Would recommend the whole game except for the cube mission. Whoever designed that, I wish steps on a pile of legos everyday.

There are very few games that have left as strong of an impression on me as Remnant II.
In essence, this is "Dark Souls with Guns", but it's just a rather lazy (albeit accurate) attempt to describe key combat gameplay.
I'd say there are three things that make this game as loved as it is: exploration, builds and replayability.
Exploration is the name of the game. This game has so many little secret rooms, puzzles and hidden mechanics for you to figure out, you can scour each inch of a location, find two amazing items, then look up a guide and realize you missed three or four more in that very place. Being attentive is key, and curiosity is rewarded.
Builds in Remnant 2 are much more varied than in the first game. You can build your character as a melee or ranged tank, as an ability or weapon mod "caster" or just go for the plain old pew-pew build (ok, to be fair, there are several ways to do a good pew-pew build as well). The amount of traits, items and mods in this game is impressive, and the ability to combine any two of the existing classes really gives you an impression that your build is limited by only your imagination. Some of those classes are hidden by rather obscure puzzles, but my is it a treat to finally find them! Oh, and you can respec at anytime and even save several builds and change those on the fly.
Finally, replayability. The game is built around randomly generating locations and no two playthroughs will be the same. First, there are two (three with DLC) versions of each of the three worlds, often showing you a different side to some conflict or conundrum this world is facing. Each world will feature random locations and there are often multiple ways to finish an event or kill a boss. One of the bosses has four different ways you can play out his fight, each yielding you a different reward. You would think playing through the same campaign will become boring, but you can actually at any time create a separate single-world "adventure" for you to try and see everything this game has to offer.
The game isn't perfect, sure.
If there is one weak part in this game, it's the plot of the main campaign. It's... lackluster,
But the plots of each world more than make up for it, especially when you visit each of the nine world versions.
In short, grab two of your friends, get this game and play through one of the most amazing co-op experiences in your life. And if you don't have friends, playing solo is completely possible (if not easier in some ways).
It's extremely fun, varied and well-crafted!

I proudly watched my Wife become great at this game, her first souls-like. We beat it together, through thick and thin.

This is the game you imagine you could play, when you lay in bed late at night wishing you could just find the awesomest game to play.

Amazing 3rd person shooter, played it all on co-op, and completed it on Apocalypse, has friendly fire and a lot of replayability. Achievements are not hard to unlock and game is a lot of fun. Requires dlcs.
Recommended 10/10

Absolute gem of a game.
What's great about it:
- Souls-like with guns
- The game really shines in co-op
- Boss fights that give you different experince and can present a challenge
- Quests and their rewards with 2-way choices
- A lot of secrets to find
- In comparison to the first Remnant, which is still worth playing, even though mechanics and engine of the game seems more-less the same, the developers really managed to create something that I would rather call Remnant ^2. Everything's bigger, better, improved and in higher quantities. Luckly, it's not too big, just at the right balance.
Give this game a chance.

Play with friends, and you can easily sink hundreds—if not a thousand—hours into this game. There’s never a dull moment or a mission that feels tedious. The grind for unique weapons and mutators might drive you crazy with all the rerolls, but it’s completely worth it when you step into a boss arena and feel yourself getting stronger with every fight. A fantastic game—I couldn’t praise it enough to do it justice.
