EP01 - Remnant: From the Ashes with SuperRivz | I play the games, so you don't have to!

 

Remnant: From the Ashes

As an enthusiast of post-apocalyptic games, I recently embarked on a thrilling journey into the world of "Remnant: From the Ashes." Teaming up with my friend SuperRivz, we ventured through this gritty, mysterious universe for the first couple of hours, culminating in an epic showdown against the formidable first boss, Gorefist.

First Impressions

Right off the bat, "Remnant" captivates with its dark, desolate setting, a world ravaged by an ancient evil known as the Root. The game's opening cinematic sets a somber tone, teasing the perilous adventures that lay ahead

Initial Exploration and Combat

The game wastes no time throwing challenges our way. SuperRivz and I navigated through dilapidated urban landscapes, where every corner held potential danger. Combat in "Remnant" is a blend of traditional third-person shooting and melee attacks, requiring a careful balance of aggression and caution. I found myself gravitating towards the shotgun obvs!

We encountered various enemies, from lesser minions to more formidable foes. Each skirmish tested our reflexes and strategic thinking. The game’s mechanics felt solid, with responsive controls and a satisfying feedback loop of combat.

The Gorefist Encounter

The pinnacle of our two-hour session was the confrontation with Gorefist. This hulking monstrosity, armed with a massive blade and surrounded by explosive minions, presented our first real test as a team. The arena, an enclosed space littered with obstacles, added an extra layer of challenge to the fight.

SuperRivz and I had to adapt quickly, learning Gorefist's attack patterns while managing the additional threats. Communication was key; calling out enemy position and coordinating our attacks made all the difference. We failed many times, however, we persisted and after several tense minutes, a combination of well-timed dodges, focused gunfire, and melee strikes, we brought the beast down. The sense of accomplishment was palpable.

Reflections and Looking Forward

As we wrapped up our session, I couldn't help but feel excited for what's to come. "Remnant: From the Ashes" promises a deep, evolving world, filled with secrets and challenges. The co-op experience with SuperRivz was seamless and immensely enjoyable, adding a social dimension to the gameplay.

In just two hours, "Remnant" has laid the groundwork for what seems to be an enthralling adventure. I'm eager to dive back in, explore more of its dark corners, and uncover the mysteries of the Root. For those who enjoy a blend of action, strategy, and a post-apocalyptic setting, "Remnant: From the Ashes" is definitely worth checking out.
