Remnant: From the Ashes has enough individuality that it stands on its own feet with the ideas it inherits from the Dark Souls series while giving its unique twist to some of them. It has its flaws, but don't let that distract you from an otherwise great game.

Remnant blends ideas from other great modern games, but doesn't feel like it's the exact copy of something. It's a great action game with some nice gameplay, and we can't wait to see what Gunfire Games cooks up next.

Whether going about your adventure solo, with friends or with two random strangers, Remnant: From the Ashes is a fairly well built experience. Taking the well known formula of a Soulborne and turning it into a third person shooter works as it provides a different experience from the norm. Assume (or just hope) that the bugs go away, but otherwise, this one is genuinely enjoyable.

Remnant from the ashes is a unique co-op experience that has successfully mixed various entertaining elements from different genres. Most notably, the game is extremely Inspired by soulsborne. So combat is very difficult and challenging and you need to be aware about some elements like stamina bar. Levels design are impressive and different type of melee weapons and firearms prevent gameplay from getting repetitive. Still some technical issues and bugs Are annoying. Most importantly, the game becomes unreasonably Difficult at some moments and boss fights, specially in solo mode. Nevertheless, Remnant From the ashes is undoubtedly one of the best Co-op games of 2019 so far.

Remnant: From the Ashes is far from a perfect game, and there are some glaring aspects that really put a damper on the title. That said, by the end of it all, you're still left with an incredibly solid third-person shooter mixed with challenging elements, all meshed incredibly well together for a passion project that oozes potential. Whether you're wandering the realms solo or with some friends, Remnant offers a thoroughly engaging experience that proves its developer's chops in making a solid action RPG title.

Remnant: From the Ashes is what Souls-Like games are about, an intense and nerve-wracking experience that test your skills against fierce monsters and gruesome bosses.

Remnant: From the Ashes is a special game that seeks to take the Souls formula a little further with a cooperative shooter proposal that fails to work in single player mode. Instead, in cooperative, the game makes sense

All in all, Remnant: From the Ashes is a solid attempt at changing up the Soulsborne formula. It doesn't quite hit the same marks that make From Software's franchise so delightful, but it has its own strengths. Co-op is a lot of fun, and having a game genuinely built around it is a welcome change from phantoms and the ilk. Remnant is at its strongest when you're playing with other people and working together to take on huge Root monsters or figure out the answer to a riddle. If you're looking for a co-op based Souls game, then Remnant is worth a look.

Remnant, is a solid action game that sells itself short with a terrible opening half-hour. Get through that though and there’s a lot to recommend in the solid gunplay and exploration of an intriguing setting. The Switch port, however, isn’t great and you can pick this up on other platforms for about half the price. If you’re dead set on handheld (and don’t own a Steamdeck…) then it’s still a bit of a tough sell at £35, but if you spot this in a sale and like the sound of shooting a bunch of Groot-clones through a ruined city and beyond then I think it’s certainly worth taking a chance on.
