    I generaly enjoy the game but I realy don't like the levels to be honest. They are pretty linear and you just have to go forward or choose left or right. Not much to explore like in the dark souls series (which is dissapointing for me). I like the gameplay and the movement feel realy smooth, the maps look well and nicely detailed.

    The story is mixed it's not that interesting so I mean don't get this game for the story. The bosses are interesting (most of them).
    I played the game in singleplayer and I enjoyed it and coop with friends makes it even better (even with random people since I don't have any mates to play with right know)
    Buy the game on a sale like for 30€ or even 25€ in my opinion it isn't a 40€ game.    … Expand

    This game was fairly boring. The story is simple but the world feels empty and lifeless. The gun fighting is unfair. It takes forever to reload. The enemies appears magically from everywhere, too often from behind. No auto targeting, no difficulty level. The mechanic is there. The upgrades are there but you barely feel them.

    ****PLAYED ONLY IN MULTIPLAYER****
    -very good game play and gun play
    Story: i did not care, but it is quite interesting and may be catchy for someone. If not, you can easily just skip it.
    I recommend hard difficulty. Not impossible, but challenging.
    Do not expect replayability, but in the end of the day it is still nice indie game and with friends you gonna enjoy good experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To preface, I'm writing this review because currently I believe due to a recent release this game is getting a lot more praise than it genuinely deserves. Personally while I found the game fun to play at least for one go through, I keep realizing more and more reasons why I am disliking it.

    Before getting into all the dislike I will say something positive to justify my rating, which is that the game is fun for the first play through, I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game for the gameplay alone and did have fun, which is why I give it a 5.

    However to get to the bad starts getting into both a bit of spoilers and also why I think this game will be forgetting by the end of the coming months (barring any dlc releases).

    First and foremost the game is short, and I don't mean like binge playing it through one whole day short, I'm talking a casual sit down with some comfort to the games dodging you can be done with this game in 2 - 3 hours easily. While that isn't necessarily bad as there are games that exist with both short run times and are truly great games (portal comes to mind). The problem with Remnant's run time is the game just seems to kind of end, there isn't much of a build up to this ending and after its done its just a bit unsatisfying. To circle back above I wouldn't say this is a gameplay issue and actually will go off of my second point which is.

    The story is bad and a discombobulated mess. A big sign of this is the game having a lot of its story tied up in little books and notes hidden around the game, rather than with the NPCs or even some story elements. What little bits you do get from the NPCs you speak to is often very vague or a character saying "I don't know". In the end if you're like me and didn't go hunting through every corner of the game for the books or note you're left utterly confused on why you're even suppose to care about the world around you.

    Stepping away from the story, as I could hit the character limit on the gripes of that alone, I'll instead focus on one small boss design decision that turns otherwise interesting and unique bosses into slogs, and that is the adds. To quickly add I want to say a lot of bosses in this game are fun (excluding the final for its own bullet point), and all have unique mechanics to make them different. The problem is some of the bosses would just be way too easy so the devs decided to add basic mobs to every fight in am event to up the difficulty. The problem is since they decided to do this to every boss in the game some bosses which are already technically challenging by themselves and just end up devolving into fights based on luck as opposed to skill and just shows a bad or lazy design to make the game more difficult.

    On this same topic but deserving of its own bullet point of bad bosses that comes to the final boss known as the Dreamer/Nightmare (spoilers ahead). At the end ofthe game you learn the root are control by a child that Ford had been working with and presumably infused with the root, this entire fight taking place in the characters mind, which is just a bland empty black and red room. The first phase of the fight is nothing special, dodging some easy attacks while you clean up adds and shoot a child in the face. The second half is by far the worst designed fight in the game, as the boss's health reaches zero he goes into phase 2 where he enters a moth like cage and proceeds to become undamagable. From this point the boss targets one player and fires the same attack over and over (an attack you can literally lazily walk left or right to dodge). After a few moments the boss picks a random player (or the main character if youre solo) and you get put in a realm of adds. After you kill those and go through a portal you're teleported back to the bland arena where you get a damage buff based on how many adds you killed in the other dark bland room, and at this point you can damage the bullet sponge of a boss, if youre lucky he'll fall out of his cage and youre able to deal more damage and hopefully after 10 minutes kill him. All and all this fight is just awful, it's both boring and easy (regardless of difficulty) and completely just ruins the otherwise faster paced rate of this game. With that all said I'll get to why I think this game falls so flat later on.

