    I don't even know what Souls-like even means until now. 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.

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

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

    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.

    Decided to play it because Remnant 2 looked rad, and I really liked it. It is a soulslike/looter shooter that, while no being the best of either genre, still really compelling. I do recommend it!

    It was a boring, walking sim, Souls-like until it became a trash mob simulator. After dying to a couple of the harder enemies because I can't tell where their hitbox is, it looked like I started a boss fight and then had an enemy (the boss?) spawn in behind me and one-shot me.

It's like all of the worst game design choices that could be made, all wrapped into one package with R:FtA. How this pile of $#!^ enabled a sequel to be made is beyond my comprehension. Gamers must be getting extremely desperate in order to shovel out cash for such excrement. (although, I did get this during an EGS giveaway, so I'm guilty of enabling, as well)… Expand

The overall gameplay loop of kill enemies, upgrade weapons, try over and over again to kill the boss until you prevail, or go away and get enough materials to upgrade weapons and become stronger so you have an edge, is very satisfying. I can see why people would find this game to be a 5 or a 6 out of 10, but I think if you're the type of person who rates a game like this 0/10, you're just review bombing because you are either not good at the game or irrationally mad that this game requires exploration and practice to become good at. Very few games are genuinely a 0/10, and this game is definitely not one of them. Very excited for the sequel.… 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

    I went through the game in solo, so I will evaluate it this way, since the game claims itself that it has a company that can be played like this.

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

    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.

    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.
