    A nice unexpected surprise after the many hyped games in 2019 that turned out being disappointments. Remnant: From the ashes is a game that is equally enjoyable playing both solo and co-op.
    Didn't impress in the beginning but gets way better and more interesting the further you play and the story is ok for this type of game (hint, take time to read the various books through the game).

    Didn't impress in the beginning but gets way better and more interesting the further you play and the story is ok for this type of game (hint, take time to read the various books through the game). There are also many hidden gems such as how you get skills (traits) and how you can deal with bosses in multiple ways which in turn give different rewards. I like how you can change your playstyle during the game for different types of situations and are not stuck with the playstyle of the class you started with.
    I give it a 10 because it's a surprisingly good game that doesn't deserve the "low" overall Metacritic score.    … Expand

    Amazing game, For me, THE surprise of Summer 2019 .
    Good graphics, amazing music and sound design. Very well thought gameplay. The solo is great, the coop is even better.

    What are you waiting for ?

    Gonna make this brief:

    You travel between dimensions, time and space to try and find a way to undo the apocalypse that is dooming earth.

    also, the Artistic Inspiration is Lovecraftian and the Gameplay Inspiration is Dark Souls.

    Do... do you need more?

    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!

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.

Any small enemy can be dangerous if the player does not know how to cope with it. The gloomy tone of the game and the uniqueness of each location is also a plus. The game is sharpened for co-op, so it can be played as one, and with live players up to 3 people. The team is selected automatically taking into account the level of its strongest member, which allows you to create a rational group, where each of its representatives will be able to enjoy the game. Negative reviews note the complexity of Remnant: From the Ashes and the uniformity of tactics, also the unsightly graphics, but one common parameter, why the game is bad, they do not.

Many thinks you need to play in group but i've played through Normal, Hard and now halfway through Nightmare Solo without any trouble. Every playthrough is different with different bosses making the games replayability amazing.

A Remnant from the Ashes is the first RPG, Souls-like game that I played and the first Souls-like game with guns. When I first started the game I started off with a sword and as I progressed I got my first two guns when I picked a class.

    And as I progressed in the game the more that I leveled up my character and unlocked more levels to go the more difficult the game increased as usual. The game has an infinite backpack capacity to help players choose their own combat style, armor, and resources to fit. The game loot system is not very similar to games like Skyrim or Dragon's Dogma but it is still good. The shooting in the game is actually good even though it can't free aim at the other enemies and so is melee combat even if there is no target lock. And adding in-game gun mods that are added with fantasy magic is something that I have never seen before including guns that are filled with fantasy magic. Enemies were almost very fun to kill although I get killed instantly because of lacking upgrades and not enough items for healing. And Simulacrum is absolutely very rare to get when not upgrading my items and Dragonheart wisely.

    This game also encourages me to play it with friends meaning if that boss or level is difficult I need players in order to beat a level. The only criticism is that this does not have a chat option for players who don't have a speaker which makes it frustrating that it is more of a speed run rather than a campaign because I missed on secret item or spot so side mission to activate.

    I really like the campaign story in this game. It's not actually too perfect but it's actually pretty good. Although the story felt a little bit confusing, it's good but a little confusing. Sometimes I just always wonder what my character's place looked like before he sailed off or why he used the starter sword called "The Blade of Adventure" I think of my theory that is a family heirloom.

    In conclusion, I say that this Souls-like game with guns is something to look up to. And I hope that this game will have its own sequel to expand more of this story.    … 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

    - 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)

    This game is a great mix of Bloodborne, Darksiders, Borderlands. Great art desing, scenarios, enemies and music, great gunplay and character progression. The story could be better but it is not bad, just Ok to invite you to progress.

    Overall a pretty great game that is really enjoyable and addictive. It borrows a lot from other games but besides the melee combat the whole idea works like a charm! I recommend this game to all kinds of players!    … Expand

    A friend recommended the game to me and what can I say, I am completely enthusiastic. For me the surprise this year. Of course it has weaknesses, but overall the developers did a lot right. Atmosphere, sound, story and above all the weapon feeling. It all fits and is absolutely addictive. Some expensive Triple A titles can take an example.

