Oh hey - I'm playing through Remnant 2 right now! Just finished 100% achievements in the first Remnant a couple weeks back (I do not recommend going for that, by the way, it's a grind tha t sucked a lot of the fun out by the end). Remnant is by far my favorite "AA" game series. It really feels like human beings with creativity made it and didn't hate themselves doing it. There's polish in places you don't expect it, and there's lumps and bumps and grime all over at the same time that makes it flawed, but in a charming way. My only real gripe is there are a handful of "insta-kill" boss fights/puzzles in 2 that are not optional and legitimately hamper the experience. I don't feel good after finally completing them... Too much rng combined with figuring out the puzzle/pattern to where even if you perfect the motions there's still a small chance you fail anyways because the digital dice deemed it so. But that one (large) complaint aside I'm having a blast even though I'm playing it solo. The story is nothing to write home about, it's a UE5 game so YMMV on how it runs, but I've sorely missed games that aren't live service or mega-blockbuster in design and scope. If you like the Soulslike formula, and/or enjoy a bit of a gear grind and buildcraft, you'd probably enjoy Remnant and Remnant 2. Definitely worth it on a steep sale if nothing else. Plus, it has up to 3 person co-op!
