Thank you so much for stopping in to check out our review! We wanted to take our time with this one, as it's a game close to our hearts and wanted to make sure we quite literally, played every ounce we could squeeze in before reviewing. If you liked it or loved it, consider sharing it around and letting us know what you think of Remnant 2 below.
Honestly, the good reviews are gonna make me preorder the ultimate edition desipte being away from my pc for another 2 weeks 😂😂
This was a great review and will explained while avoiding big spoilers.
Question, how smooth was it on the PC performance wise?
This is the way
@@matthewcharles9813 Our PC performance across 3 different PCs was buttery smooth. PC builds were between a 2-3k price range for perspective. Only a few places had frame drops and when we reported them (we reported every single bug, performance drop, etc along the way) they were already on a list and being worked through.
@@LegacyGamingUS Were you playing the release build? And were you playing max settings with higher than 60hz? :)
Let’s not ignore ZERO MICROTRANSACTIONS. Amazing developer and I’m glad gearbox let them do their thing. Loved the first one
I want cosmetic microtransactions. If anything to put some money in their pockets.
Isn't gunslinger locked behind a preorder? Or is it unlocked through play if you don't preorder?
@@rob5541 can be unlock later
I wouldn’t mind cosmetic as long as they weren’t egregious
Microtransactions are not inherently bad
I'm glad that Remnant 2 is hitting the big stage as it deserves - this game is a true AAA caliber, not a rare niche like how Remnant 1 was overshadowed.
I hope this is true.
looks like disappointment
@@sevenupkiet4333elaborate
@@regulator18E Pretty sure they won't elaborate, some people just like hating for no good reason.
why do people keep saying that remnant 1 was niche or overlooked. It just had plenty of problems even if we loved it, only after all the updates and dlcs did the game really became great. keep in mind in the release version we only had campaign and had to replay the entire campaign for the chance to get a new item
Remnant 2 has a firing range? That is awesome! I remember that the firing range in Borderlands 2 was invaluable in determining builds. I’m hoping the one in Remnant 2 will be just as useful!
Exactly what we said when we saw it!
Cool hearing it already a great Sequel
I want to see a dueling area added to ward 13, maybe not every player would enjoy invasion pvp like me but the pvp should be there for those who want it.
I've watched every review released so far and I have to say yours is by the far best and well informed while still limiting spoilers you guys did a great job!
Appreciate you dropping by and leaving with kind words. Means a lot.
You guys do the best job covering Remnant 2 out of anyone. Super solid review. Great job!
Much appreciated!
What I love about Remnant is how rewarding each Boss is. The weapon mod system is something I think other games should take inspiration from. Big triumphs over difficult bosses should give you unique rewards that actually enhance your gameplay, not just XP, progression, and basic loot. It makes you feel like every battle you’ve won has helped you get to where you are. *chef’s kiss*
Me and a friend spent hours trying the beat the butterfly boss in remnant 1
it took our sanity
I really hope they add a on/off slider for the weapon mod Cosmetics like they did in Remnant one for showing your helmet
the time played screen at the start was a nice touch. really puts things into perspective. i really enjoyed the first one so think i´ll like this aswell.well done and thank you
The Secret classes is a great touch as well. The not-so-secret Gunslinger, as well as the Engineer, Invader and Summoner classes are superb and give a massive extension of this game's playability.
Dont forget the easily missed assassin
Plus the alchemist
Don’t forget archon 👀
Man your channel has really grown ! I was subbed back when you guys covered Aliens Fireteam Elite, now Remnant II ! Keep it up guys
Thanks for being along for the ride :)
Aliens Fireteam Elite is when i subbed too haha
Your content is so nice, very well written/narrated for newcomers! Congrats to the whole team, and Thank you!!
Your review got me even more hyped ! Forgot how many hours i sunk into the first one xD And thank you for not spoiling stuff, yall rock !
