Remnant II | Generational Masterpiece

I just need to tell you about this amazing game.

[@gaijinhunter]

If you are playing on an overpowered love-to-overheat Intel i9-13900KS (6GHz) like me, some Unreal 5 games have trouble with it, using the free Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, turning your P-core ration to x54 solved any issues (at least for me). Just want to put that out there! i9 13th gen is a doozy :p Also for those curious, Yuna also played the game a lot and she loves Losomn most, and I love Yaesha most. Can't wait for Dark Horizon in just a few days!

[@boahnoa99]

Hey Gaijin just FYI, if the CPU problem you’re describing is the one I think it is you have to manually update your BIOs for a real fix. The newest intel CPUs are slowly burning themselves out and underclocking it like you described isn’t a full fix. Your CPU is likely still degrading faster than it should even if it isn’t having issue with UE5 games. If you didn’t already know about all that then I highly recommend you do some research to see if you are affected. What you need specifically is microcode update x129, which can only be applied through a manual BIOs update.

[@Kegaran]

I can not wait for the DLC tomorrow evening (my time) and can't wait for Remnant 3 already!

[@BigBADSTUFF69]

@@boahnoa99 Yeah I have a 14700 and this update was available about a month ago from my motherboard company. Check on your motherboards driver website and it should be there, it won't get pushed automatically through windows update.

[@xianlee]

I've not played the game yet, but there was a rumour or leak a week or so ago, saying they've poured their heart and soul into the new DLC and it's going to be amazing

[@Kegaran]

Going by the base game, 1st and second DLC as well as Remnant from the Ashes I am willing to believe that leak 1000000%

[@prototype102010]

My buddy and I played this at launch going in blind and it was hillarious. "Hey how you liking it? These castle guards are really kicking my ass. How are you managing?" "Castle guards?? I'm fighting flying space things!" We had no idea we'd get different starts lol.

[@RedStar441]

The early start of Remnant 2 was fantastic. Everyone starting in different worlds meeting up with completely different outfits and gear. Really felt as though we were a band of interdimensional travelers.

[@DBurner9]

I cannot express how much I LOVE this game! The gameplay, the secrets, the replayability, and the customization is so good!

[@cykablyat3680]

I absolutelly hate the secrets, 90% of them are pure bullshit like getting the leto armor, or doing 100 flips in front of regie or the wordt of them, unlocking the archon. Im all up for rewarding exploration, but when most of your classes and equipment are too well hidden that i need a guide to find them instead of rewarding me with gear after doing a quest or some boss like in the first game then its a problem

[@slickrick7438]

This game is beyond underrated. It's my favorite shooter period, first or third person.

[@nexarath]

You fanboys are beyond deluded. Not only is everyone and their mother these days ranting and raving about this game, it's always these same uncannily bad takes, lol. Just, wow. Please play Doom 2016 or Eternal. Or Titanfall. Or Gears of War IV or V. Or Mass Effect 2. Or, fuckit, I can list another 30+ games that are infinitely better than this mid tripe, but Imma just stop there. And if you HAVE played them, man, shit, dunno what to say, honestly.

[@Frost.7xx]

Facts. Its way too good.

[@valk5041]

Playing co-op with friends in this for our first play through was a genuinely unforgettable experience. The dumb shenanigans that occurred while trying to figure out puzzles and stuff for the first time was such a fun time. Highly recommend this game to anyone who is also looking for a god tier co-op game

[@Frost.7xx]

The hardcore experience is top notch too. (And 3 of the best items in the game come from hardcore completions) 🤫🤫

[@darshans6321]

The game's pricing is really fair too.. Each dlc gives you a ton of stuff for just 10 dollars. It's insane!

[@BalianBlue_]

I wouldn't even say fair. I think the base game would totally be worth a full price 60 bucks and the DLC's like 15 a piece. This games prices is a steal for us lol. It's a good thing though since it encouraged so many people to try to first one and this one.

[@AegisAuras]

And other devs are out there making a single skin $20 🤢

[@Orion1802]

I understand that the game has a loving and large community. But Remnant 2, like the first part, deserves much more recognition among players. To combine so many unique mechanics in one project and for it all to work perfectly is an incredible talent of the developers. Bravo Gunfire Games!

[@bucswin2]

Yes! Was a bit surprised seeing this from your channel but it’s such a great game even your audience would enjoy it.

