[H1] ABOUT RISK OF RAIN 2 Escape a chaotic alien planet by fighting through hordes of frenzied monsters – with your friends, or on your own. Combine loot in surprising ways and master each character until you become the havoc you feared upon your first crash landing. [H1] SURVIVE AN ALIEN PLANET Over a dozen handcrafted locales await, each packed with challenging monsters and enormous bosses that oppose your continued existence. Fight your way to the final boss and escape or continue your run indefinitely to see just how long you can survive. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game. [H1] UNLOCK NEW WAYS TO PLAY Unlock a crew of ten playable survivors, each with their own unique combat style and alternate skills to master. Learn the secrets of the Artifacts to toggle gameplay modifiers like friendly fire, random survivor spawns, item selection and more. With randomized stages, enemies, and items, no run will ever be the same. [H1] DISCOVER POWERFUL NEW ITEMS More than 110 items keep each run fresh and full of new challenge. The more items you collect, the more their effects combine, the more surprising some of those combinations might be. The more items you encounter, the more lore (and strategy) you’ll discover through the logs. [H1] PLAY SOLO OR CO-OP Tackle the adventure solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, or compete in the rotating challenge of the Prismatic Trials. Brand new survivors like the Captain and MUL-T join classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and–of course–the Commando.

Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Arts, Culture & Entertainment BS: Risk of Rain (riskofrain.com)
This is a rare example of a ‘Zero-BS’ product site that relies entirely on substance to convert visitors. By avoiding industry jargon and marketing abstractions, the site presents a high-density technical summary of the product’s value. Its only failings are technical SEO and structured data implementation, rather than content integrity.
Implement Game or SoftwareApplication JSON-LD schema to provide search engines with structured proof of the brand and product details. Correct the heading hierarchy by changing sections like ‘KEY FEATURES’ and ‘MEDIA’ from H1 to H2 tags to improve technical credibility. Add a ‘Patch Notes’ or ‘Latest Updates’ section with specific dates to maintain the 2026 copyright relevance. Ensure the ‘review_count’ links to an external third-party platform like Steam or Metacritic to move from internal data to external proof.
The site fits the Entertainment category perfectly as it represents a digital interactive product. The content focuses exclusively on the mechanics, features, and lore of the video game Risk of Rain 2, aligning with high-engagement entertainment standards.
“The score of 6 is primarily driven by technical identity gaps (Pillar 5) rather than content bullshit. The site received 5 points in Identity and Authority due to the total absence of schema and a broken heading hierarchy. A single point was added in Information Density for minor concept repetition, while all other pillars scored zero BS.”
