    The game is pretty interesting in my opinion. The story is interesting enough and the mechanics are easy to get a hold of, but I do have some problems with it.

    The enemies feel like NFTs from time to time, the "difficulty" is just throwing op enemies at your face and occasionally spawning a mini boss inside your a$$hole and online mode is broken unless you're the owner of the world,    The game is pretty interesting in my opinion.

    Would not recommend buying for full price tho, either wait for a fat discount or straight up pirate.    … Expand

    the game looks cheap in some moments and wants to seem serious (and it doesn't work out because of the cheapness of what is happening) transitions between locations are also annoying, but overall a good soul like p.s. sequel should be better

    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.

    Enjoyable, but nothing special.

    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

    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.

    Dark Souls with guns, but the story and characters are bland. The gameplay is quite fun, but the ads in the boss fights, while being necessary for the ranged gameplay (and them providing ammo) they take away from the quality of the actual boss. A solid souls-like that is distinctive enough to be on your list.

    Lost incentive to play after 25hrs once a character was fully geared. Competitive and often superior random generation mechanics to other major titles. But painfully short lived experience. Refinements to co-op and stability could have made it excellent

    Remnant is a game that follows Dark Souls    Disclaimer: I've tried playing Remnant solo and was left dissatisfied, dropping it. Then after some time, I was lucky to get a friend play it through with me, and saw a drastic difference. I consider the later to be the intended way to play and base my review on that experience, yet I do account for the solo one in the final score as well.

    Remnant is a game that follows Dark Souls formula somewhat loosely, but the general design outline is kept close to the obvious influence: gameplay is on the forefront, while lore, story and atmosphere try to be obscure and cryptic. I consider this type of games to rely heavily on the former, and Remnant realises that too. It comes through with confident and polished gunplay, tactically challenging encounters that mainly require you to focus on your positioning and timings, and to keep that up - engaging, if derivative, progression loop. All of that comes together even stronger when you count in all the different build synergies in co-op. My only gripe is that some encounters, especially bosses, might be a little to random - frustratingly so at hard difficulty.

    Levels are somewhat procedural, which makes them really linear, superficial and, ironically, not interesting to replay. Environments, on the other hand, are quite stylish, while not being that rich or detailed. Visuals are serviceable as well, some designs are quite striking, others - not so much. The same goes for music, that really begs to be more adaptive in boss fights, and sounds.

    The story and worldbuilding are kept relatively timid and mainly shown off in one non-hostile location near the very start of the game - in a form of blocks of text on some abandoned computers, of course. They also lack any sort of thematic direction, but seem relatively fresh to me.

    Remnant: From the Ashes is a horrible title, but a thought-out and well-built, lean gaming experience for you and a buddy or two, that'll keep you well invested while you're not trying to scrutinize it too much. Nowhere does it say that the game is also really boring on your own, so that knocks off a point to a 6 out of 10 in total.    … Expand

    Tipo Dark Souls? No. Que un juego sea difícil no lo convierte en un Dark Souls. Los Dark Souls son complicados, castigan en exceso los errores y no son para jugadores sin paciencia pero una vez que los dominas, son muy gratificantes y casi diría que sencillos excepto en zonas y combates puntuales. El primer NG+ suele ser un paseo en juegos como DS3 o Sekiro.

    Remnant plantea mecánicas    Tipo Dark Souls? No. Que un juego sea difícil no lo convierte en un Dark Souls. Los Dark Souls son complicados, castigan en exceso los errores y no son para jugadores sin paciencia pero una vez que los dominas, son muy gratificantes y casi diría que sencillos excepto en zonas y combates puntuales. El primer NG+ suele ser un paseo en juegos como DS3 o Sekiro.

