2019’s Remnant: From the Ashes was an unlikely hit when it came out, but it was clear that Gunfire Games still had room to expand and refine the game's best elements in order to create something truly special. Deemed “Dark Souls with guns” by its cult fan base, the first Remnant did an admirable job of mixing Soulslike design principles with third-person shooting mechanics and packaging the whole thing with a procedurally generated twist. Remnant 2 now goes deeper, bigger, and bolder with all of these elements, but it often stretches itself too thin when pursuing these new heights.
