Remnant: From the Ashes

Played it co-op, definitely had fun. Level design gets boring after a while. Combat does not feel perfect, but enjoyable. Boss designs were quite good.

Dropped. Feels like an MMO quest line. The combat is alright, but if there's no intriguing story. There's no reason for me to progress. I looked up that this game focuses on loot and RNG map generation, so sort of like a roguelite. Which is not my kind of game.

Clunky controls, but fun in multiplayer.

This is a good example of why you seek out these AA games that are a little rough around the edges. It doesn't technically do anything original but it does what it does well. The shooting especially feels really good, and as noted, the gameplay loop is a lot of fun. Good world, cool abilities, fun challenging bosses. A lot of fun with a friend. It's actually one of the games from 2019 that I keep thinking about.

Solid title with, most importantly, a fun gameplay loop. Each playthrough is quite short, however, and after a little while it feels a bit sparce in content.
