    Remnant 2 isn't just 'more Remnant'. It's a massive expansion of the formula, adding whole new RPG, progression and procedural systems. The result is a AA entry that feels like a AAA powerhouse, and a GOTY contender at that.

      1st expansion will have unlockables to the present game and present game additions and tunings to already created items and such., 2nd will Probably be a trials DLC that will have gauntlet labyrinth runs and such like the first game, 3rd DLC will probably be a Story expansion to the game.

      Sorry, but the reasoning of that sponsorship is reaching... "Want to play a game a few hours earlier? get a VPN (and pay for your internet twice while making it slower)."
      Stop promoting VPNs, man, it's a big scam and I can't wait for it to die off.

    Firstly, gotta say thanks to Ralph for letting Austin and I play this one. It was so much fun, Austin and I were amazed at every corner by spectacular bosses and insane environments whilst also both pissing our pants in losomn at giant rat monsters. I put in about double the hours playing as Austin did, mostly replaying levels we cleared so I could get more fat loot for testing builds and so as not to spoil the next world for myself or him. I am looking forward to our next game bud, but also just diving in and exploring more worlds and puzzles, and of course, 3 DLCs? Bet your ass we're doing those!!

    Skill Up nails it here. The reason I love the Remnant games (and Elden Ring) is the sense of adventure. You find all kinds of stuff you never expected, that constantly surprise you with well thought out puzzles, etc. There's few games that have that sense of wonder in them these days.

    It is worth mentioning that you can learn a fair bit about the main plot of the first game through talking with NPCs in Ward 13. There is quite a bit of dialogue to listen to, sometimes it can feel like too much but it can be worth your time and I find the voice acting to be consistently good across the board with many of the actors sounding quite invested in their performance in ways few are in higher budget titles.

      @@originalityisdead.9513 It's unfortunate that you're having performance issues but sadly that's the reality of modern PC gaming. Devs can try their hardest to make it run as best as possible on a variety of hardware but there's truly an astonishing amount of hardware combinations that people might have, so they can't account for everything right away, they can only try and fix problems as they arise.
      That's not to say that's the only reason a game might be running poorly, though; you're definitely right that this particular game runs a bit ass sometimes for me and others, even with beefy setups.

      They stated they made the game with upscaling in mind aka we couldn't be bothered.
      I didn't build a high end rig to play at upscaled 1080p just to get good fps, it's a joke and they should not be rewarded for laziness.

    As an avid follower of Ralph's reviews and a fellow enthusiast of gaming, I was excited to see Austin stepping in to cover the newly released game. It's always refreshing to hear different perspectives. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that the game being reviewed, despite not being perfect, is truly amazing. I've been playing it myself since early access, and its qualities are undeniable.
    Now, it's important to recognize that Austin and Ralph work closely together, which might naturally lead to some similarities in approach and tone. As a team, their collaboration could influence each other, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
    During Austin's review, I couldn't help but notice that he seemed to be trying a bit too hard to emulate Ralph's signature style. While it's natural to look up to someone you admire, I believe that true greatness lies in embracing one's individuality and unique voice.
    I do want to applaud Austin's effort in providing a balanced assessment of the game's strengths and weaknesses. His love for gaming is evident, and I appreciate his dedication to creating engaging content for the audience. Nevertheless, I believe that allowing his genuine passion and personality to shine through would elevate the review to even greater heights.
    The game's appeal speaks for itself, and Austin has a fantastic opportunity to offer a fresh perspective that will complement Ralph's well-established style. Embracing his own voice will not only make his reviews more authentic but also add valuable diversity to the gaming community.
    I encourage Austin to continue sharing his insights and experiences with the game, while also exploring his own unique approach. Being true to oneself not only benefits the content creator but also resonates more profoundly with the audience.
    I look forward to witnessing Austin's growth as a reviewer and experiencing the evolution of his distinct voice in future reviews. With such an incredible game to discuss, the potential for captivating and insightful content is undoubtedly immense.
    P.S.: come on "what are you feeding your artists?" really??? in what world does dietary habits has any consequence on artistic prowess??? sorry I couldn't help but to call it out... sorry XD

Although I've now hit upon Abomination (one of the bosses shown in the vid) with Hearty and Empathy on Nightmare Difficulty and by god that is just brutal.
      That being said, the mutators on bosses and elites can make for a really fun strategic element. Especially once the boss hits the Empathy mutator and you somehow have to communicate to your randos to not use Relics to heal.

      I think the hidden class thing is problematic. I don't see most people wanting to play through this more than one or two times, and even if you do find the hidden class you want in one of those playthroughs, you prolly won't have it fully leveled until the very end. At that point most people will be done with the game.

Not to mention once you discover a class you can start as that class on a new character, so if you want a fresh playthrough with a new play style it's easy to do, especially since guides exist. There are hundreds of hours of content just in the base game and three dlc's are coming.

    Great review, just for some constuctive criticism I thought to mention an easy thing to get right as much as ralph does, regarding the performance part, is two things:
    1. Exact specs; An "i7" won't help too much explain your system, as you could have an i7 from 10 years ago. Had a friend who I told had a cpu bottleneck playing newer titles, however his response always was "But I bought an i7!") (He had an i7 4790 from 2013)
    2. Gathering an average framerate given by Nvidia's Geforce experience overlay is an easy and quick way to get numbers. Either press Alt+Z or go to the geforce app itself and Enable "In Game overlay". Then in the overlay settings select the performance list and you can enable either just 'FPS' counter or "Advanced" which shows gpu temps, usage average framerates and more. This can be turned off again.
    Just to be clear, if you limit the fps in game to 60 or having vsync force the framerate to be 60, won't help finding the average fps potential.
    Your review is meticulously sublime in it's delivery in every other way, and have nothing more to add really.
    Hopefully either of these tips helps out someone though!
