If you are playing on an overpowered love-to-overheat Intel i9-13900KS (6GHz) like me, some Unreal 5 games have trouble with it, using the free Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, turning your P-core ration to x54 solved any issues (at least for me). Just want to put that out there! i9 13th gen is a doozy :p Also for those curious, Yuna also played the game a lot and she loves Losomn most, and I love Yaesha most. Can't wait for Dark Horizon in just a few days!
Hey Gaijin just FYI, if the CPU problem you’re describing is the one I think it is you have to manually update your BIOs for a real fix. The newest intel CPUs are slowly burning themselves out and underclocking it like you described isn’t a full fix. Your CPU is likely still degrading faster than it should even if it isn’t having issue with UE5 games. If you didn’t already know about all that then I highly recommend you do some research to see if you are affected. What you need specifically is microcode update x129, which can only be applied through a manual BIOs update.
@@boahnoa99 Yeah I have a 14700 and this update was available about a month ago from my motherboard company. Check on your motherboards driver website and it should be there, it won't get pushed automatically through windows update.
I've not played the game yet, but there was a rumour or leak a week or so ago, saying they've poured their heart and soul into the new DLC and it's going to be amazing
My buddy and I played this at launch going in blind and it was hillarious. "Hey how you liking it? These castle guards are really kicking my ass. How are you managing?" "Castle guards?? I'm fighting flying space things!" We had no idea we'd get different starts lol.
The early start of Remnant 2 was fantastic. Everyone starting in different worlds meeting up with completely different outfits and gear. Really felt as though we were a band of interdimensional travelers.
Bro, this was the same exact situation I was in with my friend at launch lmao. I was talking about the big hulking executioners and he was like "the WHAT? I'm fighting robots and a giant armored meatball on the moon"
I hit the palace in Lotsom first run on veteran and just couldn't make it anyone. I put the gsme down for 2 months and tried again and pulled Lotsom again and wtf... now I'm in the hood and it's more manageable lol
I absolutelly hate the secrets, 90% of them are pure bullshit like getting the leto armor, or doing 100 flips in front of regie or the wordt of them, unlocking the archon. Im all up for rewarding exploration, but when most of your classes and equipment are too well hidden that i need a guide to find them instead of rewarding me with gear after doing a quest or some boss like in the first game then its a problem

How is matchmaking? I don't have a steam friends list and just want to click a button and matchmake into a game and perhaps make a new friend.....is this possible or is it like every other modern game with poor matchmaking or non at all......
Happy traveling! ;) The protagonist of each game in the series has a title: Chronos = The Destroyer (The Destroyer might also be The Dreamer in Remnant 1) Remnant = The Wanderer Remnant 2 = The Traveler
There's no "might" about it. It's been confirmed that The Dreamer is The Destroyer. I'll see if I can find the source, but I know it's been confirmed by Gunfire before.
Playing co-op with friends in this for our first play through was a genuinely unforgettable experience. The dumb shenanigans that occurred while trying to figure out puzzles and stuff for the first time was such a fun time. Highly recommend this game to anyone who is also looking for a god tier co-op game
It is very very well known. Mostly for being an incredibly mid game that its rabid fanbase props up to high heavens despite no one else understanding why.
As someone who played the first Remnant and Remnant 2 at launch, this is a pretty good summary. It also has probably the most supportive and helpful community of any online game. A lot of veterans who love the game and love to help out others.
As soon as I found the Summoner archetype, I was locked the fuck in. I started looking for all kinds of synergies to make my little meatballs do work. Then I unlocked the big Root Reaver summon at level 10 and suddenly I was a backup dancer to my BIG BOI doing big damage. I'd let him run in, take the aggro and drop all kinds of support mods from my guns and utility buffs from my Handler secondary archetype. Then when playing through the second DLC, I found an amulet that gave my pet a TON of extra damage and some movement speed, but lowered my Damage Reduction considerably. So now I was a glass support protecting my even beefier boi. THEN later on, I accidentally stumbled upon an event that allowed me to change that amulet into a different form that got rid of the negative, and gave even more movement speed. And now boi moves like a fucking olympic sprinter when it's time to beat some shitty fae. This all hapened organically as I played the game. And that's just one possible build path. You could stumble across anything and decide "This is my flavour" then every new ring/amulet/weapon/etc. you find is another chance at new synergies, new powerups, new playstyles to augment that. Genuinely a once in a generation game experience.
