    That said, Remnant does a lot so that it is not simply "Dark Souls with guns".

    The randomized maps and dungeons means that you'll want to play through the campaign again and again, hoping to get the different dungeons that provide different loot (weapons and spells). It's an interesting design, and one that lends itself well to the gameplay.

    Music is okay - nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Sound effects are okay. Graphics are okay. World design is okay. Story is bad, but does not get in the way too often. But these things are forgivable because the gameplay is very good. Shooting your guns feel good, casting your spells feels good. Running, looting, and shooting in the dungeons feels good. Exploring the world and clearing the map both feel good. There is a decent variety of guns that all handle and feel differently; the same can be said of the spells. The bosses are decently varied. They all look distinct, and some bosses do feel unique.

    My main complaint is that there is no threat indicator for enemies attack you from off-screen. In God of War 4, there is a ring with an arrow indicating that someone you cannot see is attacking you from your flank or behind. Remnant desperately needs this kind of indicator system to reduce the amount of deaths that feel very cheap. To the devs' credit, the game sound in this game is strangely great; the sound of enemy attacks clearly delineate their wind-up, followed by the actual attack. All they need to do is apply a threat indicator, and this game will be even more fun to play.

    For the most part, the game is solo-able, if you'd like to fight and explore at your own pace...but because of the nature of the game (hordes of ranged enemies attacking from all directions, infinite minions during boss fights...), there are some encounters where you really need help. I can understand that this game is difficult to balance for both singleplayer AND multiplayer, so I'm willing to forgive the devs for this, because their game is so fun at a fundamental level.

    If they continue to patch, balance, and add content to this game, I could easily see myself coming back to it to farm for the new loot. A very good game. Buy it now, since it's so cheap. Or maybe jump in when it's on sale, if you're not sure. If you like third-person shooters, this is for you. The devs did a good job. I wish them more success.    … Expand

    Mon coup de coeur de l'été 2019 . Un jeu comme je les aiment avec une difficulté hors norme . Clairement pas pour tous . Un jeu qui me rappel un peu les '' Hunters : The Reckoning et Hellgate London '' . Un peu d'element tirer de Darksouls , comme les feux , brume avant boss etc .

    Point positif: - Tres bonne optimisation , tourne comme un charme sur ma configuration Intel 9900k /    Mon coup de coeur de l'été 2019 . Un jeu comme je les aiment avec une difficulté hors norme . Clairement pas pour tous . Un jeu qui me rappel un peu les '' Hunters : The Reckoning et Hellgate London '' . Un peu d'element tirer de Darksouls , comme les feux , brume avant boss etc .

    Point positif:

    - Tres bonne optimisation , tourne comme un charme sur ma configuration Intel 9900k / Asus Strix 1080 / Ecran 2k 1440p 165 hz 1ms. Je me tien dans les 90-100 fps.

    - Très gratifiant . Certain boss vont vous demander beaucoup de patience :) mais par la suite vous serez très fier de vous de l'avoir tuer ! Un sentiment que je recherche beaucoup dans les jeux .

    - Un des meilleurs jeux COOP que j'ai joué depuis Left 4 dead . Loin devant Vermintide et les autres similis jeux du genre.

    - Tres bonne rejouabilité car il est possible de refaire le jeu plus d'une fois sous différente difficulté . Le jeu offre des maps asser aléatoire et les boss change d'une partie a l'autre .

    Maintenant les points un peu plus negatif

    - Le manque de chat in game. Que ce soit vocal ou en chat . Totalement inexistant . Ont auraient apprécié pouvoir parler avec les joueurs.

    - Il manque un peu d'armement et d'armure . Je ne sais pas si il y aurait des patchs prochainement pour en ajouter mais cela serait un gros + .

    - Certain boss sont vraiment chiant :) '' Vous comprendrez quand vous jouerez ! :) ''

    - Premiere zone un peu vide comparativement aux 3 autres .

