Remnant has great gameplay and mechanics, discovering new secrets in the world is fun and intriguing, even with the lackluster opening presentation. From post apocalypse cities, to deserts, swamps, jungles, the enviroments are very good. Lip sync in the game is not perfect but the voice acting is very good. With the randomized campaign system as soon as you finish yout first run, u will start another one, because its going to be a diferente experience, diferente bosses, diferent secrets. From the amount of secrets, 3 leve dificulties, if a player wants to see everything i think he needs to play the game at least 3 times, each time being diferent then the previous one. For its price tag this can easily become a 300hrs of content game. ive had a amazing experience both Solo and Coop so far, coop is harder but is very worth it because the rewards a insenely better. If u like souls-like game and want a change of pace, get this game.… Expand

   Remnant: From the Ashes is a souls like games but has an emphasis on weapons and guns. Personally I really like this game and is the firstRemnant: From the Ashes is a souls like games but has an emphasis on weapons and guns. Personally I really like this game and is the first game I've really gotten into in a long time. The loot progression system is very satisfying and rewarding when you beat a new boss and craft new weapons yet also grinding for these weapons doesn't feel like a chore due to the way the story is set out to keep the player interested. One of my favourite features of the game is the way in which the co-op story is set out. Each player has a procedurally generated campaign so when restarting the game with friends it feels familiar yet fresh due to chances of fighting new bosses you had yet to discover. What separates this game from other souls like games such as Sekiro and Dark Souls is the fact that really is no punishment for dying other than having to restart from the generously placed checkpoints. However does not make the game easy but instead encourages a more aggressive play style resulting in a fresh game-style that feel more enjoyable than having to navigate the game cautiously. The art style of the monsters are very creatively designed and the game itself feels very well optimised. The only real cons I've discovered whilst playing through this game are occasional glitches whilst fighting enemies and picking up items as well as the facial design being quite desynced during some cutscenes however the smooth mechanics and satisfying controls makes up for some occasional graphics glitches. Overall I highly recommend this game for people looking to have some fun with friends and grind together.… Expand

   This game really surprised me!
   
   There were not much ads for this game and pretty much no hype at all, but after playing for 6 hours straightThis game really surprised me!
   
   There were not much ads for this game and pretty much no hype at all, but after playing for 6 hours straight I can say that this is a solid Dark Souls like game ... but with guns.
   The game starts really boring. In the first hour or so the game is completly linear and throws the same enemys at you, over and over again. However ... after about 2 hours the game starts to get way more open and you will find yourself on Darksiders like maps. Linear but not completly narrow.
   There are a lot of different enemys and you can protect yourself angainst them with help of the most detailed stat system I have seen in quiet some time. Everything you upgrade or modify, changes the stats of your equipment.
   
   The story so far looks really interesting and way less complicated than the Dark Souls storyline. I wont spoiler anything here tho. The characters and bosses are not boring npcs and u can tell that some time and work had been put into them.
   
   In terms of actual gunplay the game feels good and you can choose between various weapon types. The game rewards you for exploring and you can try out different builds.
   
   What I dont like or what i dont understand is, why exactly does the main character have a voice if he never talks except for some grunts here and there. You can select different dialog options but there is no voice what so ever.
   From a technical standpoint it seems like the game has some issues in some areas because Im running a 1080 Ti on 1080p and the game drops to 70-80 frames because of low gpu usage. That is rarely the case but i feel like i have to mention that. Most of the time it runs smooth as butter. In terms of graphics, the game is not on a next level or anything but the graphics are nice and appropriate for what it is. I couldnt test the coop tho.
   
   So in conclusion: I think this game is a better game for 40 bucks than the last 10 games i played at 60. I dont think they had a huge budget and what they did with that is pretty awesome. If you are looking for a Dark Souls like game with shooter elements ... this is it and i can recommend it. It is a solid shooter with RPG elements and I cant wait to finish it.
   
   EDIT: So i finished the game and i just need to take the rating from 8 to 7 or even lower. All the story and characters they build up are completly irrelevant due to the short ending. You think there is so much more coming but no ... theres your endboss and there are your credits. The NPC dont say anything and basically nothing happens after the enboss. What a shame… Expand

   It's a no for me, it's a 40€ game who looks like a 20€ game,
