But its a lot of fun, gear and loot, the combat is great and the game keeps u on edge all the way through. The developers fixed most things ppl had problems with.

And i loved every minute of it :) I recommend not overdoing the first playthrough, and then do it again at higher difficulty. Normal is a bit easy, but hard or worse (playing solo) is a challenge. Overall great game, great graphics, fun weapons and combat, good enemy and boss variety, sound and music is ok. Very good and well made game. Only down is that there isnt any really any story, its a shoot and loot all the way.… Expand

    Remnant: From the Ashes' fun co-op gameplay is what alleviates the whole experience from pretty mediocre to somewhat enjoyable.

    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.

Funciona bien? Sí, es bastante entretenido. Se trata de un juego de temática oscura, donde una especie de raza alienígena ha invadido la tierra, reduciéndola a cenizas. 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.

    Mencionar tambien la contestación a una pregunta que suele surgir tratándose de este subgénero de juegos. Es muy difícil? Pues... no, no es lo más difícil que te vas a encontrar tratándose de souls-like. Una vez domines las mecánicas (hasta entonces morirás unas cuantas veces) te darás cuenta de que la curva de dificultad es pronunciada al principio, luego el camino se hará más llano.    … 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.

    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

    Amazing game, superior replay value! Combat feels soul like but progression really is more of a roguelike style game, where you can do many runs in a single session and still find new fun ways to play it, multiplayer is great and the weapons are really cool and unique.

    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.

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

    This game since its been out for free on EPIC i can't stop playing it, one of the major problems is the story being somewhat terrible, and gets easily lost a long the way of the playtrough so do not expect it to be lore driven as dark souls or any other decently story driven game. To be blunt the story is the thing that makes this game look terrible.

    Now the second major problem with    This game since its been out for free on EPIC i can't stop playing it, one of the major problems is the story being somewhat terrible, and gets easily lost a long the way of the playtrough so do not expect it to be lore driven as dark souls or any other decently story driven game. To be blunt the story is the thing that makes this game look terrible.

    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

    This game has a lot of ups and downs, with the peaking experience residing in co-op.
    The graphics are based on Unreal Engine and although they're decent, it doesn't bring out the full potential of UE. Visuals are generic and level design is horrible, with recycled maps giving no impulse to explore things whatsoever.

    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

    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 ! :)

    4. At some point I was very tired of mobs.
    5. Probably you won't meet some mini bosses, only in another walkthrough.

    I can recommend this game only if you have played all co-op games and want more. (BTW I didn't finish game, because I've stuck in the middle and try to find the right direction with my friend more than 2 hours.)    … Expand

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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

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.

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

    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 wouldn't be so bad if I had to just keep repeating the most boring walking/combat sections. That's whyIt was a boring, walking sim, Souls-like until it became a trash mob simulator.

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

    While this is yet another Dark Souls-inspired game, it is fun… to an extent. The game, overall, just gets way too tedious and boring to keep my attention. Boss fights are terrible, locations are boring and overused and enemies are just, well, mediocre. It’s basically you against swarms of enemies. Overall, not horrible but not great.

    the graphics could be better there are still problems in co-op and the controller control on the pc via epic games only works indirectly with steam but otherwise it is a good story game that you can play with friends unfortunately there are not many

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

    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

    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.