I feel like you guys really understand the nuances of this game and what makes it so great, unlike some other reviewers who seem as though they barely took the time to play/understand it before dropping a review (looking at you, gamespot). It’s good to see, and all of your remnant 2 content has been solid. Glad to have found your channel.
Glad to have you along for the ride!
True, I'm seeing Legacy as one of the handful reviewers who get the target audience of niche typified games
Cannot wait to play it later today, I absolutely loved the 1st and seeing all the progress and enhancements done for the this one has me so very happy
So I have only been watching you guys channel recently for most of my remnant 2 info..I have watched a couple other channels..and the way you guys have things worked out is great...keep up the awesome work!
The fact you only have 7 archetypes and ive seen more in some reviews makes me so excited for how many there really are
8 minimum, but most likely 9 just to fill the archetype selection grid.
@@Winturuth and honestly that would be enough for me for now, and adding 1 per dlc (if thats what they do) would still keep it nice and neat
There is a lot of more archetypes hidden on the game. But is a secret.
At least 10 regarding to what the devs said :)
It is now 12
played this game all night last night. i loved the first one, an all time favorite. And this has just turned everything up to 11. feels great diving into the world of remnants again
Thank you for the brutally honest review, as a veteran of the first one I can’t wait to put hundreds of hours into its sequel like I did with the first. I preordered the Ultimate Edition as the package is well worth the extra money and with that comes early access which actually starts later on today depending on where you live, I’m on the East Coast so I’ll be able to play it tonight at 7pm so I’m counting down the minutes and hours until launch!
Early squad lets gooooo! Hype train for tomorrow! Love the uploads to further increase the excitement 👌🏻
2023 is shaping up to be a legendary year for gaming
The true D4 Season 1. Glad this is coming out!
😂😂 absolutely
I agree
I'm having a blast in Remnants 2 while Diablo 4 players are suffering 😂
For those of u who bought the early access, the game will unlock at 7pm EST(UTC-5) on July 21! So excited to experience this masterpiece
Thanks! I thought I had more time to decide
Change time zone and you can play it earlier than that!
@@Konfide4043You can't. Tried that already.
@@Konfide4043 How do I do that on windows? I tried it and it didnt work. I think steam is overriding the time zone I have on my PC
Too bad I'm working a double today. Can't play it until I get off of work at 7am tomorrow 🥱🥲
Great review, glad the game is getting a lot of light after the first one.
One thing to note, not many enemies can one shot you and death is a little bit more forgiving that other souls like games.
Really Exellent review, touched all that I needed to know about the game in details without spoiling the good stuffs. The first game didn't rly pull me in with the story or the setting but this one looks amazing, will be wish listing this.
You didn't pay attention to the story at all then. I may have gone overboard and read every terminal and book (thanks fallout) but once you piece everything together its absolutely amazing. So much so I even played the prequel
My partner and I were going to hold out and wait until after release to maybe buy on sale. We haven't bought a full price game in years and haven't pre ordered even longer. This is the first game we dropped $70 on in a very long time. I am so happy to see this company created another masterpiece. I can't wait to experience these worlds with my partner. So excited!
Yall got a great presentation, a breakdown of the important factors from gameplay, storyline, world building, and progression, but also not giving away too much. This is brilliant. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This really does sound like an amazing game especially after watching this review. Pre-ordered last night for early access tommorrow, the hype is real. Can't wait to discover what all the other hidden archetypes are and what this company has in plan going forward. Great review! 👍
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for dropping by to support us
Same, d4 dropped its game killer patch and made me rediscover that this game drops today and I was never so happy a game killed itself.
Only 1 active skill. Why? Why???? Allow all 3!!!
It is not on pc. It runs poorly even on powerful gaming pcs.
Literally stumbled on Remnant this week. Never played the first one but I am extremely excited to jump into Remnant II. Love finding sneaky good games!