    The game feels rushed/lazily designed. Now based om what I've seen of the devs involvement in the community I am more inclined to believe the former, but with fights like the final boss it genuinely makes me wonder. I do think while this game started out as a great idea with much more too it that hasty publishing caused a lot of the execution to be botched. This is most evident in not just the final boss but the last half of the game (only 1 NPC talks about the death of the final boss in 2 lines and the rest just say their same old stuff).

    Since the character limit is coming up Ill cut off here. The game is fun, but don't expect replayability.    … Expand

    Worst thing about this game is checkpoint system, which is very inferior to one of souls games because I can't teleport to every checkpoint, only to few so I have to run trough same parts again even tho I didn't have fun there first time because this game is progressing too slow.

    How can I put it? It is a game that works, runs, and tells a story well but that isn’t exactly an achievement since it’s something developers must do regardless. The problem is that the story, the dialogue, and the world are once again a kind of derivative rehash of what we’ve seen in many games over decades. You pretty much do many errands for everyone.

    This isn’t a bad game for younger players who may not have seen these stories and rpgs before, but for anyone over 30 this, in my opinion, isn’t really something you’d want to put many hours into. The narrative doesn’t offer much novelty.    … Expand

    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 all right. Finished in under ten hours in co-op.

    Boring level design, rather bland bosses, no need to interact with any of the upgrade systems and whatnot. Pretty easy.