    Remnant plantea mecánicas similares a las del DS, como que necesitas llegar a una "hoguera" para guardar el progreso y que los enemigos se regeneran cada vez que lo haces. Además cada fase incluye un jefe final bastante duro. Pero en remnant se plantean estas mecánicas desde el punto de vista de un shooter en tercera persona donde podemos alternar golpes cuerpo a cuerpo con las 2 armas de fuego que llevemos equipadas. Además podemos aprender habilidades o elegir que armadura o equipo llevamos.

    Cuando comencé a jugar Remnant las sensaciones que tuve fueron geniales. Sorprendentemente el gameplay era muy bueno y cuando me quise dar cuenta llevaba un par de hora seguidas jugándolo. El problema vino cuando me enfrenté al primer jefe (Creo que el juego crea una historia única para cada partida y los jefes que aparecen y el orden en que lo hacen varían entre partidas). En mi caso el boss en si no era complicado, un enemigo grande con un machete, esquivar, recuperar energía, administrar el cargador y atacar cuando sea seguro, nada nuevo en un videojuego. El problema comenzó cuando cada vez que causaba un 10% de daño al jefe aparecían 3 enemigos pequeños pero que aguantaban 3 o 4 disparos que corren hacia ti y explotan al estar cerca. 25 intentos más tarde seguía muriendo una y otra vez. La cámara me la jugaba haciendo que me bloqueara con un elemento del mapa o perdiendo de vista a los enemigos, o no me quedaba energía o balas en el cargador e intentara lo que intentara siempre moría de un sólo combo. Si trataba de golpear cuerpo a cuerpo a los enemigos pequeños cuando venían a por mí, explotaban, caía al suelo y el jefe me terminaba. Si empleaba la escopeta con estos enemigos, no me quedaban cartuchos para el jefe y el daño que causaban el resto de armas contra él era despreciable. Si corría para evitarlos, me quedaba sin energía y terminaba muriendo de una manera o de otra. Al final tras 30 intentos quedé convencido de que la única solución era jugar el juego en cooperativo, lo cual convertía la batalla en un paseo de dificultad absurda.

    Me encantan los juegos cooperativos mucho más que los competitivos pero "forzar" a un jugador a depender de ello arruina por completo la experiencia de juego de jugadores como yo, que hemos completado los Souls sin invocar un sólo fantasma amigo porque es como están concebidos.

    Si lo juegas con amigos tendrás entre tus manos un título divertido y que ofrece ser jugado muchas veces hasta completar y probar todas las opciones que ofrece pero si eres un jugador solitario te recomiendo que ni lo intentes o terminaras frustrado y enfadado porque llegado el punto en que te frustras habrás consumido las horas del periodo de prueba y tendrás un título que no podrás jugar hasta que convenzas a un amigo de que se una a jugar contigo.

    Gráficamente el juego es bonito y sus mecánica, aunque no tan pulidas como en Sekiro, por ejemplo, funcionan bastante fluidas y bien en general.

    Otro juego que podría haber sido una nota mucho más alta pero si hablamos de la experiencia de un jugador, es una ruina.    … Expand

    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

    Free drop on Epic Store. Game has a whole low rent vibe to it. Local looked dull and uninspiring. Graphics look generally dated (PS3/360). This game is a mish mash of gameplay and visual styles all done previously better. Games that popped in my head when playing this was Hellgate London, Gears, Dark Souls. Seen this all done before and a lot better, meh.

    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 bosses are boring and cheap, they're all normal enemy types with buffed stats and one special attack. What makes them even worse is the fact that they all have normal enemies on the side which was always an issue with Dark Souls type combat - many enemies at once is more frustrating than a fair challenge.

    The areas are generic, the story and characters are insufferable, and the progression is your usual AAA incremental stat increases.

