Remnant II

9/10

You don’t need me to tell you how monolithic the Souls or even Souls-like genre is now. Kicking on for some time, we’ve now seen dozens upon dozens of games taking inspiration from the likes of FromSoftware games, or we’ve even seen downright copycats. Few become more than one-off attempts or pale imitations. Transcending this entirely is Remnant II, the follow-up to the wonderful 2019’s Remnant: From the Ashes. There’s a good reason that this is one of the only Soulslikes to get a...

Remnant II is a fantastic fantasy shooter, offering a dark and enticing series of worlds to explore, loot and conquer. Whether you’re playing solo or in co-op, this is easily one of the game experiences of the year.

I cannot have enough of Remnant II’s fantastic co-op gameplay, especially thanks to its intense replayability. However, I do wish there had been more emphasis on the story to have something to root for along the way!

When it was released in 2019, Remnant: From The Ashes was a flawed, but incredibly successful soulslike. Instead of simply copying the popular genre, Gunfire Games decided to do something different by turning the genre on its head and focusing more on gunplay. It’s also a game I’ve revisited on multiple occasions, thanks to its fantastic core gameplay, and unique and refreshing ideas. Due to its surprising success a sequel was inevitable but I didn’t expect it to be this good.

Remnant 2 is not only an excellent Dark Souls-inspired shooter, but it boasts an incredible amount of creativity and ingenuity, the likes of which we’ve not seen in quite a while. It’s a game full of wonder, mystery, and will keep you on the edge of your seat... even when you're getting your ass handed to you!

Remnant: From the Ashes turned out to be an unexpectedly good production, so I expected at least the same from the sequel. To my surprise, I got much more! Remnant 2 is a title definitely worth recommending to anyone who appreciates a challenge.

Gunfire Games returns to the world of Remnant with exactly the kind of sequel a fan of the first game would want. Now if only it could get storytelling up to the same quality.

Smashing onto the scene a few years back, Remnant: From The Ashes was a surprise hit from the folks at Gunfire Games and Gearbox Publishing . While there were definitely some rough edges in the game, it was unique and fun enough to play solo or with a friend. Now the same teams are back w

8/10

A superior sequel sees Gunfire Games push the Remnant series to new heights. Those heights cause some nosebleeds, but they’re worth it to experience one of the most interesting action RPG experiences I’ve had in recent years.

Remnant II gives players a brutal and beautiful odyssey across time and space. It won't hold your hand, it will barely tell you where you're going or how to get there, but the adventure is certainly one worth experiencing.

Remnant 2’s story is as obtuse as the secrets it keeps. But from a pure gameplay standpoint, it’s a phenomenal game and incredibly replayable whether you’re flying solo or with a couple of friends. It’s just a shame that so many of the game’s secrets were designed to be solved by a Google Search rather than the player.

Remnant II takes all the ideas that worked previously and doubles down on them to an extent that makes this a damn near-perfect sequel. While it doesn’t reinvent or add to the genre, Remnant II is nonetheless a damn impressive outing.
