Our Remnant 2 review is here - how does the shooter-focused Soulslike sequel fare, with unique storylines every time you play? Remnant2 Remnant_Game_EU AgencyDiva
Remnant: From the Ashes was something of a surprise hit upon its release in 2019, although in retrospect, it shouldn’t have been. Combining the methodical, challenging approach required of a Soulslike with fast-paced gunplay was always going to be a recipe for success. With Remnant 2, Gunfire Games have tinkered with the formula, improving on what the original did best, and to great effect.
Many of the quests you find in each biome are not particularly long or complex but are interesting enough to really pull you in. You’ll visit many areas that have fallen prey to otherworldly powers, or places so alien that you can’t begin to understand them. Each character is splendidly voice-acted, and offers tidbits of lore, telling the story of each location.
The game’s combat is largely similar to that of the original, but distinctly improved. While it is gun-based, much of the combat feels like that of a Souls game. Enemies have distinct attack patterns, which you can exploit with a timely dodge, the only difference being that you have a gun rather than a sword, though, naturally you can choose to simply pick off enemies from afar, like your typical shooter.
The game is patently designed to be a multiplayer experience and can be taken on in groups of up to three. Alas, the path of a reviewer is a lonely one, so I was forced to take the game on by my lonesome. And while the game is certainly fun alone, there are times when you do feel the burden of not playing with others. With nobody else to attack, you are vulnerable to being overwhelmed by enemies. This, in turn, has the effect of making some weapons feel almost totally unviable in solo play.
A key part of combat is weapon mods, and the learning curve that comes with them. These are special abilities that you equip to your weapon, with effects such as shooting flaming ammo, dropping poisonous spikes, creating a healing zone and more. It’s fun to try out a new mod, and tailoring them to your playstyle makes the combat feel even more rewarding. Similarly, you can attach Mutations to your weapons, providing certain perks like faster reload speed or increased damage under 50% health.