    Remnant: From the Ashes is a souls like games but has an emphasis on weapons and guns. Personally I really like this game and is the first game I've really gotten into in a long time.

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

    6. Напрягать многими игровыми ситуациями и некоторыми боссами не хуже дс, при этом есть боссы которых проще убить в пати, а есть те, которых убийство в пати превращает в боль;

    8. Обладать кучей разных мелких механик, которой не обладал тот же дс (как вам, например, возможность в любой момент отменить эстус перекатом? Шо, Миядзаки, пока ты в 21 веке, малобюджетка в 31?).

    Но при этом не стоит забывать, что низкий бюджет не дал ей того разнообразия локаций, врагов, лута и лора, который бы мог поднять эту игру на качественно более высокий уровень, но даже при этом то, что в ней есть, позволяет подобрать комплект и стиль под нужды каждого любителя шутанов (правда насчет стелса не уверен, хотя даже есть перк на бэкстабы).

    If you want a shooter easier souls like game with rpg elements and interesting combinations this is the game for you. People complaining it is too hard, really, git gud, too much mobs on boss fights? This is because you don't understand the rpg elements part, a lot of equips adds bonus after kills, your skills also charge with kills, obviously, after you kill the boss these skills would be kind of useless don't you think? But they would really help during the boss fights? What do you think? So this is the reason for the mobs.
    Well, it certainly is not easy to solo on nightmare mode, yes this is for co-op, it is ridiculously hard to solo bosses on nightmare but when I say it is easier than souls is because on normal mode with the right leveled equips and mods it is really a walk on a Sunday afternoon, really. But I think it is fun to help under-geared people :/
    Now, why I gave only 8 if I like the game?
    Online bugs, sometimes you die while entering a teleport, you can't choose sessions correctly like sometimes you can enter low gear people, that is fun to help, and sometimes you can't, you can't see ping so it is a lottery if you can play the game with others nicely or if you will go powerpoint mode, but when it works and sometimes it takes a while to find a good session, it is a fun experience.    … Expand

There were two big problems for me. Gear and weapons are extremely limited. I ended up playing through with the default weapons and armor because what (rarely) came along was pretty boring IMO. The bigger problem is the procedural generation. It does nothing but severely limit good level design. There wasn't a single time here where I was wowed by what I was exploring. Quite the opposite, I frequently found myself realizing I've already seen these exact dungeon sections. But what about replayability? Lack of procedurally generated levels certainly hasn't diminished Dark Souls' replayability.

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

    The graphics and performance leave quite a lot to be desired, especially the performance, but this is somewhat understandable given the budget and relatively inexperienced dev team. On the positive side, the fact that this team with its budget managed to create such a coherent 3RD person co-op shooter is quite impressive.

    Procedural generation is more or less a none factor for me, neither here nor there. I just don't care about it. Most of the time i prefer hand crafted maps and enemy spawns because it usually leads to a more balanced and coherent experience. This game, with its partial procedural generation, somehow manages to avoid (for the most part anyway) these annoyances. Not entirely though. Balancing and difficulty spikes are definitely prevalent in the game and you WILL experience them in your play through.

    These problems are alleviated and much more lenient when playing with a friend. In fact, like i said above, the whole game just gets exponentially better when played with a buddy and i wholly recommend that you play the game like this, otherwise, you will likely find yourself saying "meh" a whole lot.

    Conclusion: Grab a friend, a few beers, crank up the difficulty, and let the good times flow.    … Expand

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

    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

    Now the second major problem with this game is the beginning and the lack of explanation on how the "difficulty" scales , these 2 things can and will make you think twice after beating the 1st boss. E.g mobs up until the 1st boss are mostly killed with one shot (not included elite mobs and mini bosses), but the main boss can take you on a ride specially if you've never played a game with a dodge mechanic like rolling, armor weight, movement speed, stamina etc etc.

