#so I did Shoreline >>> Shaded >>> Industrial >>> Outskirts >>> Chimney

[anothermonikan]

never try to achieve The Nomad in Rain World, most stressful time of my fucking life (I did it tho :DD)

[headspace-hotel]

i finished rain world as the survivor. really cool and beautiful game just wish there were more plants

my opinion of regions (i had the downpour DLC which I know pipeyard is exclusive to it):

outskirts: i like the landscape but it can be annoying to navigate, theres a few places where if you miss a jump you have to spend like 5 minutes circling back around. 6/10

industrial complex: this is actually one of my favorites, theres lots of different areas to explore and lots of variety of terrain. 9/10

shaded citadel: another one of my favorites to explore, visually interesting, the lantern mice are really fun and the darkness gimmick is also fun, trying to get to memory crypts is terrible though and memory crypts is also terrible. 8/10

garbage wastes: just a lot of garbage piles not very visually interesting. I didn't spend a lot of time here though. 4/10

shoreline: the swimming mechanic sucks so bad and its easy to get stuck in a dead end here. It's cool that you meet looks to the moon here but the region itself is meh. 5/10

chimney canopy: really visually similar to a lot of the previous regions, just has a lot more platforming and death pits. its fun though. The Gutter is best avoided entirely. 6/10

the exterior: I completely skipped over the leg and the underhang and climbed up the wall instead, so that's the only part I can speak to. It's hard but really fun. I first encountered the dropwigs here, i love how they leave bait for slugcat to lure them in, it's so funny. 8/10

five pebbles: again, I missed almost the whole entirety of this region because I went in via climbing the wall. I LOVED the murals with the karma symbols, it was cool to have that window into the lore, and the encounter with five pebbles itself was also really neat. 8/10 I guess from that tiny piece of it.

pipeyard: it's ass. like all the worst parts of the game combined into one region. i thought i was going to be trapped in the sump tunnel for eternity. 2/10 i guess it could have been worse

sky islands: i actually didn't make it here at all so N/A

farm arrays: I visited but did not go very far. very straight and linear with lots of pits full of tentacles. The one cool thing is that we get to see the rain deer which are a really cool terrestrial megafauna. 5/10

drainage system: i kinda hated this one, way too much drowning in narrow pipes. 3/10

subterranean: the upper parts of it are pretty basic, just a disorienting maze of pipes with packs of black lizards crawling around everywhere, but the depths subregion is PHENOMENAL. the design of the guardians is so interesting and the guttering torchlight and roving searchlight-like illumination gives it a unique atmosphere. 8/10 lots to enjoy

Round 3 starts tommorrow!

With that said i need to add here a lil update: i will be out of town on a convention on 14 and 15. This won't affect the poll much, i did my best to make some polls before hand and schedule them on these days + a day before and after, so i can prepare and unwind with no worries. But what it means is that we will have ony one poll a day this weekend, i won't be able to add winners on those days on the poll next day and i might not be able to anwser slughunters during that time. I'm so sorry, i know that it's not the best, especially since we just had a week long break on the poll.

Also update for slug hunters: day 161 slug has been found by bonniesband! Congrats again 🎉

Also a lil of fun statistics

[nemofil]

i've given up on this runLKFJDKLFJS

i uhh i did not know that you'd get the echo by entering subterranean from farm arrays, since i typically enter subterranean from shoreline

a detour all the way back to shaded citadel for the singular echo would not be plausible either because. i've died too many times lmao

better luck next time for me i suppose!

if anyone's curious my route was: farm arrays - sky islands (where i wasted a whopping 10 CYCLES) - chimney canopy - the wall - five pebbles - back to wall and chimney canopy - industrial complex - shaded citadel - shoreline - subterranean, where i eventually gave up

at some point i kinda wanted to try my luck with outskirts but... scav toll... they do have a storage room with pearls before the toll iirc so i could just. Steal. but i think that entrance is very close to the toll anyway, like "get out of my territory" close

the worst thing to happen to my hunter run: become a mother
