    Good 80 hours experience. But to be honest, some puzzles have no corresponding clue at all. And playing repeated contents is really annoying. By the way, balance between different builds is not good enough.

    I loved remnant from the ashes and played it over two consoles for many many hours but a lot of the time the bugs made it difficult to play and lack of server stability made it impossible to play hardcore mode. Prior to Remnant 2 coming out I emailed gunfire and asked on Reddit if the many bugs I had experienced were going to be addressed in the sequel and I got no response.

Prior to Remnant 2 coming out I emailed gunfire and asked on Reddit if the many bugs I had experienced were going to be addressed in the sequel and I got no response. I was hesitant to purchase but my husband decided to risk it and sadly we have had all the same bugs from the first game. We have ultra fast fibre to the home but server stability is still terrible, many issues with multiplayer bugs, often seeing entirely different things on our screens next to each other, constant crashes, stuck in terrain, stuck in game mechanics like door opening, boss fights just stopping progress halfway through, events needed to progress in a dungeon not triggering resulting in having to restart the campaign, button presses regularly do not register leading me to try many different controllers which made no difference. Am currently using fully wired controller and internet and still have to repeatedly press to get a response which ultimately leads to me dying. I emailed gunfire about these issues and got no response again which I am very frustrated about. I am so disappointed with the state of the game and the fact I have the exact same bugs as FTA. I do like the mixing up of the world's and bosses available now but at the same time I don't feel like the story flows quite as well in this one as in Ashes.… Expand

    You 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.

    Remnant 2 takes up the good work done by its predecessor, expanding it, improving it in almost every aspect and smoothing out the rough edges.

    The 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.