    - Cinematique et graphique qui aurait pu etre plus beau en 2019

    Donc en general ce jeu est excellent mais comme je le disais plus haut , il n'est clairement pas pour tout le monde . Si vous cherchez le gros blockbuster avec les gros graphique de fou . Ce n'est clairement pas un jeu pour vous . Meme si vous ne n'aimez pas les challenges . Passez votre chemin . Pour les autres qui sont a la recherche d''un ♥♥♥ jeu '' pepite , under radar '' sauter la dessu ! :)

    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

    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

The controls are clunky, I find myself getting stuck in lengthy melee animations when I’m trying to shoot, the consumables and health items take just a half second too long to ever be viable, and the roll/mantle/sprint is just obtuse. The game randomly generates a campaign for you which is really really cool, but results in some downright broken boss fights. The matchmaking hardly works unless you choose to play with a friend. I was relying on public matchmaking, but no one has ever joined my session, nor is there a way to summon a partner like there is in Dark Souls, Nioh, etc. You truly just have to get lucky. I wanted to like this game so bad but it’s the least fun video game I’ve played in recent memory. Unbelievably disappointing.… Expand

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

    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 doesn't really bring anything new to the table but it's fun and gets even better if you have a friend or two. The gameplay is very soulsborne like but with guns. Melee is kind of clunky but useful in certain situations. You will be more focused on shooting and dodging in most cases but you can time stun locks and get out of deadly situations if you use it correctly.

    The game isn't the most graphically intensive but the environments look decent and vary from the different worlds you'll end up visiting. Earth is probably the most dull looking but this is the apocalypse after all. The game def shows its lack of budget so a lot of the areas are copy and paste but it works and you'll be more focused on combat and finding items along the way, so unless you're the type of person that feels it necessary to screenshot everything, you shouldn't be too disappointed.

    Gameplay is pretty standard. Normal third person controls minus the chest high wall GOW cover system (you can still get behind cover while crouched and aim to shoot over it). Melee exists but you will only use it in certain situations. There are various weapons from pistols to sniper rifles. Some are really fun to use and others are very meh but they all have a use depending on what you're able to find in your runs. Bosses are hit and miss. Some are well designed and others make you wonder if they were just tacked on to pad game time. One of the biggest complaints right now among the community are the adds that spawn in boss fights. That one is very subjective, however. Some people don't mind it and others hate it. My opinion is that since we have guns, if you didn't have adds attacking you then you would just hunker down in one spot and shoot the boss to oblivion.

    Replay value is definitely a thing for this game. You will not find every single item in one run. You won't fight every boss in one run. There are a lot of secrets to find and solve but you can only do so if you do multiple runs or co-op a lot. It keeps everything fresh and you always have something new to find for at least 2-3 runs. There are 3 difficulties as of writing and they each bring their own challenges to your play style.

    Overall, the game is fun. At its price tag, I'd call it a steal for the hours you'll have by yourself or with friends. The game has its faults and I think it's mainly due to budget. The devs worked with what they had and they have promised to support the game regardless of review scores or sales. I believe we'll have more content in the future and for now, I'm thankful we don't have a micro transaction riddled mess that only wants you to pony up for season passes, expansion passes, cosmetics and convenience crap. The game isn't for everyone but there is a huge community at the moment and you won't struggle to find people to play with.    … Expand

While you pick a base class you can mold your character to play like, have the same armor, and weapons as the other classes. So you don't have to feel like you need to start over if the weapons don't fit your play style right away. Now I will get into the positives and negatives of the game and try to make it short and simple.

    Note I will be leaving positives and negatives with the viewpoint of only having played in a three man group.

    Positives:

    +COOP Gameplay
    *I would strongly recommend playing this game with friends and other people to play with. Makes the game funner and a bit more faster paced with more people.

    +Environments
    *The environments and settings in this game are second to none and I find nothing but intrigue to the worlds they currently have built and the worlds they will have in the future.

    +Boss Fights
    *The boss fights in this game take me back to my old World of Warcraft days of initially wiping and getting a little further each time figuring out the boss fights. Some bosses you will naturally one shot others you may wipe for 30-45 mins before you get that one good run.

    +Passive Traits
    *While there isn't leveling you do earn passives trait points by getting xp from killing bosses, completing quests, and killing monsters. All characters start out with the same basic traits. Others are unlocked by doing certain things in game or killing bosses and you can place your points wherever you please.

    +Dynamic Randomly Generated Worlds/Bosses
    -You have the ability once you have played through to re-roll your campaign and play on a harder difficulty and in doing this you may or may not get different bosses on your play through to earn different drops. While the environment much looks the same the map layouts can completely change as well.