    It might be decent fun with friends if you're thirsty for Dark Souls type combat, but otherwise I'd avoid wasting your time with this.    … Expand

To begin with, the game is extremely easy, the game was compared to Dark Souls but i often died 3 times maximum on bosses and mobs never posed a threat in hard difficulty. This is just one factor, a game should not be judged only by its difficult by any means, but my god, does the boss design in this game sucks, the "harder ones" create that false sensation because they are either bullet sponges or spawns millions of minions. Other than difficulty, story sucks; and when it comes to atmosphere i like the lovecraftian style but it is often so overwhelming with a lot of aspects, from medieval fantasy to science fiction, this by itself became kindda cringy halfway through the game because it seemed like the writers tried to shove as much elements as possible in a single game. The game is buggy as hell, havent had a game breaking one that kept me from playing; but often i died when changing plataforms, teleporting, and doing other common stuff. The game doesnt stimulates the player to explore, because often when you do explore, you find bad loot and bad enemies overall. I have to say the concept of a "soulslike shooter" seemed aewsome at first, the execution of the game is terrible though, i played from beginning to end expecting something halfway or in the end, but the gameplay is repetitive, i would call it a sin to call this game an dark souls something because it fails in good exploration, progression, world building, boss design and fun factor overall, this coming from a guy that is not a big fan o Dark Souls but acknowledges the game's influency and development.… Expand

    This is a game that has some really good points and probably the biggest issue is that they didn't finish polishing things before going on to making DLC and so on.

I think the challenge level was alright. Graphics were good but sometimes just boring (wow walking tree enemies called "The Root"). Sound effects were great, I liked hearing monster growls showing they were near.

    Control scheme I hated. The first problem was many controls could "lock", meaning pressing them no longer does anything, many times I would press the fire button and nothing happened, and I would even be rapidly pressing it for a second and still nada. No not stunned or out of ammo. Lets say that problem didn't exist, well the controls still sucked. All the weapons I used you need to click once to fire once, so you rapid press fire. And you have to press and hold aim to fire, otherwise its a melee attack. Did I have a use for melee attacks past the early part of the game? No, many bosses and such can't even be hit with it. Point is you should just be able to fire without holding aim and you should be able to hold to fire not rapid click, which caused a weird uneven rate of fire. And there are many weapons I didn't feel like I had much choice, long range accurate ones were best always.

    I felt builds and stats were badly set up, upgrades system wasn't good, special abilities (attached to your guns) were unimpressive, the gameplay loop was mostly about shooting accurately and healing, they should have made special abilities have a broader scope and have their own keys.

    It was a fun enough game to play through and finish. People have said the bosses just spawn adds and you just have to slog through and hope you kill things fast enough to widdle down the boss. While this is true some bosses were interesting enough, they feel very hard until you beat them. The boss that would summon goblin-ish riders was cute, though I found a cheese for it. You could strategize and learn boss patterns, but things are pretty random sometimes.

    The story was super unclear to me and really needed more work. I guess I have to keep in mind it's just a video game premise that sets up excuses to visit different worlds, fight many things, and have some final boss to end it all (and go to DLC land). Sometimes there was an interesting character or something that had it's own voice acting and personality and such, but you would see them for a minute and then never again, I feel the priorities weren't in order. It also felt like you went from world to world killing whatever was there with little explanation, and you'd be like who were those people I killed what was their backstory, oh never mind here's a bunch of totally different stuff.

    So, 4/10 I feel like that's a weird rating for something I felt was generally fun but I believe I have explained the reasons in this review. Ciao gamers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game for free on EpicStore, and it was a good thing, because I was about to spend money on it on Steam.
    Postapocalyptic shooter. We posess tech to open portals to other worlds. Scavenge, carve a foothold, rebuild.

    Nice premise, right?

    As Robert Rath once wrote, "You have to earn your apocalypse".

    Quote:

    "The key to a good apocalypse lies in what happens before things fall apart. There's narrative groundwork to be done. Building up before you break down. Developers need to give the audience a sense of the world and its characters. A good End Times game lets us know what's at stake. It shows us why this world deserves to be broken, and why it deserves to be fixed.

    Apocalypse stories exist in a paradox - they show us a world that deserves to be destroyed, but deserves equally to be saved. They're wish fulfillment. "

    Now Remnant. You are some guy/girl/notimportant, they are bland cutouts anyway, who gets on a boat and sails somewhere to prevent something from something, because something bad is going to happen.

