Remnant 2<\/em> is, without a doubt, one of my favorite games of 2023, even among all the chart-topping AAA blockbusters like Starfield<\/em> and Armored Core 6<\/em>. Its overwhelmingly positive reception took most of us by surprise, but if you’ve played the game, you’ll understand why it was so successful.<\/p>
The creative blend of precise third-person gunplay with Soulslike elements and remarkably in-depth RPG systems engender a satisfying, polished and, above all, enjoyable<\/em> experience with astounding replayability. So when developer Gunfire Games announced The Awakened King<\/em>, Remnant 2’s<\/em> first DLC, I was all for it, despite being somewhat perturbed to hear we’d be returning to Losomn instead of exploring a new world.<\/p>
Now, just four months after Remnant 2’s<\/em> explosive launch, the DLC has been and gone. It’s over after four short hours of gameplay. And while they were four well-crafted hours I’m glad I got to experience, they left me hungry for more instead of feeling fully satisfied.<\/p>