    Negatives:

    -Dodging Mechanics
    *The controls did take some time for me to get used to at first on PC. While not bad I would say that the dodging system can be frustrating sometimes. It does work both ways as well. There have been times where I have dodge boss attacks 3 or 4 times in row and dodged at what appears to be the exact same timing but gotten hit. While I do attribute this to user error on my part sometimes I do feel it can look and be inconsistent. Then there are times where I have dodge right into a boss attack but don't get hit due to the dodge having an invulnerability window. Think of that which you will and make your own judgement.

    -Characters In The Story
    *Many of the characters(NPCs) you meet in the game have no story arc whatsoever and have no use.

    -No Clear Roadmap From Developers
    *I have looked online as to what the future of this game holds because there is limitless potential to what they may/can do. 6 player raids, PvP, more Story DLC are all things I would like to see in this game. Unfortunately on their forums and reddit there seems to be no roadmap to let players know what's in store for the future.    … Expand

(Taking you with your pants down as they can sometimes kill you in one attack, take half your total ammo to kill while you are busy with 4 or 6 annoying buggers and an exploding blob)

    Speaking of "big" monsters some are just impossible to kill if you play solo and you don't have an obstacle to give you a chance to hit their back. (I'm looking at you shielded dual-sword rabbit)

    The inexcusable problem is that bosses are absolutely lame, it's where the "Souls" comparison stops. In Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro bosses are hard but interesting and fun. They have a personality. (I've finished them all)
    In this game bosses are just based on swarming you with infinite respawning waves of critters while the "real boss" kills you as soon as you are finally "stuck".
    It's not a challenge, it's just ridiculous.
    My first boss was an archer that shot arrows that would kill me with one hit or a rain of arrow from some above dimensional portal that would follow me.
    Said boss would of course teleport on me, killing me,
    or at some point the swarm would spawn in front of me while I was dodging an attack, killing me,
    or i would simply end up blocked for half a second, doing melee with my guns needing a reload and be killed by any of the attack of the boss.
    And of course the "dodge" doesn't work : given the long duration of the attack I ended up being killed at the end of the roll animation.
    Thinking about it, the layout of the boss room may also have been randomly generated and part of the problem (it's literally a kill-room against a ranged, teleporting, buffed critter)
    I've farmed, buffed, and equipped (it's not my first rodeo). After trying many times never managing to get the guy below 50% I gave up : I was not fighting a Souls boss, I was swatting at a bunch of deadly mosquitoes. Without the artificial difficulty of the swarm, the "boss" would have been toasted at the first or second try.
    Of course given the of random generation, your mileage may vary : other players had different bosses.

    One fact is clear : this uninspired game is about luck and group.

    The suprise of 2019 for me. Remnant has great gameplay and mechanics, discovering new secrets in the world is fun and intriguing, even with the lackluster opening presentation.

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

    This game is really nice and funny. It's a kind of mix between Darks Souls and Fallout. It's not a AAA game, but it's a worth buy.

    I don't like soulslike games, but i can't stop playing this one :| Great loot mechanic + many different perks and prettygood shooter mechanic makes this game ao good for me. Oh and random generated locations and boss batles are also well done.

The sound is amazing - you hear the Brass tink of loading each bullet and what's really cool is you don't have to load the whole gun before you can fire. You can load 2 bullets and fire if that's what you want. You also don't have to switch weapons to pull down a rifle and go melee. They have progressed the genre a lot. I have died so many times but I just want to get back into it and do it all again. This is worth buying, and it's at a cheaper price than it needed to be.    … Expand

    Loving this game so far. To me it feels like a mix of Souls, Destiny and Phantasy Star Online with a subtle Fortnite style to the graphics. Graphics could be better, but the gameplay is a lot of fun. Excellent co-op looter shooter.

    Alright first of all, careful with some of the reviews by websites youre gonna get the typical “why do i jave to git gud” type of review.

    The Good:
    - The game is fun, way better in co-op.
    - The gameplay is somewhat responsive.
    - Very cool incentive for exploration as hidden weapons and new traits to level up.
    - Bosses, Npc’s and some encounters are generated for each campaign, that means that when you join your friends you might get different stuff each time.
    ( some bosses might repeat but with modifiers on them making them tougher)
    - The lore is pretty ok, feels like a mix between Lovecrafts mythos and Stephen Kings Dark Tower.
    - Voice Acting is pretty alright.

