I think the craziest Glitch that's happened too me was when I finished playing the game the first time through it automatically uninstalled Destiny 2 for me.
LMAO! This is what my family and I are looking at as a replacement for D2. We stopped playing a few years ago because it just got so ridiculous, and we all talk from time to time about how much we miss the gameplay.
Small side note on the dog and the slime boss, if you double tap the ability it calls the dog to your side and they won't engage targets unless your attacked so you get to keep the heals close to you. That boss was still a pain though, but their overall design is pretty good on most of them. Great game and incredibly refreshing after the mess Diablo 4 is, makes you realize how a good a well thought out game can be without needing stuff like seasons
Been trying to find time to play this game... having a tiring full time job sucks. So far ive reached Nerud, and co-oped a bit. I gotta say, it's INSANE how much variety there is in this game. Amazing sound design, amazing combat, amazing build variety. This game is friggin CRACK.
Not a difficult boss but as a Handler you can send you dog over to The Huntress boss when she’s sleeping to attack her. She won’t wake up, easy win. I’m having a blast with the game but the bosses can really push my patience.
For the last boss, i also found it overwhelming and hard to avoid his attacks at first, but the best advice is LISTEN, don't look. Every attack has a very clear audio cue, and if you dodge when you hear it, you can avoid 90+% of his bullcrap.
as much as i love the last boss and soloed it on veteran i will say the second phase does have alot of blinding material. even though its up there with iishin sword saint from sekiro as one of my favorite bosses in any game.
This was a great review. I was on the fence with this one, but a buddy of mine was talking about trying it, and I think I'll pick it up after I'm done with BG3
I think Remnant, both 1 and 2, does an amazing job at conveying it's entire premise through gameplay. The game is about hopping around different worlds and the game is actually played like you are hopping through different worlds. Stories that you encounter through the game are grandiose, epic, about saving the world, helping the people or fighting the power, but in reality are fairly inconsequential, because they have no relation to you or your mission. You can learn about the world, you can read books or logs or ask questions to NPCs, but ultimately they are so far removed from you, you can only learn and related to them with outsider's fascination. Also, even tho i agree on that you can't use certain builds in all of the encounters, it's sorta kinda on you for relying solely on what you are good at. Don't get me wrong, my first character was a challenger tailored specifically for 1v1 unarmed combat. It had only 50-60% efficiency, since it was completely usless against flying bosses, including the final boss. And it was my fault for going "No, i will try hitting it with my fists, even if it kills me". Baseline - you got a gun and you got a dodge. Go get em.
I love this game, suck at finding secrets though. Rerolled a bunch to get stronger and beat the final boss. Still ended the game only finding one of the secret archetypes, and going back through some worlds finding out i missed 3 things for every one I found the first time through 😂
44:40 I know which boss you're talking about and you can get 3 different items from that boss fight going about it in 3 different ways. One of the best examples of a boss fight in this game, I absolutely love it.
Theres 4 ways, actually. Kill the red one when asked Kill the black one like usual Heal the red one and fight the black one. Start fighting the black one, rip a chunk of HP off of it, then kill the red one.
I loved playing through it, i didn't have anyone to coop with. The biggest issues for me where performance being poor, crashes, and the really low currency/material drop rate.
I saw a video showing a reddit posted by one of the head devs, the currency/material drops are probably getting increased. Also, some of the costs of things will be decreased.
loving this game, been playing for crazy amounts on pc and havent had any of the issues ruri mentions so far its my choice for goty, Armored core 6 will be the only competitor
This game caught me totally by surprise. I was expecting a fun distraction. Ended up being the best gaming experience of the year! Mega addictive and completely mind-blowing. Kudos to Gunfire Games.
This game should not have released in this state, and should have just gone the early access route, there are waaaaaay too many bugs. As someone nearing 100 hrs, the amount of small and large issues could fill out a 5 page essay. By the nature of the game, I don't think anyone who has less than 20 hours or hasnt finished a playthrough has experienced most of what is wrong with the game. Its really disappointing because a lot of the issues aren't new, they were in Remnant 1. The peer2peer connections, the desync, the mouse decceleration, the lack of loadouts, icon UI(despite being a huge problem in 1, and more than doubling the rings and amulets in 2), vendors breaking, items missing, missing rewards for completing game on hardest difficulties, misaligned audio, audio from enemies is inconsistent, game files being replaced by hosts save, no region selection so you often match with people accross the world, as a byproduct of peer2peer connections you constantly disconnect and then they for some reason removed the ability to join games from the start menu so now you have to load into your character every time you DC, scrap economy, broken trait rewards, negative traits, AI pathing is abysmmal for enemies and summons, missing archetypes for pre order users, and this is just the more technical side. Remnant 2 is a step up in almost every way and would've benefited from an actual early access release. I think people are in the honeymoon phase and due to the sheer size of the game and pathways, most bugs and issues will not have any effect on their experience which I hope doesn't get in the way of any patching.
Speaking of bandit mutator... that combined with enigma is so dang good And that final boss fight can be a pita. You almost gotta ignore your eyes and relay on your ears for that fight
9:45 I heard something like that on the chainsaw guys. It was so loud and it took me a while to figure out it was the sound of chainsaws going over and over and a very loud volume!!
