    Suffers from severe performance issues and a hefty amount of bugs, especially in multiplayer, but a great game at its core nonetheless, improving on almost every aspect of the first one.

    Great game, tons of fun. A better stronger second game. I really enjoy the randomness within each act, really looking forward DLCs with new areas to explore.

    Leaps and bounds over the original. Requires a pretty beefy rig to run smoothly as expected of an Unreal 5 Engine game but I have that beefy rig so my score is not impacted.

    Remnant 2 I am going to start off saying is an excellent addition to the first game that was already quite good.

    Remnant 2 offers a lot of different game-play styles, builds, weapons, abilities, items, ect... that keep the game fresh.

    There are a good amount of different classes that allow for so much variance in game-play either solo or multiplayer.

    Moving to the story. It's a straight forward story that also offers variance based on where you are and what parts of the game you get generated into you're play-through. This offers a tremendous amount of variance each time you play the game. If you aren't happy with a current play-through, no problem, re-roll your campaign and get the parts you desire.

    Overall the game is challenging and is so enjoyable and one of the better games of the year.    … Expand

Don't enjoy getting mercilessly pounded by a game, put it on easy mode. But if you do enjoy it, then this game accomplishes that with Nightmare/Apocalypse difficulties.

    When the game initially dropped, it was definitely poorly optimized but now that the patches have gone through, I rarely drop below my monitor threshold of 144 fps. Anyone that wasn't and still isn't able to get 100+ frames on their 4090s needs to learn more about their machine and how to optimize game settings. You signed up to to be a PC player... stop whining or go back to console lol. I had this game running over 100 fps within 15 minutes and I use a 2080TI. Learn your hardware people.

    It's unfortunate that this game got as much hate as it did, because the devs have been very communicative and have clearly doubled down on making this game into something great.

    Realistically, this game should be about an 8. Nothing ground breaking but a very very fun game. Giving it a 9 due to all the excessive hate though.    … Expand

    A rare beauty with beautiful voice acting, amazing character classes, untold number of secrets to discover and satisfying gunplay+melee fighting.

    It is well worth your time.

    The devs halve already put out a balance and optimization patch 2 weeks after release.

    Buy this game, you will not regret it.

    First off, this game is not for everyone. But what game is? I'm going to list some attributes and feelings and observations on Remnant II, both good and bad. It will be interesting to see what triggers people who played and disliked the game, and what excites people who played and really enjoyed the game.

I'm going to list some attributes and feelings and observations on Remnant II, both good and bad. It will be interesting to see what triggers people who played and disliked the game, and what excites people who played and really enjoyed the game.

    THE BAD

    Difficulty - While there are 4 different levels of difficulty, the game is punishing at times. Not because the game has bad or cheap mechanics, it is because you just don't have the skill or patience to get better.

    Graphics - If you don't like every zone to look basically the same and have a cohesive aesthetic, then go play Tears of the Kingdom or Elden Ring. This game offers multiple different biomes and they all have their own look and feel. It could be very jarring to normies.

    Music - If you are not a music lover or don't appreciate when music moves your soul, then please stay away from this game. Each area and every boss fight (even alternate versions...oops spoiler) have a soaring and emotional soundtrack that captures the bond between you and your next challenge.

    Level Design and Layout - This game will suck for you if you are the type that hated when the layout of Orgrimmar completely changed after Cataclysm and you had to relearn where everything was. Don't play this game if you like replayability and a fresh playthrough on your "new game +".

    Story and Dialog - Christopher Nolan must have helped write the witty dialog branches and overall story. At no point does the story hold your hand, and it makes you think about what is happening around you. Ughhhh! When I beat a game, I want everything explained to me on a silver platter. If I wanted mystery and lore, and had to interact with NPC's and story cues scattered around the environment, I would go play Balder's Gate 3.

    Game Optimization, Stability and Bugs - I personally had zero problems playing even during early access before the first huge hotfix.
    Here are my PC stats: Game ready updated GFORCE drivers, Windows 11 with no malware or Pronhub viruses, I don't have the TEMU app downloaded and I spent a little extra money (still $30 cheaper than Lightfall deluxe) on the Deluxe Edition so I could make sure that they let me download a premium copy from Steam.