    It runs well, looks good, and even plays well. Unfortunately, the entire thing feels bland. The world, the enemies, the battles, the guns, the story all feel bland. It’s a technically proficient basic attempt at a souls like game with guns that has nothing worth experiencing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rant/Spoilers Below
    So i was thinking of this game as 6/10 and not felt like explaining why in a review, and this is a rant about why i give it 5/10 now. I've been playing offline so far though i can see some of the game decisions are tailored toward online and negatively affect offline and haven't lowered the score because of that unless it really could be done better. Few words about the game pre-rant: It's decent, completely unoriginal, it knows what it is, the story and character/npc progressions is almost non-existent beyond first hour but whatever budget was allocated for it was well spent and if you want to go and read some lore in an early, a little bit too easily missable (probably under you're forced to go there again somewhere at the end of the game ?) location that despite it being in written form it's really well delivered (and not all in one text). The game then embarks on a FPP dungeon grinder switching between open world and dungeons but really open world is an almost linear dungeon too. The game has apparently semi random-generated maps and what it means is that on each world you'll see the first 1/4 of the map and then see it rehashed another 3 times in a slightly randomized order of the segments as you experience the endless deja vu. Also every mandatory dungeon has a paired optional dungeon which despite having the map blocks slightly randomized feels like the exact same dungeon. Fortunalety as you realize there are more worlds the game stops feeling less like a lackluster alpha version and while the feeling of each world being a very pretty reskin of the last one there's enough added twists to the enemies and variety to the world map that if i were to name them all it would come apparent that there is enough change to make the game interesting and enjoyable, encouraging you to try different weapons that you unlock with every dungeon. Initially the weapon and armor choice is nonexistent and it feels really constraining, by the time you enter second world you have an small choice of weapons that you try to use and realize they are all "sidegrades" and quite pointless to use considering the steep price of upgrading them to +x so they are as good as your starter weapon, the added variety as the games progresses makes them a sidegrade system made quite well except... it kinda kills most of the feeling of achieving something and unlocking something cool. Overall a decent game to kill some time every other day and not much more, perhaps with some potential for co-op play. (and by that point i've accidentaly wrote almost a full, albeit a bit abridged, review).
    Rant Ahead:
    So i got to the butcher boss, at that point gameplay became less linear and more interesting with more ways to do something than one, tried shooting the guy from afar as he was red on reticle which started the "boss gate mist to enter arena" -> ok alt+f4 -> restarted, it's all reset i'm starting from the last saved checkpoint, great. So i snuck in, "maybe there can be a conversation option like with houndmaster?" nope.. so i found the bottom level of arena, nothing there to interact with just some pots to break for scraps, went back up "oh so it's like houndmaster where i can skip the boss by sneaking past, not the first or second boss you can just skip for whatever reason" so i tried sneaking past just to confirm my theory and then go and try to confront the boss. Well you can't skip it you have to fight. The bottom floor got locked out "Well maybe we drop there with boss half fight or maybe there's going to be something there afterwards but it feels like i've missed something". Killed the boss, went back down, started destroying urns for gems... sorry, for scrap, and then found out you can actually enter a few of them and hide in them. Problem is a) you can accidentaly (by attacking or just rolling) destroy them, there is no shiny aura like on most interactable things and there is a veeery faint "you can interact with it circle" that doesn't pop the interaction prompt unless you're standing from a certain side, certain distance and looking at a certain angle... "ok, so i havent save at a check point, and the game doesn't save without checkpoint or normal quit just like when i lost 2h of grinding pots and urns for scrap because of game's frequent crashes, right?" -> alt+f4 -> well, the game saved the progress.
    Great so what did i lose? Go figure you have to kill the boss one way or another you can just get a potentially better weapon. I've been looking to replace my starter hammer for 17h of gameplay, found skull flail at world two and found it a downgrade with a slight potential for online. Go figure the better weapon you get for hidding in the urn before the boss is a skull flail reskin with twice better stats.
    And now i have to replay the 17h of the game again with starter weapon (you can reset world without losing stuff but if you never got anything better.. ) or i can try handgesturing online randoms to be stealthy    … Expand

    Recorreremos escenarios con una buena variedad y detalle, pero quizás avanzado el juego, nos parezca que hay una cierta escasez de modelos de enemigos y que la generación aleatoria de los escenarios no ayuda a que la sensación de repetición aparezca y con ella las ganas de acabar el juego. Debido a esto le bajo un poco la nota, pero aún así es un juego recomendable y divertido, que gana enteros jugando en cooperativo.

But besides this, the whole game, anyway, constantly hints to you that it would be better if you play in a cooperative. And some really difficult and stuffy events, like endless enemies during the destruction of the Reanimators in Yaesha World, and in general the whole game-play and environment for example. I liked walking between the Worlds, creating stand-alone adventures... but the problem is that these adventures, along with the missed bosses and events, could be put into the main game story and not to make small zones from the Worlds from which a couple of intestines leave-corridors came in different sides. Looks like a walk-through the great closed halls, but not like a journey through the Worlds. And I generally did not like the situation with the fact that some bosses may or may not appear in their places. The second negative thing was that I periodically felt "crooked hit boxes" when the enemy got me hitting the air next to me, and when my bullets flew through the enemy(in situations of accurate hits, not "the ear hurt"). I also didn't like the abundance of save-points: the fact that there are save and/or transfer stones in important places at the entrances and near the bosses is very convenient and well done. It is possible, for example, not to save where it is not necessary. But the problem is that if you died, you can be resurrected not at a such stone, but at the moment of transition between zones, which is NOT! comfortable. The main interest of mine were bosses. They were great! Some not really interesting, some awful with their unfair difficulty in solo(), but the most(80%) were good or great. There were a lot of them and I returned to this game, by and large, for the sake of bosses, to find everyone who I could not meet in the main story. Thanks to the game for this. There was only one exception: The final boss of the main game. He wasn't hard or bad in general. He was awful as the final boss, as the character whom you must to defeat to end the story. For this, you need to buy DLC, because it makes this boss only a part of the walk-through, and the real final boss fight(in DLC) is better implemented... but he has it's own problem: Disney cliché with "the all-conquering power of love". Too childish for such a dark game.
    The main story itself and the DLC story were simple but somewhat interesting... Just OK.
    Crafting the different weapon from the different boss elements was a good idea. Healing heart, weapons and armor upgrades - too. But all this was very simplified implemented. On the second World(1/5 of the game), I didn't have to collect anything at all or pay attention to the ingredients. Only consumables like "elemental resistance". Accordingly, the loot was also not interesting too.    … Expand