First one was awesome. I have to agree with reviewer man, bit clunky but honestly is was awesome. So many rememorable bosses
Your channel has been my go to all week. Can't wait to kill some root with you guys 💪
Awesome review! Thanks for this. I stopped playing the first one because of the bosses spawning infinite minions which just pissed me off. I really enjoyed the gameplay and worlds though so I was waiting to see how the sequel would be. Seems they listened and changed everything for the better. Guess I'm getting the ultimate version to get evertything. With D4 and this I'll be set for the year and maybe more. We're really blessed with great games this year. Cheers!
I'm so glad that the early reviews have been great so far, I took a chance and preordered the Ultimate Edition (the Gunslinger archetype really called out to me); and now I'm even more hyped for the official release later today.
I'm a newcomer to the Remnant franchise, and I can't wait to see what a "Dark Souls game with guns" as it's been called; is all about😁.
I saw 4 or 5 reviews of this game, and at the end, except for IGN it felt like they were more preoccupied with giving it a score than evaluating how much fun the game is in all its components, gameplay, world design, exploration, gear, team play, mob and bosses variety, and so on, it felt like they did not understand the game. Coming from someone who played the first title scared because I do not like Souls games I ended up playing the game for several hours and all its DLCs. That year remnant 1 was the hidden gem that almost no one played sadly. I honestly think Legacy Gaming review was spot on, and the best part they did not show spoilers as the others did. Thank you for your brutally honest review @LegacyGamingUS, I can't wait to start playing R2.
Then you have the polygon review which boiled down to this game is bad because it came out during a heatwave
Can’t wait to play this later today! Missed out on the first game but I plan on hitting this one hard.
I did too, but man I’m so glad 2 is better in every single way
Procedurally generated maps were done in Hellgate London ages ago and I played that game for so many hours, such a shame it didn't make it. So glad to see Remnant doing so well, it deserves all the hype it's getting right now!
My copy arrived Friday, so two days late. But it downloaded onto my PS5 pretty quickly. I have played the first years ago when it originally came out after its release. Though it did take me a good while of running around the Phantom and Hatchery areas trying to get my bearings again. Haven't played today but will give it a good session Sunday and Monday now I have completed Diablo 4 and not rushing season 1. Firs thing I noticed were how incredibly the graphics and scenery (especially the city in the beginning) were when I started playing. Just the fine details in general, the narrative and story telling and just the overall characters interactions and the game so far in my short lived time on it have been great. I play a lot of games and grab at least 2-3 a month so more often than not I find myself playing 5 at a time online or solo and I love it, always got something to play when I fancy a change. Being someone who suffers severe mental health (OCD, Tourette's) and has periods of struggle video gaming throughout my life has been a blessing and my therapy.
I'm so ready to play today! The gunslinger is going to be my pick. ❤
Nice review. Remnant is all about worlds. I preorder ultimate edition. I realy enjoy Remnant from the Ashes and Chronos before ashes to.
Me and my best bud played the 1st Remnant coop for days on end and loved so we're really happy the devs only got better at perfecting the game in the sequal
I’ve got a small question. So I know reallocating your trait points requires resources to do so.
Each archetype has an attached trait that ranks up with the archetype, and once fully unlocked it can be used with any archetype, but requires investing trait points.
What happens if you’ve invested points in one of these traits, but you then decide to switch back to the associated archetype?
Since you get that trait fully ranked without investment are those invested points refunded for use elsewhere for free?
This the review I was waiting on!
So hyped for this. The price tag was a nice surprise as well. 69.99 includes all 3 DLC packs. Better than 100 bucks to beta test other titles. See you in the Ward!!
It’s price tag is actually amazing
I loved the original Remnant, aside from one thing - the maze like levels with staircases layered upon rooms upon corridors upon more staircases, often I'd think I was progressing through a level only to end up back at the start! If this is improved with a better map it's a must buy for me.
Great review. Can you tell me if you can play co op and choices made by host will be same for player joining. In Far Cry 5 it is such a hassle cause you have to play on the host and joined players progress goes nowhere
This has been the channel for Remnant 2 content. So happy you guys liked it, and I cant wait to try it myself.