    After that 1st boss a world opens up, there's a lot of things to collect, quests to complete, bosses to kill, things to unlock, but the good thing is you don't need to play harder difficulties to unlock specific things besides some hardcore items, and be aware i said hardcore not hard difficulty.

    The ability to replay the same areas but with a different layout and different bosses is fun in its core and the gameplay well makes up for those 2 bad things about this game. I still see people playing this game for 1 hour just to complain about graphics, the ambient being dull, full of "deadwood" and the boss being too difficult. People apparently must play only perfect games with super mario difficulty settings xD.

    Play the game after the 1st area seriously. It gets better. Now the scaling works like this, its directly tied to your weapons and armor level + progression on the 1st playthrough, but mostly the equipment level, the game basically stops you from breaking it with overpowered luck. Imagine binding of Isaac capabilities of getting an overpowered combination of items, that can happen in this game, but since the enemies scale with your highest equipment level ( yes even if its not equipped) it balances out.

    You have to learn a bit of the basics in dodging and invulnerability frames and understand that your survival its largely based on your skills and taking advantage of those mechanics, there's also consumables to buff/heal/cleanse statuses effects on you.

    So the learning curve is steep but if you have experienced any souls like game before this will be a breeze, if not please just read the descriptions of the items, you have a window with your stats (damages, fire rate, reload speeds, movement speed, resistances ) but the most important thing and i wished i knew this at the beginning, there's a little meter on the bottom of that stats window that shows you if you currently have the equipment at the correct level for the map you're on, it shows you if you're lacking in defense or in damage.

    The difficulty you pick (there's normal, hard, nightmare and apocalypse) only changes 2 things, the amount of health and damage the enemy mobs have, and the experience you gain. If you want to have a bit more of a challenge try those, believe me they're fun if you already know what to do.

    Hardcore is just like minecraft or any hardcore mechanic game, you play the game as normal but if you die you lose everything. Except account connected gear, which means if you get for example a mod for a weapon or a ring in hardcore and if its account bound you can use it right away with another character.

    Ofc there's bugs, sometimes the environment just straight up **** you xD But that's mostly due to the randomness of the maps sometimes it doesn't work properly but its negligible.

    Now equipment can be crafted or bought from vendors, but they are mostly tied to the maps and randomized locations... that can be a bit annoying... for a simple reason, if you already know what you want to get like watching build guides, specific quests etc ( which i don't advise at least on the 1st playthrough) you will find yourself frustrated for not getting that specific item in that specific map in that specific area because it didn't spawn to you.

    I went blind into this game and only after a few playthroughs i looked at some guides (mostly to where or how to kill a boss a different way to get a different item) and it was fun all the way through. The maps atmosphere are perfect, the sounds only enhance the experience, i love the sounds when an elite mob appears near you and there's an eerie sound that will send shivers down your spine ( at least the 1st time you play it xD).

    So after all this is mostly up to you, take advantage since its free on EPIC at least for pc (08/2020), you should definitely try it out. But please for the love of god play the damn game if you're thinking of reviewing it.

    TL,DR: The game is fun if you don't mind the initial hurdles and the "mindless minions playing for 1 hour so i know the whole game" type of people reviewing this game.    … Expand

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

    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 '' .

    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 ! :)

Nuestra misión es averiguar qué son, de dónde vienen, y por supuesto, terminar con ellos. La historia es interesante y realmente ayuda a querer continuar con el juego. El recorrido es más o menos lineal, con ciertas ramificaciones donde conseguir equipamiento extra. Los mapas se generar de forma aleatoria, por lo que ninguna partida es exactamente igual a otra. Una vez en el campo de batalla nuestro objetivo es avanzar, explorar y matar hordas de enemigos, hasta llegar a una niebla que anticipa un combate contra un gran jefe.

    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.

Pues... no, no es lo más difícil que te vas a encontrar tratándose de souls-like.

    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

And about the solo: in most cases it is true, it's interesting to pass it alone. Even on YouTube there are some videos of a solo walk-trhouw at the apocalypse difficulty. 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

    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.

