Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures.

It's being called Dark Souls with guns - but that doesn't feel right. There's Dark Souls elements (mostly how hard, respawing enemies and bonfire like checkpoints (but only the most recent one in the world can be traveled to...these ARE checkpoints, not Bonfire/Lantern replacements). There's elements of Rogue-like games in here too. And diablo-esq looting (although mostly for upgrade materials).

It's a third person shooter where your main defense is to dodge...or use abilities gained from each boss.

If you're finding the game/boss you're on to hard - re-roll campaign and restart...but the world scales up with you.

It's "procedurally generated" in that the layout of each area will change (although to be honest, not in any meaningful way) but the dungeons and bosses you'll encounter will vary from campaign to campaign. (Add in Affixes like diablo that change enounters too. Normal Boss Shroud? Easy. Enchanted Shroud? Let's re-roll that campaign: ) This means the abilities you earn (that come from bosses) won't be the same for every player as boss order changes.

A friend and I have been having good fun in co-op. It's definitely an AA title, but the price reflects that.

Hooray, the cricket-themed one-player adventure I’ve always wanted to- what? Oh. :(

Austin Walker over at Waypoint is strawberry floating loving this. I'm tempted, but I don't really like the art style from what I've seen.

Bought it, played 30 mins, refunded it.

Will prob buy when it drops in price but thought it looked bobbins. Can imagine it's much better in coop.

The first area certainly is generic post apocalyptic city - I'm told it gets more varied later on

But it is not (so far) a looker...and I'd imagine it'll never be. It's very much an AA title

Apparently it doesn't really start getting good for a few hours, but when it goes places it goes places.

But yeah, the screenies do look a bit rubbish.

Worth it in singleplayer or just co-op?

I've enjoyed it in both - it's pretty easy to drop/in out.

Watched EZA playing it the other day, they were in a sewerery area and it just reminded me of Bloodborne.

Downloaded this on Gamepass to try it out, started playing and got the Dragon Heart and ugh...it's going to be some Soulsborne shite isn't it?

Free? Cool. I'll check it out. (It was a PS+ game, aye?)

We're incredibly excited to announce that on Thursday, May 13, Remnant: From the Ashes will receive a free major upgrade patch that will add the option to run the game at 4K resolution at 30fps the PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X, or 1080p resolution at 60fps on both the PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X/S!

Also on May 13, Remnant: From the Ashes will be available on the Microsoft Store App and the Xbox App for Windows 10, or accessed as part of the Xbox Game Pass for PC program -- each of which will have cross-play support with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S players.

Now is the best time to jump into Remnant - a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you'll set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and then retake what was lost. Follow our Twitter and Facebook pages for official announcements, and join the devs and other players on our official Discord server!

Further to my earlier comments, this does indeed go places after the first rubbish area. It is extremely good.

Opening area after you get saved totally put me off. It was painfully generic and dull af.

I’ve been intending to try it too, so the update is a good incentive boost.

I gave it a go on PS plus. It's good-ish. Need a lobby though. I got kicked for playing a female character at least twice (probably as there was no strawberry floating reason).

Agree the opening area is pretty dull, and it also has difficulty spikes / choke points. Co-op souls-esque, then.

"It should be common sense to just accept the message Nintendo are sending out through their actions."