    THE GOOD

    This game f*cking rocks! I have had an absolute blast playing mostly solo. It has been dam hard at times, but the sense of satisfaction I have after I finish a rough encounter (Nightmare Laby Cube fight, I'm looking right at YOU) is so exhilarating. The graphics are gorgeous and the world designs are absolutely stunning. The story leaves a lot of mystery and there are clues and hints at some bigger picture that we can't see just yet. I'm really looking forward to the 3 planned DLC's to flesh out what is really going on and how we are going to kill the Root for good!!! Oh, and the puzzles, secret classes, hidden interactions, alt-boss fights and so much more intrigue have made my 3 playthroughs so much fun. Thank you Gunfire! I loved From the Ashes, and I am a huge fan of 2. This might just be my GOTY. Let's see how Baldur's Gate plays out.    … Expand

It's more like a 7/10 but i want to balance the 6, which is not deserved IMO. A lot of things to do, secrets, good gameplay, cool bosses... My biggest disappointment is the build system

    This review is assuming you are playing co-op. I can't imagine this would be very fun alone.

    I will start with the one problem I have with the game. Since everything in the game is procedurally generated, you can get stuck with some really BAD zones. I started in the medieval zone, and it was an amazing experience. I won't spoil anything, but it was incredible. Then I spawned an 'adventure' of that same world, and it was AWFUL. It seemed like I got the most frustrating areas all strung together, and I hated it. It was really concerning to me right away, that a new player might be stuck with that world in their main game and just come to hate the game based on that.

    And what I like about the game: Pretty much everything else. Sure some bosses are way harder than others, but it seemed like the required bosses were the easier ones and that is understandable to me. A lot of people are complaining about crashes, and I received one of those in about 20 hours. A lot of people are complaining about performance issues, and the worst I had was sometimes my game would hitch for like 1 second, but it was hardly even a distraction it happened so infrequently. (3070ti laptop)

    Out of the around 25 bosses I remember fighting, only one was kind of meh. The rest were bangers, and had varied mechanics that kept me interested. I even fought a boss that looked VERY similar to another boss, and I was getting ready to be disappointed at fighting the same boss twice, when he pulled out like 5 all new mechanics and absolutely murdered me for 3 hours straight. It was awesome.

    Overall, I have a whole lot of positive experiences with this game and very few negative ones.    … Expand

    I thought, to be honest, that the plot part would be bigger, but not the point, we have a good sequel that removed many of the inconveniences and jambs of the original, and this was already enough for many to fall in love with this game. I, however, am ready to evaluate only a little higher than the first part, because development still has room to grow

    I love this game, the art, the gameplay, even though I don't usually like shooters. Build variations feel endless, exploration is fantastic and in-depth, especially when considering team play. Awesome to explore alone, but for a different but equally fun experience, team up easily with friends (not this **** you have to go through in Dark Souls to play together, just click & go).

    I'm soon 100 hours played and that's a rarity for me.

    I see people whine about the plot but the beauty of the plot is that it's much like DS, obscure, but not as obscure as DS. By just playing through the zones you get a general idea of what's going on, but if you take time to read journal notes or look at items, you can discover more. I don't usually enjoy serve-and-eat plots and having to click through a million RP options and stuff, this game does NOT do that which is great - instead it is much more geared towards exploration, tough boss fights, yet somehow the lore of the zones intrigued me and I loved being mystified by it and working out what was going on.

    I'd actually give it 10/10 but there are some glaring performance issues that rear its head at random times, such as certain buffs causing serious framedrops, but in general the game runs well enough for my old ish gaming pc. The dev teams seem on top of the issues and are listening to community for wish list changes and performance updates as well as balancing the classes.    … Expand

    Very solid and fun third person shooter with lot of replayability. You don't come for a plot or good written characters, it's all about shooting stuff and it excels at it.

    Remnant II is a great evolution of ideas from the first installment, making each adventure feel unique in its own way. It is one of the few Soulslike games with full co-op.

    While it might be convenient shorthand to describe Remnant II as Dark Souls with guns, it must also be said that it is its own genre-defining achievement — a co-op looter shooter that finds its own unique, otherworldly identity without succumbing to the worst instincts of the genre.

    Remnant 2 follows its predecessor to the letter albeit by improving every single aspect. It doesn't really need to innovate the genre, thanks to its utterly satisfying gunplay, myriads of secrets, excellent replayability and a diverse set of levels, enemies and bosses.
