    it´s a mixed bag. i´m playing on hard and here the bosses have about the right amount of difficulty altough they tend to be very bullet spongey at times. still the boss fights are what´s fun about the game they can present a certain challenge but never feel unfair. where the game does get tedious is between the bosses. it´s a plain old snooze fest. the gameplay loop is very primitive andit´s a mixed bag. i´m playing on hard and here the bosses have about the right amount of difficulty altough they tend to be very bullet spongey at times. still the boss fights are what´s fun about the game they can present a certain challenge but never feel unfair. where the game does get tedious is between the bosses. it´s a plain old snooze fest. the gameplay loop is very primitive and absolutely repetetive. theres really no point at all in leveling up you get a trait point you can invest in largely useless traits. add 0,00001% here or there hardly makes a difference to the actual gameplay at all. you max out traits at 20 so you might raise a certain trait by alomst nothing in the end. not that you would notice a difference anyway since enemies scale with you so theres even less of a chance to see any kind of progress. almost the same goes for your equipment you can upgrade armor and weapons for more armor and damage but it´s the same again there´s basically no feeling of progression here. the whole game design seems incompetent. armor sets do bestow cetain passive skills that could finally make for some variety in this boring mess but once you start uprading a set your locked in. if you find a certain new set would make for a good boss strategy your basically **** since upgrading it to a not terrible level would mean hours upon hours of even more tedious grind. theres 0 incentive to experiment since any deviation form your starter set is brutally and pointlessly punished by the game. you can´t mix and match armor either since the bonuses are so minute that you need all 3 set pieces to notice them at all. all this could have been avoided if you would simply upgrade your damage potential or armor rating indipendent of the actual armor or weapon that way you could mix and match and experiment.
    another stupid decision is to spit in the face of decent game design and lavish TWO whole skills upon you. they might as well haven´t bothered at all. certainly 2 is better than none but you hardly get any kind of depth or strategic gameplay like that. the 2 active skills slotted to your weapons which you also only have two of. why any game designer in their right mind would do that is beyond me. there certainly would have been potential since some of the skills could have been used synergetically you could have actually have different builds if you had more than 2 active skills. there could have been tactical gameplay but it´s ruined by very poor game design
    there´s no reason to explore the bland and unispired levels either you almost never find anything useful. i´m about 15 hours in now and like the controls and the sound design in general combat could be fun if it had any variety at all. the hits do feel impactful but if your fighting the same enemies over and over the same way over and over it just becomes a chore. i like to see the rest of the bosses but the thought of slogging through another uninspired ugly level filled with boring grunts for hours upon hours just for a few minutes of a decent boss fight just puts me to sleep.    … Expand

    Very, very frustrating game. I was enjoying the game a lot until it was totally ruined at the first boss fight, which was IMPOSSIBLE. I don't know if my game was bugged but I seemed to do absolutely no damage whatsoever to the boss (who could kill me very easily) and after many, many tries I finally rage-quit and uninstalled it.

I wanted so much to like this game that I reinstalled it and tried again, only to have the same experience over and over again and uninstall for the final time.
    Such a shame; there was a lot of enjoyment in this game but it came to an absolute road block of failure with the boss fight.    … Expand

    Torturous unless you schedule to play with out side sources, I don't have that ability so the game sucks for me. Too hard for single player.

    I've had more interesting turds.
    This game is what I would describe as complete boredom. Completely uninteresting story as well as repetitive gameplay which at points is confusing... Bad game.

Même si on peut aussi s'emmerder en solo dans ce truc, histoire (avantage non négligeable) de se rendre compte vite fait de l'étendue des dégâts...

    Et les dégâts sont nombreux et irréparables... on ne peut même plus les contrôler (les dégâts) tellement il y en a... car ce jeu est un navet, un gros navet ! tout y est en effet très médiocre, les combats, les animations, l'espèce d'histoire (lol), les dialogues imbéciles, l'univers éculé et suranné qui mélange fantasy bas de gamme et sf de supermarché (en solde)...

    La maniabilité est elle aussi médiocre, pas de parade, pas de contre ni d'esquive (seulement des roulades...) des armes sans relief, des sensations inexistantes... et pas de sauvegarde ? Graphiquement, c'est également très quelconque et tout cela, la somme de tout cela n'est que pur ennui à des doses très inquiétantes : le meilleur moment du jeu reste sans conteste la désinstallation !    … Expand

    Remnant: From the Ashes is one of the better ARPGs released in recent years so if you enjoy Souls-like campaigns or third-person shooters in general then I'm sure you'll have an enjoyable time mowing down the monsters that lurk in its post-apocalyptic world.

    Remnant: From the Ashes is doing well at mixing Dark Souls-like gameplay and TPS action games. It also has a great universe, but the procedural features of the levels are a bit annoying.

    If you take the time to learn its mechanics and grind for some gear, once it ‘clicks’, Remnant changes from a simple Souls-like game to a completely unique experience that I could hardly put down. It’s a shame that it released in the busy window that it did alongside some massive AAA games, as I’m sure it’ll get overlooked, but if you’re a Souldborne fan and want an entertaining co-op adventure with some friends, Remnant: From the Ashes should seriously be looked at. While I was almost ready to give up at one point, it’s a fantastic game once you learn its intricacies.
