#Remnant from the ashes dlc plans full

The former especially, so let’s first talk the latter. For the most part, I think Subject 2923 and Swamps of Corsus do a good job of that. DLC, in a general sense, should be a good continuation of the original game. New enemies, new areas, and most importantly, new bosses. Each Remnant – From the Ashes DLC adds a handful of non-traditional firearms that shoot energy or arrows or bugs, and armor with a neat perk that’s only viable if you use all three pieces of the set, and a dozen new rings with various buffs. Cool new zones to explore and new things to kill and new things to kill with. The lore of Remnant: From the Ashes has a lot of potential to be fascinating, but without enough detail, it kind of deflates.įortunately, we’re not actually here for the story. You meet one of the original Dreamers in the DLC, but even she doesn’t really have much to add. There are a few odd audio logs of a scientist saying “what if we stuck a laptop in someone’s brain,” and that’s about the extent of the additional lore. Unfortunately, that’s not quite the case. Subject 2923 indicated that we’d find out a bit more about the nature of the Dreamers. We know their brains were the method of teleportation to other dimensions, but true to Gunfire form, that’s about all we learned. Having defeated the Root thing sprouting from the brain of the Dreamer, it was only natural for the player to say “huh?” The main story goes a bit into just what the Dreamers were, but not so much the why. Remnant: From the Ashes – Subject 2923 is the better of the DLCs, as it’s more or less a continuation of the campaign and the only one with real story content.

You travel through a few different realms via magic crystal, and return to beat the final boss which was the gateway of the Root into our world, located in that lighthouse. You arrive at Ward 13, the last safe refuge for humans, determined to make it to a lighthouse on a nearby island for some reason.

Earth has been all but completely annihilated by an invasion of aliens(?) called the Root. Let’s revisit the main story of Remnant: From the Ashes. The short answer is, well, it feels considerably more completed.

So after like, a month of asking for a review copy, I finally got the chance to see how the full game-with both the Swamps of Corsus and Subject 2923 DLCs-feels in this more completed state. But what else should we expect from the studio that did Darksiders II? The vanilla version may not have had enough time to fully create the game they wanted, but they certainly made a game that was really really fun. For a lower budget game, it crossed all the right stuff off from the good soulslike list to make a great soulslike game.

Our previous review for Remnant – From the Ashes rated it pretty positively. Remnant: From The Ashes DLC Review – A Lot More Bang For A Lot Less Buck
