REVIEW SUMMARY
Remnant: From the Ashes
8.5
Remnant: From The Ashes Review - Underpriced, Underrated And Unintentionally Great
Remnant: From the Ashes is far from a perfect game, and there are some glaring aspects that really put a damper on the title. That said, by the end of it all, you're still left with an incredibly solid third-person shooter mixed with challenging elements, all meshed incredibly well together for a passion project that oozes potential. Whether you're wandering the realms solo or with some friends, Remnant offers a thoroughly engaging experience that proves its developer's chops in making a solid action RPG title.
  • Great gunplay, with weight behind the shooting and a ton of variety for its weapons.
  • Solid dodging, strafing and other side mechanics.
  • Dynamic Progression works well, to an extent.
  • Good boss and enemy designs.
  • Intriguing story and narrative.
  • Repetitive at times due to the nature of the rearranged dungeon system.
  • Melee combat not as impactful.
  • Boring voice acting and overall sound design.
  • Artificial scaling difficulty.