[@DigitalinDaniel]

Happy traveling! ;) The protagonist of each game in the series has a title: Chronos = The Destroyer (The Destroyer might also be The Dreamer in Remnant 1) Remnant = The Wanderer Remnant 2 = The Traveler

[@SympatheticStrawman]

There's no "might" about it. It's been confirmed that The Dreamer is The Destroyer. I'll see if I can find the source, but I know it's been confirmed by Gunfire before.

[@amatsumegasushi285]

It's always awesome to see someone who you enjoy watching their content discover another franchise you love. Remnant 2 is a fantastic game with so much content it's almost absurd. Cheers Gaijin, glad you enjoyed the game! 😁

[@johnstanley7645]

As someone who played the first Remnant and Remnant 2 at launch, this is a pretty good summary. It also has probably the most supportive and helpful community of any online game. A lot of veterans who love the game and love to help out others.

[@Vovi-Knight]

this is the reason I love remnant 2 and the reason I got into destiny 2 as well (before bungie decided "you know what, gazillion microtransactions") mage + shooter is one of the most fun playstyles ever I absolutely love that I can cast spells while also wielding guns (the engineer class still casts spells since you conjure a turret from nothing)

[@rainydayz1632]

Almost 400 hours in the game since launch, and its hands down one of my favorite games ever. This game is the perfect example of getting back what you put into it. You can run through the campaign, not exploring, thinking everything is gonna be obvious, and then get upset when you didn't find too much, or are using the same weapon and armor you started with 10 hours in. OR you take your time, you explore more fully, maybe use a touch of curiosity and thinking and wil be surprised at just how many things you can find, weapons, rings, amulets, armor, relics, everything really. It's such a complete and full game, for beyond fair pricing as well.

[@swector_unit4257]

166 started back in early August this year can't wait for the DLC tomorrow.

[@biggums5]

Couldn't agree more! Easily one of my favorite games for both single player and coop. It also has full crossplay which i greatly enjoy.

[@Liostro]

This game is outstanding and a crime that its not more well know. this game is real. thank you for shinning a light on it!

[@nexarath]

It is very very well known. Mostly for being an incredibly mid game that its rabid fanbase props up to high heavens despite no one else understanding why.

[@Liostro]

@@nexarath cool story bro

[@GenDrake3]

why play a souls like when I can just play a souls game that's 20x better. This is Temu Souls

[@MrDrobotor]

Love to see you back, even if its just for a video. Love your voice, would watch any video from you

[@yourtsuchinobro2025]

I played this game when it first came out to completion. I was checking community posts for new secrets and hidden bits every week and seeing it still go strong with the DLC releases is amazing! I havent played any of the DLC yet, but i certainly will when i can afford to :D

[@MAGHAZARD]

Me and two buddy's played this non stop on launch. Beat the game and immediately jumped back in on the next hardest play through and started min maxing builds. We even knocked out a hardcore run for the gun and ring rewards, i'm so hyped for DLC 3 and glad to see others talking about this game.

[@Someone-lg6di]

Hardcore anilation was terrifying thank God for coop on hardcore

[@Frvnklin]

Remnant: From The Ashes is the true underrated gem, especially for what it accomplished when it came out. Oh and survival mode is endless fun too. Remnant 2 is cool but 1 will always be my favorite.

[@NevTheDeranged]

Remnant 2 is awesome, but I still go back and do a run through RftA from time to time, it's like the video game equivalent of comfort food.

[@chefbenji1880]

I have been spreading the gospel of this game for almost a year now. And everytime i convinced a friend to get it (and thats by offering to do a full playthru with them) they tell me a little while later "how did I not hear about this game, its sooooo good". Also this was my personal goty last year.

[@bix9757]

This game has a ton of milage with so many secrets and builds to work for. Love it.

[@randy1savage]

love this game and the 1st one. glad to see it on your radar. enjoying the video!

[@samaron8970]

I absolutely adore this game, and it was the true GoTY for me last year, it's got all the best aspects of shooters with none of the drawbacks, the bosses are souls tear excellent for the most part, and I love the build variety. For instance, when I first saw merciless, the weapon seemed terrible, but for whatever reason, I was determined to make a powerful bleed build with it. It is now my main gun and I went through a whole apoc run with it, because the game allows you so much build freedom and allows you to make anything work.

