Introduction

This video provides a comprehensive review of Remnant 2 after the YouTuber, Mortismal, completed 100% of the game. He discusses various aspects, including performance, character creation, story, progression systems, combat, and Steam Deck compatibility. The review is based on approximately 55-60 hours of gameplay.

Key Takeaways

• Performance: The game ran smoothly for Mortismal, with only one crash and occasional frame rate drops. However, he advises checking negative reviews regarding performance issues before purchasing, especially for PC users.
• Difficulty and Character Creation: The game offers adjustable difficulty, with options like Survivor, Veteran, Nightmare, and Apocalypse. Character creation is limited but allows for some customization. Difficulty can be changed frequently.
• Story and Progression: The story is a direct sequel to Remnant: From the Ashes, though not essential to understand the plot. The game features a non-linear progression with multiple worlds offering unique stories and bosses. The ending is considered disappointing.
• Progression Systems: The game uses archetypes, skills, traits, and gear upgrades for character progression. The 60-point trait cap is considered limiting. Armor is less impactful than in the first game, with its role largely shifted to archetypes. Weapons can be upgraded with mods and mutators.
• Combat and Gameplay: Combat is a refined version of the first game's system, described as "Dark Souls with guns." Bosses are considered fair, with fewer adds compared to the original game. Aberrations are added as challenging mini-bosses, dropping unique upgrade materials. The game is verified for Steam Deck, though frame rates may require adjustment.
