Remnant II Reviews
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 is a great evolution of ideas from the first installment, making each adventure feel unique in its own way. It is one of the few Soulslike games with full co-op.

Remnant 2 is a massive improvement over its predecessor thanks to fine-tuned gunplay, build customization, the massive amount of content, and excellent co-op support. It’s been a while since we’ve played a co-op action title that feels like it deserves the asking price (looking at you, Darktide). Whether you’re a Souls veteran or a casual player, Remnant 2 has something for you in store.
Remnant 2 is an enticing action role-playing game that offers a formidable challenge. Its multitude of appealing qualities will leave you torn, making it exceedingly difficult to step away from the controller. Undoubtedly, Remnant 2 stands as one of the standout games of the year, with the potential to captivate your attention for an extended period.

And this is what I was referring to right at the beginning.
Remnant 2 is the closest thing to a perfect sequel as far as video games are concerned. It strikes that delicate balance of remaining faithful to the game that came before it while branching out in hopes of not being called a DLC for the game before. If you have played and loved the first Remnant game, you owe it to yourself to experience Remnant 2 sometime in the near future.
Remnant II is a great example of what a sequel should be. It takes advantage of the original's well done elements and adds more to them with a deeper trait system, more weapons, and equipment to suit the player's playstyle.

Remnant 2 delivers a well-deserved sequel that delivers on making every aspect of the original game all the better. While the story is serviceable at best, and performance issues hold it back from being truly legendary, it's an absolute must for fans of the genre.
Remnant 2 takes up the good work done by its predecessor, expanding it, improving it in almost every aspect and smoothing out the rough edges.

Remnant 2 is the perfect example of how a sequel should be developed, expanding and enhancing the original experience in every respect but without distorting it.

Despite, once again, a few technical hiccups, Remnant II is definitely a success for Gunfire Games. With a ton of new content and improvements of all kinds, the game is a delight to complete alone or with friends. Remnant II is an oddity. A game that borrows from whomever it can, shamelessly, and manages to turn expectations on their head. From the varied aesthetics of the worlds to the bewitching boss battles, the game surprises time and again and is a pleasure to replay.

Remnant II is, without a doubt, one of the best looter-shooters today. A very well thought out, fun and challenging title whether in a solo adventure or in a shared adventure with up to two other players with content for dozens of hours. And... with three DLC planned to continue this brilliant ARPG, I don't see why it can't grow and provide more and more hours of fun. A game that I highly recommend to all fans of this genre of games!

The sequel to 2019's Souls-like shooter is a blast with polished gameplay, fun bosses, excellent co-op, and more variety than its predecessor.
Remnant 2 is one of the most important games this year, all thanks to it's brilliantly designed rogue like mechanics and fun co-op experience with a world filled with secrets and exhilarating boss fights.

I wanted to love this game, I really did. The team at Gunfire Games clearly poured a lot of love and lessons learned into this game, and they were kind enough to provide us with 3 codes for Remnant 2 so we could get effective co-op testing in. Unfortunately, a combination of some mechanics pulling the game down, as well as one of the biggest years for new releases EVER lead to Remnant 2 falling behind and getting a bit lost in the shuffle.
If you're looking for a game that can challenge you and where you can spend many hours of fun exploding animated driftwood, alien zombies, and elves with muskets while collecting tons of loot - then welcome to Remnant 2.
Remnant II is fortunately an improvement in nearly all respects, expanding on the the first game in interesting ways that push greater player agency and cooperative engagement while maintaining the same tight gun play. In that same breath, the problems from the first game are still present, though to varying degrees of annoyance.
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!
Remnant II is exactly what I was looking for. A straightforward soulslike shooter, that takes everything that made the predecessor work and fixed the few things that didn’t. The plot may still be a bit thin, but exploring the interesting worlds and fighting the bosses to get some great loot has been one of this year’s best experiences.
It was not a surprise and it has been again for many. We almost hurt that the launch of Baldur's Gate 3 has come so close and has suddenly stopped talking about how incredibly well Gunfire Games has turned out the second part of its way of understanding a soulslike. Remnant 2 retains all the fun of the original, the procedural maps, the fun bosses at the end of the phase and still manages to twist its formula with some details that strengthen and lengthen it in an incredible way.
