Remnant II certainly is more Remnant, but it's by no means resting on its laurels. There are some big changes coming to core elements of the experience - from class design to visuals to procedural generation and more. Based on my hands-on time with it, all the new stuff is paying off - big time.
As for me, I really really loved Remnant 1 and got all expansions for it gladly. I'm also a big fan of Gunfire Games studio and their other AA games like Darksiders and have high hopes for Remnant 2.
I haven't fully watched the video yet but it seems like the sequel improves on the original in pretty much every way while not being just a lazy continuation and instead having actual gameplay changes and improvements.
I enjoyed Remnant 1: the only souls-like with a proper focus on gun play that I know of. Hope 2 improves upon the predecessor.
It’s the only of its kind as far as I’m aware and tbh, I had a lot of frustrations with various design choices they made.. but with nothing else like it I enjoyed it and will buy this one too lol. I don’t expect them to change their approach on a few things but I can tolerate it just for the sake of a souls shooter
But it’s a shame because I didn’t really enjoy too many of the boss fights. Ironic since that’s usually a big draw for these games
