Repetitive gameplay through really lacking environments that would have benefited from an actual design instead of this procedural generation crap... Difficulty is all over the place. The general game is incredibly easy, then when you hit a boss fight it either is a pushover or nearly impossible. Calling this a loot shooter is also a stretch, there is barely any loot to be had. For anyone looking for drops and changing your gear, you will be disappointed to know there is only 10 total armor sets... And guns are also very limited. There's some variety with the boss guns but they end up making it so you cannot use any of the other perks you get in the game. There is some fun to be had through the co-op... But it's hardly worth the time. Without spoiling, near the end of the game you have to solve a random puzzle that gives very little direction as to what you need to do. It also gives no indication that if you mess up once, you need to kill yourselves and try again or you never will complete it. There is no way to know this by just playing the game, and you don't even know you are entering a puzzle room and can easily mess it up right away. We ended up killing our progress by being stuck here for an hour, and you should not have to look the answer up online which is what ended up happening. After this puzzle, you face the final boss. It is a very odd pacing choice that totally killed the game for us right at the end... Overall we had some laughs despite the horrible glitches we encountered. Had the game not been free on ps plus this month, it would not be worth it. Don't spend a dime on this crap, but if you want a new co-op game, pick it up for free this month and give it a try maybe you'll like it. But to me, not worth the praise at all.… Expand

    The shooting mechanics are pretty decent, but the infinite respawning all around you out of thin f@#$%& air armies of annoying mobs gimmick gets REALLY old, REALLY fast.

    No, really, I can't emphasize this enough. You can't walk 10 steps without the game teleporting at least 5 or 6 annoying mobs to where you least expect.

Not to mention that EVERY SINGLE F@#$%& boss in this game spawns infinite annoying minions. You are FAR more likely to be killed by the boss' minions than by the boss himself. This is more a nuisance than a challenge. This is what it means to be artificially difficult.

    An another thing, the enemy level scale to your highest upgraded item? doesn't that negate the very reason item upgrading exists?    … Expand

    Kinda passable for a but but all bossfights awful. Respawning ads that do more damage than the boss. Bosses are just a reskinned normal enemy half the time. This game is not worth your time.

    Gunplay is solid and decently fun. That is where the fun ends. Another game with absolutely terrible navigation, gives you no indication of where you are supposed to go. Only tells you what your objective is. After 2 hours of not finding my objective, I sought a youtube video for guidance. All maps are generated randomly, so that was the end for me. Also, the cutscenes seemed lame, likeGunplay is solid and decently fun. That is where the fun ends.

The game wants you to go talk to certain people but displays no names above their head, just relying on my stoner memory, no thanks.… Expand

    Did some diligence on the game via reviews and gameplay videos, so was convinced it would be a solid buy for me, as it supposedly ticked a few boxes for me.

    Boy was I wrong. - Looter shooter... with no loot to speak of! - I knew there was difficulty involved, but I was promised normal would be fine. Hell no, waaaay too difficult for solo players... that's my main gripe.

    - Rushing enemies all day long
    - Bosses are stupid. Difficulty spike only due to infinite amount of add spawns that rush you and bullet sponge mechanics - Upgrading gear has no use, as enemies scale with you depending on your highest gear level - Boring, uninspired gunplay, unintended melee attacks too frequent because in hectic situations you forget to aim

    Bummed out I bought it on the ps store, otherwise I'd get a refund. Thankfully bought it for a reduced price, but not even worth that. Stay away from this garbage.    … Expand

    Another 30fps letdown. Hopefully devs will soon learn that 60fps is needed for good gameplay

    This is beyond a doubt, the worst game I have ever played. I could not get past the first challenge (find the subway entrance) before I gave up. Dying over and over again with no apparent chance of advancing further is just plain stupid and frustrating. I quit! Thankfully it was a free game from PS plus this month and I didn't spend any of my money on this crap!

    Sub-par graphics, clunky gameplay, and I personally weren't interested in the story.

    You and your friends travel around Earth and to other worlds to battle various types of enemies. Full game with only 2 DLC which add levels and enemies. Worth the price. Great fun especially if you have a friend or two to play with. I'm playing at the end of 2023 and there are still constantly active games to join. Reminds me of the old left 4 dead games.

    Awful broken game, nothing compared to the quality of a From Software game. Don't bother playing this terrible title. Its completely unbalanced and unfair and even when you get past difficult parts, there is no sense of satisfaction.

    Lazy boss design, built around the idea that every single boss (I sh*t you not) must throw an infinite amount of bullet sponge enemies at you. While the game is indeed really fun in co-op, the game is absolute single-player garbage. Imagine my shock when I realized that the game which was advertised as a looter shooter has barely any loot, except for crafting materials and consumables.Lazy boss design, built around the idea that every single boss (I sh*t you not) must throw an infinite amount of bullet sponge enemies at you. While the game is indeed really fun in co-op, the game is absolute single-player garbage. Imagine my shock when I realized that the game which was advertised as a looter shooter has barely any loot, except for crafting materials and consumables. One of the other user reviews suggests that there are some minor bugs, and I am willing to agree with that, if we consider constant game crashes on PS4 as a minor bug. People tend to give this game way higher ratings than it should have, mostly because most of the new games are not really good, I guess. Overall, Remnant: From The Ashes is a journey from point A to point B, while collecting crafting materials and consumables, and in some extremely rare cases - weapons and armor (in case they happen to be in your world), in order to fight a boss which will summon infinite amount of enemies. Remnant is not hard, it is tedious. The voice acting is not really bad, but it's not very good either, but oh well, that's what you get for 40$ I guess? And while all the NPCs look generic, sound generic, and they feel like we've met them already in another game, how are we, the players, supposed to feel engaged? This game feels like Atlas at times, you feel like it should've been in Darksiders, but they thought they can make some money out of it. And they did. If you're on PS4, avoid this game at all costs. Considering the fundamental flaws the game has (which should've been pointed out by the reviewers, but they weren't because it's a 40$ game, and again that doesn't make it any better) I would suggest waiting for a sale, so you and your buddies can actually enjoy the co-op (where the game shines) at a reasonable price.… Expand

    The game is buggy like hell. Gameplay? Random locations and bosses - what? Scaling mobs - what? Lol, are you seriously? What is the point to up your guns and talants? What is the concept?

    Broken game. Crashes every time you try to select a class at the start of the game. Very disappointing. Will update if it's fixed.

    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.
