    Extremely good game. I was finally able to experience a soul-like game genre, I just wish the other games were that approachable. It was super challenging at some moments, but very addictive. The graphics could be better as well as some other minor things, but in general, the game is great. I enjoyed it a lot.

    This game is a masterpiece. It took a while for it to grow on me. The replayability value is astounding. Each playthrough be it the main campaign or "adventure mode" has different elements. And they can be "re-rolled" any time. The play style customisation is incredible, a crazy amount of armour, weapons, weapon power ups, accessories. And you can invest skill points earnt from XP.

I first found the game very intimidating, I dreaded going around each level but it gets easier and then more satisfying then exhilarating! It takes skill, patience and tactics especially for different strategies required for boss battles. The amount of content is a joy to pour over, I've sunk over 100 hours in and it still feels fresh due to how each play through is different yet in a new game plus style.… Expand

    The biggest issue with this game is it really is too difficult to play single player. The best way to play it is with others even if you don't have friends it is possible to join up with others.

    This is a game I keep going back to and still always have something new to discover. The gameplay may be simple but it’s never grown old. In my opinion it’s one of the best coop games out there.

    + Fun Combat
    + Fun Boss Fights

    I enjoyed a lot. I usually play solo, but the co-op was easy to jump in or have people jump in and help you out. It was a welcome design. Story was pretty cool and the combat was nice and challenging. It's got a Soulslike formula, but it is a shooter more than anything, which is unique. It encourages replaying to see out different things. Worth the buy.

    Fun game. It's like a cooperative souls game with rogue-like elements. Various bosses and random encounters are randomly selected from a limited pool for each of the main hub-worlds. It has a suitably atmospheric and bleak storyline about the remnants of human civilization trying to retake the world and yada yada. You blow lots of stuff up with guns and special powers called "mods."Fun game. It's like a cooperative souls game with rogue-like elements.

There were also a few puzzle-like elements of the game that reminded me of one of my favorite MMOs, The Secret World.

    My main complaint about the game has to do with power-scaling. About halfway through I found it to be complete faceroll easy because of certain OP weapons and abilities. I find myself going back and forth between rating this game a 7 or 8, and deciding on 8 because I love the setting. A post-apocalyptic landscape that is connected to other weird worlds is right up my alley. I look forward to part 2.    … Expand

Интересна так же концепция с процедурной генерацией, мы с товарищем пропылесосили весь мир, но так и не получили доступ к некоторым боссам и к примеру не смогли активировать робота в пустыне. Просто в нашем прохождении не было определенной локации, где нужная запчасть. Атмосфера - просто потрясающая, мир прям поглощает и погружает в себя, жаль, что городских локаций не так много, как хотелось бы. Уж очень атмосферно там. Стрельба - очень порадовала. Оружие, перки - разнообразные, применимые и креативные. Оптимизация - лучше, чем в Darksiders 3. Раздражает только подзагрузка текстур одежды. Локализация очень порадовала. Потом купим DLC и пройдем повторно с ними. В общем игре ставлю 8,5/10. Могу рекомендовать.… Expand

    It is but to say, that you can not see all the bosses of the game in one run.

    I had been mulling over whether or not to play this game for a while. I dont play a lot of co-op games but a couple of friends of mine are always wanting for us to play together, so I suggested this while it was on PS+.

    It took a little while for my friends to warm up to it, while I was thoroughly enjoying it from the first minute. It didnt take long though and both of my mates (who are regular co-op game players) were all having a great time with the game.

    The graphics and music are okay... probably a little above average, and the sound effects are better, helping to deliver a proper impact when your bullets etc. connect with an enemy. It is the gameplay where the game truly shines though, it all just flows extremely well and with the exception of being unable to 'shoot-from-the-hip' (the main frustration my friends encountered during our first session) it all controls precisely as you would want a third-person shooter to do so.

    It is easily both, the best game I have played so far this year... and the best co-op game I have ever played. My friends also rated it extremely highly in the vast list of co-op games that they have played. An absolute hidden gem of a game and I so hope that Gunfire Games will make a sequel one day.    … Expand

    the good:
    -Graphics are not mind blowing but get the job done.
    -Shooting mechanics are fantastic!
    -A nice touch is the semi randomness where the levels are constructed differently on a different playthrough and with (possibly) different bosses, adds a bit of variety which keeps things fresh.
    Game can be really hard at times, but I don't mind a challenge

    the bad:
    - Bosses generally can spawn minions, which can tip the scale for some bosses from hard to unfair
    - The last boss, really didn't like the concept of that fight

    Overall, if you don't mind a challenging game, I can highly recommend!    … Expand

    However if you stick with it and learn the mechanics, its actually a lot of fun. Once you find the right gear to match your play style it becomes much easier. The diversity in builds is nice, too.