    Way better than Most 3A games out there lol.. It's kinda challenging and it can get repetitive if you die all the monsters respawn.. and you have to replay the level for me this is anti fun mechanic i love the challenging part but replaying a whole level is nuts.. They have real potential at games the shooting felt so good and instant the revolver is sweet as fu*k Graphics are good aWay better than Most 3A games out there lol..

    ****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.

    I recommend this game> But you have to actually want to like it a lot.

    1st point: For a game with interdimentional travel, it manages to be quite unimaginative. Apocalyptic earth. A swamp. A forest. A wasteland. This is all you need to know about the environments of the game. Warframe, for example, doesn't even leave the solar system and manages to do better in my opinion. 2nd point:    I recommend this game> But you have to actually want to like it a lot.

    1st point: For a game with interdimentional travel, it manages to be quite unimaginative. Apocalyptic earth. A swamp. A forest. A wasteland. This is all you need to know about the environments of the game. Warframe, for example, doesn't even leave the solar system and manages to do better in my opinion.

    2nd point: enemies are copy/pasted over and over and over again, even bosses. Example: Every single boss except the butterflies, are easier than the adds they spawn, and every boss spawns waaay too many adds( riphide is even worse, being it's own add), which makes the fights more annoying than challenging, and depending on the build you're using, bosses could be borderline impossible to solo, independent of difficulty level, because you just don't have enough stamina to dodge 20 adds. TLDR: the game doesn't give you the tools to deal with the nonsense it throws at you. This looks to me like a lazy way to try to make the bosses seem more interesting than they are. Doubt me? Play the game and count the bosses that DON'T have an AOE attack the has infinite range, goes through cover, and doesn't require line of sight. Almost every boss in the game has one.

    3rd: The game tries to remain challenging in multiplayer through it's use of adds, and fails. Try it yourself. Those bosses that seemed impossible solo turn into jokes in multiplayer. Adds do them no favor.

    4th: I finished the game, played a lot of adventure mode, and still don't quite understand what's the deal with multiplayer. Really, how does it work, when do people spawn, I'm not sure I have a clue.

    5th: PC port sucks. Specially the menus and keybinds. It's quite noticeable the game was thought with consoles in mind and hastily adapted to pc as an afterthought. Seriously, no toggle aim down sights?! If you ban me for using autohotkey I'm flipping!!!

    6th: where are the grenades?

    7th: Why can't I mute my stupid man-child player character without muting everyone else, He doesn't even have proper dialogues, only barks/cues(-It's over now. -.- again)

    8th: Not a reeeeal problem, but i'd like more character customization, beyond the face. Like fat, muscle mass, height, etc. That would be nice

    9th: It kept feeling to me like there would be progression for the npcs, there isn't, it's a shame.

    That being said, guns feel good, movement feels good, animations look great, environments look good(uninspired but great), voice acting is good, and the game is overall fun. Bosses suck though.    … Expand

    First of all, for all the **** who write :"ToO EaSy!1!11!!!!" in their reviews, play it at a harder difficulty, not in normal, in Apocalypse difficulty the game is nearly impossible to complete in solo, in coop with 1-2 friends of mine we spent 6h for the first boss and another 4 hours for the Root Mother.

    Here's the actual review: The game is fine, the story is nothing special, you just have to have interest to read every piece of lore disseminated in book across all the map.
    There are some mechanics that are clunky and kinda RNG based:
    -You can't cancel the melee animation
    -Some debuff are actually so strong that make the game even harder
    -in Apocalypse difficulty to complete the game you need to pray that the RNG god to bless you, me and a friend of mine formulated some kind of code to understand how the RNG worked to make the game easier for us, because you die with one hit even from the first enemy of the game. This difficulty isn't "hard" it's just rng based.
    -some mechanics are difficult to understand and some "traits" (I think it's the right word for the skills) are not really clear what they do and actual improvents aren't that strong in harder difficulties (we can shave off half of them that become useless, actually 3 of them are in some way useful).    … 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.
