TOP FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️ The gunplay is very snappy and satisfying.
⭐️ Bosses a fun and challenging.
⭐️ So many interesting weapons to choose from.
THE UNIQUES:
💎 The enemy design is refreshing.
💎 Weapons, perks and mods are all different.
PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼 Souls-Like.
💼 Action.
💼 Co-op.
PROS:
+ As a stated above, the enemy design is very unique, each area has a new set of enemies to fight along with different kind of elites, so each encounter feels slightly different from the last.
+ Again, I stated this above, the gunplay is so fun, with each weapon having a different mod, especially when finishing off a boss, I never settled for the same weapon, constantly changing and finding out what other weapons could do.
+ The atmosphere is very captivating, each area I went into, the mood was set almost instantly, this was also helped with how each enemy was designed for each map.
+ The loot felt rewarding, making you go back to kill the enemies again to collected the loot again! Beating a boss came with it's own rewards too.
CONS:
- Walls are not your friend, normally you can hide behind a wall for cover but with enemies/bosses that have a big melee range, the wall is pretty much invisible to them, I'm assuming this isn't a bug and the devs intended this to be a thing but I found this extremely annoying when needing to heal or applying a buff.
- The difficulty can be a learning curve, this is where the souls-like tag comes from, this isn't a major con but it might put some players off, especially playing solo, I for one enjoyed the challenge but if you're wanting an easier time, grab a friend and go through it with them.
- The content of the game seems to run out quickly, you'll get a few new encounters but this is purely RNG based, meaning you could go back 100's of times and not find that one item you've been looking for, kinda annoying.
- Story/lore went over my head, I didn't feel drawn into what was going on behind the scenes, nor did I overly care, the gameplay holds this game up by itself.
VERDICT:
I played this solo and enjoyed 80% of the game, choosing the right weapons and stats is a must when doing a run by yourself, this isn't much of an issue if you're playing with someone else. Overall I enjoyed myself playing this solo, the other 20% are all on the bosses, but it's many other bosses, learn their pattern and you'll eventually win.
The biggest downfall would be the lack of story that's around this game, personally it doesn't need it but a lot of people would say a good story always makes the gameplay 10x better.
I personally think this is worth the asking price, especially if you buy the bundle.
Total Score = 79/100.
OVERVIEW:
Remnant: From the Ashes takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been devastated and overrun by an interdimensional evil called the Root. The player is a wandering survivor of the apocalypse driven to put an end to the Root by traveling to a tower on an island that appears to be the epicenter of the invasion.

A good game with gameplay quite similar to a Souls like (with guns). The combat and the feeling of the weapons is pretty good. The game is quite short and the story isn't very good, but the original art direction makes up for it a little. I still had a good time playing it and I recommend it, but buy it when it's on sale.

The shooting feel and melee feel are good, the monster design is rather one-dimensional, but the bosses are all pretty well done, and the weapons and monsters are well-designed and very fun to play.

Diablo, Dark Souls, The Division and Hellgate London, mix them in a bowl and you get Remnant from the Ashes. In the game, Earth has been rendered uninhabitable by an invasion of demonic beings from multiple dimensions, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. As a member of the Remnant, the last surviving group of humans, we set out to find the place where the evil beings came from and put an end to it. The gameplay is a shooter with a mix of action, RPG, and spiritual genres. Throughout our adventure we will slaughter many creatures and strengthen ourselves by collecting crafting materials. The game features a Dark Souls-style boss fight at the end of each level, and even the entrance to the boss is the same as in Dark Souls. (We pass through a grey, foggy door and enter the boss's location). The game has a dark, fairytale-like art style, similar to Darksiders and Vampyr. I think it's quite nice. You can play the game either as a single player or in co-op.

Performance could be better at times but it's really solid still considering it does not utilise DLSS / FG.
It does a lot better than Remnant 2 - it also does a few things worse...
This Remnant actually has somewhat of a story though, it's DLC also had NEW areas rather than just reusing the same areas like it's sequel Remnant 2...
The best thing? "Survival" mode - it's a roguelike where you start from nothing but 1000 scrap and have access to a few shops that you and your party share. Limited weapons/armour and stuff, decide who wants what, make some crazy builds.
The effects in survival are buffed through the roof, the standard traits in story mode are amplified meaning you can have some crazy builds by mixing just a few of these traits.
Endless fun, even after finishing Remnant 1 and 2 multiple times, me and my friend still prefer Remnant 1 for survival.

Remnant is a brilliantly made game with a unique feel. I found myself doing some missions over and over, finding that I stayed up all night enjoying the rampaging and trying out same areas with new weapons and strategies.

The game was a problem free experience for me. I had long extended times in the game without any crashing. The graphics were done very well, as was the environment and interactions.

Remnant is a unique action based and story driven game that I highly recommend for those that like such games. I am looking forward to trying out the sequel soon.

Remnant: From the Ashes is a refreshing change from typical souls-like games, where you use firearms instead of swords, bows, etc. The game offers plenty of unique mechanics, and if you’re a fan of creating your own builds in souls games, this is something you’ll truly love. The game is fairly linear, but exploring the world can be very rewarding.
One thing the game definitely has going for it is its high replayability. The game is procedurally generated, so bosses and items you find will be different in each run. If you’re a fan of story-driven games, this isn’t the game for you. The story is very cliché and comes across as cheap and below average.
The game offers a wide range of difficulty settings, but they aren’t particularly interesting; they mostly just make monsters bigger bullet sponges. The boss designs themselves aren’t bad, but most boss fights rely on dealing with the adds the boss summons, rather than the boss itself.
The DLC worth buying is Subject 2923, which adds additional content to the game (new locations, bosses, and items).
However, if you’re looking for a game that stands out in this genre and will give you hours of fun (and rage moments) along with plenty of destroyed keyboards, Remnant: From the Ashes is a solid choice.
Pros:
- Unique gameplay
- High replayability
- Customizable builds
- Rewarding exploration
- Playable solo or in a group
Cons:
- The bosses rely heavily on adds.
- Higher difficulty just makes monsters bigger bullet sponges.
Overall rating: 7/10
