REMNANT II®

Compared to Remnant 1, Remnant 2 improves in almost every aspect. Getting this on a sale with all DLCs is a steal. However, it isn't perfect. Positives: - Main plot may be generic but plots and characters of Yaesha, Nerud and Losomn are mostly interesting, and together with the dlc, there's 3 possible stories for each world which gives you a reason to explore them again in Adventure Mode or new Campaign. - Archetype (Classes) system is much better than armor set bonuses, allowing for great build variety and freedom of fashion - Weapon variety is pretty great and encourages experimentation. - Lots of amulets and rings for build crafting and variety. - Main bosses drop different loot based on the way you kill them. - Bosses rely less on adds for difficulty. - Secrets that award bonus weapons and armors. Negatives - Main story is really generic and boring. - Scrap (aka Souls / Currency) is too scarce, making it more grindy than Remannt 1. There's an amulet that gives 50% bonus to scrap bonus but still kept running out of scrap. - Many secrets are too convoluted and obscure, requiring constant searching online or opening wiki for solutions. How is one supposed to know that a class is hidden whats basically out of bounds or require dying in a specific spot of the map? - Bosses still rely on adds to stunlock you. - Stunlock is insane. You can easily get stunlocked by basic mob chaining attacks or spamming projectiles. - Hitboxes of some attacks, especially melee ones, are questionable. - Lots of amulets/rings buff melee, but melee still can't deal with many enemies and bosses unless you use a weapon that can be thrown or send projectiles. - No Reisum (Skaven world)