[@Skeleton-chan]

As soon as I found the Summoner archetype, I was locked the fuck in. I started looking for all kinds of synergies to make my little meatballs do work. Then I unlocked the big Root Reaver summon at level 10 and suddenly I was a backup dancer to my BIG BOI doing big damage. I'd let him run in, take the aggro and drop all kinds of support mods from my guns and utility buffs from my Handler secondary archetype. Then when playing through the second DLC, I found an amulet that gave my pet a TON of extra damage and some movement speed, but lowered my Damage Reduction considerably. So now I was a glass support protecting my even beefier boi. THEN later on, I accidentally stumbled upon an event that allowed me to change that amulet into a different form that got rid of the negative, and gave even more movement speed. And now boi moves like a fucking olympic sprinter when it's time to beat some shitty fae. This all hapened organically as I played the game. And that's just one possible build path. You could stumble across anything and decide "This is my flavour" then every new ring/amulet/weapon/etc. you find is another chance at new synergies, new powerups, new playstyles to augment that. Genuinely a once in a generation game experience.

[@Hirens.]

Played the shit out of the first game, Remnant from the Ashes. Now I'm playing Remnant 2 on PC with my friend who has it on PS5. Really enjoying it. I've unlocked everything the game has to offer and I've made so many builds the build tabs are not enough anymore. 😅 Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@bbgoodnough]

I feel this way about Remnant 2 as well. The game is SO well balanced around making you feel like you are constantly finding worthwhile upgrades to your character. Too many games have failed at this.

[@WHlSKYtx]

This is always the game I play during Destiny downtime. Its seriously one of the most underrated game ever

[@skyhook8822]

Love that you're playing this game and bringing more awareness to it. It sold well, but it deserves so much more. Also Sparkfire shotgun is OP

[@DV-ou1yu]

THIS GAME is in fact an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! I love this game. Remnant 1 to 2 was the same as the AC1 to AC2 leap.

[@null5489]

This was my favorite game of last year. One of my all time favorites, at this point.

[@TheHarbingerODeath]

My wallet, and my time. This gave me a chuckle.

[@Astaticembrace]

The buildcrafting quality of this game is insane considering the action gameplay is ALSO top shelf.

[@snake7075]

Remnant 2 is a banger, the final boss was such a hype fight, currently working through the dlcs and they are so good

[@DarkHeroCC]

Having heard so much good stuff from you and Rurikhan I have no choice but to get this game 😅

[@BirdMoose]

One cool difficulty adjusting mechanic is campaign re-rolling. On my first playthrough I chose nightmare and got hard stuck on a boss. I had the option to re-roll my campaign while keeping my character and loot. In this case you could lower difficulty, but instead I ran nightmare again, and got a different boss, but notably the gear I gained from both campaigns making it to the boss made it so I was able to clear where before I was too weak. It's such a unique and cool approach to difficulty that I've never seen anywhere else. If you enjoy the brutally hard games, I'd recommend trying out the higher difficulties blind for Rem2, because it has this option if you ever get truly stuck and it makes every single encounter tense and every piece of loot meaningful.

[@Someone-lg6di]

Almost happened to me was on veteran buy my second boss was red prince which I didn't get enough coins and his modifiers gave him elemental resist and regeneration. Had to learn to dodge every attack while using any item that gave hp regeneration

[@pythonxz]

Their art team is exceptional.

[@Frost.7xx]

It really is an absolute masterpiece. I’ve never loved a game as much as I love remnant: from the ashes…. And remnant II blows it out of the water. Cleaner gun play, smoother mechanics, INSANE build crafting, endless replay-ability, and on par with Elden ring for boss designs. It truly is a genre defining game. And the BIGGEST change to the game comes tomorrow with the 3rd DLC, which is going to turn this game from a 10/10 to at least a 14/10 😂 Can’t fkn wait!

[@soundandfury9641]

I feel like remnant 1 was shot in the foot so hard by the “dark souls with guns” attention it got in its initial coverage which was EXTREMELY reductive and doesn’t even come close to describing what that game was capable of. Remnant 1 was already amazing in so many ways and 2 deepened the build crafting to a massive degree and gave us more of the style of planets and bosses and secrets we’d come to love from the first. Couldnt ask for more (I miss Ward Prime though that’s still the coolest area for me).

[@donogoodatgames]

Having played the game a decent amount of time on XBOX Series X, I can tell you that outside of some very minor glitches (that didn't really affect gameplay at all), the game performed perfectly for me and my friends. We were even playing co-op in a team of 3, where one of us has terrible Internet, and there were still pretty much 0 bugs. I can't wait to see what comes with the DLC tomorrow, and even though it might be a couple of years away, I can only imagine how insane Remnant 3 could be. Easily one of the best and most fun multiplayer games I've ever played. I would recommend it to everybody 👍

[@DemonEdge82]

Probably the best value game on the market including the DLC, definitely one of my favorite games of the last two years.

[@Spectingthemvoid]

omg yes thank you for covering Remnant 2, especially right before the last DLC comes out!

