What is Remnant 2? In Remnant 2, a strange force from another dimension has engulfed the Earth in the future: The Seed. Deadly creatures made of wood now roam the land, cities are overrun, and you are tasked with putting everything right again.
Unlike the first part, this time you will travel through different worlds in search of the origin of the corruption.
So far, two DLCs for Remnant 2 have been released: The Awakened King and The Forgotten Kingdom, each introducing new classes, items, and bosses while continuing the story.
How does Remnant 2 play: Remnant 2 closely resembles a mix of Dark Souls and a shooter, but it also comes with numerous RPG elements. You have a variety of firearms to choose from with special abilities and fight against huge bosses, as known from Bloodborne and others.
Remnant 2 also features classes that have their own skills and skill trees. For example, you can cast spells, summon servants, roam with a dog companion, or play as the healer or sniper of the group.
After the campaign, you can play the game as a roguelite. The areas will be shuffled, and some content will be randomly generated. This way, you can obtain additional weapons and items, increasing replay value.
