Remnant 2 - Before You Buy

Whos here cuz its free on gamepass?

Loved the first one, put probably over 100 hours in with my sniper/crit build. One of the issues I had was it being really hard to play solo bc I just get one- or two-shotted by 75%+ of enemies due to how my build was structured, so I'm really excited to see how the build system has improved and evolved. I played it on PS4 with two buddies after it was a monthly game back in Summer 2021, and we loved it so much we bought all the DLC and replayed it a few times. One of the biggest reasons I finally bit the bullet on upgrading to a PS5 recently was to be able to play this game as well with those same buddies (PLEASE indie devs, find a way to do crossplay on co-op first games!). Beyond pumped to dive back in!

I absolutely loved the first remnant. Different rewards depending on how you took certain bosses down, which led to some serially long sessions trying to beat the bosses the exact way, randomized boss encounters and souls like combat and saving. The story was light but interesting still, and the different worlds you went to were fun. If Remnant 2 is more of the same, I'd be happy.

I loved the 1st one as it was a hidden gem for my crew. We didn’t expect the level of fun and replay-ability it had so I’m excited for this part 2 with better graphics!

I actually don’t buy a game anymore before gameranx drops a before you buy✨

I really enjoyed Remnant I. I really enjoyed how alternate methods of defeating bosses gave different rewards. The same goes for certain side quests. I do hope that the RNG is tweaked some. Having to re-roll worlds because I need an amulet or ring for a build that only appears in specific situations on specific maps was more tedious than necessary.

A big aspect is the procedural generation. Instead of just reorganizing things randomly like most games, the realms actually have multiple map bases on them so things feel fresh. Sometimes you're in the slums in a realm, other times you're in the palace area, there are also multiple stories in each realm so you get a different overall experience every time. It's pretty interesting actually.

Thank you guys for using the wide-screen format for the videos. I truly appreciate that in finally getting to use the real estate my phone offers without having to sacrifice some of the picture.

I went into Remnant and Before the Ashes blind and it became one of my favorite games of all time. I’m looking forward to this one. Well worth it, yallz. Lots of replayability.

I had never even heard of the first game until last week. I saw a video about the second one coming out and checked out the first one on the PS store. Apparently it was already added in my PS library for free. I downloaded it and gave it a try, I have been hooked ever since, such a fine game. Looking forward to part 2!!!

I love this channel and the before you buy videos! I always watch them! It's so good to see if a game is for me or not and I even watch them for games I normally would not be interested in

first one had a far amount of jank but the things that mattered were great, multiple victory conditions for loot meant fighting a boss or doing some quests again was a good thing, the leveling system was uncapped so your character was actually getting stronger over the potential hundreds of hours you could play, the gun mod system was limited but being able to slot in different mods to some guns allowed decent build variety, and one of the best parts was the adventure mode that let you roll a separate instance of the worlds without messing with your story progression so you could focus on farming the individual worlds loot rather then having to start over. one of the dlcs even added a rogue like mode that had skins you could unlock for most armors in the game fav was void carapace turned what was already my main set black with glowing blue veins that actually had an animation on them. there was also a prequal rouge light game called Chronos before the ashes if you are more interested a standard fantasy style rather then third person shooter solo only though

I've been playing early and solo as well. I have about 4 hours in as gunslinger and I'm having a blast. I'm happy to hear that it's only going to get better from here. I played Remnant 1 a little but I took a break once that ended up lasting forever, you know how it is.

Went into the first game with my friend, and we had a blast. We both ended up Platinuming the game, and it became one of our favorite games.

Happy to see the melee has had a much needed improvement from the first game! Great before you buy as always. These are the vids I wait for before deciding 👍🏼

Loved the first one, was super happy when they announced this one since I wasn’t expecting a sequel

Super stoked to play this! First one was an absolute gem and one of my fav games off all time!

remnant 2 is phenomenal. after putting around 1k hours into the first one i am incredibly pleased with the sequel.....they smoothed out alot of our complaints like having unlimited stamina when not in battle haha. still has the fun remnant feel that we all love!

Awesome video and im glad u took the time to actually dig into this one! I have currently over 60 hours in the game and im still rerolling and finding new stuff! By far an upgrade from the last game! I was shocked at the amount of replay value is in this one.. They really listened to the community on this game and were able to keep everything that made Remnant special from other games in the genre.. Also, i put a dumb amount of hours in the first one, well over 200+ hours.. Until they released this sequel, i was still running and helping new ppl in the last game, just an amazing game.. Xbox btw

Got the first game for free with ps plus… honestly one of the good games that I played… very underrated… looking forward to this one!
