s highly replayable and thoroughly enjoyable.