Me and two buddy's played this non stop on launch. Beat the game and immediately jumped back in on the next hardest play through and started min maxing builds. We even knocked out a hardcore run for the gun and ring rewards, i'm so hyped for DLC 3 and glad to see others talking about this game.
I feel this way about Remnant 2 as well. The game is SO well balanced around making you feel like you are constantly finding worthwhile upgrades to your character. Too many games have failed at this.
I played Remnant 2, but not entirely though. I found it fun, as I also played Remnant 1 (or Remnant of the ashes). But I kind of struggled with the "where to go and what to do" part of the game. I also felt overwhelmed because of a place I went to where I got my ass kicked, but I was almost fully upgraded, which was quite frustrating. But maybe I need to try it out again.
Both games scale the world to your level upon entering the world. I think the first game has icons to show if your armor/weapons are underleveled. If u upgraded your weapon to much without focusing on armor u might have started dieing easily
Played the shit out of the first game, Remnant from the Ashes. Now I'm playing Remnant 2 on PC with my friend who has it on PS5. Really enjoying it. I've unlocked everything the game has to offer and I've made so many builds the build tabs are not enough anymore. 😅 Great video! Keep up the good work!
I have been spreading the gospel of this game for almost a year now. And everytime i convinced a friend to get it (and thats by offering to do a full playthru with them) they tell me a little while later "how did I not hear about this game, its sooooo good". Also this was my personal goty last year.
I feel like remnant 1 was shot in the foot so hard by the “dark souls with guns” attention it got in its initial coverage which was EXTREMELY reductive and doesn’t even come close to describing what that game was capable of. Remnant 1 was already amazing in so many ways and 2 deepened the build crafting to a massive degree and gave us more of the style of planets and bosses and secrets we’d come to love from the first. Couldnt ask for more (I miss Ward Prime though that’s still the coolest area for me).
Having played the game a decent amount of time on XBOX Series X, I can tell you that outside of some very minor glitches (that didn't really affect gameplay at all), the game performed perfectly for me and my friends. We were even playing co-op in a team of 3, where one of us has terrible Internet, and there were still pretty much 0 bugs. I can't wait to see what comes with the DLC tomorrow, and even though it might be a couple of years away, I can only imagine how insane Remnant 3 could be. Easily one of the best and most fun multiplayer games I've ever played. I would recommend it to everybody 👍
One cool difficulty adjusting mechanic is campaign re-rolling. On my first playthrough I chose nightmare and got hard stuck on a boss. I had the option to re-roll my campaign while keeping my character and loot. In this case you could lower difficulty, but instead I ran nightmare again, and got a different boss, but notably the gear I gained from both campaigns making it to the boss made it so I was able to clear where before I was too weak. It's such a unique and cool approach to difficulty that I've never seen anywhere else. If you enjoy the brutally hard games, I'd recommend trying out the higher difficulties blind for Rem2, because it has this option if you ever get truly stuck and it makes every single encounter tense and every piece of loot meaningful.
Almost happened to me was on veteran buy my second boss was red prince which I didn't get enough coins and his modifiers gave him elemental resist and regeneration. Had to learn to dodge every attack while using any item that gave hp regeneration
I'm so ready for the DLC/Expansion coming out tomorrow.. its by far one of my favorite co-op games of all times. Its a perfect blend of dark souls with guns but with its own identity. A hidden gem for most.
It really is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve never loved a game as much as I love remnant: from the ashes…. And remnant II blows it out of the water. Cleaner gun play, smoother mechanics, INSANE build crafting, endless replay-ability, and on par with Elden ring for boss designs. It truly is a genre defining game. And the BIGGEST change to the game comes tomorrow with the 3rd DLC, which is going to turn this game from a 10/10 to at least a 14/10 😂 Can’t fkn wait!
One thing not mentioned is the rewards that are exclusive to difficulty modes. For each of the harder difficulties, there is an exclusive long gun as well as a melee weapon for beating the game on them. So it's definitely worth doing the harder difficulties. Also, I play on PS5 and I've never once encountered any bugs or glitches outside of one for unlocking an archetype (basically your class). So it runs great on consoles too. Definitely worth the price of admission.
