Remnant 2 Review Thread

[JamieSI]

Here's all the reviews we've spotted across the net, just place them in the comments if you spot any that we're missing.

GameWatcher[www.gamewatcher.com] gives it 7.5/10:

"Remnant 2's revamped archetype system and improved world generation breathe new life into what otherwise remains an iterative sequel that sees no need to fix what isn't broken. Great gunplay and creative weapon mods fuel its addictive moment-to-moment gameplay, while offering enough reasons to keep clearing dungeons, grinding materials, and upgrading or trying out new guns.

But as much as it's a better game than its predecessor and one whose action scratches that itch for a challenging third-person shooter, less than ideal optimization, forgettable characters, and clumsy writing, alongside a suite of hit-or-miss bosses keep it just shy of greatness."

Good VS Bad:

+Satisfying Gunplay
+Improved world generation
+Revamped archetype system facilitates different playstyles
+Visual variety
-Hit-or-miss bosses
-Frame drops can artificially raise difficulty
-Forgettable characters, cliche story

IGN gives it a 9/10.

"It’s astounding to think that if I were to create a list of my favorite soulslikes, my favorite looter shooters, and my favorite procedurally generated games, Remnant 2 would appear on all of those lists. This is a triumphant sequel that doesn’t just reimagine the soulslike genre as a co-op looter-shooter, but absolutely nails that concept in nearly every way – including many that the original did not. With completely engrossing combat, challenging and memorable boss fights, ultra-dense buildcrafting options, incredibly cool procedurally generated levels, and a clever multiversal concept that allows for a ton of different adventures in one package, it’s very likely going to become one of my most-played games this year. No matter which part of the multiverse you find yourself in, you should do yourself a favor and play this gem."

GameSpot[www.gamespot.com] gives it a 7/10:

"Remnant 2 is exactly what you want from a sequel, such is the way it expands and improves upon the first game's ideas. It's not likely to blow you away, but the core gameplay loop--built on rewarding combat, an ever-expanding repertoire of skills and abilities, and the randomness of its procedural generation--latches on and refuses to let go. The final realm is disappointing because of an artificial difficulty spike, and the story is still lackluster and easy to ignore, but those looking for a solid and malleable shooter won't go far wrong with Remnant 2."

[Gonsnakex]

Most reviews have a high score and op chooses the bad ones lol

Seems to be more of what made From The Ashes great with some extras.

I am sold.

If I remember correctly the characters in the first game weren't that interesting either. The story wasn't all that interesting too. I though the ending was so anti climatic.

But the gameplay was tight and fun.

ACG liked it...says it's a Buy if you don't want to spoil the game.

THose reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt. Games will appeal differently to different people and those reviews are never truly objective.

Thanks, Sherlock. Objectivity doesn't exist when it comes to opinions.

You read reviews of people that you have the most common ground with and decide to buy or not from there.

Opinions and reviews are not the same. I still do not trust reviews even if I have "common ground" as you speak, because for majority I still wouldn't agree with their review.

-Forgettable characters, cliche story

Same as the first game and this didn't hurt my enjoyment in any way. *shrugs*
