Remnant 2’s Visual Aesthetic Helps It Stand Out Among Soulslikes

While not a pure Soulslike, Remnant 2 advances the ideas established by its predecessor in nearly every way to make good on the “Dark Souls with guns” comparison that many made regarding Remnant: From The Ashes. A skillful blend of co-op shooter and challenging, methodical Soulslike, Remnant 2 is the best kind of video game sequel — one that takes all the highlights of the first game in a series and improves them with skillful iteration without fixing what isn’t broken. Perhaps one of the standout features of the title is its unique aesthetic and massive visual upgrade over the first game.