One of the greatest things I always loved significantly about Remnant besides its great use of Procedurals was the sound design. I do not have the second Remnant yet but i do know i have played around 200 plus hrs of the first one and I am still going because I still have things i am looking for. The sound design is so good that you could literally tell every single type of enemy apart from each other because of how distinct the monsters idle noises were and enemy attacks were so clear and telling you could turn around and still literally tell EXACTLY when the enemy is about to attack and dodge or slide out of the way on instinct alone and that is insane. Monster designs win game of the year for me too because it's not often you get demon trees like the Root or the other monsters. Something else i love is how there is so much reason to go again. The different puzzles and quests, how some puzzles could need a item that had not even spawned with that puzzle, bosses having multiple styles of clears ( Iskal Queen fuck you btw but damn if that fight is not hard as balls ) and etc. So much Remnant does right in a way that makes it just perfect to drag someone into the game with you. Even if you go it alone you are in for a game that is worth its very considerate 40 dollar price tag. (for the first not the second that is 50) The devs give you all this gold all for a price that is very cheap compared to the triple As demanding 60 to 70 and that is insane.
This game has one of the craziest glitch ive seen in gaming. My friend was cooping with me and after a couple hours session we left. Next day my friends account is overwritten with my saved data....
Absolutely enjoying the game myself! There’s a few very minor things that I don’t care for, and I’ve had minor issues with performance and connectivity on PS5. But overall, this game is so much fun!
I was really considering buying this game because of what I've seen, but was still kinda on the fence about it. Not anymore. Thanks for convincing to spend my money, Ruri!
It's an amazing game. The exploration/world design is pretty damn crazy! Plus it looks gorgeous and is pure fun! Highly recommend going in blind. Avoid guides, make your own choices and enjoy the game
The final boss fight is amazing, once you learn how it works its one of the most fun fights in the game. The class complaints really only sounds like a Handler dog issue, can't really make 1 thing into a whole class issue when that isn't the case.
Beat the game fully with 2 dif characters and multiple friends on PC. LOVE THIS GAME. I have 73 hours of game play myself and Hope the expansion adds actual new content like a new world or something other then just classes and weapons. Also I have an I5 11400F with 32 gigs ddr5 and an RTX 2080TI and was luck to only ever have one minor glitch with the game crashing one time on me during multiplayer. Never ran into any audio or any other problems. They do still need to optimize it for lower end systems for sure because to play at 1440p with a consistent frame time I needed to use DLSS quality but then again they did say before it came out they built it for DLSS so it is what it is with that(they have done some decent optimization since release that I did notice for sure).
I've finished it myself. It's super fun, but I've experienced quite a few issues, heaps of crashes, and I've even had a save get corrupted, and it automatically deleted it once it happened. Despite the issues it's been great.
That was a beautiful review very helpful. I passed this up because of the “procedural generation dark souls with guns” which on first look sounded like “B tier money grab”. If they actually succeeded in making a good game like that, and I trust your judgment, that sounds amazing. I know you are a father and the one thing I wish you would add to your reviews is, “Can I play this in front of my kids.” For example I can play Elden Ring for the most part with my kids watching. It’s not a game for them to play, but if I turn off blood splatter there’s nothing too nightmarish. There’s no way I would play Bloodborne with my kids watching, however. I don’t think ratings systems are good at this because “blood” doesn’t necessarily make a game unacceptable for kids. Kids (mine anyways) are often okay with blood, it’s jump scares that are a problem, or story-wise if someone good has something really bad and unjust happen to them that can’t be fixed later.
The game is hard but funn. What Rurik did not mention is yes Co-Op whit random is there but no Text or Vois over ip. But for ppl that don't know the game, We have world A B and C that have 2 starts and ending, then we/game roll a D20 6 times to se the tile you ger and then roll a D20 4 times to see what even is there or not, and then roll the D20 agen to see where/tile the event is. So lets sat Erik found an Event that have good loot on C lets say C 12 - 3 and tell his friend off it, So Jake now whant the items so he goes to C but the event is not there in the mode calling Adventure mode, 20 reroll later he found the item on lets say C 18 - 8.
Was skeptical after all souls UA-camrs praised lords of the fallen (ended up being a disaster of a launch), but remnant 2 has been amazing. My favorite soulslike atm
Remnant 2 is one of those rare games that nails the core gameplay so well that you stop caring about the jank. My biggest frustration has been with network issues and afkers, but those things are only frustrating because I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME SO MUCH
Great explanation brother. My only minor complaint would be is I like my soulslike games to not have difficulty settings, I prefer 1 settings that represents the devs ideas of what they wanted to create not that plus toned down versions. And basically every game has difficulty settings, I love that soulslike games don't do what every other game does. But like I said it's only a minor complaint this game is dope AF
My favorite weapon is tied between the chicago type writer with the corrosive rounds and Nimue's bow, for hand gun it has to be the enigma, its just so handy. I ha ent found a melee weapon i like over the other weapons
I am going to continue to play diablo4 despite there shortcoming, destiny2, wow, remnants2, and any other games that catch my eyes. for me it's nice to have a collection of games to bounce between and i love all the games I meant.
Played the first Remnant and had a blast. Unfortunately when I got to the final boss, I got the negative trait bug and because my traits were below 10 I lost my 2nd archetype. I heard this happens if you joined someone with a modded game so it messes up your save. On my second character now and gonna try to get to the final level with the lowest level so I can blast through it by upgrading everything there
The gunplay and handling on this game is amazingly well done. The exploration is really rewarding. The re-playability is high. The co-op is a lot of fun. Now it works on ps5 me and my son have hammered it in co-op and it’s very very fun. Also when we’ve played solo we’ve had completely different experiences due to the RNG nature of the world building. Performance on consoles is average I’d say it’s fine solo but hit detection and a few latancy issues are evident in co-op and that’s from two people in the same house playing on full fibre wired connections. But overall it’s solid and the fact the ultimate edition with the dlcs is £55 it’s well worth the price I’d say. 8/10 my favourite multiplayer game that’s come out this year. My negative comment is the ps5 version has NO adaptive triggers I mean come ON! Have you seen some of these guns! I want adaptive triggers
Awesome game. Who have no perfomance issues i enjoy that at the fullest. I love how hard to get things in it realy make me play it over and over. I only got a bug what prevent me to do a side quest. Spoiler and help if you in the bloodborne section: When you found a sever and a npc hide behind bars. If you pick up the wisp thingy what posses you. Dont parkour back!!! It will break that quest peramently and you can only do it if you reroll the world.