I just finished my first playthrough solo and my first co op playthrough yesterday. Im loving this game, and the fact that its crossplay. My best friend and i have been trying to find a crossplay game and this has been just perfect
I do agree, Remnant 2 is quite an amazing game and the best modern coop shooter I have played since Left4Dead 2. I will add that Space Marine 2 is not far behind Remnant 2 and although I don't think it will catch Remnant 2 even after season updates, I could see a possible Space Marines 3 reaching that plateau. The gameplay is so refined in R2 and the manner in which the plethora of secrets are worked into mostly randomly generated levels should be looked at by all other devs in the genre. R2 also does a great job of allowing for a variety of endgame builds that are borderline broken. Do not sleep on Space Marine 2, it is a very similar game in many ways, and it reminds very much of where Remnant 1 was on release but with higher production values.
This is one of my favorite games in a while. Last really notable games for me were Witcher 3 and GoT as being a Witcher or samurai was a lot of fun. This game got me sold since first game put 500 hours in helping people and playing all the content in the game. Still missing some traits and mods and what not too. There's so much hidden stuff in this game which makes it so enjoyable. Can't wait for Tuesday dlc launch
Ahh the game is so good. I really really just enjoyed this game and you put a lot of what Ive loved about it into words. I find myself always coming back to it. Its just a comfortable game to pick up and play. Fun with no investment just diving into coop or rerolling a world. And fun with high investment trying to get a complete build and run going. Its just plain good fun. The games made to be fun first. Really happy this game series is a thing and hope we see a third or a proper full sized expansion in the future!
Dot builds for life!!! I just came here to gush over this game. It’s amazing! New dlc dropping soon so if your haven’t played it, it’s the perfect time to do so. 10/10 Masterpiece
My favorite game of all time for me. Im about to turn 32. This game, elden ring, Call of Duty, Halo. And ofcourse super mario and mario kart. All games ive invested more than 400hrs
Wow this was a very good video. Please make more and know that there will be more content for PC users thanks to a group of people working on a Remnant From Hell Mod 2
Best explanation of the game I have seen and one of my favorite games to ever come out. I really hope they make more dlc and harder bosses with more mechanics. I want some true end game optional bosses that make annihilation look like a joke. I want a new class of elite enemy’s (ultras or something) that are harder random encounters to add into the hardest difficulty. Maybe like a tree centipede in yesha that when killed breaks into 2 root mantis. Or a flying jellyfish flower that when killed plants itself into the ground and sprouts an elite from the yesha dlc. I want more puzzle bosses like the lab sentinal and more to the lab in general. Maybe like a boss you need to fight while navigating a platform section with a portal puzzle all while dodging and shooting
While I disagree for playing "forever". It is definitely finite as I am nearing the end of all the potential items I can collect. That said, I absolutely love this game. I bought this game with no knowledge of the series didn't come in with any expectations. Easily one of my favorite games. The amount you can do it huge and is a blast to play. I've spent countless hours making fun builds. It's right up there in difficulty that I enjoy too. As a MH fan, it definitely scratches that similar itch.
N"Erud is actually a Giant Construct, it's a Planet like Spaceship the Drzyr created to travel the Universe and find life, in their Universe they are the only life that exists they just didn't know.
To add a bit when they reached the center of the universe they entered the black hole. But due to relativity when they left the heat death of the universe had already ocured
It's one of the coolest games to play. There is pretty much nothing like this on market that does everything so well. Just like baldurs gate 3 feels like peak of tactical RPG, remnant 2 feels like peek of action RPG whit rouge like on grander scale
This game really is a blast there’s a ton of content and replay ability with so many fun secrets to find and builds to make, I’m really hoping this last dlc and especially the boss rush mode add that final bit of “endgame” that the game didn’t really have besides doing apocalypse of each of the worlds and a hardcore run
where have you been!!?? this is a classic by now with a great community. also there is HC mode for unique rewards and one of the most rewarding and tense experience in gaming in decades. also the devs are super activity on the discord
The only thing I'm not fond of is that they provide us with this sense of replayability with all of the gear on variant bosses/stories, yet in the end it still ends up feeling like a stale attempt at an "endgame". I'm hoping that their next game provides a true endgame loop that scratches the itch they're attempting to scratch with this game.