    OK. Apocalypse happened. There is no explanation WHAT exactly happened. Who are you; why you survived and others didn't; where this is happening... nothing is ever completely explained.
    Let me spoil it for you. Apocalypse happened because some guy talked to some entity which we never see and used his position to allow this entity and its friends to come to Earth. Billions of people on the planet never had any say in this. One guys screwed up, boom, everybody dead.

    What do we fight for? There is no humanity left to speak of, none that we can see, apart from less than 20 guys and girls in a bunker somewhere. We're screwed anyway? Never explained.
    Who are those people? There is at least some backstory about two to three main NPCs... which tells most of what we will know about the world, and yet manages to leave those characters completely forgettable. They don't actually do anything anyway, not even provide some exposition for world's sake...

    Did the world deserve to be broken and remade, like in, say, Fallout? Nope, it was not even Russkies invading or China launching nukes because the world was rife with unsolvable differences. Americans screwed up, OK, thanks, that's new, but it's not even Americans, it was, like I said, one guy. The world was doing FINE. OK, Cold War was going on somewhere in the backdrop (it's briefly mentioned in a DLC), and that's it.

    Does it deserve to be fixed? Don't know, it's a soulless procedurally generated world of gray, gray and more brown, everything is broken and there is no one left.
    The monster areas can be compared to, say, Hellgate London (hell monsters invade, but humanity has a plan), but you can see some semblance of life in quest hubs. Here there is none, everybody is some form of broken, and most people in the single hub where everybody does not shoot you on sight don't even speak.
    Heck, you can choose you character's voice, but he's on mute most of the time. Except when he (or she, really no difference) is afraid, so no roleplaying a grim and gruff survivor.

    Other worlds are somewhat explained in scattered notes, and whatever, everyone there is out to kill you anyway. When you come across someone who does not, they seem out of place. Like, what the heck, person, I just committed mass murder just to get to you (they attacked first!) and you speak as if you never had any murderous intentions. Are you even from around here?

    There are no stakes in the game. Nothing you do affects the outcome, which is... credits. You never actually make any noticeable impact on any world - NPCs don't react differently, scenery does not change, nothing. Apparently, developers forgot to buy cutscenes andor cinematics.
    Kill a guardian and ensure the world's doom? No changes anywhere. Support a brainwashing cult? Nothing. Kill a towering behemoth that was godzilling down cities? Ok, THAT gets you at leas some form of reaction. That's it, this is the single time in the whole game (+2 DLCs) when you feel you are making an impact.

    The game is ridiculously darksoul-ish. Forget being Sir Lancelot of Albion, step into the comfortable shoes of Sir Die-a-lot out of nowhere.

    The game is engaging enough to keep your monotonous grind through lifeless levels with no character in search of at least a sliver of a story.

    DO NOT REPEAT MY MISTAKE. There is none. What little is there can be read in a wiki.

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.

(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.

    Seriously, this game is some trash once you get past the first promising part. Don't even bother picking it up to be disappointed by it is my recommendation. The trendy gitgud types are lying to you because there's nothing else out right now to occupy their attention. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

    PS: it's not "souls like". Remnant is nothing like "souls like". The closest thing to "souls like" about this game is that there are concrete checkpoints you activate ala bonfires. They're lying to you. Ask why.    … Expand

    Like the new title suggests, is feces.

While dodging the bosses attacks, a random wave of exploding ballsacks will swarm you, if you get hit by an explosion, you get tossed back and semi stunned. That gives the boss a free swing on you which can continue your stun. Then another ballsack explodes on you, then your dead.
    You would think, "let me use a health refill...". Nope, takes about 5 mins to use, in that time another swarm of ballsacks will be on your chin or a swing from the boss will have you stunned again. The gameplay makes you feel hopeless by cheap swarms of ballsacks on top of the boss already being a challenge. I feel like I have no option but to do it over and over until I get lucky aka RNG is in my favor leaving skill out of the equation. The boss itself is easy enough to learn and kill, but RNG shouldn't be here. Keep the ballsacks out of the fight. It's very much a copy and paste Souls like but in a cheap way. A very bad bad frustrating lazy design of a Dark Souls like game.