My biggest problem with the game was the puzzles and how far out of the way any weapons and armor was. Either too hidden behind a gimmick or a convoluted questline that spans multiple worlds. 12 ish hour playthrough literally used the starting gear the entire time. There is a thing as too hidden imo Ik the game is centered around multiple playthroughs but Im not interested in that too many games out right now Id rather have a good onetime experience then come back for dlc and this didn't give me that. Had more fun in the 1st one tbh felt longer. Oh and the severe lack of upgrade materials and Money which re enforces the multiple playthrough thing/ rerolling. Hate when games force you to use a mechanic.
I'll watch the video when I get a chance but is this game soloable? I remember I dropped the first game playing solo because of bum rushing adds in boss encounters. That really put me off that game.
I soloed it. I used medic class as my main with handler as secondary class. You're a healer that has their own tank, which made my first playthrough pretty easy for the most part. P.s. The dog will spoil you
This wud be my fav game of all time if it run good on the ps5 . It shutters every now then and frames slow down when in a lot enemies swarm the screen . Imagine this dev team with a triple AAA budget
35:00 That's the only mutation I bothered to lvl to max, it definitely helps with large mag guns but I tried it on a gun with only 7 rounds in the mag with piercing shots so I would hit atleast 4 of the dummies in the practice range and it would cause me to some times gain more ammo than I use. I could watch it not proc a few shots then in a single shot proc on every target and jump me back to full.
32:16 I learned real quick to not use that mod in co-op with maxed out AoE and 0 friendly damage reduction. Was killing my friend on repeat so I had to swap it out. Super fun mod though, makes dealing with elites and hordes a lot easier.
Its crazy to see that they cramped so much oscure secrets and stuff in there. Reading descriptions of items here is worth the time (wich i dont do in souls games besides Bloodborne), the books, even tho some are quite dry, can mean quite a lot for the biome and riddles you have to make later, and lets dont even talk about the class unlocks. Even with those technical issues and few bugs i noticed its a total gem like the last one. Im gonna write a long time in my riddle book to have every weird interaction on paper to help friends find shit XD
I seem to be missing something with this. I don't think it's a bad game, but I got very bored after around 15 hours. Felt like the itemization was poor, like barely anything I was finding was worth it. There's not that many weapons to find, I probably found like 2 weapons in the world after 15 hours. I think I found like 2 traits in that time. Relic mods that offer 3% increases (so what). Some rings alter playstyles up a little but not much, most are worthless % increase stuff. Combat got stale fairly quickly on Veteran. If you keep up with the upgrades, you can just blast your way through the core game. But I've seem higher difficulty modes and it just feels like an exercise in damage sponging, which doesn't seem that interesting. A lot of the stuff with vast dual archetype builds does seem interesting after watching Phemeto's videos, but I dunno. It feels like it takes a long time to get there, and that it's more like a post-game thing that you keep wanting to play on with. Which isn't all that enticing when you've already seen enough after the end of the base game.
Some things i dont agree with especially the boss vs class problem. Sometimes you dont need the class itself and just shoot. as example challenger dont need to kill with melee on flying bosses he still got a weapon to use and that is 110% do-able. Ive been playing mostly gunslinger through my 150 hours and it is easy to say for me but i have had no problems what so ever. Also the procedural generation is misunderstood it is more like a procedural "selection" If i startet now and you startet now we would have a very big chance of seeing the same things not all of them but a whole lot of it. There is 2 stories for each world (3 worlds) which is 6 outcomes in total, and then there is some smaller "dungeons" that is selected aswell. But people calling it "generated" is kinda not true it is not like minecraft or valheim and so on. The worlds are already created and randomly picked by the game when you play through.
On PC 03:21, there is tech issues because is one on the first game running on UE5. So, yes, there is an insane "Depth of field" with very nice VFX effect and no pop up textures but the game can't stand 60 FPS on native 4K with my RTX 4080. Annyway, this game deserve his succes (1 Milions sellers already ) for the insane fun and addicting loop is giving us 🙂🎮
I really wanted to like the first game. But I just couldn't find a weapon and/or playstyle that I really like. Hopefully its different with Remnant 2 when I eventual play it.
This game is a prime example of quality over quantity, but theres still a lot of content. So many games are just about money nowadays, and remnant 2 is all about gameplay and fun. The combat is the best ive ever touched in any game. Edit: i never thought id say it but the bosses are even better designed than dark souls they seriously hit the nail right on the head with this game
Love this game. Ive been watching pally and ur vids on it. Only downside Ive experienced was crashes. I had to find the game file, set it to run as admin and run in windows 8 compatibility mode for some reason. I have a 3080 ti and the error was saying not enough video memory. It may need some optimization to avoid frustrating people on install. I run Destiny 2, Warzone and many other more graphics intensive games and never had this issue.
