REMNANT II®

I really like this game. Great boss battles, great level design, great character improvement / leveling / perks or whatever to call it. Story more than passable so far. The art style is a huge positive too. Performance on my PC is also great. ~90 FPS native 1440p / ~120 FPS with FSR 4 @ Quality. All maxed out. Ryzen 9600x / Radeon RX 9070 XT

Such an incredible game. Gorgeous art design, fantastic combat / gameplay loop. Super good boss design. I absolutely love it. For anyone wondering, it's totally playable singleplayer. I've played it both ways now and had just as much fun either way. You'll almost for sure need the handler class if you're playing single player but there is a way pretty quickly in the game to multi class so you can choose whoever and still get the dog for revives. Play it. So good.

Me and my friends tried twice to get into this game, but it's systems and level design are beyond jaring, bad even. How they can see the problems with the first game and double down on the second. Ginormous maps with backtracking, lack of direction and goals, game punishes you for improving your gear and so on. It's just a big disapointment

I like it it's got a bunch of great bits part of it being walking through a dungeon then realizing it's a puzzle but in the best of ways

Remnant II builds upon the first game, taking the best elements and expanding them in what is a significant upgrade. The , environments, enemies and visuals look ten times better.

It’s one of the best co-op experiences to be had. And even when played solo, it gives you that same rush as the Souls-like games. Remnant I can be really tough, but beating a boss or making it through a brutal section feels amazing, both solo and in co-op. Every part of this game’s design is truly impressive and its awe inspiring how well optimised it is. I really recommend this to all fans of the genre and newcommers alike.

i think ive played this game enough to review it and i would have to say it has been one of the most fun games ive played. the story is great, the secrets are fun to unlock, and the enemies are all fun to fight (love the dialog for the dran). all the archetypes are super fun as well.

over all i love this game and would reccomend! 8/10

I played this game on release. I quickly decided to give it more time. I came back years later and:
The BIGGEST issue with this game is UI. Lets start by saying that I am informed about every fucking drop and I have to dismiss each one with a button - I dont know why does it work like that, its simply annoying. I also do not understand who came up with the idea of showing you those granular numbers. It would make more sense to say: 2% more dmg instead of 1,6779108923098 % more.
Whats more the mini map is also completely useless. I dont know where to go on, nothing is there, Im running like a headless chicken. Size of the map/level itself is another issue: they are too big, there are too few enemies, bosses are very rare. Game has simply very low pace in my opinion. When I played first installment, I had a really nice loop of: NPC interactions, fighting with mobs, fighting with boss, repeat. Im missing that here.
Bosses you encounter on the level (not the ones behind the curtain) are very underwhelming. Often being as simple as bullet sponges, they just bring frustration.
Im also not sure if adding so much spoken dialagos in a action game in the end was a good idea. I think dialogs could be a bit more concise.
Game has some good sides: graphics are nice, worlds can be interesting.
If I had to summarize my experience in one sentce Id say: I had a lot of fun with the first part of the game, and sadly mostly frustration with the second one.

Remnant II Is one of my favorite games to go back to. Combat is engaging and weighty. Story is excellent. And the random story assembly makes each run still show me new things. This is an upgrade of the original Remnant in every way. I cannot recommend this game enough.

One note, while you shoot in this game, it is not a Destiny style shooter. If you try to make it play that way, you will have a bad time. The shooting is fun, but dont try to fight the game. It is its own thing.

its good, it isnt perfect but overall the gameplay loop is fun and the RPG elements are fun.

