    The more I see the more I love it. Just replayed the first one again solo. Hope this will also run great on Steam Deck!

      I was wondering, is this a tough game solo? I’ve read that it’s souls like and I’ve never been particularly good at or have the patience for games like that, but I’ve been interested in remnant for a while. It looks like it’s a blast. I just want to be sure it’s not super unforgiving and frustrating to play like souls games have been for me before I buy it.

        The first one is easier than a dark souls, it never really gets to that difficulty (although I did stop at the final boss as it’s gimmick was super annoying) but the first game is kind of based around multiplayer as almost every boss spawns ads constantly.

          Makes sense. I’ve seen it on sale a few times, and I might pick it up and give it a try. Thanks for the input!

        I played the first one solo and had tons of fun. Some bosses felt like bs but they were manageable with an adjustment in strategy.

        Its 100% doable solo. I am super bad at soulslike games, but this one is much easier as its mainly ranged focused. As bosses scale based on the number of players (hit points, damage, sometimes number of add) some of them are even easier solo and the game is more predictable and tactical.

        Its true there are some annoying places where coop is an advantage, mainly where you need to defend something or someone from waves of enemies, but that is probably 2% of the whole experience and you can always re-roll worlds to get a different boss and dungeons.

        There are also summoner/turret/sniper builds to even the odds, but you can pretty much beat it with any build.

          Glad to hear that, I think I’m gonna give it a run before 2. It’s been on my list for a while but I didn’t want to immediately drop it at a roadblock, being incredibly mediocre at games in general.

    this game looks so fucking awesome and the first game was also a very great game. So this is already a Day 1 buy for me!

      That’s how the first one was. The gimmick was that maps were randomized and instanced with specific events possible to show up. It incentivized re-running each map 6-7 times so you saw all the quests and bosses. It was very balanced around multiplayer though, so hopefully they’ve improved that.

        Maybe this is why I bounced off. When I played, it felt okay up until I came up against my first boss, which was a total wall that kept teleporting away and kept spawning infinite enemies.

    I am not buying AAA games at launch, but I will keep a close eye on the game. Loved the first game and what was shown so far looks great.

      This is not really a AAA game. This is more mid-budget or AA, sold at a cheaper price.

        I mean, it’s still 50 Dollar. I concede that calling it an AAA game is not right, but it’s still an expensive game that I will not buy at launch, certainly no pre-order.

          Same here, I have high hopes for it but I don’t wanna get burned. The first game also had launch issues so it’s not a bad idea to wait a few months for the dust to settle.

    I play R1 co-op with my bro and a friend of ours. Hopefully this gets my bro to finally buy a ps5. ;)
