I’d have to dodge its tentacle strikes, move around acid pits, and leap off of platforms as it knocked them down one by one - all while avoiding the additional enemies it spawned and nailing the weak spot in its mouth. I found myself surrounded by enemies quickly, taking massive damage as I tried to pick them off with pinpoint accuracy and avoid their attacks with slow evasive rolls.Īfter locking down the flow of combat, I successfully made it to the demo’s boss: an ugly floating head at the center of a circular stone arena. Though of course, that didn’t mean my demo was a cakewalk. There’s a lot of power and weight to my shots, which feel like they absolutely obliterate enemies on kill. Gunslinger acted as a great introduction to the basics, highlighting how strong the shooting feels here.
Pressing the left bumper would target it toward nearby enemies, but I could also do some button-holding to aim the shot myself before letting loose. I’d get an introduction to some of the game’s new systems when trying out my Gunslinger’s special ability, a multi-shot “fan the hammer” type move similar to Overwatch’s Cassidy.
Naturally, this had me focused mostly on accurate handgun shots as I popped flying enemies out of midair. I saw that first-hand when I began my demo as the more balanced Gunslinger class. While each archetype is still built around a specific set of weapons, they come loaded with more skills and perks that are gradually unlocked through a progression system. Remnant 2 continues all of that, but the big change this time is in how it’s handling character classes. The difference, though, is that the focus is on gunplay rather than close-ranged melee combat. You’ve got your high-difficulty, bonfire-like checkpoints, evasion rolls, and enormous bosses on the other side of foggy doors.
Like its predecessor, Remnant 2 is a third-person shooter that draws inspiration from the Soulslike genre.
