Starting off, it's very unfair to rate something that I did not finish, so I will not give a sort of rating. Now to be honest, I was not feeling it from the get go, but I want to have a short tantrum about it.

The gunplay is very good, but despite that, some areas feel poorly designed in some ways, and just became a slog before anything else.

Remnant II also has a feature that can shake up replays, where you will randomly start in some areas and continue on from there. Neat gimmick, but since Remnant II felt like a double edged sword, I ended up having some issues. I only had like 4-6 hours into the game, I started on Ne'rud and got to the Labyrinth. Ne'rud felt uninspired to traverse through, and the Labyrinth just felt too gimmicky to me. I've talked to some friends and they said that I just had a shit start, and while I'm inclined to believe them, I just don't have the effort (or time rn) to push further.

I admit my review is deeply flawed (to the point where I can't really call it a "review"). Granted I was on solo play, and this game was 100% made for the co-op experience. Some day I wanna return to this, mainly if they ever add crossplay. But for now, it's not my cup of tea, despite liking games in the same vein. Damn shame. Maybe I'm missing out. Someday I'll find out.


also the writing is fucking awful lmfao
