Remnant: From the Ashes

Recommended Posts

The game is definitely out now. Seems pretty promising. Looks like a combination of Dark Souls and Gears of War. Putting this one on my "To Play" list.

BJ! We need you defending us with the MG42!

I really enjoyed this one. More of a third person shooter than a typical third person action rpg. The dark souls comparisons are definitely valid because of the currency and ambience but the intangibles aren't there. The multiplayer is very well refined and the best way to play but solo is just fine. I was really disappointed with the lack of build variety. There is plenty of equipment and equipment variety but there are only a couple best build that everyone uses.

this is a shooty Souls-like. which means: soul-crushing difficulty and enemies that respawn every time you die. plus it's got procedurally generated levels, so forget about carefully crafted level design.

If you like exploring worlds. Its got that. Gives you a few to look at.  Really love the Art Direction. Randomized Levels so the level design is still interesting. Its a little different for everyone. No true proceduralization, and that's a good thing for this type of game.  Reminds me of Hellgate london. If that was actually a good game. This game does not hide its influences from dark souls to Lovecraft. It wears them proud on its chest.  For the lovecraftian side of things, less maddening horror, though some of the NPC have clearly seen more than any human should, and more  of the dimensional dreamscapes humans weren't meant to visit sort of vibe. Story starts out weak, but gets better.  Game is short (15-20 hours) but very replayable. Combat is pretty good.  Hard but not beat you over the head and murder family hard. Just a good challenge. Darksouls was a little too hard form me, is a step or two lower in difficulty, its nice being a gun distance way from danger.  Good customization.  Coop is fun.