I wanted to like this game SO BADLY. On the surface, it should have scratched a ton of itches that I love. After playing the game through with a friend, I have to admit that I was disappointed. The art direction is spectacular, but it feels like the design team, art team and writing team were all in different places and didn't communicate. The concept is so fun, but the game wanted us to care about characters that had all of 5 minutes of screentime. (Maybe that's better for people who played Remnant 1, but I haven't.) The bosses had cool designs and some of them even had neat mechanics, but those mechanics were often hidden or obscured by the art design. The character classes are unbalanced with each other, and the archetype system, while cool in concept, is never explained, so without any prior knowledge I didn't unlock a second class until far too late for it to be useful. The lore and worlds were conceptually awesome, but never had much depth given to them for them to feel like much more than "a video game level." The game has a huge loot pool, and sets itself up as if you'll be managing your loot a la Destiny, but then takes too much from the Soulslike design philosophy and dis-incentivizes you from actually using your new weapons. (Not to mention that each new world had one new armor set, and the overwhelming majority of loot was rings, which were fun for buildcrafting until you found a combo that worked for your playstyle and build, which made new loot increasingly less appealing.) Despite all of this, I was poised to recommend this game when played with friends, if not for how it ended. Without spoiling, the ending of the main plot was one of the messiest, trope-ridden climaxes I've played in a long time, riding on proper nouns and vague exclamations without explaining what the hell even happened. AND after all that, as soon as we beat the final boss and watched the credits, as the post-credits cinematic started, the game kicked me (the host) back to the character selection screen, and when I reloaded the worldstate was completely busted; my buddy's world had changed and presented new content, but mine was stuck in pre-final boss state (despite having the achievement and loot from it) and had eliminated the boss from the objectives, so I had no missions, and the final boss didn't spawn (as if the game thought I had already killed it, which we had). This completely soured my experience, so I can't in good conscience recommend this game. It's a shame, as the devs are clearly passionate and talented, but all the cool designs in the world can't make up for inbalanced design, unremarkable writing and game-ruining bugs.

Fantastic COOP experience. Great introduction to soulsborne games too

Good game, I liked the COP part so much.
Fuck other games who doenst allow CO OP with freinds.

Not an in-depth review here but this game rules. I had a great time playing thru it on the first go-round. Loved the atmosphere and the unique stories of each of the worlds. Roughly 50 hrs to beat it with a lot of extra time spent re-rolling several worlds. After some time, the mechanic gets repetitive in a way where I keep coming back to it just I need some shoot-em up action.

Shoot things loot things and kick some ass. If you liked the first game you'll like this one too. Although I think the first game did a lot of things right that weren't present in this game, but its a great time either way. It's been said to be a souls shooter, but its so much more than that.

90% of this game is spent running around in circles with only the vaguest of quest direction. Compared to the tight well designed maps of the first game, these maps are just wide open areas of nothing, infuriatingly tedious puzzles, and endless enemies that just exist to annoy you further. How you manage to go backwards in game development is surely a mystery to be studied.

Underwhelming, not enough loot, boring story, didnt add the roguelite from the first game which was the best part. Looks pretty. Wouldnt reccomend.

this feels like those old school sequels you'd get back in the day that just take the original game, make it more fluid, add in a few new mechanics, and give a good story for you to enjoy. I really like it although I wish it was a little less random with the world generation mechanics it employs.

You need a multiple PHDs to find the hidden Classes and Objects. 10/10 This game has made our friend group feel something that we had not felt in a very long time.

Goddamn good game. If you like builds and soulslike combat with guns then you're gonna be addicted for a while with this one.

The replayable story is an amazing addition to this game, aside from the different campaigns you can reroll, the DLC's in addition are an amazing play through.

the most fun I have ever had in a co-op game. If you have a couple friends who you game with, this game is a must.

Good game, really well made, had a lot of fun with it. Will go back at some point and do the DLC.

Amazing game with loads of content, & Builds are way too satisfying lol. I rate this a 10/10

really great, i love that you can replay the game many times and see different bosses. theres alot to do and explore. im already on my like 6th playthrough.

Actually I've been playing for 2Y+, Great Game, but I wish they add some communication agent, etc.,

Remnant 2 addresses the problem I had with the first game. Stamina does not drain when not in combat. Unfortunately, no control configuration for button remapping. Adding mods onto weapons is worse than Remnant 1.

A Dark Souls shooter with so many puzzles and secrets in each world. i feel crazy every time i walk past a wall, jump, or magic door that i didn't see the first time or the 7 other times. the secret classes are awesome to find and use, the guns are all unique, and the items to collect fills the looter shooter vibe. just try it out and explore

Solid Co-op Experience

One of the best souls like's I have played! Be aware it is focused on guns not melee. Fun but rewarding!

solid starting story, great replayability, and punishing higher diffficulties

Really fun gameplay and amazing environments.

Good, environments enemies and certain gameplay elements feel like a significant bump from the first game, but it's overall very similar.

solid game, great map, even greater bosses, nice weapons

Look I know how these games are: You are set out to save the entire world and NPCs just sit there and sell you stuff and don't help at all in anything else.

