Remnant: From the Ashes is a game that doesn’t reveal its true strength in the first hour—or even the first few. At a glance, it appears to be another third-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, echoing familiar aesthetics and themes we've seen in dozens of games before. The early areas are muted and grim, the opening fights fairly straightforward, and the story initially vague. But what starts as a seemingly conventional shooter quickly evolves into something far more ambitious and rewarding. Beneath the surface, Remnant is a unique blend of genre influences: a shooter that carries the DNA of Soulslike games, wrapped in procedurally generated worlds, with a robust co-op system and surprisingly deep customization. The game’s most defining feature is its world generation system, which reshapes each player’s journey. Rather than a strictly linear progression, Remnant uses dynamically generated maps, bosses, and events to create a campaign that’s both replayable and unique to each player. This procedural approach doesn’t mean the world feels random or incoherent—quite the opposite. Each biome, from the scorched deserts of Rhom to the twisted woodlands of Yaesha, has a distinct visual identity and thematic cohesion. What changes is how the player moves through it: one playthrough might feature a certain boss or NPC questline, while another may bypass it entirely. This approach rewards exploration, discussion with other players, and multiple replays, as there’s no single version of the “full” experience. Combat is where the game truly excels. It’s tense, weighty, and unforgiving in a way that immediately recalls the Souls series, yet it carves out its own space with tight gunplay and a wide variety of weapon types. Ranged combat is the core, and each weapon feels purposeful—whether you're using a precise hunting rifle, a devastating shotgun, or a bizarre bio-tech weapon that spawns minions or detonates on impact. On top of that, weapon mods and traits allow for extensive customization. Mods add powerful abilities—ranging from healing auras to lightning storms—while traits let you tailor your stats and playstyle over time. The system is deep enough to support both solo and co-op builds, allowing for true synergy when playing with others. The cooperative experience in Remnant is particularly well-executed. While the game can be completed solo, it was clearly designed with co-op in mind. Up to three players can team up, and the challenge scales accordingly. This makes for thrilling boss fights and intense exploration where coordination and timing become crucial. Some boss encounters are almost puzzle-like in their mechanics, forcing players to manage adds, environmental hazards, and shifting boss phases. There’s a clear satisfaction in overcoming these challenges as a team, especially after multiple failed attempts. And because of the procedural nature of the game, no two co-op sessions are quite the same. Despite its many strengths, Remnant: From the Ashes is not without its flaws. The story, while serviceable, often feels underdeveloped. Lore is scattered across logs and cryptic dialogue, and the overarching plot lacks the emotional weight or complexity found in other narrative-driven games. Characters you encounter are often archetypal or underutilized, and the game doesn’t invest much time in building character relationships or memorable NPC arcs. Similarly, the game can suffer from pacing issues, particularly in solo play, where some sections feel like grind-heavy slogs due to tough enemy encounters or sparse checkpoints. Certain difficulty spikes can feel artificial rather than organic, especially when combined with unpredictable procedural elements. Visually, the game is a mixed bag. While its technical fidelity isn’t groundbreaking, Remnant succeeds more through atmosphere than graphical detail. Each world has a distinct tone and artistic style, with some locations standing out as beautifully alien or eerily haunting. The contrast between ruined cities on Earth and the otherworldly biomes in alternate dimensions adds to the sense of scale and mystery. There’s also an underlying tension in the world design that reinforces the narrative premise: humanity clinging to survival in the face of an unknowable and overwhelming force. Sound design helps reinforce this, with enemy roars and ambient effects often being the only cues before an ambush. Where Remnant truly finds its legs is in its long-term progression and replayability. Between the randomized encounters, hidden items, alternate boss drops, and multiple build paths, there’s always something new to chase. Players who engage with the game’s Adventure Mode and Campaign rerolls will find secrets they missed the first time—bosses they never fought, dungeons they never entered, and gear that dramatically changes the way the game plays. The system encourages experimentation and rewards players who dive deep. This is especially evident when trying new archetypes or mixing weapon mods to create unique combat strategies. The loot and upgrade systems are simple enough to be accessible but deep enough to support long-term engagement. Expansions like Swamps of Corsus and Subject 2923 deepen the experience further, adding entirely new zones, gear, story content, and challenge modes. These additions push the boundaries of what the base game achieved, introducing enemies and areas that are more conceptually rich and mechanically complex. In particular, Subject 2923 adds some of the game’s best environments and bosses, as well as a more cohesive narrative thread that ties back into the main story. For returning players, these expansions are a strong incentive to revisit the game; for new players, they expand an already vast world into something that feels truly complete. Ultimately, Remnant: From the Ashes is a game that rewards patience and persistence. It may not immediately dazzle with cinematic storytelling or AAA production values, but it offers a gameplay experience that’s rare: a deep, dynamic, and challenging action shooter that respects the player’s time and intelligence. It stands out not just for its satisfying combat and creative world design, but for its willingness to experiment with structure in ways that few games in the genre dare to attempt. It succeeds not in spite of its flaws, but because of how it overcomes them—through smart design, thoughtful mechanics, and a clear understanding of what makes games fun to replay. For players seeking a unique blend of Soulslike intensity and cooperative shooter strategy, Remnant: From the Ashes is an experience well worth investing in. Rating: 8/10

Performance could be better at times but it's really solid still considering it does not utilise DLSS / FG. It does a lot better than Remnant 2 - it also does a few things worse... This Remnant actually has somewhat of a story though, it's DLC also had NEW areas rather than just reusing the same areas like it's sequel Remnant 2... The best thing? "Survival" mode - it's a roguelike where you start from nothing but 1000 scrap and have access to a few shops that you and your party share. Limited weapons/armour and stuff, decide who wants what, make some crazy builds. The effects in survival are buffed through the roof, the standard traits in story mode are amplified meaning you can have some crazy builds by mixing just a few of these traits. Endless fun, even after finishing Remnant 1 and 2 multiple times, me and my friend still prefer Remnant 1 for survival.

I’ve owned this game for a long time basically since it launched but never got around to reviewing it until now. I played it across multiple platforms and finished it at least three times on PC alone. It’s like Dark Souls with guns, but don’t let that scare you off. The combat is tight, the bosses are challenging and the co-op is an absolute blast. There’s a ton of replay-ability with randomized worlds/loot and the Adventure Mode keeps things fresh even after beating the main story. The story itself isn’t super deep but the game-play loop more than makes up for it. If you’re into tough-but-fair shooters with great co-op, this one’s a gem.

The shooting feel and melee feel are good, the monster design is rather one-dimensional, but the bosses are all pretty well done, and the weapons and monsters are well-designed and very fun to play.

Diablo, Dark Souls, The Division and Hellgate London, mix them in a bowl and you get Remnant from the Ashes. In the game, Earth has been rendered uninhabitable by an invasion of demonic beings from multiple dimensions, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. As a member of the Remnant, the last surviving group of humans, we set out to find the place where the evil beings came from and put an end to it. The gameplay is a shooter with a mix of action, RPG, and spiritual genres. Throughout our adventure we will slaughter many creatures and strengthen ourselves by collecting crafting materials. The game features a Dark Souls-style boss fight at the end of each level, and even the entrance to the boss is the same as in Dark Souls. (We pass through a grey, foggy door and enter the boss's location). The game has a dark, fairytale-like art style, similar to Darksiders and Vampyr. I think it's quite nice. You can play the game either as a single player or in co-op.