    The Bad:
    - Some glitches make the game tougher than it should be sometimes, like the revive mechanic.
    - No voice comms on PC (theres voice comms in ps4 for some reason)
    - Sometimes the game froze on me for no reason (this might be my computer)


    There, i made an account just to comment on this game. I love it, hopefully you might enjoy it as well.

    And yeah its basically a looter shooter with some soulslike mechanicas in it, you might say theres a bit of roguelite aspects in it too.

    Also, you dont lose anything by dying, so its not as punishing as souls games.    … Expand

    I ended up using a trainer to kill the last boss because it kept bugging (known issue) and it was pissing me off, not how I wanted to finish the game but it is what it is. I also used it on The Reanimator as it was clearly broken for solo players. The lead dev has confirmed both these bosses will be fixed which really makes me wish I had waited to play the game.

I also used it on The Reanimator as it was clearly broken for solo players. The lead dev has confirmed both these bosses will be fixed which really makes me wish I had waited to play the game. I would wait until that patch hits before starting.

    I finished the game on normal in about 13 hours and overall I enjoyed it, apart from the two bosses I mentioned above I felt the difficulty was spot on for normal, a decent challenge without being overly frustrating (I'm sure hard offers that for those who enjoy it). That being said I didn't really enjoy the boss fights that much, I'm definitely in the add hater camp, I would have preferred more Souls-like bosses, where it's you vs the boss, without annoying adds staggering you. You could put ammo in creates, urns etc in the boss room, or just on the floor ala Resident Evil.

    I really enjoyed the trait variety, this actually felt a step up from Souls, they offered a great number of traits so build diversity was solid. I was also satisfied with the array of ranged weapons, although melee definitely felt like an afterthought. I would have liked to have seen more armour sets though, the fashion aspect was definitely lacking.

    Technically the game ran well for the most part, I played it on GTX 1080 & 8600k @ 4.4GHz and I was sitting at 80-144fps most of the time on medium at 1080p, I will say the Swamp area was a problem though, lots of drops and an overall choppiness, it really stood out. The audio was good, I found the voice acting fantastic (lip syncing seemed off, though). Visually the game was interesting, I really liked the art style and the mob design was great.

    Overall I'd give the game a solid 8/10 once the boss fights are fixed.    … Expand

    Remnant: from the Ashes is a well executed game that doesn't break new ground but instead reformulates the best of souls like game play with a focus on ranged combat and competent melee combat.

The story and lore in the game is well written with decent voice acting and a lot buried in files and diaries. Like From Software, you can choose to engage in the story and go deep or you can just float over the surface and get the general gist. The art sets a bleak tone which suits its post apocalyptic setting and the character models are decent with some character customization. Since it is third person over-the shoulder, the character customization is not all that meaningful.

    The strongest part of Remnant is the game play in coop. It has the best of Gears (of War) and Dark Souls with tough situations. Some of the boss fights, in my opinion, need tuning, particularly for solo play. Playing solo requires one to be mostly perfect on normal, near perfect on hard and unerringly perfect on nightmare (on first play through) and the bar lowers significantly when playing in coop. It is obvious that the game is better tuned for two and three player groups than it is for solo play.

    The random generation encourages additional playthroughs, especially since playing through once you will not have all the story elements or see all of the enemies, layouts, loot and bosses. Each players world is unique due to the variability of the game through a large amount of content and the use of random generation. It also encourages group play so one can see different zones and bosses and different layouts. The game also encourages and rewards exploration with hidden, meaningful secrets and loot.

    For a $40 game with additional free content to be added in the future it is one of the best priced games available and well worth the price. Hopefully the gunplay used in Remnant will find its way into the upcoming Darksiders 4 with Strife's focus on guns - in my opinion it would be a perfect fit.    … Expand

    Great game. Highly recommended.
    It's a mix of Dark Souls + Darksiders with guns, as well as Division 2 and Diablo 3.
    Awesome gameplay and maps. Only expect it to bring you a tough challenge. It's more difficult than Dark Souls imo, except you coop. I find the coop Scaling interesting as well. Awesome. Buy it!

    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.
