Talk:Rain World

Significant user acclaim?
I’m not the right person to add this, nor do I yet have a personal opinion on the quality of the game. But it seems like the “Reception” section could stand to mention the community reception as well- e.g. the 1,079 steam reviews that presently give the game an average rating of 9/10. The disparity seems notable enough to merit a mention. Dagdammit (talk) 20:04, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It would be notable if it were noted by reliable, secondary sources. Otherwise, user-generated feedback is notorious for being manipulated/subject to caveats. czar  21:57, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

I think even adding some details in the lead next to the summary of mixed critical reviews is probably a good idea. Rain World has definitely (A) built a significant cult following since release and (B) been heavily reappraised as an extremely good game both critically and with audiences since the initial mixed critical reaction. The obvious challenge with documenting this in the article is having objective sources and citations for saying so. If we can collect those it would be valuable for the article. It's an accurate thing to document regarding the game's reception. --180.150.37.234 (talk) 05:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I understand that Wikipedia has policies that editors must follow, and that those policies are in place for good reasons. But no policy is just in every situation, and in this particular case Wikipedia policy has committing an injustice for some time.64.85.227.176 (talk) 19:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Release of Downpour
I really don't know how add this into the wikipedia article in a nice way but maybe someone could 2001:48F8:7052:BE5:0:0:0:106C (talk) 02:00, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Positive user reviews
I feel that the critic reviews of Rain World do not paint a full picture of the reception, as user reviews tended to lean more toward the positive side. I do not know how to add this, though. 209.237.105.194 (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Dedicated section on Downpour?
I think Downpour is a noteworthy enough addition to the game that it needs a full section in the article rather than a single mention of its announcement and release. Atlas2432015 (talk) 14:09, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Inclusion of Downpour into plot?
I feel that Downpour should also be explained in the plot. It adds 5 new characters that are much more intertwined with the plot of the iterators than the original characters, but they were all completely skipped over in the plot section. I think we should include them into the plot somehow TheWikiToby (talk) 05:59, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Just added Downpour into the plot
I just added the plot of the 5 campaigns in the Downpour DLC. I'm a more newer editor, so I'm bound to have probably made a mistake somewhere in the writing. Someone look at what I added and fix anything I may have overlooked.

 * Thanks for your work, really appreciate it. I've trimmed it down significantly though, as the plot section was getting rather unwieldy (the Wikipedia Manual of Style for video games recommends 700 words for plot summaries). Free to amend it if I've accidentally omitted anything important though. ― novov (t   c)  07:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
