Grab The Games: Remnant: From the Ashes

Today, I am thrilled to present to you a game I was happy to get my hands on. I am talking about Remnant: From the Ashes. After playing only a few hours, I couldn’t be more pleased not only that we have the opportunity to review it but also that we are going to present why this title is worth at least checking it out! But what is this game? Is it worth the hype? Should you pick it up when available? Stick around, and you will find out now

Let’s start by mentioning a few things about the game itself. Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you’ll set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold and rebuild and then retake what was lost. The world has been thrown into chaos by an ancient evil from another dimension. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you must set out alone or alongside up to two other survivors to face down hordes of deadly enemies to try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and retake what was lost. To begin with, the very first aspect that surprised me is the graphics and, in general, the artwork of the title. They are sharp, unique, and create a fantastic atmosphere for even the most demanding players. 

The world is well designed, full of details, and an excellent soundtrack as well. It manages to create a really good atmosphere. Moreover, I loved the intro of the game and how you can get familiar with all the aspects of the title. There are many different modes and challenges you will face along your journey, from different types of enemies that block almost all your frontal attacks to horde more, an adventure mode, and many more that I honestly don’t know from where to start and what I should mention. The story is quite good as well and kept me at the edge of my seat. As far as the negative aspects are concerned, unfortunately, they are a lot. 

First things first, if you try to play alone and face the various bosses that are available on the Remnant universe, then you are screwed. It is too difficult. Also, there is no objective marker system, and I was wandering around the area, trying to figure out where I should head next. Another personal negative for me is that if you try to play online at the least in the hours that I did want to join other people’s adventures, unfortunately, the population is limited. Moreover, I think that the damage of my class (ex-cultist) was a little bit low, especially when equipped with the coach gun that has only two rounds of ammo. As far as the swamps of Corsus content is concerned, it is simply ok but extremely challenging at the same time.

To sum up, despite the negative aspects, I enjoyed the game to some extent, but at the end of the day, I can’t recommend it. I, honestly, expected more from it that didn’t deliver in the end. If you are eager to buy it, I suggest doing it only during a sale.
