Remnant: From the Ashes is a decent enough game which I would readily recommend if it wasn't for the absolutely ABYSMAL level design. The story-map on which you play contains a variety of areas from a pool of bosses, mini-bosses and random events which give you items (weapons/armor/rings). If you want to get every item in the game you have to go the main hub and spawn a "side world" which contain one boss, mini-boss …

Remnant is a souls-like shooter RPG, taking an interesting spin on the traditional renowned formula. Unlike a traditional souls-like, one is given access to a wide array of ranged weapons. The ranged gameplay is a methodical ordeal, as clear ammo management and controlled spacing will become quite invaluable - enemy reinforcement waves led by officer units can cause devastating damage in melee range. Remnant shines …

Probably my favourite third-person shooter, the guns just feel great to use and character movement is so fluid. Love the setting/lore, love the enemy designs and world aestetics, love the awesome weapons and mods and the fact the mods even visually alter the weapons looks, love all the character build options. Crazy amount of replay value too, the main campaign will be different every time, even different area's, …

This is overall a decent game, but falls short of the "Souls-like with Guns" a lot of places claim it to be; it's more souls-lite instead of souls-like. Most normal enemies drop in one or two shots, with difficulty in normal encounters coming from the amount of enemies rather then the strength of the enemies themselves. Some people will prefer this over the stronger normal enemies of most souls-likes, but for me it …

Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person action shooter built on procedural world layouts and high difficulty. The player faces an invasion of corrupt creatures called the Root and travels between realms to stop the spread. The story is minimal and acts mainly as context for combat progression and exploration. Core gameplay blends ranged and melee attacks. Weapons have mod slots that grant abilities like summoning …

79% of the 247 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Remnant: From the Ashes. The complaint that keeps coming up: boss fights often rely on annoying enemy spawns. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Remnant: From the Ashes received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, while the Nintendo Switch version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. IGN scored the game an 8/10, stating, "Remnant: From the Ashes delivers a beautifully deranged vision of the apocalypse that's overflowing with twisted creatures hellbent on making you suffer. The thrill of finally beating a boss that's had your number for hours is right up there with the Dark Souls games that so clearly inspired it, though the underwhelming gear system sometimes brings down the high of overcoming the frequent difficulty spikes. Overall, it's a solid game that offers one of the…

neutral · AI labelView post →I want to start by saying this is genuinely a good game. The gameplay, mechanics, and overall design are fun, and I’ve enjoyed a lot of it. That said, there’s a serious balance issue that’s making it frustrating instead of challenging. In the section where you have to protect the Root Mother, she dies almost instantly when shot. I’ve tried this part around eight times, and it feels impossible. I stand in front of her, I try to clear enemies as fast as I can, but near the end an archer…

Also Remnant 2 has like three games worth of content and you'll only see one in any given playthrough. You'll often get whole different story arcs in replays.

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is super repetitive, mechanically its not that interesting, most bosses are just a big junk of health points that spawn a few mobs and in between you jump to dodge what you can, in between bosses areas filled with the same monsters over and over so you get bored already since there is not much strategy or pattern
