    Excellent game. I tried to like the first one but prefering solo play, I found it was heavily designed for co-op. Remnant 2 is far superior, with just about everything upgraded or addressed from the first one. Absolutely love it.

    Great follow up sequel. Improves on all the right areas. Love the balance and gameplay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and challenging game that still keeps things approachable and easy to jump in and out as life/schedule allows.

    I'm really enjoying the game. I'm a bit lost on the story but that's probably due to the fact that I didn't play the first one. Doesn't really matter though because the gameplay is fun. Controls are tight. Fights can get pretty hectic even on the easiest difficulty, but feel fair. Having people to play with makes tougher fights much more manageable.

Having people to play with makes tougher fights much more manageable. I was able to group with my friends on PS5 by finding and joining their game when interacting with the red crystal. That said, it would be great if there was also a way to send invites. Also, there doesn't seem to be in game voice chat at this time which is a bummer. Hopefully they add these features at some point. Have only encountered one bug in like 10 hours of play where I got pushed through a wall when an enemy grabbed me requiring me to log out and back in. Framerate is stable at 60fps on balanced setting. Not perfect, but having a lot of fun. No regrets on the purchase.… Expand

    The first remnant came out of nowhere for me. A friend suggested it, and we played it together. I was hooked and ended up Platting it. Ever since then I was looking forward to a sequel. That day is finally here!

    If you played the first one and enjoyed it, then I have no doubt in my mind that you will enjoy this even more. Improved graphics and game play all around, melee is more viable than the first and the guns feel tight and varied from each other.

    The introduction of new and unlockable secret archetypes is a great addition.

    A lot of the dungeons feel like you're playing detective if you want to find everything in them and that is a good thing. Especially in co-op where you can work with a friend to solve the puzzles,

    HUGE replayability make this one I will keep coming back to for numerous runs, as each time you spawn a game it randomizes the game so that you will face new bosses and layouts through your different playthroughs.

    It does not change much gameplay wise from the first, but didn't need to as they have a great formula...

    I highly recommend this game! If you can find a buddy or two to co-op it with, it makes the game even better,    … Expand

    The revamped world generation offers interesting objectives and areas to explore. Combat is as meaty and tense as before, while the new weapons are a blast. Archetypes and Mutators provide much more customization. Bosses are challenging but still fun to fight. The stunning art direction is made all the better with solid performance.

    Bad-
    Dynamic threat generation can go a little overboard at times. Controller settings, particularly sensitivity and deadzones, could use some more work. Some narrative bits feel awkward, and the player's constant callouts are annoying. Slight camera issues in tight spaces and a bit of jank.

    Thoughts-
    Saying that Remnant 2 is more Remnant isn’t inaccurate, but it’s far from being just more of the same. Quirks and issues aside, the sequel offers so much variety, challenges, environments, features and customization while delivering a compelling, well-paced journey. Sure, it doesn’t break the mold for compelling third-person shooter action, but it’s a worthy sequel that fans will love.    … Expand

    It's a very good game, I loved the first part as well, but I like the second part even better, the graphics are nicer, the gunplay was also polished, the game may have become a little more difficult, but I don't mind it at all, at least it's a challenge. I think I will play the game again many times 10/10

    This game is an improvement over the first in every way, much needed quality of life changes, better graphics, better story, skip-able cutscenes, better weapon mods rings and classes, and most of all some of my favorite boss fights in the entire souls-like genre, if you’re a fan of souls games I promise you’ll enjoy this game.

    Amazing game. People leaving bad reviews because the easiest difficulty is too hard hahaha I started on veteran and yes it’s hard but pretty much all I have to say is that the game is designed to be difficult. Get better learn the mechanics and you’ll have a blast. Bosses are very clever and well thought out. Great enemy variety and puzzles. I’m addicted.

    Not being able to play with your friends during an early access period doesn't make this game a 0. That is just people being disappointed. The first game was an 8. This game basically improved on everything so this game is a 9. If you enjoy the gameplay loop, which most will, you will get a lot of hours of fun out of this game.

    Gunplay feels absolutely satisfying and the option of the Adventure Mode is awesome to clear up Trophys and reroll to get another Version of a World without loosing your Campaing Progress.

    Developer Gunfire Games returns with the more polished sequel Remnant II. Players itching for an open world of brutality can take on a randomized campaign for hours of entertainment. Like its predecessor, the plot steps away from the forefront while the gameplay does all the talking. Defend yourself and your teammates against swarms of deadwood, and other massive entities until you conquer The Root. The immersive atmosphere and quick thinking mechanics will be your best distraction this year. In all, this sequel displays Gunfire Games' efforts in listening to their fandom and polishing that feedback. Any gamer can find enjoyment and satisfaction when they tune in unaccompanied, but the real fun begins once your friends join the fight.

    Remnant II is capable of surprises with its varied world design, and offers an enjoyable co-op experience, but its combat loop is needlessly stodgy and repetitive. [Issue#31, p.70]

    A masterful mix of souls-like and rogue-like elements with some excellent third person shooting, makes Remnant 2 a game you can sink hundreds of hours into and still not get enough.