Ahh well done Gaijin. I love you for the MH content. Glad to see that you enjoy my second favorite game (after MH series) as well. I feel like most people not know what Remnant 2 is and don't even give it a chance.
Loved this game so much I had beaten it 12 to 16 times just looking for all those instances dog handler is a strong class and combined with the gunslinger just slap
I was already planning to play the 2 games together with a friend just for the "Souls Shooter" curiosity while browsing GamePass, then your twitter feed really hyped it to me, and now with this video, I need to inject remnant 2 directly on my veins ASAP.
The first Remnant is still a pretty good game but going from Remnant 1 to 2 is like jumping from Dark Souls 3 to Elden Ring, it's kinda more of the same but refined and expanded in every way possible.
The one thing I will say is that there are several items that feel like it never would've been found unless you datamined the game, and that's not exactly a good thing. For Archon, it makes sense since it's a really powerful class, and they wanted it to have that 'glitch in the matrix' feel, but even then, there should be some type of guidance on how to get that. Imagine someone comes to this game 5-10 years from now, and they don't look anything up. They'd miss out on several weapons, at minimum 2 entire Archetypes (Archon and Invoker), and a ton of trinkets and rings. There's so many hidden items without any in-game guidance that it's not unfeasible to think that these would be unknown and unreachable if the outside information to this game gets lost to the sands of time.
Archon I agree is impossible to find without outside help. Invoker I disagree, there are multiple oddity’s in the invoker unlock room that point to something being hidden there - there are two sand piles in that corner while the rest have 1 - the ballista traps are broken in the exact location you need to stand in -you actually sink into the ground showing progress at the right location -and finally and the most damming one, there is a magic circle spinning in the exact location you need to stand in for 5 mins It might have taken a while, but this was perfectly findable as it rests in game
@arkcantoscreampsnpc7274 While you're not wrong, I do want to point out one thing: why would anyone stand in a trap? In a game where death is around every corner and a room that already has several deadly traps, why would anyone stand in the circle? For several minutes at a time at that? It makes no sense to do so unless you have someone hint at it or a notebook in another part of the level. Or better yet, use that magic circle in multiple spots. Have it act as a spot where the players know it's safe, so when they realize they're sinking, they don't immediately bolt, which would be the sensible thing to do.
@@NathanTruby Not for nothing but, I found it without help and I know of several others who have as well. The reason you don't need all of that stuff you suggest is meta-knowledge. This is a video game. Video games come with certain expectations of having to do unorthodox things. In particular, this is Remnant, Remnant prepares you for certain expectations, namely, it builds an expectation that you're going to have to devote some time to observing rooms and thinking about puzzles and even engage with traps. Yaesha has several puzzles that force you to work with traps to solve them. This one is fairly tame compared to the rising pillars that will crush you if you don't jump through an illusory wall. A player who is attentive, a player who has run through the Lost Kingdom DLC a couple of times, eventually they're going to notice that room is a bit odd.
Got around 90+hours in this game. Its great, but you definetly burn out after a while If you dont have a clear objective. Like going for some specific Ring etc. Also The game could use a search function for necks and rings. Kinda like how you can search for specific armor skills in MH.
Bro, I resumed playing this game again with my buddy just last night haha Loved the first one, and while I enjoyed the bosses more in the first game, I can't deny they improved a lot upon their first entry.
I played the first game with friends and enjoyed it. I haven't tried 2 yet, but this glowing recommendation definitely bumped it up on my list. In the first, I primarily played with melee weapons, even though the game still seemed to overall want you to use guns. I'll have to see how melee builds work out in this...
Can wait to hear Rurikhan gush about this in the next third fleet podcast. Gunfire games has made an amazing game in both remnant 1 and 2 and I cant wait for the dlc to drop
Very surprised to see you cover this game, and glad that you liked it! I enjoy Remnant 2 as well, especially the buildcrafting elements. I like a lot of the things it does to play with the Souls formula, and it ends up feeling fresh rather than derivative because of it.
Happy to see a new Gaijin video! I played the first Remnant game and absolutely loved it (even tho I sucked at it). Did you use a controller or mouse/keyboard to play Remnant II? What do you think is the best way to play it? I play Dark Souls games with a controller, but played the first Remnant game with mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking of picking up Remnant II once I get a ROG Ally X, so it's going to be a controller setup.
