Alright, let’s dive into this without any polished gloss. If I ramble a bit, well, that’s just the human touch, right?

So yeah, Risk of Rain 2—this roguelike that somehow has people glued to their screens—is rolling out some funky new stuff. Gearbox, after picking up where Hopoo left off, has decided to stir the pot again with this new thing called the Alloyed Collective DLC. I gotta say, the name sounds kinda sci-fi, right?
Here’s the scoop: shiny new stages, gadgets, baddies, and wait for it… a brand new boss. They’re making a big push on these Solus constructs, which, if you ask me—who thought I’d ever care about floating metal orbs? Could be cool though. And drones, oh boy, they’re now customizable. Finally, I mean, drones that might do more than just awkwardly hover around and glitch into corners. Guess we all have dreams.
Now, let’s backtrack a sec—remember when Gearbox fumbled a bit with their last expansion, Seekers of the Storm? It got a beat down in reviews. Bad code, characters all over the place—it was a trainwreck. But give them credit; they owned up and fixed a lot of it. So, here’s me hoping they learned their lesson.
It’s sorta nostalgic, seeing them bring back some old characters too. Enforcer, Miner, HAN-D? Those guys? Might be strutting back with some fresh moves. And hey, if you’re into stacking silly items like Hopoo Feathers, this might just be another rabbit hole for you.
Ugh, and I almost forgot the new boss drama. That means more endgame shenanigans. Third route or something? Sounds like they’re trying to spice up the repeat play. Could someone’s dream of being a boss get a little nod here? Maybe. Maybe not. But hey, speculation is the spice of gamer life, right?
Anyway, circling back to those lazy drones—I do wonder how that customization’s gonna pan out. Are they just teasing us? Imagine enemies saying, “Oh no, not more drones!” The kind of wacky chaos you want in a game like this.
So yeah, Alloyed Collection, where solus-robots, returning legends, and drones (finally!) may decide to work right for once. Let’s see if Gearbox hits or misses this time—I’m hopeful, yet cautiously skeptical. But that’s life, eh? You play, you learn, you repeat. Or something like that.
Did I cover everything? Honestly, who knows. But there it is, my messy take.
