If you want to play co-op with your friends then you will have to play the game solo at first until you reach a certain point, which makes sense since you still have to choose an archetype (class) before being able to properly fight off your enemies. I personally enjoy creating characters in games that offer a lot of customisation options, for an action game in which you play with other people, I thought it was a shame that there weren’t more options to play around with. I found it really positive that you can choose between gender, hairstyles, skin colour, etc, but at the same time, there weren’t that many other options to make the character truly unique, thus creating a character was fast and unsatisfying. When starting the game for the first time, you can create your own character with customised options, although I found the options to be rather limited. Despite being heavy on the ‘procedurally-generated’ side, Remnant: From the Ashes focused on the story in a way that kept me curious to find out more about what was happening all around me and how everything will play out in the end. With our very existence under threat, we need to find a way to survive by eliminating them all one by one as we venture through portals into dynamically-generated realms and procedurally-created maps. The story is quite simple, there are ancient evil beings from another dimension that have made their way to Earth. It was super fun being able to co-op with my friends as we fought off evil bosses together, but there were a few things I didn’t like about the game which I feel reduced my overall enjoyment whilst playing… So, when I jumped in and tried it out, I was very impressed by its setting and the way it played.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Remnant: From the Ashes, all I knew about it was that it is supposed to be a difficult action-adventure shooter with beautiful visuals. Although a little daunting, it’s not always a bad thing since I get to try out new games which could surprise me and be a nice change of scenery.

I don’t know about you but I sometimes feel like stepping outside of my comfort zone and trying something I usually wouldn’t play.