    Gameplay: 9 - after you learn it
    Replayability: 9

    Sound: 7

    Remnant from the ashes is a souls like game but with the edition of guns being your main weapons.
    the game is in my opinion a love letter from developer Gunfire Games to from software the game doesn't copy the blood souls franchise like other souls like games but adds more to it like the guns being the main weapons or the re roll mechanic which i will explain later at the pros

    the game is in my opinion a love letter from developer Gunfire Games to from software the game doesn't copy the blood souls franchise like other souls like games but adds more to it like the guns being the main weapons or the re roll mechanic which i will explain later at the pros

    story: you are a human searching for the tower because it contains the secrets to defeating the root which are the main baddies of the game but you soon find out that there are other worlds that you can travel to and so begins your adventure

    cons:

    the game suffers from a lot of technical issues like frame rates rendering issues game crashes bugs and sometimes the online doesn't work at all i personally had like 6 hard crashes and had to re roll my campaign just to continue playing

    there is no penalty for dying what so ever and i consider it kind of bad because the game becomes more casual and easy the only penalty you suffer is your mods (skills) charge resetting but they do charge fast so its kind of a useless penalty

    the loading screen is a bit long and the developers need to shorten its time

    playing on harder difficulties doesn't give you anything special except for bragging rights so its kind of not worth it changing your difficulty in the game

    there aren't that much sets and armors in the game although you can finish the game with your base armor set that you get from the beginning of the game and most of the armors aren't that useful its always nice to have a lot of gear on you and thinking how much you progressed through this game

    the game is a little bit short campaign wise yes again i know the developer team isn't that big but again they could extend it by a little bit

    leveling is a bit broken in this game in my opinion and in a short while you can become really op which again makes the game casual also you can get tomes of knowledge which are skill points so at some point you can just become super op

    pros:

    the developers are releasing patches left and right and always answer the fans in the social forms they always fix problems and always try to make the game better which is awesome because it shows how much they care about their game

    almost all the bosses are really unique and a couple of them can destroy the area around you every boss acts differently which means you have to approach it differently and change your mods (skills) and weapons so you can defeat them also there are two ways to kill most of the bosses and you get different rewards if you kill them one of both ways

    the replay value in this game is crazy because of a cool mechanic they added called re rolling
    re rolling your campaign will change the maps and the bosses you face which also changes the rewards you get that means you can replay the game more than once and get different stuff also as i mentioned almost every boss has two ways you can kill him which also adds to the replay value

    i finished the main campaign after 20 hours which is a lot considering i searched everywhere and everything there was on the maps

    there are a lot of secrets and puzzles you can discover and get awesome rewards from and they are challenging which is a super good thing

    the map design is superb and every new area looks and feels like your there

    they added voice over to your character and he has that Nathan drake lines where he yells goddammit if you almost die or get hit or if someone spots you your character yells oh what now ? its a very cool edition to the game but they need to add more lines because sometimes your character will repeat him self and it will become annoying over time

    they also added secret quests like in dark souls which is again a cool edition and give you more room to explore and find or return items to the npc quest givers

    mods are the skills you can use in this game you can get mods from killing bosses and crafting mods from the materials you get every mod is super awesome but you can only use two by applying the mod to your weapons it also changed the weapons look props to the devs for adding that extra detail

    traits are your passive skills that you can unlock by doing all sorts of challenges although the game doesn't tell you what to do and how to get those traits so its super fun to discover it by yourself

    all in all this game is super fun and awesome and a cool edition to the souls like games and in my opinion one of the best ones in that category but the developers have to patch the game a lot because there are a lot of technical issues in the game right now so my final score to the game is a 7 out of 10 and after they patch it up a easy 8 out of 10

    2020 update: so after swamps of courses released and after a lot of patches gunfire did it the game became just so much better including the new dlc content so my 2020 score after all they did with the game is a 8.5 out of 10    … Expand

    As a fan of these kinds of games, I can say that Remnant: From the Ashes is a type of soulslike that I would have probably passed over in favor of something more traditional, but after giving it a fair shot I’m glad to say that it’s the successful spin on the genre that I didn’t know I wanted.

    Remnant: From the Ashes is a brilliant game that will undoubtedly satisfy the masochistic urges of all those Souls-Like (really can't apologise enough) fanatics out there that need their next fix of brutal punishment in the form of a video game. The game is let down by a few minor faults and won't provide the same amount of gameplay that the majority of Souls games deliver to players, but the positives of this game far outweigh its negatives and the ability to replay it and take it on with friends negate the admittedly short standard campaign time.

    Remnant: From the Ashes is an entertaining and challenging game, that also give us some options to try its gameplay and challenge its enemies. However, you should not forget that it's mainly a coop game, and playing alone can be tough or even frustrating for the most part of the journey.