Does anyone know, if there is any kind of level scaling system? If my buddy and I are different levels, do the enemies levels reflect differently?
Playing this game with 1-2 buddies has been an insanely fun co-op experience so far.
I’ve played for 30+ hrs and beaten the game and have had 1 single person join me world. Coop is broken. Public matches don’t work. Put the setting on public and see who joins. You will be waiting hours. Coop is a part of the story and it doesn’t work.
3:35 that single 'pop' of friendly fire because you just aren't really sure in-the-moment... I felt that.. xD
It's happened more than I care to admit
saw 4 or 5 reviews of this game, and at the end, except for "Worth A Buy" it felt like they were more preoccupied with giving it a score and not evaluating how much fun the game is in all its components.. it got me interested, though i didnt like the first game, clunky, didnt like the graphics much, and i got stuck in a world not understanding how the game works so i just gave it up after 3 hours..
This game looks totaly different and interesting. and youre Review is the best ive seen about it.
going to pick this up already today.
Nice review. Took me a while to buy the first one and it was a true gem, I'm glad there is so much more custmization, gear, loot, traits to make unique playstyles. This is gonna be dope.
Can't wait til tomorrow ,I never got around to playing the 1st one but I heard great things so I'm hyped for this game ,I been needing a new game with some rogue like mechanics
Do yourself a favor, play the first one
You should be able to play remnant 2 in less than an hour's time by changing your region to New Zealand.
That said remnant 1 (FTA) is 100% worth playing and I'm sure even after completing remnant 2 a few times you'll be itching for more, so remember it's a good game!!
Great stuff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻cant wait thanks for the vid and long hours playing!!
Played it for a few hours today. Loving it from the first level. The action feels so good. A lot of tension, great skill and upgrade system, nicely paced rewards (instead of endless useless loot), beautiful worlds, excellent controls etc.
Going with Challenger. I’m going medieval on these monsters!
I'm going with Medic. Has always love playing the support role!
I just want my ricochet crossbow back again so I can terrorise small groups again like I use to do
Edit: I know for a fact I’m not gonna be paying attention to how heavy the armour is and right at the clutch moment my character is gonna eat sh!t and belly flop and I’ll be screwed
Remnant from the Ashes was one of my FAVORITE games back in 2019 and was for a while. Lots of games since then were a lil... lacking. I guess. When you cover world design in this game it reminds me of how GOOD it felt to accomplish secrets back in Remnant 1. Take the Ravager fight for example (The big ol wolf in Yaesha) yes you could just fight it like any normal boss OR if you looked around you could find a lullaby and play a song on the bells around the arena to calm him. Thus skipping the fight and actually talking to the wonderful creature! I'm so excited for this game!!!
23:21 damn shots fired at Diablo
Been replaying remnant from the ashes getting ready for tonight’s release. This was the first souls game I finished and was able to do it solo. So excited for this game.
Remnant is not a souls game, and is barely a souls like... Good job but how about go beating dark souls, it's a great game and honestly not as hard as people make it out to be
Not a souls game. But it's a great game nonetheless.
It's a Rogueborne game :D
Bro it's Dark Souls with guns with some extra spice. Get over yourself
Can you solo this? Are there npc bots?
the 1 billion dollar question tho, is this good for a solo player .
Im so jealous you guys got a hold of this early. I cant wait to jump in and find everything i can.
As im writing this my PlayStation is saying that i still have 14 hours and 20 minutes until i can play and that is way too long as far as im concerned
Who else is thinking about how funny it would be to go in with 3 dog handlers. So many good boys!!
Thank god for this game after blizzard just ruined diablo 4
Yeah, me and a mate are jumping ship as soon as this unlocks later. Blizzard pulling their usual shit of making a mess of post-release patches in order to pad out their content.
You are clueless
Frame rate looks terrible. Its a pass for me
60+ fps but you do you and TH-cam does a horrible job at showing fps 🤣
I’ve noticed remnant videos have the most brain dead NPC comments I’ve seen in a long time. I guess if it’s not some AAA mainstream title your average NPC a normie just doesn’t compute what they are seeing.