@@rurikhan That's cool. Was it on any of your streams I can watch? Took me a few hours to finally beat her solo. I even opened up my game to randoms and she was pooping on everyone. I was watching another streamer and she almost broke him lol
Just submitted a bug report on remnant discords. Gosh, it’s an awesome game but it’s loaded with billion crazy bugs. I think they released the game way too early
People compare it to the Souls Games but outside of the Meditation Checkpoints and Challenge/Difficulty, but that’s where the comparisons end. Remnant is like Third Person Diablo with Guns. It’s a more accurate comparison. I’m currently playing Remnant: From the Ashes and that’s my take away from the game is. Third Person Diablo with Guns.
It's a mish mash of various ideas, but I do think the bonfire-esque checkpoints, the punishing difficulty, and the focus on boss fights qualifies it as a soulslike with guns. That said, it's definitely on the fringes of the genre. I definitely don't think it's Diablo with guns. That would be a looter shooter, and while this has looter shooter elements loot drops are not a focus of this is game in the same way as something like Borderlands.
Malenia blade of miquela; after loosing my sanity with that fight in 3 play throughs and countless hours, and learning to cheese 🧀. I don’t know if I’m ready for another souls like. 😅
I have to disagree with the last boss, once I ignored all the extra stuff going on I was able to dodge nearly every hit. The extra visuals added to it for me.
Personally I'm not a big fan of the popular "Dark Souls with guns" narrative. I'm more inclined to compare it to the run-and-gun era Resident Evil games - yes, the "unpopular" ones - first, and a soulslike second. That might be a much harder sell without further explanations, but it's also more honest imo.
my gripe is that u can hippfier on pc its super annoying for carpo & that some of the class unlocks r to crazy the archon class WTF or u cant type/chat to party..... but its a good game :)
except,, there is major BUG in the game,,, I lost all my 47 skill points and my secondary character disappeared after I used orb to reset my skills after I spent 70 h in to it!
After the honeymoon I can say I enjoyed R1 way more. R2 is a good game no doubt but I don't really like the maps, too convoluted, too many lifts and locked doors to the point it just doesn't feel organic anymore. Plus the feeling of attrition praying you make it to the next save point is somehow gone, I dont really care about dying anymore bc all I lose is 3 minutes of time. The latter probably comes back in Hardcore but with the many issues there are I don't think I'll try that, won't lose my character after 200 hrs because a jump/ledge grab didn't register.
How this didn't get a GOTY nomination is insane to me. I know it doesn't stand a chance to win but it should be up there. As good as Spider-Man 2 is, it should not be up for GOTY.
Sir you are younger then me. I have no propblem dealing with all the chaos on screen. No offence but you need to up your game. Can't be having us old guys look bad 😅. Great game, great review, keep it up.
This being youtube I am almost hesitant to speak out. I am having issues to the degree that I will not support the game anymore and regret paying for the ultimate edition. What gave the final blow was the way the devs handle communication. I am moving on to armored core, which might end up game of the year for me.
its better to wait for the final patch to play this cause the 1st rem had 8,and it ran way better i beat it last year and didnt have any drops hardly and i was using a 3060
Went in knowing nothing, got my a$$ beat after refusing the request of the queen in the first world and ended up having to do the quest she asked me to do anyway - 9/10
I'm having a good time with it, but it's broken to shit and back. Playing the game solo even with the dog can also be a huge pain the ass, mainly due to needing to reload and not being able to.
Final boss is a bit iffy imo, way too many visual effects and most transitions removed both visual and audio indicators of attacks coming out of the transition too, which just made things worse still. It's not awful, but it sure ain't fantastic. Rest of the game's pretty good tho.
I absolutely tried to enjoy any time i had with remnant 2. 50 hours. the armor boils down to wear leto's armor or get 1 or 2 shot anytime, anywhere, any mob. Health trait, Damage reduction, Elemental Reduction means nothing. Just invest points into stam and stam regen so you can dodge the 1 shots which are everywhere. Played with friends who jerk off to this game and found myself not being able to use my aoe abilities cuz friendly fire is horrendous. Before you say use the dog! How bout just get rid of the absolutely stupid friendly fire damage. Most guns are pointless as are melee weapons. Scrap in this game is something you will be starved for even after 50 hours of play time if you dont want to exploit spam. The list goes on, but there is d4 scaling as well based on your current gear level so you never feel powerful. I genuinely hate this game.
Lots of guns, lots of mods, lots of rings, lot's of classes. Rem 2 don't have crazy dlc prices or b.s pay to win garbage. I had to work for everything and it was great getting it after work. The only bad things i can say is I hate some of the levels, and it's hard to run a class without having some sort of healing on, do i really need to carry every ring and gun?
I think the craziest Glitch that's happened too me was when I finished playing the game the first time through it automatically uninstalled Destiny 2 for me.
LMAO! This is what my family and I are looking at as a replacement for D2. We stopped playing a few years ago because it just got so ridiculous, and we all talk from time to time about how much we miss the gameplay.
😅😅😅
No way, you too?!
You didn't even mention the Ultimate edition including all 3 upcoming DLC releases. It wasn't just you paying for a 3 day head start. :/
Also you didn't mention that the pricing is cheaper compared to a "normal" game
Remnant is already inspiring other games, there's new game in development called Alterborn, the devs said that they were heavily inspired by Remnant.
alterborn is the first "Rem-Like" i love that
Small side note on the dog and the slime boss, if you double tap the ability it calls the dog to your side and they won't engage targets unless your attacked so you get to keep the heals close to you. That boss was still a pain though, but their overall design is pretty good on most of them.
