    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

    Do not listen to the losers that are giving this game bad scores. They just suck. You can tell by reading their reviews that they are Bad and this game is too difficult for them. But that's not a reason to give it a red score. If you're bad just deal with it.

    Remnant from the Ashes is the most fun I've had in a very long time. A big surprise. The game is fantastic and it surpasses all the expectations. It rewards the player for taking the time to learn its core. The story and lore are magnificent if you take the time to explore + the art style and atmosphere are very immersive + the soundtrack is on par and the gameplay... oh, THE gameplay is just pure perfection. Deserves a 10 out of 10. So far GOTY 2019 by a long shot. Try it for yourself and spread the word. This needs to become a franchise. It has full potential.    … Expand

    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?

    I was really looking forward to this game, and after reading some reviews, I was excited to play it on my own.

This game is meant to be a marriage of the soulslike and looter shooter genres, my two favorite types of games. However, the game is not what I expected at all. 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

    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.