This game LOVES to hide stuff from you and there are so many hidden little things, be it weapon, accessories or relics so if you're into finding everything you'll be playing forever. I respect that
The secrets in this game are like old school game secrets. One of those secrets is so obscure that I think it would be impossible to figure it out yourself.
Oh damn I did a coop run with my partner last year when the game dropped and havent really touched it since then, I wasnt aware I left so much content unplayed haha
One of these days I'll give this game a proper shot, picked it up and played it for a few hours and enjoyed what I played but then literally everything else came out.
Well, well, well, look who's crawling back from the catnip... But seriously good to hear from you, I was actually playing the game when I noticed you uploaded xD L
I think my build for this was a mix of ritualist and challenger. Status was so good last time I played. Just waiting for the final dlc before i purchase all of them and play again.

THIS GAME is in fact an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! I love this game. Remnant 1 to 2 was the same as the AC1 to AC2 leap.
This game has a ton of milage with so many secrets and builds to work for. Love it.

I have been spreading the gospel of this game for almost a year now. And everytime i convinced a friend to get it (and thats by offering to do a full playthru with them) they tell me a little while later "how did I not hear about this game, its sooooo good".
Also this was my personal goty last year.
Their art team is exceptional.
I feel like remnant 1 was shot in the foot so hard by the “dark souls with guns” attention it got in its initial coverage which was EXTREMELY reductive and doesn’t even come close to describing what that game was capable of. Remnant 1 was already amazing in so many ways and 2 deepened the build crafting to a massive degree and gave us more of the style of planets and bosses and secrets we’d come to love from the first. Couldnt ask for more (I miss Ward Prime though that’s still the coolest area for me).
Having played the game a decent amount of time on XBOX Series X, I can tell you that outside of some very minor glitches (that didn't really affect gameplay at all), the game performed perfectly for me and my friends. We were even playing co-op in a team of 3, where one of us has terrible Internet, and there were still pretty much 0 bugs.
I can't wait to see what comes with the DLC tomorrow, and even though it might be a couple of years away, I can only imagine how insane Remnant 3 could be.
Easily one of the best and most fun multiplayer games I've ever played. I would recommend it to everybody 👍
Look, I'll be brief, for me this game deserved the GOTY.
FAXXXX
One cool difficulty adjusting mechanic is campaign re-rolling. On my first playthrough I chose nightmare and got hard stuck on a boss. I had the option to re-roll my campaign while keeping my character and loot. In this case you could lower difficulty, but instead I ran nightmare again, and got a different boss, but notably the gear I gained from both campaigns making it to the boss made it so I was able to clear where before I was too weak. It's such a unique and cool approach to difficulty that I've never seen anywhere else. If you enjoy the brutally hard games, I'd recommend trying out the higher difficulties blind for Rem2, because it has this option if you ever get truly stuck and it makes every single encounter tense and every piece of loot meaningful.
Almost happened to me was on veteran buy my second boss was red prince which I didn't get enough coins and his modifiers gave him elemental resist and regeneration. Had to learn to dodge every attack while using any item that gave hp regeneration
I'm so ready for the DLC/Expansion coming out tomorrow.. its by far one of my favorite co-op games of all times.
Its a perfect blend of dark souls with guns but with its own identity. A hidden gem for most.
It really is an absolute masterpiece.
I’ve never loved a game as much as I love remnant: from the ashes….
And remnant II blows it out of the water. Cleaner gun play, smoother mechanics, INSANE build crafting, endless replay-ability, and on par with Elden ring for boss designs.
It truly is a genre defining game. And the BIGGEST change to the game comes tomorrow with the 3rd DLC, which is going to turn this game from a 10/10 to at least a 14/10 😂
Can’t fkn wait!
One thing not mentioned is the rewards that are exclusive to difficulty modes. For each of the harder difficulties, there is an exclusive long gun as well as a melee weapon for beating the game on them. So it's definitely worth doing the harder difficulties.
Also, I play on PS5 and I've never once encountered any bugs or glitches outside of one for unlocking an archetype (basically your class). So it runs great on consoles too. Definitely worth the price of admission.
