Game of the Show: Remnant: From the Ashes
Published by Gunfire Games, MSRP $40, Buy on the Epic Game store.
I’m very bad at Dark souls and souls like games, I have to invest a lot of time and mental effort to memorize enemies’ (even grunts!) patterns. I also don’t like to get punished all the time.
HOWEVER - this game isn’t as punishing! It’s almost souls-rogue-like in a sense that there is no punishment for dying (other than going back to the checkpoint) and you get to keep all your resources and progress. So eventually you’ll be able to upgrade yourself enough to progress. There are checkpoints every 5-10 minutes so you're never really over-invested in a run.
The design and world are awesome and dark. Bosses freak me out.
No pause button! The internet told me to “just git gud” but I tricked them!
I have ~4-5 hours on it, it’s a nice game but I’m probably not going to play it through. I need something more casual, Hitman just went free on the Epic game store (segway to next section) so I’ll check it out.
