I don't like this new Rift
Most of these cosmetics are very unappealing. It's all tacky leather rave club outfits or borderline fetish gear that just looks dumb on the characters. Even the recolors aren't interesting because it's all an ugly purple and black. I don't even understand what the theme and aesthetic is supposed to be. I won't spend my Auric Cells on this unless I reach the end of the track to guarantee a full return on them. Even if that happens, I don't see myself using any of these often, if at all.
The nicest thing I can say is that at least finally the Deep Rift isn't blue, but I really wish that decision had been made in an earlier Tome that had clothes I liked.

I love it. First really aggressive and brutal rift with common aesthetic. I really get tired from boring and not even close to scary skins in this HORROR game, so I glad to see this rift. I definately will use some parts of skins.

Honestly, I think this Rift is good.
You get a total of 21 skins (22680 Auric Cells worth of skins) for 1000 Auric Cells which is an amazing value.
The skins themselves are mostly alright, but I am honestly glad BHVR is experimenting and trying new ideas for cosmetics. Im tired of solely getting over the top and flashy cosmetics that make you glow like a lightbulb from across the map, and this is different enough to really break the mold.
Also BHVR is learning that more colors than blue exist for the Deep Rift. We got red now, and who knows, maybe next we will have yellow so we have all Primary Colors completed. :D

I guess this rift is inspired by Hellraiser/Pinhead and the idea of pain, which fits with the titel of the rift, Anguish. Every cosmetic has a rather dark touch and dark colours to refect the dark feelings. It could also be the case that this rift is inspired by the lust (one of the seven deadly sins) since some cosmetics goes in this direction and we also have a little plush handcuffs charm and we all know where and when to use it. Maybe it is a mix of both, lust and pain.
I personally like the new rift and the cosmetics. The cosmetics for both sides look amazing and feel more unique. I am happy that the developers keep improving the rift but also are more brave in terms of cosmetics. Yes, not everyone likes it (we had similar feedback on the Mystic one), but there are people out there who like it. My issue is that I only play Knight and Plague, which means these are the only interesting skins for me but I am happy for everyone who enjoys these new cosmetics and the charms, banners, and badges look great too. It is nice that the developers put a snake themed charm, banner, and badge into the rift to celebrate the lunar year in an additional way.

That Blight skin convinced me, I don't really like many of Blight's cosmetics, but this one reminds me of Nomak from Blade 2

I like the clothes from this Rift.
I think the leather, chains and general theme suits the atmosphere of the game. Crazy Killers and fetish gear combine perfectly. And such killers can be really scary, actually, it's horror.
I'm waiting for clothes for other characters in this theme.0
