Remnant is a soulslike game according to the friends I played with (I've never played a souls game before, that will soon change) but I liked the way it played so much it might just bump one of those other games on my to play list. This was my second playthrough of the game and I enjoyed it all the same as the first time, although more challenging the first time because this time I just rerolled a campaign with my previous character.

The Co-Op in this game is a whole lot of fun and what I believe is a big part of it's charm and the best way to play. The armour and weapon leveling system is something I really enjoyed, as you progress through each world and defeat bosses you can then make new weapons which gives you more freedom to select and change your loadout as you make your way through the game. Another plus to being able to really uniquely build your character is the trait system as you can put earned trait points into many traits such as more health, more critical hit chances, or even a bonus on the scavenges you find.

As for the campaign, it is a tad bit short clocking in at just around 6-8 hours on an average playthrough. The shortness of the campaign also isn't helping the weakest part of this game which is the story, but with a game where combat is just that good, you'll find enjoyment regardless of it's weak plot.

Overall, Remnant is a game I will probably be finding myself digging into more than the 2 playthroughs I've done so far in the future (I mean I've played through this game twice this year already) but before that I have Remnant 2 to look forward to and I hope to get to it soon!