ACG addressed this, it's very strange that here the inconsistency of the performance isn't mentioned even once...
@@poppychalupa9390 60+ isn’t acceptable for PC standards
Ultimate Edition playable @ 9pm EST today. I can't wait. Great vid. Very informative.
Subbed for the Remnant content, awesome stuff guys!
I'd really recommend trying to start on Nightmare if you like souls-like games. Its brutal, probably harder then any FromSoft game, but it's so rewarding.
I even had to re-roll my campaign on the 1st planet because I couldn't get past the 1st progression boss, (regenerating vicious abomination) but then slowly getting pieces of a build together and overcoming challenges is the best gaming experience I've had this year by far.
This is by far the best review of anything I've ever watched. Incredibly well done! I came into this video not knowing anything about the game and I just may have to pick it up now. Thanks for perfectly balanced video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow sounds and looks so good. Goto say thank u for your honesty, so looking forward to getting into this.
Played the first to deaf as well as all dlc. Loved every thing about it. Nightmare mode was awesome.
These guys deserve a reward for these games. As let's face it they the only devs pushing the envelope...
Great work guys. Can,t wait for wots next.👍👍👍👍
Thx for all the hard work can’t wait to play it
Ive noticed one thing when im solo i have no problem dodging but as soon as i join my friends dodging goes out the door.
Definitely going to be game of the year! I've watched so many videos and previews, yours is the best explanations and details without giving away too much! Thanks!! Old gamer and have seen so many,I've not been this anxious in awhile 😆
Was gonna wait to pick this up. I am now downloading. This coming from a huge fan of the first. This looks brutally honest GUUD. Thanks Kodiak and crew for your 150+ hour tribute as always :D)
Glad the review helped, appreciate you checking it out!
True only complaint is the lack of passive perks you can upgrade like in the first one. Like the vaulting perk and consumable usage speed perk
Thanks for that GREAT review! Totally hooked to play it soon 🤘
I'm glad you guys are bringing up what the story matters most in.
I feel like alot of reviewers aren't appreciating the less direct story and lore telling but I'm excited to interact with the world's more
It’s a lot of environmental storytelling and micro moments of interest
And much like soulsborne cousins, I think that is the real pull and interest in the game.
Hope interacting with the npcs and being as good of world hoppers as we potentially can be, goes a long way.
I still love and remember r1 having some interactions being peaceful and just talking to someone and I loved those most
So happy to see gunfire are confident enough in their game to provide everyone early access, shame that its so rare these days but Im so excited to play tonight!
They have every right to be confident
And yet another HQ Vid about R2! You guys rock! As the Game will for sure. Let alone RotA back then. Came out of nowhere and was so much Fun to play cause of it's own Style and how it worked. I'm downloading the pre load for tonights start and man, i can't wait to dive into the World of Remnant again. Thx for the Vids an i am sure Build Videos will come as well later on. Awesome!!!
Yeah we don't want to do builds yet because it's going to take a hot moment for people to even complete the game. We'll get there though. We have a lot of ideas already planned out.
Me and 2 mates started co-oping this game and it's amazing fun with some rewarding puzzle mechanics leading to good rewards. Only complaint is that the networking drops sometimes, so co-oping can be a bit choppy. But I'm sure these problems will be worked out over time.
Ngl not only is 8 archetypes fairly chunky but it's gonna add a lot to the buildcrafting. Looking forward to it. Also love how OP didn't want to spoil the new archetypes but then showed off Summoner gameplay.
not sure if this was asked. but is there a matchmaking option to play with other online people? (for those who dont have friends to play with 😬)
I have it installed and am excitedly waiting for it to be opened to play!!!!
Just got the Ultimate edition i cant wait to play it today, sadly my friends are getting it later so gonna do my solo playthrough first
Does enemy health, difficulty, or mob density scale based on party size?