    This game has a lot of ups and downs, with the peaking experience residing in co-op.
    The graphics are based on Unreal Engine and although they're decent, it doesn't bring out the full potential of UE. Visuals are generic and level design is horrible, with recycled maps giving no impulse to explore things whatsoever.

    As I played coop I didn't have the time to get into the story, but the premise seems to be all about defeating the evil monster hordes which threaten humanity, concept used in plenty of other titles.
    Armor aesthetics are awesome and their functionality lets you play with certain builds whenever you decide. Skill points, or so called "Trait" points are not intriguing, as they are just bunch of stats which you can level up, most of them being too weak to even take in consideration.
    Mechanics are the defining things of this game, somehow obscuring the other bad things of this product. It's a really nice blend of shooter and Souls series, with bosses which force you to use melee alongside the guns. Some fights are really exciting and difficult, especially if you play on Nightmare difficulty (recommended only after you finished the game at least once and decided what kind of playstyle you will have).
    In conclusion since it's not a triple A game, the game is pretty fun to play especially with your friends, unless you don't have PTSD from Dragon Age 2 and ignore the awful level design.    … Expand

    Great Gun-play , a lot of fun to be had with friends, a mediocre story. Leto's Lab is pretty cool , the adventure mode adds another layer to it, the new world with every gameplay gets a thumbs up, it's worth your time, definitely worth your money . Have a blast.

    Even though the enviroments and enemies are varied, all the levels feel very samey. The difficulty is very unbalanced: you breeze through all the levels and get stuck at bosses. Good for a few hours

    Actually I like this game, in the beginning I really had fun, but there are really annoying problems. I'll mention the biggest problems from my point of view. (played in co-op mode, probably I'm the only person with these problems but I'm a little bit disappointed)
    1. All dungeons in location look alike. I think it would better if locations were smaller, but with different dungeons.

    2. Game has a random generation in maps design, I wanted to check a walkthrough( it's not right, but I have to, because I couldn't find a right direction( because of point 1).
    3. Map in menu is useless, I couldn't put a mark or make it bigger.
    4. At some point I was very tired of mobs.
    5. Probably you won't meet some mini bosses, only in another walkthrough.
    6. Story is a "little bit" weak.
    I can recommend this game only if you have played all co-op games and want more. (BTW I didn't finish game, because I've stuck in the middle and try to find the right direction with my friend more than 2 hours.)    … Expand

    The levels are badly designed and uninspired, they don’t spark curiosity or desire to explore them – but you still have to, because new weapons and armor aren’t dropped by the enemies, they must be found in obscure spots scattered across the maps. [Issue#241, p.44]

    The combat is solid glue holding together a solid product, offering some fun cooperative shooting and a good amount of interesting items and weapons to build. Gunfire Games has already supported the game with two new modes and hopefully post-launch support will continue. While those who need a constant influx of new loot to parse through may find this game a bit on the slow side, those who are more familiar with games like Dark Souls may feel more at home here. The experience isn’t a perfect one, but there’s plenty to love in Remnant and excitement to be had in its future.

    By taking the best bits of a few different genres, Gunfire Games has come up with an exceptional formula here, and brought us the surprise hit of the year. Sure, it’ll take you a while to “git gud”, but it actually feels like it’s worth the practice.