I just finished my first playthrough solo and my first co op playthrough yesterday. Im loving this game, and the fact that its crossplay. My best friend and i have been trying to find a crossplay game and this has been just perfect
I do agree, Remnant 2 is quite an amazing game and the best modern coop shooter I have played since Left4Dead 2. I will add that Space Marine 2 is not far behind Remnant 2 and although I don't think it will catch Remnant 2 even after season updates, I could see a possible Space Marines 3 reaching that plateau. The gameplay is so refined in R2 and the manner in which the plethora of secrets are worked into mostly randomly generated levels should be looked at by all other devs in the genre. R2 also does a great job of allowing for a variety of endgame builds that are borderline broken. Do not sleep on Space Marine 2, it is a very similar game in many ways, and it reminds very much of where Remnant 1 was on release but with higher production values.
This is one of my favorite games in a while. Last really notable games for me were Witcher 3 and GoT as being a Witcher or samurai was a lot of fun. This game got me sold since first game put 500 hours in helping people and playing all the content in the game. Still missing some traits and mods and what not too. There's so much hidden stuff in this game which makes it so enjoyable. Can't wait for Tuesday dlc launch
Ahh the game is so good. I really really just enjoyed this game and you put a lot of what Ive loved about it into words. I find myself always coming back to it. Its just a comfortable game to pick up and play. Fun with no investment just diving into coop or rerolling a world. And fun with high investment trying to get a complete build and run going. Its just plain good fun. The games made to be fun first. Really happy this game series is a thing and hope we see a third or a proper full sized expansion in the future!
Dot builds for life!!!
I just came here to gush over this game. It’s amazing! New dlc dropping soon so if your haven’t played it, it’s the perfect time to do so.
10/10
Masterpiece
Good job explaining this game, its one of my favorites and to me should be game of the year
Heck yeah! This game is insanely good. I've enjoyed it so much more than I ever thought I would.
People seem to forget, like the SOnic movie, we bullied the devs into changing the game for the better
My favorite game of all time. I’m about to be 30 and gamed since doom
Remnant II with this new update will be the best coop game since Monster Hunter
Glad to see you posting again. Just in time for the new Wilds trailer !
My favorite game of all time for me. Im about to turn 32. This game, elden ring, Call of Duty, Halo. And ofcourse super mario and mario kart. All games ive invested more than 400hrs
This game is so underated, the whole thing is so good
Wow this was a very good video. Please make more and know that there will be more content for PC users thanks to a group of people working on a Remnant From Hell Mod 2
Best explanation of the game I have seen and one of my favorite games to ever come out. I really hope they make more dlc and harder bosses with more mechanics.
I want some true end game optional bosses that make annihilation look like a joke.
I want a new class of elite enemy’s (ultras or something) that are harder random encounters to add into the hardest difficulty. Maybe like a tree centipede in yesha that when killed breaks into 2 root mantis.
Or a flying jellyfish flower that when killed plants itself into the ground and sprouts an elite from the yesha dlc.
I want more puzzle bosses like the lab sentinal and more to the lab in general. Maybe like a boss you need to fight while navigating a platform section with a portal puzzle all while dodging and shooting
Delighted you found and enjoyed this game - found it amazing both for solo-play and with friends. Enjoy the new expansion :D
I love this game I think I spent 50 hours alone looking for rings for my builds
While I disagree for playing "forever". It is definitely finite as I am nearing the end of all the potential items I can collect. That said, I absolutely love this game. I bought this game with no knowledge of the series didn't come in with any expectations. Easily one of my favorite games. The amount you can do it huge and is a blast to play. I've spent countless hours making fun builds. It's right up there in difficulty that I enjoy too. As a MH fan, it definitely scratches that similar itch.
Best game I’ve played in years. I have 100 hours so far and I’ve not finished all the DLC yet.
I've been waiting for the final DLC to be released to experience the game in its final form and I look forward to finally jump in!
So happy to see more people talking about Remnant 2.
Dude you didn't spoke enough about how numerous and good the puzzle are, secret discovery in this game make look elden ring like child play.
N"Erud is actually a Giant Construct, it's a Planet like Spaceship the Drzyr created to travel the Universe and find life, in their Universe they are the only life that exists they just didn't know.
