Solo Friendly?

[BrianRubin]

Hello friends. I'm writing to ask if this game appears more solo player friendly than the first. I loved the idea of the first game but playing by one's self seemed terribly misstuned. I was therefore hoping someone could comment on how friendly this game is to the solo player.

Thank you for your time.

So far it seems about the same, but I haven't tried the Handler yet which gets a auto revive via the companion. As a Field Medic it has been fine.

I've played through the first game solo. It's not an easy game, but it was always fair. I suck at Souls-likes so i don't think this should be easier. Don't want it to be harder either.

I'm not too far in but seems about the same.
The Handler's Doggo lured the wife in this time, so at least I've got Duo options for this game.

Nearly 9 hours in playing solo and it's not been too bad. I think if you stuck to normal you'd be fine. If you struggle maybe try the handler class as your dog can revive you every two minutes or so in exchange for a dragon heart.

Go Handler/Summoner(look up Boomstick Gaming's video at 6.20 in for Summoner unlock how to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8df-BLPi-8 ) or Handler/Medic for less pressure when solo'ing

way more friendly, at no point did i feel it was unfair or unbalanced, it was definately hard at stages but after a few levels completed you become more than strong enough to carry on. this game is much easier and more enjoyable than other similar souls like titles. i would say twice as good as the first.

If you mix handler with summoner it's cake solo.

its not solo friendly, there's no fun in constantly spawning enemies and elites, you have to build your character in a way that makes it even less fun. I should have known better after Remnant 1

Ye i agreed with one of commentators above that its feels like challenge game and can annoy you but its not extreme challenge its not insanity and didn't feel like devs hate their players so ye. And i played at easiest difficulty and still died many times in one of dungeons of this location which have Bloodborne vibes

It's soloable. Though right now I'm in a dungeon where the end part is making want to rage a bit since it's last fight is practically a messy horde mode, which currently underleveled is a real pita with that damn corpse ball in the mix considering the lack of room to move. But otherwise it's been more enjoyable though really rough to get started. Since can't take five steps without spawning a horde and an elite... at least in N'Erud that is...

[BrianRubin]

Thanks so much for the feedback so far, everyone!

Hunter on vet seems pretty unfair solo on certain bosses. Basically no time to heal while adds interrupt and you cant hide behind a wall to heal since a lot of elite mobs attack through walls.

I don't feel like its solo friendly. Im not an expert of the game by far. But if the first level is where I die more than 5 times because they think its fun to be overwhelmed by burning enemies a tank eliite and lantern elite. Im not even on the hardest difficulty, why is the starting area where people are learning their new character full of harsh elites on a normal difficulty? It isn't a boss, it isn't a rare encounter. Its bullshittery of Im gonna poison, set you on fire, and hit you hard so you use all your dragonhearts before you even fight a boss.

Im ok with challenging bosses . Challenging mobs are retarded, nobody needs tanky mobs. The idea that you have to use all your bullets to kill one elite mob seems dumb. Especially if the enemy doesn't have a weakpoint which i thought was the point of this game. To utilize weak points.

i just got my hands on it today and i played alot of the first one entirely solo and had minor issues. However in this one i chose to bump it up one difficulty and its pretty unforgiving so far. elites get spammed, your health is really minor and i feel like even when i roll hits still go through because they hit upwards of 5 times. the current boss im on rolls around and is in the first part of the game. i used all of my ammo on him and he was only down by 25%. the mechanic is you have to hit him to break armor then hit the weak spot. completely made for co op since by the time i get some of it down the armor has respawned. edit: i have discovered some bosses have a modifer that allows them to heal when you do so if your solo that means your not allowed to heal.

It seems pretty solo-able imo. I'm playing on Veteran/Hard and just got to my 4th world about 12hrs in. Honestly for me the only major time I've gotten really frustrated was one fo the end world bosses for my first world The Corruptor. Trying not to spoil it, there's a massive attack it does that I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to prevent and it would take me from full to 5% hp so I had to always be full hp when he did it then just dps spam it to get the kill. Took me a solid 10 or so attempts to pull off but besides that rest of the game has been very manageable as a solo Challenger main with handler secondary class,
