The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy patient survival, reading a living ecosystem, and learning a hostile world through repeated attempts: Each rain cycle unfolds in an ecosystem where creatures follow their own habits, so a familiar region can produce a new situation on every return. Tradeoff: Steep early difficulty and little explanation of failure can frustrate players who expect clear guidance or quick wins.

The setup
What you are walking into
Rain World is a survival platformer set in an abandoned industrial environment ravaged by a shattered ecosystem. Bone-crushingly intense rains pound the surface, making life as we know it almost impossible. The creatures in this world hibernate most of the time, but in the few brief dry periods they go out in search of food.
