What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
RIVE is a fast-paced arcade-style twin-stick shooter with smooth controls, engaging storytelling, and satisfying weapon variety that players find genuinely fun despite its demanding difficulty. Common praise centers on the polished gameplay, charming protagonist voice acting, the blend of shooting and platforming mechanics, and creative details like missile redirection, though some players report frustration with the challenge level and concerns about abandoned development. Most players who enjoy arcade-style shooters feel it's worth purchasing, particularly during sales.
[h1] Control armed vehicle across factory like levels set in space presumably. Action is decent like in Sega games, controls smooth and enjoyable. Challenging boss fights and general mayhem! At your disposal many cool weapons but what's the most important, story that is engaging. Play it but keep in mind your thumbs are gonna get sore so replace them with new ones.

As soon as you play this game you can tell how much passion was behind it. The game is more polished than I expected, it has great voice acting and great characterization for the guy inside the robot/ship you drive (reminiscent of the dwarves in Deep Rock Galactic), the switching between shoot 'em up and platformer is really cool and smooth within levels as opposed to having levels of each type, the controls are really satisfying, the little details like being able to redirect missiles by shooting at them, the inclusion of a hacking mechanic, this game might be my favorite twinstick shooter now. Absolute 10/10 for concept and for execution, and the game can be found super cheap on sale, though it is worth the full price.