[@ethe0m]

So happy to see more people talking about Remnant 2.

[@ozam4419]

Delighted you found and enjoyed this game - found it amazing both for solo-play and with friends. Enjoy the new expansion :D

[@pyoheliobros5773]

I played Remnant 2, but not entirely though. I found it fun, as I also played Remnant 1 (or Remnant of the ashes). But I kind of struggled with the "where to go and what to do" part of the game. I also felt overwhelmed because of a place I went to where I got my ass kicked, but I was almost fully upgraded, which was quite frustrating. But maybe I need to try it out again.

[@Someone-lg6di]

Both games scale the world to your level upon entering the world. I think the first game has icons to show if your armor/weapons are underleveled. If u upgraded your weapon to much without focusing on armor u might have started dieing easily

[@SF_Zoom]

I'm so ready for the DLC/Expansion coming out tomorrow.. its by far one of my favorite co-op games of all times. Its a perfect blend of dark souls with guns but with its own identity. A hidden gem for most.

[@villageflippinidiot]

I just finished my first playthrough solo and my first co op playthrough yesterday. Im loving this game, and the fact that its crossplay. My best friend and i have been trying to find a crossplay game and this has been just perfect

[@LuciferHunter-kt7pm]

I absolutely LOVE this game!! I never bought the first one but Remnant 2 was highly recommended at launch and have not stopped playing this.

[@Svartsomkato]

Dot builds for life!!! I just came here to gush over this game. It’s amazing! New dlc dropping soon so if your haven’t played it, it’s the perfect time to do so. 10/10 Masterpiece

[@iownall2222]

One thing not mentioned is the rewards that are exclusive to difficulty modes. For each of the harder difficulties, there is an exclusive long gun as well as a melee weapon for beating the game on them. So it's definitely worth doing the harder difficulties. Also, I play on PS5 and I've never once encountered any bugs or glitches outside of one for unlocking an archetype (basically your class). So it runs great on consoles too. Definitely worth the price of admission.

[@JovenCesare]

Hey Man, I had hear of the game before, and only glanced at it with disinterest. But after you explained the mechanics and the systems around it, I gave it a go and am also in disbelief that it would have been possible for me to never have played this game at all! Thanks for reviewing this game GaijinHunter!

[@FeverSensei]

This game really is a blast there’s a ton of content and replay ability with so many fun secrets to find and builds to make, I’m really hoping this last dlc and especially the boss rush mode add that final bit of “endgame” that the game didn’t really have besides doing apocalypse of each of the worlds and a hardcore run

This game got me sold since first game put 500 hours in helping people and playing all the content in the game. Still missing some traits and mods and what not too. There's so much hidden stuff in this game which makes it so enjoyable. Can't wait for Tuesday dlc launch

[@danboud8135]

I know Baldurs Gate 3 was the 800-pound gorilla in the room for 2023 but Remnant 2 is, without a doubt, my GOTY for last year. The game is superlative.

Don't out shoot just out live.

[@Marekthejester]

The first Remnant is still a pretty good game but going from Remnant 1 to 2 is like jumping from Dark Souls 3 to Elden Ring, it's kinda more of the same but refined and expanded in every way possible.

[@remotecontrolaxe]

I played the first game with friends and enjoyed it. I haven't tried 2 yet, but this glowing recommendation definitely bumped it up on my list. In the first, I primarily played with melee weapons, even though the game still seemed to overall want you to use guns. I'll have to see how melee builds work out in this...

[@Henry-vb6wm]

While I disagree for playing "forever". It is definitely finite as I am nearing the end of all the potential items I can collect. That said, I absolutely love this game. I bought this game with no knowledge of the series didn't come in with any expectations. Easily one of my favorite games. The amount you can do it huge and is a blast to play. I've spent countless hours making fun builds. It's right up there in difficulty that I enjoy too. As a MH fan, it definitely scratches that similar itch.

[@iangorton8390]

Best explanation of the game I have seen and one of my favorite games to ever come out. I really hope they make more dlc and harder bosses with more mechanics. I want some true end game optional bosses that make annihilation look like a joke. I want a new class of elite enemy’s (ultras or something) that are harder random encounters to add into the hardest difficulty. Maybe like a tree centipede in yesha that when killed breaks into 2 root mantis. Or a flying jellyfish flower that when killed plants itself into the ground and sprouts an elite from the yesha dlc. I want more puzzle bosses like the lab sentinal and more to the lab in general. Maybe like a boss you need to fight while navigating a platform section with a portal puzzle all while dodging and shooting
