[h3]tl;dr[/h3]
very engaging third-person Looter Shooter with Rogue- as well as beginner-friendly Souls-like elements and an incredible replay value
[h3]Overview:[/h3]
Play as the Traveler, a nameless hero trying to survive in a world compromised by the evil Root. Traverse through several completely different Worlds and a total of 9 Storylines (including the DLCs) on your quest to find a cure for the infestation that seeks to afflict every place there is. Remnant II is designed in a way that the goal is for one character to unlock everything, instead of having to play several chars. The game heavily relies on its replay value. You can just restart the campaign as often as you want to, with every time being different than before as the progression is mostly randomized. Which world and which corresponding storyline you encounter first is different in every run. You can also play adventure mode, which just lets you play through a random storyline. Or you just start a Bossrush which explains itself. In terms of gameplay, it’s a straightforward third-person shooter focused on staying alive and killing enemies. In total, there are 4 difficulty levels, and you will need to get stronger if you aim for the higher ones. But don't despair - the challenge is neither mundane nor impossible. Most people should manage to finish it.
[h3]The Good Stuff:[/h3]
First of all, the replay value and the pure content you can get out of Remnant II is incredible. You can play for hundreds of hours and still miss out on several items or occurrences. The game leads you through different worlds, which all have their very unique design, enemies, and world-building, with most of them being well crafted and just a joy for the eyes. The 3D minimap stands out and is appreciated, although it took some time getting used to. The different classes ("Archetypes") that you can unlock feel creative and unique. In general the build system is a huge sandbox that offers a lot of viable diversity and a myriad of ways to play. The bosses mostly feel rewarding, creative, and challenging, especially in the beginning. While the main story won't get any awards for innovation, it is still engaging, and the fact that there is an underlying storyline for each of the different worlds that you can discover and immerse yourself in is very positive. And if you don't care about the story at all, you can ignore the lore to be found and just keep on killin'. Lastly, the game ran very smoothly and was mostly bug-free. I encountered an occasional FPS dip when playing coop, and some minor bosses can glitch and stop moving towards you, which is actually helpful in the beginning. But those encounters are very rare and nothing to get crazy about.
[h3]The Sorta-Kinda-Grinds-My-Gears-Stuff:[/h3]
You can not jump whenever you want, only when the game thinks it's opportune. Otherwise, dodge and jump/vault share the same button. You get used to it but it is something I dislike in general. Just let me jump when I want to jump. Also, some Interactions get a bit tedious after a while, for example, trying to open a locked door. You will enter a mini-interaction scene that can not be skipped. When you encounter a lot of doors, it gets slightly unnerving. Some items are very RNG heavy to obtain, which can get frustrating in the long run. Furthermore, there are several riddles and challenges needed to unlock specific items that just feel arbitrary and somewhat impossible to stumble upon naturally without checking the Wiki. Sometimes it feels like in a crime movie, where the investigator offers his glorious deduction and refers to hints and clues that were not shown to the audience, which is quite unsatisfying.
[h3]The Atrociously-Bad Stuff:[/h3]
I strongly dislike the world-building in the Dark Horizon DLC. I can't even put my finger on it, but it is the story I was glad to be done with and henceforth just skipped and never touched it again. A negative outlier in otherwise brilliant design.
[h3]Achievement-Hunter-Things:[/h3]
All DLCs are mandatory, and it took me roughly 90 hours to reach 100%. Might be a bit off, because I "idled" a couple of hours while scanning the Wiki. I believe it can be done much faster with a bit more planning, as I didn't focus on the Achievements for quite a while. It is recommended to play the Dark Horizon DLC asap. Other than that, nothing too challenging. There are no difficulty related Achievements. All of them can be done on "Survivor" (easy). "The Master Builder" seems to be the most hated one, as many steps and materials are needed for completion, and many voiced opinions declare it as agonizingly grindy. Imho it is not overly grindy. Yes, it takes time, but you just have to play the game. If you play coop, it can even be cheesed. There are many challenges out there that are way more time-consuming and tedious.
[h3]Conclusion:[/h3]
Overall, Remnant II is an outstanding third-person looter shooter that excels in replayability, world-building, and gameplay depth. Highly recommended for fans of challenging but accessible shooters (everything will get easier when you reach endgame min-maxing) and for everyone who likes shootin' and lootin', bossfights and an exhaustive lore filled world to explore with a lot of secrets to unravel.

Underrated game.
I played Remnant: From the Ashes and it was just such a fun experience, I just knew I had to play this when it released.
It's always something new with the changing atmosphere and different paths you can take in the game.
You feel like your experiencing it from start.
Best game to play with friends.
Definitely some challenging boss fights and amazing game mechanics.
Give it a try it's really fun.

I wanted to like this. But the gameplay just kind of... boring. Even in Co-Op. Some of the boss fights are somewhat creative, but even so, I just never felt invested or motivated to carry on.
The story doesn't redeem the lackluster gameplay either; it's just endless technobabble and references to various gods and macguffins.

Just a fantastic Souls-Like overall! Recommended to anyone that loves a challenge and a cool array of classes/load-outs

90% of this game is spent running around in circles with only the vaguest of quest direction. Compared to the tight well designed maps of the first game, these maps are just wide open areas of nothing, infuriatingly tedious puzzles, and endless enemies that just exist to annoy you further. How you manage to go backwards in game development is surely a mystery to be studied.

One of the best games to play with friends. Great replayablility and the world and its secrets are simply amazing.

game literally doesn't load, gets to where it says REMNANT 2 and it crashes.
i managed to get in a day or two later after i tried the last thing. i would definitely recommend this game and there are many secrets to be found and the fights are a lot more forgiving than games of its genre. but the mobbing in this game is pretty hard when starting off,

The more I play this game, the more it keeps surprising me. It’s one of the best co-op experiences I’ve ever had. And even when I play solo, it gives me that same rush I get from the best parts of Souls games. It’s really tough, but beating a boss or making it through a brutal section feels amazing. Every part of this game’s design is truly impressive.

[h1]Solid Co-op Experience[/h1]
Remnant 2 is a good shooting game with some souls like elements and is very similar to the first game. It's simple to play and exploring is interesting with a lot of secrets to find. Pacing is decent but sometimes the dialog with some NPC takes took long and can break the flow in co-op. I finished the game at least 4 times in order to get items and play at higher difficulty, so the game has definitely a bit of replay value.