Got put onto remnant 2 days ago. I'm hooked love it... shit is amazing... my perfect sweet spot. When I'm normally running Eldin ring, destiny 2, and sons of the forest
I gotta tell you, ive been playing games since the early 90s and this year has brought hope back for gaming. Totk, remnant 2 and baldurs gate 3 are blowing my mind. Im painfully reluctant to say starfield but i hope its a homerun, hell even diablo is great again. Am i missing any?
Gunfire Games took ideas from the souls formula and truly made a masterpiece of their own!!! Even now before experiencing this, I cannot contain my hype!!! Bravo!! Now I'm just wondering what a Remnant version of Elden Ring would look like?! It probably wouldn't ever have to exist but one thing is for sure that these games definitely deserve the same level of hype and recognition!!
I'm not super big on soul like games, but ever since I bought it, I've been addicted to grinding it hard-core. Don't know all the secrets and stuff but I'm still having a lot of fun.
It's fantastic and I loved my time with it. Just finished the main campaign. I do wish there were a few QoL features for it though. The biggest thing though I miss from FTA is the survival mode. I know it was included as a DLC and I imagine it's coming soon but it feels weird it wasn't included from the get go. It made the game so fun for pick up and play sessions. Also the game needs to let you roll a version of the Labyrinth and the final area into adventure mode maps too for fun or expand the content in them. Still I'm excited to see what they do down the road. Anyhoo just my 2 cents. Game is incredibly fun.
Me and my friend had co-op problems in the first one and after looking on reddit and even in comments in other Remnant 2 videos I see for some this is still a problem. So I was wondering if you or anyone know if there is any fix or work around for this? Really don't want to get bamboozled again.
Thanks for talking about the story. That's the one thing I always look for because otherwise it's just another grind and hack-n-slash. I was just about to say, looks great but what about the story and then you ran through it which was appreciated.
This has officially taken my favorite list and shoved them all down. Hands down, not even a contest the best video game I've ever played. I hope the GOW devs see this game and take notes because if the next GOW series is able to pull off a game with similar story changes along the way where everyone has a bit of a different unique story and playthrough and they can have a similar level set up where everyone has unique parts to their game others may not have it would make the next GOW games have so much more replayability and the GOW community would flip their wigs.. i really want to see a GOW game series that takes place in Egypt but that takes different turns based on what level you roll or what choices you make along the way... Man that would be just as addictive as this game is. I really hope the people working on GOW see this game and decide to do very similar things in their next games that take place in anew mythology which looks like it's going to be the Egyptian mythology which would work so well along side level design and story changes for each player depending on how they play, where/when they go somewhere or if they miss something altogether. 😮
does this game run good on pc? Is it well optimized? I have a 3070 with an i9 12900k processor with 16 gigs of ram, will this run it pretty well?
Gunslinger/ Challenger I think that would work I already Know Hunter would be better with dps with Gunslinger but I think challenger would give a little more survivability.
I appreciate the comments about the story. You know a lot of reviewers have been knocking the story, and while I would 100% agree that it's delivery is less than optimal, I think it's caused several people to overlook just how compelling the overarching plot really is. It reminds me of the Dark Tower, and I wouldn't be surprised if the writers revealed it to be one of their inspirations. For those interested, check out videos that summarize the lore of Chronos Before the Ashes and Remnant 1. Chronos was a barely passable souls like/Zelda action adventure, but I appreciate the hell out of it for how it expanded on the world building.
Can't wait to dive into this tonight!
i watched many videos on this this game and yours was the one that sold me.
How does co op scaling work? Is it tied to whoever had the highest upgraded gear, the host only?
This is one of your best videos by far. Excellent!
The handler is not the first pet class ... I had a badass pet build in remant 1 I buffed them they heals me with their kills among other things
Didn’t start hearing about this game until last week but everything i’ve heard has been positive which is extremely rare nowadays
I'm running a gtx 1060 and i5 6500, will it run this game I haven't seen the specs yet??
I love the part in the story where the mc goes "im going remnant two!"
