Remnant 2 - Before You Buy

Remnant 2 (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S) is a co-op looter shooter with a creative spin. How is it? Let's talk.

I absolutely loved the first remnant. Different rewards depending on how you took certain bosses down, which led to some serially long sessions trying to beat the bosses the exact way, randomized boss encounters and souls like combat and saving. The story was light but interesting still, and the different worlds you went to were fun. If Remnant 2 is more of the same, I'd be happy.

A big aspect is the procedural generation. Instead of just reorganizing things randomly like most games, the realms actually have multiple map bases on them so things feel fresh. Sometimes you're in the slums in a realm, other times you're in the palace area, there are also multiple stories in each realm so you get a different overall experience every time. It's pretty interesting actually.

I really enjoyed Remnant I. I really enjoyed how alternate methods of defeating bosses gave different rewards. The same goes for certain side quests. I do hope that the RNG is tweaked some. Having to re-roll worlds because I need an amulet or ring for a build that only appears in specific situations on specific maps was more tedious than necessary.

I actually don’t buy a game anymore before gameranx drops a before you buy✨

I went into Remnant and Before the Ashes blind and it became one of my favorite games of all time. I’m looking forward to this one. Well worth it, yallz. Lots of replayability.

Loved the first one, put probably over 100 hours in with my sniper/crit build. One of the issues I had was it being really hard to play solo bc I just get one- or two-shotted by 75%+ of enemies due to how my build was structured, so I'm really excited to see how the build system has improved and evolved. I played it on PS4 with two buddies after it was a monthly game back in Summer 2021, and we loved it so much we bought all the DLC and replayed it a few times. One of the biggest reasons I finally bit the bullet on upgrading to a PS5 recently was to be able to play this game as well with those same buddies (PLEASE indie devs, find a way to do crossplay on co-op first games!).

Beyond pumped to dive back in!

You are always giving a real gamer feedback without being overhyped. Thank you Jake

Remnant from the ashes felt like a love letter to gamers. It truly felt like the devs made the game for fun rather than money. It was one of the few games where i bought the dlc to support the devs rather than serve my own gamer needs. Gunfire games had lightning in a bottle with the first one and Im so pumped that they are seemingly giving us a beefed up version of what i already adored.

The first remnant was one of the best games I have ever played. Drop in and out co-op, so it’s easy to play with friends and you actually get experience and loot from other worlds. So excited for this game. Highly, highly recommend.

Loved the first one, was super happy when they announced this one since I wasn’t expecting a sequel

400 hours in first one, absolutely loved it. Pre-ordered this and CAN NOT WAIT to start playing it tomorrow on PC!

[nicoollilainen]

Super stoked to play this! First one was an absolute gem and one of my fav games off all time!

I loved the 1st one as it was a hidden gem for my crew. We didn’t expect the level of fun and replay-ability it had so I’m excited for this part 2 with better graphics!

Although the main campaign story is generic, the side stories within each world you explore, notably Losomn (the Bloodborne world), are exceptional. These side stories include; an Asylum filled with a race who are being hunted by a mystical creature in their dreams, NPC’s that request you to track down their lost loved ones, a preacher type character who has tasked himself with saving an entire planet and, depending on your choices, the outcomes may be drastic. To disregard story elements such as these is a disservice to what Remnant 2 has to offer.

I decided to give this a try after all of the glowing reviews - I’ve played quite a bit of Elden Ring, so I thought that the ‘souls like’ difficulty wouldn’t put me off. Played about half an hour before running into my first major boss - some sort of sewer blob thing. You have to run around a series of walkways and pillars to be able to get a line of site on it, but if you make one wrong step, you fall off into a sea of millions of smaller blob creatures, and then have to proceed to try and find a ladder in darkness to climb back up to shoot at the boss again. Meanwhile, the boss is firing lasers, homing missile attacks, and homing exploding orbs, all of which deal massive amounts of damage. Every time I got back up to shoot at the boss, I’d get knocked off again a few seconds later, which meant that stuff was constantly dealing damage to me, whilst I was barely able to do any at all.

After about 12 failed attempts and not even reaching half the bosses health, I turned the game off. It’s difficult - but it felt unfairly difficult, to the point where I felt like I wasn’t even having fun anymore.

Went into the first game with my friend, and we had a blast. We both ended up Platinuming the game, and it became one of our favorite games.

[erkhanon]

For a solo player, this feels like a total different game. It's at least 3x harder

[rockettedelux]

Remnant before the ashes was and has been one of my favourite games since 2019, extremely excited for this, sorry you didnt spend enough time in the last one honestly a gem.

I had never even heard of the first game until last week. I saw a video about the second one coming out and checked out the first one on the PS store. Apparently it was already added in my PS library for free. I downloaded it and gave it a try, I have been hooked ever since, such a fine game. Looking forward to part 2!!!

[evanphelan]

Got the first game for free with ps plus… honestly one of the good games that I played… very underrated… looking forward to this one!
