Got the platinum months ago, there's a dozen other games on my backlog, and I'm still playing this instead. Do I need to say more?
I mean, I can say more, if you want. OK, I'll say more.
How 'bout this: If the first Remnant was "Dark Souls with guns", this one is "Bloodborne meets Destiny". Takes the best parts of the soulslike genre and infuses them with all of the best parts of a modern looter-shooter-- smooth aiming and movement mechanics, semi-random dungeons, simple mission-based quest design, swappable classes that each have their own skill progression-- while leaving behind all of the parts of Destiny that I find incredibly annoying. There's no microtransactions or gatcha BS, no need to grind for random drops, and you can do everything as solo or coop instead of all the good stuff being locked behind 6-person raids. It's a chocolate + peanut butter combo that I'm finding irresistible.
This is my GOTY 2023 by a country mile and, if their DLC plans pan out, it could be a solid game-of-the-generation contender.
