Remnant 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on PC. Also available on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.
It’s astounding to think that if I were to create a list of my favorite soulslikes, my favorite looter shooters, and my favorite procedurally generated games, Remnant 2 would appear on all of those lists. This is a triumphant sequel that doesn’t just reimagine the soulslike genre as a co-op looter-shooter, but absolutely nails that concept in nearly every way - including many that the original did not. With completely engrossing combat, challenging and memorable boss fights, ultra-dense buildcrafting options, incredibly cool procedurally generated levels, and a clever multiversal concept that allows for a ton of different adventures in one package, it’s very likely going to become one of my most-played games this year. No matter which part of the multiverse you find yourself in, you should do yourself a favor and play this gem.

Dude the first one is honestly more brutal than the first. The second has an Elden like approach so it’s more approachable to the causal gamer while still building and adding onto the systems already in place. I’m replaying the first one now and it deserves a solid 7.9-8.2. 2 getting a 9 is poetic Justice at its fullest. More weapons, powers, armors, mods, etc make the second one a BEAST

So funny to believe that they crafted Remnant 2 from a game that was a loose sequel to a weird VR action RPG that had essentially none of the traits of these two titles. Gunfire Games really took the ball and ran with it and scored. From the sounds of it, they did that twice.