But the end fight is such a slap in the face. Not only do the NPCs not help at all, they literally stand outside the boss room and tell you to handle it. And the fight is 100% bullshit.

The game offers a lot of content to go through .overall very immersive and addictive to try new classes ,loadouts and weapons .trying to unlocks stuff has been a hassle as you would need to look it up .the DLCs are alright but offer sufficient content that can be combined with your next story mode playthrough .

So cool, very nice, pew pew. (Honestly, a great mix between souls-like, and destiny-like game play)

very overrated

it combines a average at best soulslike with very bad roguelike elements

Wonderful game. Very FromSoftware in terms of storytelling being relatively minimal and done through the environment as much as the characters. Skillful gameplay and endless replay value.

Fantastic game, its dark souls with guns, magic, summoning, and best played in co-op for giggles

Amazing Co-Op, and team Play- Very Top of the Line Graphics, make sure Your Rig can Handle It- Wow. Almost Goty, just want a Longer Campaign mode. Boss Battles are savage and not too hard. 4.5 Stars

Good game but this game is more of a tech test than a game because of trying to figure how to make it not crash from every loading screen and mid gameplay lmao

tl;dr, good game, the dlc's are a waste though. also shit engine

+ edit seems one of the mods i found actually has stabilized the game. it's not crash free but it's crashing way less than before.

I bought this on a whim, not really knowing the series. I didn't know it would be a randomly generated TPS souls-esque. I played the first game and had fun all the way until the final boss, which I can only describe as "Borderline BS" for a new player just wanting to finish the game. The second game cranks up the difficulty for most of the game, but not to that level. I haven't played much co-op.

This game is fun. It's not overly ambitious. As a fan of Looter Shooters, Souls, and Roguelikes, I feel like this game was made for me. I just wish there was more to the game. I've finished most of the game on nightmare and finished a survivor hardcore run. Beyond playing all the stories, the randomness makes it hard to get all the stuff you might want for a specific build in a single run.

Wonderful game, super replayable with tons of build variety and fun weapons/abilities. Great bosses (but also a couple terrible terrible bosses). Overall, 9/10

Banger, replayabe. Sometimes I will find a glitch that can be annoying, but otherwise fun. best played with friends. Plenty of cool hidden things to find, even when you thought u found em all.

One of the most underrated games I've ever played and I don't use that word lightly. It has amazing maps and bosses, so many weapons. Not sure on armor yet but I've barely cleared 3 maps in the game and there are a few more to get through. It genuinely feels like Warframe or Destiny without the bloat and just focuses on the action with much more simplistic survival crafting approach.

Totally sick.
Much like its predecessor, Remnant 2 offers a completely badass experience, with loads of shooting, looting, and occasional faun fluting.
Great combat, heaps of cool enemy designs, some totally awesome boss fights, amazing biomes, an absolutely goliath sized pile of items to be found, and a pretty decent story all rolled up into one tasty package.
I have spent many happy hours in this game, an can easily see others doing the same, whether that be alone or with a friend, because both are a great time.
Definitely a must play if you liked the original, I highly recommend it.

Only 5 or so hours in but me a friend were excited to play this game together. We got roughly 5 hours in before calling it for the night when I went to the title menu it straight up has set me back to when I finished the tutorial, 4 and half hours prior. I lost entirely all motivation to play the game, and after looking up a couple fixes, none worked (The only hopeful option being that it would reset it to my last playstate from when I last launched it, but we it was a 5 hour session from initial open so I lost everything regardless.). His save lost all world Data and he kept his gear, nothing else. Its killed all motivation for me to play it, and its unrefundable for him because we put 5 hours in. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE EARLY ACCESS SOMEHOW!! I do not plan on returning to this effectively ever, if not at the best, years from now, maybe.

Absolutely fantastic game honestly. 10/10 flawless. cant wait for the next one

good game, lots of content (secrets), boring alone. good for replaying (basically required). Don't see how people can put in 500 plus hours but the gameplay loop is decently fun, enough to get like at least 100 hours out of it.

A really fun game, once you get passed what is arguably the most boring and poorly written tutorial intro of any game I've ever seen.
