Co-op action shooter · Gunfire Games / Gearbox · 2023
Remnant II
4.4/5
Red hot
A souls-like with guns, where worlds are partly randomised and three friends can fight together.
Help on offer
Difficulty settings and co-op revives.
What you do
Shoot and dodge through randomly arranged worlds, fight huge bosses, and build a character with archetypes and gear.
Who it suits
Friends who want a hard co-op game. Easier with a team.
First contact
You crash into a ruined city and fight your first creature boss with a gun. It feels like Dark Souls with a shotgun.
The grind
Each world is shuffled, so friends get different bosses and secrets.
When to cool down
Worldstones save progress; agree a stopping point with your group.
Burns bright
- Great co-op
- Varied worlds
- Strong bosses
Burns you
- DLC adds cost
- Random layouts vary in quality
Verdict
A hard game that is better with friends.