Great game and incredibly refreshing after the mess Diablo 4 is, makes you realize how a good a well thought out game can be without needing stuff like seasons

The game is better than the on almost every level. *almost*.
Putting a cap on trait (60 points, yes... 60) was the worst decision for replayability.
All in all, you have 80 due to the 2 archetype traits, but it would be nice if they gave us more
Not a difficult boss but as a Handler you can send you dog over to The Huntress boss when she’s sleeping to attack her. She won’t wake up, easy win.
I’m having a blast with the game but the bosses can really push my patience.
You could also steal her dreams while she is asleep.
The secrets in this game are SO elaborate. Perfect for someone like me who likes to explore every inch of the map before i go to the main path.
For the last boss, i also found it overwhelming and hard to avoid his attacks at first, but the best advice is LISTEN, don't look. Every attack has a very clear audio cue, and if you dodge when you hear it, you can avoid 90+% of his bullcrap.

I think Remnant, both 1 and 2, does an amazing job at conveying it's entire premise through gameplay. The game is about hopping around different worlds and the game is actually played like you are hopping through different worlds. Stories that you encounter through the game are grandiose, epic, about saving the world, helping the people or fighting the power, but in reality are fairly inconsequential, because they have no relation to you or your mission.

Don't get me wrong, my first character was a challenger tailored specifically for 1v1 unarmed combat. It had only 50-60% efficiency, since it was completely usless against flying bosses, including the final boss.

Its really disappointing because a lot of the issues aren't new, they were in Remnant 1.
The peer2peer connections, the desync, the mouse decceleration, the lack of loadouts, icon UI(despite being a huge problem in 1, and more than doubling the rings and amulets in 2), vendors breaking, items missing, missing rewards for completing game on hardest difficulties, misaligned audio, audio from enemies is inconsistent, game files being replaced by hosts save, no region selection so you often match with people accross the world, as a byproduct of peer2peer connections you constantly disconnect and then they for some reason removed the ability to join games from the start menu so now you have to load into your character every time you DC, scrap economy, broken trait rewards, negative traits, AI pathing is abysmmal for enemies and summons, missing archetypes for pre order users, and this is just the more technical side. Remnant 2 is a step up in almost every way and would've benefited from an actual early access release. I think people are in the honeymoon phase and due to the sheer size of the game and pathways, most bugs and issues will not have any effect on their experience which I hope doesn't get in the way of any patching.
Speaking of bandit mutator... that combined with enigma is so dang good
And that final boss fight can be a pita.
You almost gotta ignore your eyes and relay on your ears for that fight
9:45 I heard something like that on the chainsaw guys. It was so loud and it took me a while to figure out it was the sound of chainsaws going over and over and a very loud volume!!
One of the greatest things I always loved significantly about Remnant besides its great use of Procedurals was the sound design.
I do not have the second Remnant yet but i do know i have played around 200 plus hrs of the first one and I am still going because I still have things i am looking for.
The sound design is so good that you could literally tell every single type of enemy apart from each other because of how distinct the monsters idle noises were and enemy attacks were so clear and telling you could turn around and still literally tell EXACTLY when the enemy is about to attack and dodge or slide out of the way on instinct alone and that is insane.
Monster designs win game of the year for me too because it's not often you get demon trees like the Root or the other monsters.
Something else i love is how there is so much reason to go again. The different puzzles and quests, how some puzzles could need a item that had not even spawned with that puzzle, bosses having multiple styles of clears ( Iskal Queen fuck you btw but damn if that fight is not hard as balls ) and etc.
So much Remnant does right in a way that makes it just perfect to drag someone into the game with you. Even if you go it alone you are in for a game that is worth its very considerate 40 dollar price tag. (for the first not the second that is 50)
The devs give you all this gold all for a price that is very cheap compared to the triple As demanding 60 to 70 and that is insane.
This game has one of the craziest glitch ive seen in gaming. My friend was cooping with me and after a couple hours session we left. Next day my friends account is overwritten with my saved data....
mhmm
cool story
Absolutely enjoying the game myself!
There’s a few very minor things that I don’t care for, and I’ve had minor issues with performance and connectivity on PS5.
But overall, this game is so much fun!
I was really considering buying this game because of what I've seen, but was still kinda on the fence about it. Not anymore. Thanks for convincing to spend my money, Ruri!
It's an amazing game. The exploration/world design is pretty damn crazy! Plus it looks gorgeous and is pure fun!
Highly recommend going in blind.
Avoid guides, make your own choices and enjoy the game
final boss performance for me was great actually. i have a mid pc and i got like 120+ frames consistent
I want to play it. But after 900hrs of Elden ring I don’t feel like losing my mind even further. 😂❤
The final boss fight is amazing, once you learn how it works its one of the most fun fights in the game. The class complaints really only sounds like a Handler dog issue, can't really make 1 thing into a whole class issue when that isn't the case.
Beat the game fully with 2 dif characters and multiple friends on PC. LOVE THIS GAME. I have 73 hours of game play myself and Hope the expansion adds actual new content like a new world or something other then just classes and weapons. Also I have an I5 11400F with 32 gigs ddr5 and an RTX 2080TI and was luck to only ever have one minor glitch with the game crashing one time on me during multiplayer. Never ran into any audio or any other problems. They do still need to optimize it for lower end systems for sure because to play at 1440p with a consistent frame time I needed to use DLSS quality but then again they did say before it came out they built it for DLSS so it is what it is with that(they have done some decent optimization since release that I did notice for sure).