To add a bit when they reached the center of the universe they entered the black hole. But due to relativity when they left the heat death of the universe had already ocured
I feel that it's a Soulsborne Shooter with really strong Warframe influence. Works quite nicely tbh.
Remnant 2 and Lies of P are tied on my 2023 GOTY
I remember being 100+h and still fighting monsters I've never seen
It's one of the coolest games to play. There is pretty much nothing like this on market that does everything so well. Just like baldurs gate 3 feels like peak of tactical RPG, remnant 2 feels like peek of action RPG whit rouge like on grander scale
This game really is a blast there’s a ton of content and replay ability with so many fun secrets to find and builds to make, I’m really hoping this last dlc and especially the boss rush mode add that final bit of “endgame” that the game didn’t really have besides doing apocalypse of each of the worlds and a hardcore run
easily one of my favorite games this gen
where have you been!!?? this is a classic by now with a great community. also there is HC mode for unique rewards and one of the most rewarding and tense experience in gaming in decades. also the devs are super activity on the discord
The only thing I'm not fond of is that they provide us with this sense of replayability with all of the gear on variant bosses/stories, yet in the end it still ends up feeling like a stale attempt at an "endgame". I'm hoping that their next game provides a true endgame loop that scratches the itch they're attempting to scratch with this game.
The Losomn story with Faelin/Faerin is called "Imposter Kings", not "The Forgotten Kingdom". That is the DLC story for Yaesha.
Oops maybe I had copy pasta mistake :/
@@gaijinhunter Great overview and explanation, Game-of-the-Year for me for sure. Enjoy DLC3!
Ahh well done Gaijin. I love you for the MH content. Glad to see that you enjoy my second favorite game (after MH series) as well. I feel like most people not know what Remnant 2 is and don't even give it a chance.
this is a great game, happy to see you enjoying it with your daughter
Thank you for not calling it a looter shooter 🙏 I'm subscribing just because of that 😂
I’m really looking forward to the free boss rush update. It’s going to allow for some continuous combat and challenge for even endgame builds.
Remnant II, is simply a masterpiece.
one of my favorite games of sll time
Loved this game so much I had beaten it 12 to 16 times just looking for all those instances dog handler is a strong class and combined with the gunslinger just slap
I was already planning to play the 2 games together with a friend just for the "Souls Shooter" curiosity while browsing GamePass, then your twitter feed really hyped it to me, and now with this video, I need to inject remnant 2 directly on my veins ASAP.
The first Remnant is still a pretty good game but going from Remnant 1 to 2 is like jumping from Dark Souls 3 to Elden Ring, it's kinda more of the same but refined and expanded in every way possible.
I still can’t believe Remnant 2 didn’t win GOTY
The one thing I will say is that there are several items that feel like it never would've been found unless you datamined the game, and that's not exactly a good thing.
For Archon, it makes sense since it's a really powerful class, and they wanted it to have that 'glitch in the matrix' feel, but even then, there should be some type of guidance on how to get that.
Imagine someone comes to this game 5-10 years from now, and they don't look anything up. They'd miss out on several weapons, at minimum 2 entire Archetypes (Archon and Invoker), and a ton of trinkets and rings. There's so many hidden items without any in-game guidance that it's not unfeasible to think that these would be unknown and unreachable if the outside information to this game gets lost to the sands of time.
Archon I agree is impossible to find without outside help.
Invoker I disagree, there are multiple oddity’s in the invoker unlock room that point to something being hidden there
- there are two sand piles in that corner while the rest have 1
- the ballista traps are broken in the exact location you need to stand in
-you actually sink into the ground showing progress at the right location
-and finally and the most damming one, there is a magic circle spinning in the exact location you need to stand in for 5 mins
It might have taken a while, but this was perfectly findable as it rests in game
@arkcantoscreampsnpc7274 While you're not wrong, I do want to point out one thing: why would anyone stand in a trap? In a game where death is around every corner and a room that already has several deadly traps, why would anyone stand in the circle? For several minutes at a time at that? It makes no sense to do so unless you have someone hint at it or a notebook in another part of the level.
Or better yet, use that magic circle in multiple spots. Have it act as a spot where the players know it's safe, so when they realize they're sinking, they don't immediately bolt, which would be the sensible thing to do.
@@NathanTruby Not for nothing but, I found it without help and I know of several others who have as well.
