The adage about Remnant being "Dark Souls with guns", while true, misses a key element. The real victim of theft is Resident Evil 4, from whom the game's combat and pacing is entirely lifted.

The adage about Remnant being "Dark Souls with guns", while true, misses a key element. The real victim of theft is Resident Evil 4, from whom the game's combat and pacing is entirely lifted.
First things first, the combat is fun, flows well and allows for some chaotic set pieces. It feels great to dodge roll into an enemy and come up with your shotgun barrel pressed to their snout. Weapon variety isn't especially rich, but the build-out I had made work of Normal difficulty (after playing Sekiro, I needed the debrief).
I imagine Remnant would be much more enjoyable in co-op, and likely a better time than the disappointing Wolfenstein: Youngblood. However, on normal, I ended up booting other players and going offline - I didn't want a stranger just running ahead and doing the work for me.
The cons: the lore is not especially interesting, pockmarked with vagueries, pseudo-scifi claptrap and portentous nonsense. The characters straight up suck, particularly the grouchy engineer who would loudly announce each time I walked past that she wasn't in the mood for chat. Most annoyingly, as this is a "re-rollable" campaign with randomised level structure and bosses, a LOT of the level designs feel copy-pasted. You could argue that adds replayability, but considering it made ONE run feel tired, I can't see it improving a second.
Some of the bosses, too, are complete timewasting annoyances. Not challenging, but artificially hard, with too many fall risks and stun-lock chains. The worst was a blatant rip-off that merged Dark Souls' most forgettable bossfight (Moonlit Butterfly) with Demon's Souls' most frustrating (Maneater). Fuck them butterflies.
Dropped $15 on the DLC to see how it improves things. I don't regret my time with Remnant, but it's unlikely to stick in my memory like the games it so openly ripped off.

Great game and can't wait to play the sequel. The first world is the most dull but once you get past that and understand the game better it becomes awesome.

Just started Remnant again with a friend who is in for the first time and it's such a joy to find stuff I haven't seen before, despite the fact I've already logged in almost 80 hours. Being one of my gaming highlights of 2019, this gift just keeps giving. I'm thrilled to see what Gunfire Games has in store next.

An enjoyable co-op experience that I wouldn't wish to play again--at least for a while. Setting was interesting, but the story didn't really deliver. Trait system felt too thin, but they got the most of enemy encounters, the shooting, and the bosses SPOT-ON. In that way, it was often more fun moment-to-moment than a better game like Control, even …

Im only a few levels into this one. The tutorial is an absolute mess, but once I got it out of the way and could start getting a real co-op run going this has turned into a real diamond in the rough. I cannot see why I'd ever play it single player, but playing co-op lets us heal, rez, and …
Read moreIm only a few levels into this one. The tutorial is an absolute mess, but once I got it out of the way and could start getting a real co-op run going this has turned into a real diamond in the rough. I cannot see why I'd ever play it single player, but playing co-op lets us heal, rez, and buff eachother, and the game has a really smart and handy tool for pinging targets and items. The shared loot works really well, as well. It's not perfect, and there are going to be a lot of times where you get absolutely ganked because a big enemy catches you in a tight hallway, but the game really does not punish you much for death, so I'm in my element.

Free on Epic Store.
A game about killing monsters, I guess?

Felt super weighty and clunky, animations are way too long and it was difficult to feel like we ever had the ability to overcome any enemies. Dying never felt like our fault, and the game excels at giving too many challenges to handle at once. Boss fights are mostly unfun and it never felt like you got an "edge" like …

Dying never felt like our fault, and the game excels at giving too many challenges to handle at once. Boss fights are mostly unfun and it never felt like you got an "edge" like Souls games have. Soulslike in name only, as many of the Soulslike qualities are just control mechanisms. Upgrades, checkpointing, and other misc "soulslike" qualities are in plenty of RPGs. Nothing special here, probably go play Code Vein instead. I don't know, I haven't played it yet.

I really enjoyed the "non-zombie" post apocalyptical world with lots of varied environments. Spaceship-esque alien citadels, desert tundra with primitive tribes, decaying urban areas with tree monsters, and more. I got bored of the Division 2 in part because the environments and enemies were all the same. The Remnant world is so much more interesting.
The combat is tough but enjoyable... as long as you play multi-player. With solo I found the enemies were just too overwhelming, or I would just run out of bullets (and I wasn't missing a lot of shots). When you have a crew together the combat is more chaotic but a lot more fun.
There is something here that I like a lot yet still falling short of a great game. I find myself comparing it to Division 2 and noticing Divison's huge amount of polish and deeper crafting, exploration, and more. However I love the setting a lot more in Remnant and wish to see a sequel that had more.

This game looks interesting: https://store.steampowered.com/app/617290/Remnant_From_the_Ashes/
The world has been thrown into chaos by an ancient evil from another dimension. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you must set out alone or alongside up to two other survivors to face down hordes of deadly enemies to try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and retake what was lost.
