Aug 2, 2023Nothing pleases more than being in the worlds of Remnant II. There is no greater satisfaction than hitting a weak spot with a critical hit and seeing a big red number rise up from an enemy corpse.
-
Aug 21, 2023Remnant II improves on its predecessors in every way, adding depth and variety in all the places it needed to. Whether played solo or with friends it is a polished and accomplished sequel that Gunfire Games should be proud of.
-
Aug 13, 2023One of the most interesting action RPGs of the year and confirmation that it is the ultimate Dark Souls with guns.
-
Jul 25, 2023With a deep character-building system and the endless possibilities offered thanks to its procedurally generated levels, Remnant 2 is an absolute must experience and one we think we’ll be world-hopping in for a long, long time.
-
Jul 26, 2023Remnant 2 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but instead builds on the solid foundation of the first game and improves it in almost every way. With more varied, more specialized character builds, an intriguing new class system that isn't afraid to hide some of its most interesting classes until later in the game and amazing bossfights, Remnant 2 is a very easy recommendation for both co-op and solo players.
-
Aug 27, 2023Remnant 2 takes up the good work done by its predecessor, expanding it, improving it in almost every aspect and smoothing out the rough edges.

Sep 20, 2023You won’t hear me talk this highly about a ‘Souls-like’ game ever and that should speak volumes to just how good Remnant 2 really is. Any sequel worth its salt should look to improve upon what the original did before it, and that is one thing that Gunfire Games has certainly done with Remnant 2. The entire game feels like a love letter to fans of the original with new systems and classes, improved features and gunplay and the solid co-op gameplay. I just wish the narrative was as polished as the rest of this package though, here’s hoping we get a Remnant 3 where that wrong is righted.

Jul 31, 2023Remnant 2 is not only an excellent Dark Souls-inspired shooter, but it boasts an incredible amount of creativity and ingenuity, the likes of which we’ve not seen in quite a while. It’s a game full of wonder, mystery, and will keep you on the edge of your seat... even when you're getting your ass handed to you!
-
Jul 31, 2023Remnant 2 is the classic "bigger, bolder, better" sequel, that iterates on the formula of the previous game making it much better in almost every way. It's a very solid effort and a recommended option for a lot of different categories: looter shooter fans, Soulslike lovers and people who like to replay their games as long as possible.

Jul 30, 2023Remnant 2 marks a great milestone for Gunfire Games. Improving on every aspect of the past chapter, the studio hasn't ever been so close to the ideal formula of its recent IP. The mixture of soulslike mechanics and the soul of a third person shooter works like a charm, not to mention it further intertwines with deep exploration and a huge progression system. Once the last uncertainties in the mechanical backbone will be fixed, the Remnant saga will be able to stand above its competitors. It's not the perfect game, but one of the most fun experiences in the whole year.

Aug 21, 2023The gameplay is what really stands out. This is because you can be incredibly creative with the build you create, which can provide endless variety. In addition, the soundtrack is great, the bosses are good and there is plenty to do. All things that make the game worthwhile. At the same time, the story is not very interesting and there are technical issues that sometimes get in the way of enjoyment. A bit of a shame in an otherwise decent gaming experience.

Jul 27, 2023It is clear that Remnant 2 has made some concessions. This is particularly true as regards the narrative and the rushed main plot. On the other hand, the gameplay has been enriched, particularly during boss battles. Compared to the previous episode, the art direction is far more polished and immersive. Similarly to its predecessor, Remnant 2 is a 3rd person shooter with classic but effective RPG mechanics, sprinkled with a dash of Dark Souls for a welcome and controlled challenge. Our first run lasted around twenty hours, and our feeling at the end of the final sequence was close to: “already!?” The adventure mode and procedural world offer great replayability, and we cannot wait to get back to the game when future DLC will come.