The reason you don't need all of that stuff you suggest is meta-knowledge. This is a video game. Video games come with certain expectations of having to do unorthodox things. In particular, this is Remnant, Remnant prepares you for certain expectations, namely, it builds an expectation that you're going to have to devote some time to observing rooms and thinking about puzzles and even engage with traps. Yaesha has several puzzles that force you to work with traps to solve them. This one is fairly tame compared to the rising pillars that will crush you if you don't jump through an illusory wall.
A player who is attentive, a player who has run through the Lost Kingdom DLC a couple of times, eventually they're going to notice that room is a bit odd.
That's literally the entire game. Everything requires Insider knowledge.
Archon and agony were included as a nod to data miners a secret for them to find
Got around 90+hours in this game. Its great, but you definetly burn out after a while If you dont have a clear objective. Like going for some specific Ring etc. Also The game could use a search function for necks and rings. Kinda like how you can search for specific armor skills in MH.
Im curently replaying the first game just waiting for all the content to release do dive INTO de sequel.
Bro, I resumed playing this game again with my buddy just last night haha
Loved the first one, and while I enjoyed the bosses more in the first game, I can't deny they improved a lot upon their first entry.
I played the first game with friends and enjoyed it. I haven't tried 2 yet, but this glowing recommendation definitely bumped it up on my list. In the first, I primarily played with melee weapons, even though the game still seemed to overall want you to use guns. I'll have to see how melee builds work out in this...
Replaying various times this game finding all the secrets and itens was super fun.
I'm waiting for the new DLC as we speak. It should come out in a few hours!
This game was my game of the year.
Woo hoo! New gaijin hunter AND it’s about a game i love! Hope life is treating you well.
Loved the first one! Haven't played the sequel yet. I see a lot of returning mechanics. Remnant is my favorite Souls-like ever.
Can wait to hear Rurikhan gush about this in the next third fleet podcast. Gunfire games has made an amazing game in both remnant 1 and 2 and I cant wait for the dlc to drop
Very surprised to see you cover this game, and glad that you liked it! I enjoy Remnant 2 as well, especially the buildcrafting elements.
I like a lot of the things it does to play with the Souls formula, and it ends up feeling fresh rather than derivative because of it.
Thank you for the video! I will definitively try it 👍
Happy to see a new Gaijin video! I played the first Remnant game and absolutely loved it (even tho I sucked at it). Did you use a controller or mouse/keyboard to play Remnant II? What do you think is the best way to play it? I play Dark Souls games with a controller, but played the first Remnant game with mouse and keyboard. I'm thinking of picking up Remnant II once I get a ROG Ally X, so it's going to be a controller setup.
Game is full of secrets. Its a true gem.
This game LOVES to hide stuff from you and there are so many hidden little things, be it weapon, accessories or relics so if you're into finding everything you'll be playing forever. I respect that
The secrets in this game are like old school game secrets. One of those secrets is so obscure that I think it would be impossible to figure it out yourself.
Yup I have 32 more items to collect out of 751 items in the game pre dlc 3. Will be alot more after tomorrow lol. Have over 300 hours playtime.
Oh damn I did a coop run with my partner last year when the game dropped and havent really touched it since then, I wasnt aware I left so much content unplayed haha
DLC 3 **TOMORROW**, let’s go!!
Sweet, I'll check it out in the near future.
Extremely excited for the dlc and the new mode. In trying to get my wife into it and hopefully she eventually tries it :D
Did anyone else hear Rui in the background being very happy about Gaijin playing this? XD
I bet I’ve played it twice as much as he has at this point :p
I came to say "another successful Ruri khan's suggestion" glad you are enjoying this fantastic game as much!
this game deserves 11/10
One of these days I'll give this game a proper shot, picked it up and played it for a few hours and enjoyed what I played but then literally everything else came out.
I spent alot of time with elden ring so I missed out on the dlcs. Going to get the season pass and get sucked back into this
Just hope they optimize the game better. That and the iffy main story is the only things holding this game back from being perfect for me.
Well, well, well, look who's crawling back from the catnip... But seriously good to hear from you, I was actually playing the game when I noticed you uploaded xD
L
I think my build for this was a mix of ritualist and challenger. Status was so good last time I played. Just waiting for the final dlc before i purchase all of them and play again.
