Everything you need to know about Remnant 2 is going to be in this segment, including an overview of Remnant 2 and the overall perception from different gaming companies and just players in general. As I've seen the game, I haven't played the game, but researching, I found out what people are thinking about it and how people wanted to go in the future because. if you don't know, Remnant 2 is obviously a sequel, but it's the sequel to the 2019 action RPG Remnant from the Ashes. So it takes place several years after the first game with the war against the alien invaders known as the Root. And I know a lot of nerdy details would stick with me as we're going to be getting into a lot of details with Remnant 2. Basically, players explore new worlds, fight new enemies, acquire new weapons and abilities, everything you've heard in the third person survival shooting game, multiplayer game.

What else? There's a new multiplayer mode, which is called Expeditions, which allows players to team up with up to three other players to take on challenging missions. And it came out July 25th, 2023 for Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and PC. And the biggest thing you need to know is that a lot of people are calling this, a candidate for a game of the year because what I've heard it described to me as is like a destiny meets elder ring and it's simply because remnant is one of those games was a lot of exploration that's rewarded you go into a certain crevice realizes a whole other room you can get into with the

actual boss so it gets to that point where it's like wow these developers put so much passion and love into a shooter that just has to be acknowledged because compared to other shooters like a destiny or I don't want to you know make any uh core fanboys like upset but basically I've seen that remnant and its character creation is like procedural I can't even say procedurally generated I definitely butcher that but basically it's like every time you go into a world it cannot be the, it's not the same as what you was in your play through. Like it's procedurally generated to where a boss can be in one map, but in your play through, that boss was in like a different map.

So basically that's, it's a lot of things that comes with it that's on a surprise factor type thing. And that's where the elder ring appeal comes in. Because a lot of, how do I say this? A lot of guides are why. because of this game. And that's the same effect that Oden Ring had on the gaming community. A lot of people had to go through different guides to get to certain places to where, oh, I can do this in that room and I can get this reward or, oh, if I go to this map at this time,

shoot this specific item, I get this legendary weapon. It's stuff like that and the guides that helps you just grow in your love for the game. and your love for the amount of passion that the developers put into it because who wants to pay 70 dollars for a game and end up playing it and it's like wow this is very bare bones seems like the developers didn't even care to add any sort of surprise and twist a turn is just like straightforward bare bones shooter you know so when games like reminette come out of the blue because i didn't really hear too many people talking about this and as far as the overall sales It was

Compared to a lot of other games It's not like the highest selling game you've ever seen But it's definitely solid sales-wise And It's up there as far as like Actually, let me see if I can pull this up Because remnant two amongst Compared to other games as far as video game

Let me see Could you have Of course you have Counterstrike Bauders gay Seamily Bartis Gay will find his way into any best-selling list won't it? And then you have let me see

I don't see running the two at all yeah so even though it's not like in the top like trending games yeah that's unfortunate let's see I think it's still doing solid enough to get another game added to it because the games I'm seeing in the top is like Overwatch of course and in

let's see in Apex Legends so yeah as far as like Steam, it's not really. So let me look it up as far as like concerts, because that's a little different. How do you spell this game? Remnant 2 games. I never really compared the sales aspect to it because what was sold to me was the quality. And it's not like, it's very much a niche game.

So I'm not saying like, oh, it should be selling more because it's very niche. But, um, okay, so Remnant 2 sold over 1 million units in this first week of release, which is pretty impressive in itself, you know? Like other games like Elder Ring, of course, Eldon Ring, so like 12 million in this first week. So, you know, you're comparing a very niche game, but the quality is on the level of Eldon Ring. That's what I'm trying to say. And it's not the biggest release you've seen in 2023, but it's still very impressive. And that's why I pointed out. So at the end of the day, Remnant 2, all I have to say about it is that it may not be one of the best selling games, But the, oh, we're supposed to get into reviews.

I'm tripping. Overall, well, I guess I was going to get into that. The general consensus, as you see right here, is that the game is phenomenal. IGN gave this a 9 out of 10. Let me see what's some other ones? Polygon, this unscored. That's great. PC games gave it an 8 out of 10.

Destructory gave it an 8.5 at the 10. And you see what they're saying about. Like they're saying exactly what you want from a sequel. IGN says absolutely nails the concept What concept we're talking about? We imagine the souls like genre. See, this is the altering aspect. So it's like souls like genre

as a co-op looter shooter. And that's probably the perfect description I can give of it. If you can see right here, Shameless Plug, Analytic Dreams video, but I just highlighted it. So basically, as you see, remit remnant two is quality

is... way more than probably the amount is actually selling. Like it probably won't be the best selling game, but I could see it end up on the list of best game. Or I can see it ending up as a candidate for game of the year. But anyways, click my link to your in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Remnant 2 as a looter shooter

and also just as a souls like game in itself, have you played it? Are you planning on playing it? And do you think that this game should be considered with others that come out in the same year, 2023, for Game of the Year?