I've finished it myself. It's super fun, but I've experienced quite a few issues, heaps of crashes, and I've even had a save get corrupted, and it automatically deleted it once it happened.
Despite the issues it's been great.
That was a beautiful review very helpful. I passed this up because of the “procedural generation dark souls with guns” which on first look sounded like “B tier money grab”. If they actually succeeded in making a good game like that, and I trust your judgment, that sounds amazing.
I know you are a father and the one thing I wish you would add to your reviews is, “Can I play this in front of my kids.” For example I can play Elden Ring for the most part with my kids watching. It’s not a game for them to play, but if I turn off blood splatter there’s nothing too nightmarish. There’s no way I would play Bloodborne with my kids watching, however. I don’t think ratings systems are good at this because “blood” doesn’t necessarily make a game unacceptable for kids. Kids (mine anyways) are often okay with blood, it’s jump scares that are a problem, or story-wise if someone good has something really bad and unjust happen to them that can’t be fixed later.
Remnant 2, ff16, armored core 6, spiderman, mk1 and bg3 are all gonna be top tier games this year.
The game is hard but funn. What Rurik did not mention is yes Co-Op whit random is there but no Text or Vois over ip. But for ppl that don't know the game, We have world A B and C that have 2 starts and ending, then we/game roll a D20 6 times to se the tile you ger and then roll a D20 4 times to see what even is there or not, and then roll the D20 agen to see where/tile the event is.
So lets sat Erik found an Event that have good loot on C lets say C 12 - 3 and tell his friend off it, So Jake now whant the items so he goes to C but the event is not there in the mode calling Adventure mode, 20 reroll later he found the item on lets say C 18 - 8.
Was skeptical after all souls UA-camrs praised lords of the fallen (ended up being a disaster of a launch), but remnant 2 has been amazing. My favorite soulslike atm
Remnant 2 is one of those rare games that nails the core gameplay so well that you stop caring about the jank. My biggest frustration has been with network issues and afkers, but those things are only frustrating because I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME SO MUCH
Bro. I had the final area music problem and had to completely cut the master sound
Great explanation brother. My only minor complaint would be is I like my soulslike games to not have difficulty settings, I prefer 1 settings that represents the devs ideas of what they wanted to create not that plus toned down versions. And basically every game has difficulty settings, I love that soulslike games don't do what every other game does. But like I said it's only a minor complaint this game is dope AF
I think the definition of a souls like is being stretched for games like this.
This game is so good! Got it Thursday and have been having a blast
My favorite weapon is tied between the chicago type writer with the corrosive rounds and Nimue's bow, for hand gun it has to be the enigma, its just so handy. I ha ent found a melee weapon i like over the other weapons
Also I love how "bandit" is a mutator now, its a shame they didn't bring back the devastator
I am going to continue to play diablo4 despite there shortcoming, destiny2, wow, remnants2, and any other games that catch my eyes. for me it's nice to have a collection of games to bounce between and i love all the games I meant.
The boss you were talking about has 4 different out comes... its crazy
Played the first Remnant and had a blast. Unfortunately when I got to the final boss, I got the negative trait bug and because my traits were below 10 I lost my 2nd archetype. I heard this happens if you joined someone with a modded game so it messes up your save. On my second character now and gonna try to get to the final level with the lowest level so I can blast through it by upgrading everything there
37:30
Genuine question, have you tried double clicking the dog skill? That should give the dog the order to come at your side and stay there
They might have tweaked it, but my first time around he would come over and instantly jumped back down again.
@@rurikhan i see, that's unfortunate
What's the name of this big bang weapon ? 29:35
Star Shot
@@rurikhan Thank You 🙂
The gunplay and handling on this game is amazingly well done. The exploration is really rewarding. The re-playability is high. The co-op is a lot of fun. Now it works on ps5 me and my son have hammered it in co-op and it’s very very fun. Also when we’ve played solo we’ve had completely different experiences due to the RNG nature of the world building. Performance on consoles is average I’d say it’s fine solo but hit detection and a few latancy issues are evident in co-op and that’s from two people in the same house playing on full fibre wired connections. But overall it’s solid and the fact the ultimate edition with the dlcs is £55 it’s well worth the price I’d say. 8/10 my favourite multiplayer game that’s come out this year. My negative comment is the ps5 version has NO adaptive triggers I mean come ON! Have you seen some of these guns! I want adaptive triggers
Awesome game. Who have no perfomance issues i enjoy that at the fullest. I love how hard to get things in it realy make me play it over and over.
I only got a bug what prevent me to do a side quest.
Spoiler and help if you in the bloodborne section:
When you found a sever and a npc hide behind bars.
If you pick up the wisp thingy what posses you. Dont parkour back!!!
It will break that quest peramently and you can only do it if you reroll the world.
My biggest problem with the game was the puzzles and how far out of the way any weapons and armor was. Either too hidden behind a gimmick or a convoluted questline that spans multiple worlds. 12 ish hour playthrough literally used the starting gear the entire time. There is a thing as too hidden imo Ik the game is centered around multiple playthroughs but Im not interested in that too many games out right now Id rather have a good onetime experience then come back for dlc and this didn't give me that. Had more fun in the 1st one tbh felt longer. Oh and the severe lack of upgrade materials and Money which re enforces the multiple playthrough thing/ rerolling. Hate when games force you to use a mechanic.
I'll watch the video when I get a chance but is this game soloable? I remember I dropped the first game playing solo because of bum rushing adds in boss encounters. That really put me off that game.
Yep. Better balanced for solo play now
I solo’ed the whole thing on the second difficulty, should be fine.
