I guess I've gotten a little rusty since I last played it, or maybe I used to rely on that artifact combo where you deal high damage then pick the green one that gains you health a little too much.
I'm enjoying the hell out of it but I'm still a little miffed that they left Risk of Rain 2 just kind of hanging in the wind on consoles.
One of these days I will break down and buy it on PC.
Update: never mind, just got my first clear. The old boy still got it! Man this game is a blast, and there are some interesting surprises as well.