    I'm here to write this after receiving the game FOR FREE. This is how bad the game is...
    Get the game for free from Epic Games while you can, I would recommend NOT PURCHASING this game at full price. Very much not worth it. Wait for a heavy heavy discounted sale.    … Expand

    Overall, the game is quite clunky for me personally. I understand partially it is how it is supposed to be played, and is as intended.

I don't believe it necessary to throw 20 ads at the player while you battle a boss to make it challenging, because the stamina system really cannot keep up, and the player character is too slow. I tried really hard to enjoy this game because it was an interesting premise, but honestly it has failed in my eyes. I can imagine it being an entirely different experience cooperatively, as the attention is shared. But honestly, feels like uttter **** solo when fighting bosses, and a breeze when travelling from boss to boss.… Expand

    Another souls-like CLUNKY junk. What is amazing is that this is a frigging 2019 game, but everything is 2009 for real.

    A very fun and entertaining game that is absolutely hindered in every way shape and form by the worst boss design I have ever seen.

It's like having the most amazing cake but the core is liquid rancid dog **** Somehow the people making the game wanted to make something amazing and enjoyable, fun that everyone would enjoy. But then they a separate team for boss design and they hated life and wanted everyone else to also so they put in the worst insta-kill hard hitting attacks with no real warning they could think of, then kept putting the horribly designed bosses as often as possible. Enjoying the game? too bad! get your teeth kicked in for 2+ hours because we can't do our job well, hur dur.
    I pray every night that every single person involved with the design, implementation, and approval of any boss in this game gets testicular or ovarian cancer that makes them swell up extremely painfully over months before finally rupturing and then causing the other to do the same but take three times as long to go so. It's really THAT bad of a game.
    Anyone who rates this above a 4 needs to be checked into a mental hospital, and yes it's really that bad. Rated a 7+? then removed from the gene pool immediately as single digit IQ is not ok.    … Expand

    Like interesting boss fights? Hard fights where you learn and practice to progress? Too bad. ADDS. Fight ADDS. The boss has 3 slow mechanics and ADDS. On the way to the boss? That's the whole game.

    I realized again how wonderful the original is.

    The first few hours are interesting, but I get bored from the middle. So the Steam score has been declining since it was released.

    If Remnant were a novel, it would have a mildly interesting first sentence which is then copied and pasted for 200 pages.

    If 'Early Access' were a genre, this would be the prototypical example.

    Lazy game,lazy developers. They think that difficult means throwing **** ton of enemies. Thats basically it. THe game is bland,lazy and not inovative. The only difficult bossfights are when bosses spawn ads. Other then that i had no problem finishing it on the hardest difficulty.

    Solo recomiendo este juego si se desea jugar en cooperativo, del resto se vuelve una experiencia completamente repetitiva y aburrida tanto en lo jugable como lo visual, sin personajes memorables, gráficos mejorables, y que abusa de su inspiración a los juegos estilo souls,

    No quisiera ser tan duro con el juego pero la verdad es bastante complicado la forma de querer sumergirte en el mundo, con un ambiente demasiado lúgubre y oscuro unas gráficas mejorables y esa mala forma de direccionarte es difícil pasar de las primeras horas de juego

    What if Dark Souls had bad combat and even worse level design? This game, that's what.

    Consumables and health regen are way too long to use, it's just a way for the bosses to oneshot you for free. The controls are slow and clunky. Sounds like the devs took to worst ideas from other games (consuming stamina to sprint, really?), and mixed them into one poor, boring and frustrating game.

    The story is a shame, the characters... you can't like them. Or even hate them.

    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.