I soloed it.
I used medic class as my main with handler as secondary class.
You're a healer that has their own tank, which made my first playthrough pretty easy for the most part.
P.s.
The dog will spoil you
This wud be my fav game of all time if it run good on the ps5 . It shutters every now then and frames slow down when in a lot enemies swarm the screen . Imagine this dev team with a triple AAA budget
It's so good about 42 hrs currently
35:00 That's the only mutation I bothered to lvl to max, it definitely helps with large mag guns but I tried it on a gun with only 7 rounds in the mag with piercing shots so I would hit atleast 4 of the dummies in the practice range and it would cause me to some times gain more ammo than I use. I could watch it not proc a few shots then in a single shot proc on every target and jump me back to full.
32:16 I learned real quick to not use that mod in co-op with maxed out AoE and 0 friendly damage reduction. Was killing my friend on repeat so I had to swap it out. Super fun mod though, makes dealing with elites and hordes a lot easier.
I totally stopped paying mind to diablo updates after I played the game lmao.
Its crazy to see that they cramped so much oscure secrets and stuff in there.
Reading descriptions of items here is worth the time (wich i dont do in souls games besides Bloodborne), the books, even tho some are quite dry, can mean quite a lot for the biome and riddles you have to make later, and lets dont even talk about the class unlocks.
Even with those technical issues and few bugs i noticed its a total gem like the last one.
Im gonna write a long time in my riddle book to have every weird interaction on paper to help friends find shit XD
The Ultimate Edition is actually cheaper than the Deluxe right now on PS due to BF sales. So ima pick this up. Thanks Ruri
I seem to be missing something with this. I don't think it's a bad game, but I got very bored after around 15 hours. Felt like the itemization was poor, like barely anything I was finding was worth it. There's not that many weapons to find, I probably found like 2 weapons in the world after 15 hours. I think I found like 2 traits in that time. Relic mods that offer 3% increases (so what). Some rings alter playstyles up a little but not much, most are worthless % increase stuff. Combat got stale fairly quickly on Veteran. If you keep up with the upgrades, you can just blast your way through the core game. But I've seem higher difficulty modes and it just feels like an exercise in damage sponging, which doesn't seem that interesting.
A lot of the stuff with vast dual archetype builds does seem interesting after watching Phemeto's videos, but I dunno. It feels like it takes a long time to get there, and that it's more like a post-game thing that you keep wanting to play on with. Which isn't all that enticing when you've already seen enough after the end of the base game.
Some things i dont agree with especially the boss vs class problem. Sometimes you dont need the class itself and just shoot. as example challenger dont need to kill with melee on flying bosses he still got a weapon to use and that is 110% do-able. Ive been playing mostly gunslinger through my 150 hours and it is easy to say for me but i have had no problems what so ever. Also the procedural generation is misunderstood it is more like a procedural "selection" If i startet now and you startet now we would have a very big chance of seeing the same things not all of them but a whole lot of it. There is 2 stories for each world (3 worlds) which is 6 outcomes in total, and then there is some smaller "dungeons" that is selected aswell. But people calling it "generated" is kinda not true it is not like minecraft or valheim and so on. The worlds are already created and randomly picked by the game when you play through.
On PC 03:21, there is tech issues because is one on the first game running on UE5. So, yes, there is an insane "Depth of field" with very nice VFX effect and no pop up textures but the game can't stand 60 FPS on native 4K with my RTX 4080. Annyway, this game deserve his succes (1 Milions sellers already ) for the insane fun and addicting loop is giving us 🙂🎮
I may pick this up when it goes on sale or when I don't have anything else in my rotation.
I really wanted to like the first game. But I just couldn't find a weapon and/or playstyle that I really like.
Hopefully its different with Remnant 2 when I eventual play it.
3050 Asus RoG no issues. Smooth as silk at 60FPS.
This game is a prime example of quality over quantity, but theres still a lot of content. So many games are just about money nowadays, and remnant 2 is all about gameplay and fun. The combat is the best ive ever touched in any game. Edit: i never thought id say it but the bosses are even better designed than dark souls they seriously hit the nail right on the head with this game
Love this game. Ive been watching pally and ur vids on it. Only downside Ive experienced was crashes. I had to find the game file, set it to run as admin and run in windows 8 compatibility mode for some reason. I have a 3080 ti and the error was saying not enough video memory. It may need some optimization to avoid frustrating people on install. I run Destiny 2, Warzone and many other more graphics intensive games and never had this issue.
Rurikhan, that beard is looking great
Great fun! Unfortunately 36 hours in I got the tal ratha bug! It won’t do anything , just sits there. I now have reroll my entire campaign T.T
Is it fun to play exclusively on single-player? (I don't have friends and interacting with other living creatures terrifies me)
Yes.
@@rurikhan Thanks for the answer. I'll wait for all the DLC to be released and then give it a shot.
@rurikan - You need to reroll losom so you get to play against Dreamweaver boss. Hardest boss in the game
Already killed her, was pretty easy.
@@rurikhan That's cool. Was it on any of your streams I can watch? Took me a few hours to finally beat her solo. I even opened up my game to randoms and she was pooping on everyone. I was watching another streamer and she almost broke him lol
@HARLEM-NEWYORK was pretty easy with Engineer turrets they shred her apart
I have Engineer challenger build with maxed out skill cool downs
Amazing review for a fantastic game.
Just submitted a bug report on remnant discords. Gosh, it’s an awesome game but it’s loaded with billion crazy bugs. I think they released the game way too early
great video man actually like more long form reviews. as Long as there are timestamps
People compare it to the Souls Games but outside of the Meditation Checkpoints and Challenge/Difficulty, but that’s where the comparisons end. Remnant is like Third Person Diablo with Guns. It’s a more accurate comparison.
I’m currently playing Remnant: From the Ashes and that’s my take away from the game is. Third Person Diablo with Guns.
It's a mish mash of various ideas, but I do think the bonfire-esque checkpoints, the punishing difficulty, and the focus on boss fights qualifies it as a soulslike with guns. That said, it's definitely on the fringes of the genre.
I definitely don't think it's Diablo with guns. That would be a looter shooter, and while this has looter shooter elements loot drops are not a focus of this is game in the same way as something like Borderlands.
Malenia blade of miquela; after loosing my sanity with that fight in 3 play throughs and countless hours, and learning to cheese 🧀. I don’t know if I’m ready for another souls like. 😅
This game is really awesome. If you did not play Remnant from the Ashes, I would recommend that as well.
If you have not bought it yet, I recommend ps5! No issues so far in regards to technicalities.
I have to disagree with the last boss, once I ignored all the extra stuff going on I was able to dodge nearly every hit. The extra visuals added to it for me.
Personally I'm not a big fan of the popular "Dark Souls with guns" narrative. I'm more inclined to compare it to the run-and-gun era Resident Evil games - yes, the "unpopular" ones - first, and a soulslike second. That might be a much harder sell without further explanations, but it's also more honest imo.
my gripe is that u can hippfier on pc its super annoying for carpo & that some of the class unlocks r to crazy the archon class WTF or u cant type/chat to party..... but its a good game :)
Will you be covering Atlas Fallen at all?
Blood king?! I have 76h in the game and never seen that boss. 😱 Well I geas I'll try find him tomorrow 🥰🙏
Bloat King. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a blood king too though.
Top 3 game of all time for me next to elden ring and ice break mh
except,, there is major BUG in the game,,, I lost all my 47 skill points and my secondary character disappeared after I used orb to reset my skills after I spent 70 h in to it!
Melee only challenge run you say? Oh you sweet summer child, ye of little faith
After the honeymoon I can say I enjoyed R1 way more. R2 is a good game no doubt but I don't really like the maps, too convoluted, too many lifts and locked doors to the point it just doesn't feel organic anymore. Plus the feeling of attrition praying you make it to the next save point is somehow gone, I dont really care about dying anymore bc all I lose is 3 minutes of time. The latter probably comes back in Hardcore but with the many issues there are I don't think I'll try that, won't lose my character after 200 hrs because a jump/ledge grab didn't register.
How this didn't get a GOTY nomination is insane to me. I know it doesn't stand a chance to win but it should be up there.
As good as Spider-Man 2 is, it should not be up for GOTY.
Sir you are younger then me. I have no propblem dealing with all the chaos on screen. No offence but you need to up your game. Can't be having us old guys look bad 😅. Great game, great review, keep it up.
This being youtube I am almost hesitant to speak out.
I am having issues to the degree that I will not support the game anymore and regret paying for the ultimate edition. What gave the final blow was the way the devs handle communication.
I am moving on to armored core, which might end up game of the year for me.
its better to wait for the final patch to play this cause the 1st rem had 8,and it ran way better i beat it last year and didnt have any drops hardly and i was using a 3060
Went in knowing nothing, got my a$$ beat after refusing the request of the queen in the first world and ended up having to do the quest she asked me to do anyway - 9/10
I'm having a good time with it, but it's broken to shit and back. Playing the game solo even with the dog can also be a huge pain the ass, mainly due to needing to reload and not being able to.
The only voice acting o had a problem with was clementine
Would be more helpful if the video shows what you are talking about - example: cubegun.
Final boss is a bit iffy imo, way too many visual effects and most transitions removed both visual and audio indicators of attacks coming out of the transition too, which just made things worse still.
It's not awful, but it sure ain't fantastic.
Rest of the game's pretty good tho.
4080 with dlss frame-generation, everything on ultra, buttery smooth at >120fps
I've tried getting friends to see the glory of remnant 2 but they just beat the first boss and shrug "eh, another shooter"
I absolutely tried to enjoy any time i had with remnant 2. 50 hours. the armor boils down to wear leto's armor or get 1 or 2 shot anytime, anywhere, any mob. Health trait, Damage reduction, Elemental Reduction means nothing. Just invest points into stam and stam regen so you can dodge the 1 shots which are everywhere. Played with friends who jerk off to this game and found myself not being able to use my aoe abilities cuz friendly fire is horrendous. Before you say use the dog! How bout just get rid of the absolutely stupid friendly fire damage. Most guns are pointless as are melee weapons. Scrap in this game is something you will be starved for even after 50 hours of play time if you dont want to exploit spam. The list goes on, but there is d4 scaling as well based on your current gear level so you never feel powerful. I genuinely hate this game.
Lots of guns, lots of mods, lots of rings, lot's of classes. Rem 2 don't have crazy dlc prices or b.s pay to win garbage. I had to work for everything and it was great getting it after work.
The only bad things i can say is I hate some of the levels, and it's hard to run a class without having some sort of healing on, do i really need to carry every ring and gun?
you're 41????? same like me..But you look like 50...
Love your videos
Fucking ouch! Lol
@rurikhan don't worry you look about 40 just abit early with the gray beard
I'll check when it comes to game pass.
"Easily one of it not the greatest games ever made a 9.8/10" -there fixed it for ya
Say no more, you sold me on it.
